I have the 150cc with the graphics package. Quality of the kit and the vinyl is excellent. I'm sure it is the same on the 100cc. I have actually seen the 100cc in person with the graphics at AW's shop. New 100cc and 150cc Yak color schemes |

| Re: Star and Stripes 100cc Yak 54
Jdearduff, I have my 100cc YAK sitting in the corner with all the gear needed and will probably start my build next week  . Let me know what you end up with concerning the decals. I know Aeroworks has a set for this plane as well as Bad Brad Graphics. I kind of like the Bad Brad set better and it's $40 cheaper. I have his graphics set on my AW 100cc Extra 260 and they are holding up very well and look great .Skip |

I have used Bad Brad for all of my planes. He does great work. I am not sure if I like the setup he has for this plane. And I am having trouble coming up with my own thing. I had planed on using the Aeroworks vinyl but they will not have any for a month or so. Dennis Kirby is working on something for me right now.

| Re: Star and Stripes 100cc Yak 54
Man those graphics are awsome ! Looks like they came up with a sweet package for you. I'm in the finishing stages with mine, got the engine mounted up today and programmed all of the servos in the wings and stabs last night. It won't be long now Did you have any issues cutting those louvers in the bottom of the cowl? What method did you use to cut them out with? Let me know how your maiden flight turns out, I noticed how much thicker the wings are compared to my AW 260 and I'm just curious how different it flys.

| Re: Star and Stripes 100cc Yak 54
I flew the plane a couple of weeks ago. The plane flys great. This is my second one and this one is the best of the two. Only had to add a couple of clicks of down and she flys perfect so far. As far as the louvers go I just use the templets they give and a sharpe. Then a Dremel tool. Real easy. I have never flown a 260, but with this fat wing the Yak is a real floater.
