Default C-ARF Yak 55 Maiden

Hi

Last saturday our good friend and customer Ricardo "Pestaņa" Alvarez maidened his new C-ARF YAK 55 2.6m. As usuall with most C-ARF airplanes just 2 trim click here and there and now is flying like and arrow !!! This is truly a excellent airplane for IMAC and 3D.

I personally finished the YAK and installed all the hardware, it's really easy to do and there is plenty of room to install the hardware.

This is the list of the equipment:

- DA-100 w/regular muffler
- Smart-Fly Power Expander Sport
- Smart-Fly Super Reg
- Fromeco 2400 mAh Peerless
- Hitec 5945 all around
- Vess 27B prop
- No Limitz 4.5" spinner

Well.... all I can say is.... I want one !!!!!!

Congrat Pestaņas for your new bird, I hope you enjoyed for a long time !!

Regards

Fernando Viollier

You can see Pestaņa's big smile in the pictures, that what I call a happy customer !!!

Just so all you guys know who this guy is.

He is my Vegemite delivery pilot. Ricardo drives Airbus 340's for a hobby and flies RC for a living. Or is that in reverse??? Not sure.

But anyway one of his torturous routes is Santiago Chile to Auckland New Zealand. 13 hours on a good day and 12 hrs 40 minutes of that is over the pond. When he gets that route to drive my vegemite supplies arrive.

Thanks Ricardo and thanks for choosing me as your C-ARF rep. Trust you like the plane judging by that big cheezy smile.
