That YAK is by far one of the most viceless and greatest flying airplanes ever built. It will take some setting up to get the aileron differential sorted. It will likely have a tiny bit of rudder to elevator coupling in the knife edge and thats dead easy to mix out. I agree 100% with what you say regarding how it makes you look good. You just wonder why you didnt get one earlier. Great stuff, hope you have hundreds of great flights with it. Kiwi |

Kiwi, Thanks man! i really do think this plane is fabulous!..i could tell right after it left the ground! The BME is one sweet motor too! Choke about 7-8 flips, choke off, ignition on.. started 1 flip everytime..now all i have to work on is the flip to start and glove off all in the same motion!!..LOL!!! i found knife edge flight to be a breeze..inverted flight hands off and the sweet sound of succsess when she rolls!!.. shweet.. shweet or what ever that sound is comming from the ailerons!!...hahaha too cool! cheers fellas! mannyh
