Nice plane but the color selection sucks. Might want to wait for the next color schemes or try to get a white one and paint it yourself. I have a 2.6m and I notice that it takes 4 more hours to complete the 2.1 than it does the 2.6

Set it on the wing tube and adjust according to your taste. It flies very nicely. We have had ours flying since Nov. 08 and very happy with it aside from the horribly crappy landing gear mounting. It will not take to many bad landings and you will then be rebuilding it. If anything, err on the nosehevy side to start with, that way, your landing will be a bit easier and not have a tendency to stall just before landing touchdown. |

I have been flying the Yak since Aug 2008 and it flies well. However, the landing gear is really really stiff and the fastening will crack if you are flying on a "bumpy" grass field even if you are doing rather good landings. Put the CG at the front mark, a little nos heavy, as previous recommended. This will make the landings a little easier especially if you have a head wind, the Yak is floating out like a foamy at the landings. |
