I had the YAK a couple of years ago, for a short time when they first came out. It flew fine for the few flights I got on it. The aluminum wing tube failed on it's third day during a snap. Wings went South, plane went North. I have heard that this was not uncommon on the first release of this plane. I understand that they have made some changes to deal with this issue. The owner of RC League said they would send a replacement plane once they found new distribution in the U.S.. Never got the replacement.
