Mike we need to go back out and fly it when I installed the firewall I had a little down thrust in it. Now it's where it should of been so lets see how it knife edges. In the Get Er done giant scale section There is a video on the just another extra 260 on a diet on page 67 post number#796. I like this plane a lot flys great and flys light and lands slow. I know there has been some other post on the Pilot Yaks and extra's some don't beleive the weight or flying results some do. As most arf's planes there are good ones and bad ones and some that just need some tweeking to make the fly like you want. As for the Pilot yak in the 50 cc I am very happy I bought it well worth the money the covering was tight out of the box and no need to iron it! I like the fact it comes with all the carbon tubes spinner landing gear that looks awsome by it's self and a carbon tail wheel and the control linkages all ready made up and the pull pull installed already. It goes togeather fast and a DL or a DA 50 will do just fine for power. Tony from Pilot offers the kit in carbon and a MT-57 engine or in the alum version for a lot less. You can get it with the engine or with out in carbon or in alum. If you get one you will not be dissapointed at all. A big plus too you can pay a little more and get Pilot to cover it in your scheme that alone makes it a awsome deal because how many arf's out there can you have your own color or colors done to it before you get it off the shelf.
