This is exactly why Black Bird posted the way he did  .
Do you own an EF Yak?
Have you personally flown an EF Yak?
Do you own a Lanier Edge?
Have you personally flown a Lanier Edge?
Have you built a sub 20 lb 35%???
Do you know what it takes to make a 103" WS airframe that normally weighs 28 lbs come in at sub 20 lbs RTF with battery?
My point in doing this is that I'm speaking from experience. But if you think you already know everything, then so be it.
At the very least, if you're going to make strong point, make sure your spelling is correct. That alone can speak volumes. |

Again with the personal insults. Why can't you guys have a discussion based on the facts and not get into this sort of crap. It does not help. SP said nothing that was not correct. Yes I can answer yes to all of those questions up there except the lanier edge one. I have had similar planes to it though.
The extreme flight Yak is 88". Two inches bigger than the edge in question. It is sold as a 50CC. In the tech info it say 50 to 60 CC. My avatar has an 87" wingspan and a 50Cc engine. It weighs 16.5 pounds and flies like a dream. You can see it is close to the ground at 1/2 throttle. When I go to full throttle it will accelerate like nobody's business. I do have experience and I can fly on top of that.
You built your plane light for a reason. You should be giving advice on how to keep his plane light. In my opinion it will be better to keep this plane light than it will be to over power it. It has been my experience that you get a better flying plane when you keep it light rather than add weight and power.
Please stop the attacks they are unwarranted. If you don't like someones opinion, then don't listen, but when you stray from the subject and attack the messenger: that speaks volumes.
