Default Re: Lanier 94" Yak ???

I have one, have been flying the carp out of it and love it. After the second flight it has not come off of high rates on the controls, it is very axial in the air and responds like a foamy. Mine came out very lite in the 20# range and doesn't like to land because it is so lite, it has a ZDZ Super 80 on it and that is more than enough for it. The only things you need to toss in your extras box and put different on is the wheels (all 3) the tail wheel is too soft needs a higher quality one, the mains will come apart at about flight 6 and if you don't notice break your wheel pants. I pit a Ohio Superstar medium tail wheel on mine which steers much better too than the stock, and a pair of micro lite stiff foam in the mains and the plane rolls much better.
For set up I have 2 5955s on the rudder mounted in the tail, and the rest are 5997s which is more than enough, I mounted the throttle and choke servos by the tank and tried to put as much of the weight on the thrust line (batteries etc.) where the plane would be real axial in the air which I seceded at because it knife edges with no elevator impute. I guess I got the weight right because it is hands off both upright and inverted but not heavy in the tail where the tail drops on landing (It will harrier land real well too). You will enjoy it when you get it done, I am already getting it on the deck because it is rock solid in a harrier and hover and anything you do at low speed.
