Default Video: Tank's 37.5% Yak

A bunch of guys were asking me for some video of my 37.5% Yak from Aviation Models so I shot some video yesterday. This is from the 5th flight of the airplane but as you will see, its an easy airplane to get use to. Enjoy. Feel free to fire away any questions you have in this thread.

Great video, and nice flying John, really enjoyed watching it, thanks.
I only have 3 flights on my Yak and of all the planes I own that one is the one I look forward to flying the most. Sammy called me yesterday and ask if I had been flying, with all the rain we have had here, I told him I got some in between storms and the 37.5% Yak should be illegal it is so much fun, feels like your flying a foamy doesn't it.......
I think it is the most comfortable feeling plane I have ever flown.

Chuck

Hey John, thanks for posting the vid. Fantastic flying as usual. The plane does look rock solid and I can tell how comfortable you are with it (inverted flat spins to the deck on the 6th flight). Bryan is right, you make it look easy!! Craig

ps. I didn't forget about your canopy

John,

Nice video!!!! - What setup are you using for your rudder - just outa curiousity??

I am teetering back and forth bewteen 3 - 8611A's or the Seiko PS-050. I haven't hacked out the tray yet. The rudder makes this thing the fajizzle in my opinion.


Thanks,

Ronster

Thanks fellas. I am using a Seiko PS-050 with Fromeco's "Seiko Driver." That servo is a monster, not to mention lightening quick. You didnt see it in the video, but knife edge loops are a breeze.
