Hi guys
After having the chance to fly Ivo's Yak 55 at the German Acromasters last September I was definitely into having this airplane(+crashing my 39% Katana while practicing to the same competition),it was the most dominant airplane on this event ,I attached few pictures from there.

Few days ago a big box with my Krill made Yak 55M,I thought shering you guys with the quick build I intend to do on this plane,hope you like it.
some pictuers first,the colors are the same as my last katana (razor edge red) but with a new pattern on the airplane,got some help in choosing and making it from Ivo Krill,I really like the red and white colors since I live practice in the south of Israel where it looks like a desert and the red color really stands out.

ido its about time for a build thred from you cant wait

so whats the setup for this thing a DA 170 by any chance

I really enjoyed flying the Yak 55,great plane...Enjoy your new toy

subcribed Nice plane, awaiting more info

Hey my dear friend across the pond, I will be watching the build closely! It is sad that you lost the Katana, I enjoyed flying it SO much, but I am glad that you will now have an even better plane! Have fun with the build! Can't wait to see more pics. Ido, did you get the paint scheme that I e-mailed you? Let me know. Thanks buddy, Daniel

PS: For everyone who read Ido's first post, the crash of his Katana wasn't his fault. He had a deadstick on a low verticle upline.

Looks like the practice line up on Thursday at an Ocala Florida IMAC contest

Congratulations Ido, we are currently building our second krill 55m , ( JR scheme), will post photos as we go. ....

some photos of our other 55,

looks great loike the design and color choice.

Danny

Subscribed, really like the scheme

Thanks guys
well...starting with the wing an stabs,this airplane builds up fast!!!
used regular 5 minute epoxy to glue the horns in and a second small amount of apoxy mixed with colors to match the surfece of the airplane.

Loolin' great buddy! Keep it up!

I see that they have done more work on the plane than before...slots for the control horns pre-cut, blind nuts installed for the cowl (cowl mounted?)

Also - are the Yaks over there coming out tail heavy, as they reported to over here in the states - and if so, how much weight is being added to the nose to bring the CG into position for IMAC (pattern) work?

Plane looks great!!!! I am waiting for the Su-29 to be completed!

Hey Joe
how are you sir?

yes,you right - most of the hard work is already done for you - making the building much more fun

the yak is indeed coming Tail heavy, the yak have extremely long tail.
its preatty easy to fix - just bulid the all airplane with thought to put the equipment as far to the nose as you can.
