Re: BME 50cc Yak?
Ive also had two, lost one to radio and one to being stupid. Ownership of the company did change hands, and that is a goodf thing for us, it was very hard to resolve some issues with the first one. Getting a new fuse because of a crooked vertical stab for the second one was an easy process. They do fly well, couldn't tell you weight, but guessing 17 with Nimh. The hardware is pretty nice, but the threaded rod for the surfaces bends easy. There was hardly any coupling, it did rock somewhat in a harrier. Its nice that it has a wing area that is on the large side for a 50cc so it feels pretty light in the air. I would say go for it. The only other issue I know of, hopefully fixed by now is that the first ones the fiberglass gear had manufacturing defects, ie large holes at crucial areas, like the shoulder bend. These were filled in with some sort of filler before the paint, so you could not tell. First landing both gears gave, not a tough landing either. They didnt brake just cracked, so plane was not hurt. What sucks about this possible problem is that you just dont know until you try it.
