I have a Yak, too. I haven't started on it yet until I get a motor system. I also have the Edge 540 and my buddy has the new Extra 300. I have been flying the Double-X Bipe for a little while and my buddy 'had' his first Extra until a co-worker re-kitted it.

Mike does an awesome job at engineering and CNC cutting these.

I have both the 260 and the yak, I am not sure what to use for a motor, so I am turning to those that have them. What are you running for power?

Most foamies fly good 3D. Some are even great at 3D. But I saw this foamie do something I had never seen another do. That is fly the unlumited sequence outdoors.

It was incredible to watch. I even gave it a shot myself and I didnt do to bad considering I only fly sportman.
This foamie snaps so clean it is just incredible. Stops right where you want it.
3D is sweet with it as well. I let Ryan Archer fly mine at Chula Vista and he really put on a show with it. Really impressive.

Mine is set up with a Dualsky XM-2830 ca-10 and a APC 9x4.7 on TP 1360 3cell lithium.
Also, for precision I'm using the HS-65 on the elevator and 55's everywhere else.

Anybody have an AXI on this plane? Which model works best?

I would say a 2208-34 with a 10x3.8SF prop would be a great setup.
