 |  KMP Yak
Anybody know anything about the KMP 87" Yak? I know it is no longer in production. What kind of reviews did it get? Anyone out there have one?

HOWDY KARL! WHICH CLUB DO YOU BELONG TO IN BOISE? MY FAMILY AND I WILL BE MOVING TO MERIDIAN NEXT FRIDAY THE SECOND. ( IF I QUIT PLAYING WITH THE AIRPLANES AND START PACKING  ) I HAVE HAD THE KMP YAK 54 FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW AND IT IS THE MOST FUN I HAVE HAD IN 26 YEARS OF FLYING. IT WAS CHEAP, STRAIGHT, AND LUCKY FOR ME THIS ONE WAS LIGHT!! 16.5 LBS W/ZDZ 50 AND STOCK GEAR. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I KNOW WHO BOUGHT ONE I TOO DID A FAIR AMOUNT OF GLUEING AND RECOVERING. ( I ONLY TOOK THE COVERING OFF THE BOTTOM AND DID ALL THE GLUEING FROM THERE) LET ME KNOW WHICH CLUB YOU BELONG TO. I HAVE VISITED BOTH AND HAVE TO SAY EVERYONE IS VERY COOL AT BOTH. I READ RECENTLY TRHAT BOISE WAS REDOING THEIR RUNWAY. IS IT DONE YET? HERE ARE SOME PICS.

| Re: KMP Yak
nose heavy?!?! I wish I had that problem. I have a 4800 and a 2400 Fromoco batterys, ignition box and anything else I could bolt up front in the motor box... and mine is still tail heavy. I REALLY had to put 3 cresent wrenches velcroed in place on the motor box to get it to fly nicely today. I think I'm going to space the motor about 3/4 inch forward and see if I can't get this plane to CG properly! But still a great plane for the loot!

I fly with BARKS (Boise Area Radio Kontrol Society), would love to have you join. There are several good clubs and fields to fly at here. There are more guys flying the bigger gassers at the Nampa club. Thanks for the info on the Yak. Look me up when you get to town.

BTW, Doorguy1, if you like to golf you may want to know that the Nampa clubs field sits right on the edge of a golf course. You can literally walk over to some of the greens.
