Default SD Models 37.5% Yak-54

I'm thinking about buying an SD Models 37.5% Yak. If you have flown one, what did you think? How does it fly compared to a QQ 102" Yak? Also, what did you think of the quality/assemby etc.?

I want to put the new DA 170 on the SD Yak and I may buy the QQ 102" Yak to fly until the new DA is available.

I love my 37.5% Yak. Here is a video of might right around flight 4 or 5 from back in the spring of 2006... DA150 for power on MTW cans.

Hey tank, I heard you killed the imac stuff with that yak last year. Stork I have the 33% and from the qaulity of it I can only imagine the 37. Anything that comes out of sd is the best of the best. The qq yak is deffinetly the absolute best 100cc plane out there in my opinion. Look how many people fly it in huge comps. If you have the money to buy that plane and finish it before the 170 then go for it. I am sure it will be awsome. I couldnt say how it compares to the 37 but I think bigger is better and many agree.

I am extremely happy with mine, in fact I have another one on the way.
Check out my video of the Yak.

A 150 is just fine on this airplane. Although a 170 could be in its future!
