Default Re: Aerotech YAK as first acrobatic plane

I just managed to get the test flights in on the Aerotech I purchased and although I put a 3W-60 on it bringing the weight to around 20 lbs you'd never know it watching the plane fly. It slow down so much you'd think it would fall out of the sky but it keeps flying . Really like it and am looking forward to a 33% and 37 % .

The way these gassers are built today, light, strong,and stable, it's really not a big leap. I see people jump into them quick these days. I never owned nor flew a big gasser until I came back into this hobby after a seven year break with a 35%. Started 3D right away. These big birds just fly so damn good.

Here's a pic of my & year old with HIS EF Yak.You would enjoy which ever Yak you choose.The 50cc size is a great size to start you're 3D adventure,just don't try t rush it and find a mentor that has experience in 3D that can help you along the way.
