Default QQ 120" Yak Performance

I saw a 120" QQ Yak fly today. The plane was powered by a DA-150 using standard mufflers. The "Kimball" scheme looked great and highly visible, even when way out.

The plane had unlimited vertical -- it would do multiple snaps on a vertical and would have gone out of sight. (I thought you would need tuned pipes to get this level of performance!) To me, this means I could save the cost of the pipes and still have the unlimited performance I want.

If I can figure out a way to transport the big Yak, Santa may bring one to my house.

Default Re: QQ 120" Yak Performance

Im running on mine on 150 with std muffs and really like it. No prob with vertical (at normal altitudes).
Having trouble with blow overs (slow), other than that this is a great plane for me.
Everything else is neutral and needs no mixing. I would definitely recommend it!!!
