Default QQ Yak 102" GIII

Hopefully next week I will be getting a call from QQ Aircraft company asking for the money to order the Generation III model of the 102" QQ Yak. I have called to reserve one.
Here is part of the setup that I have plan so far.
Engine: 3w100 regular mufflers for now (upgrade to cans this winter)
Servos: Hitec 5955 on the elevators. Unsure for wings and rudder.
Batteries: Unsure about this but really want to run 2 2200 Fromeco batteries.
Question I have a Bat Share from Smart-Fly. If I have that will I only need one regulator then for the two batteries???
I plan to use a PCM Futaba rx. with a futaba 9c radio.
I also plan to run sullivan smoke pump in it. I have match boxes already but thinking since I am going to be running fromeco batteries and hitec servos would I be better off just programing the servos with the programmer. Will keep ya updated on the progress. First I got to get it in.

That setup should be sick. My friend has a Gen2 with a DA-100 and it's pretty good power. This plane on a 106CS should be a beast!

Default Re: QQ Yak 102" GIII

I'm getting mine this week. Can't wait, I feel it's the best all around and most competitive 35%er out there along with service that is second to none. Setup will be:
DA with cans
8611a's on ailerons and elevators
1 8711 on rudder
2.4 with AR 9000 / 2 remote receivers
Power Box Champion w/ lightened back plate (no match boxes and extra switches needed with power box)
2 Duralite 2150 2cells on Power Box
I'll post pics of the new updates as soon as I get it.

Yes the Gen II has a lot stiffer gear than the Gen I I have a Gen I with Gen II wings. The newer gear, however, is a pound heavier than the Gen I. I have yet to have problems with my gear and I have around 60 flights on mine. I am being gentle on my landings tho . . .

Mine came in at 26.5 lbs with a DA 100, and standard muffs, and it is plenty of power. I am putting cans in it this week - I will see if it adds any weight . . .
