Re: finished YAK 54
No, im not using the same control rod settings. I think the motor mount is from ply, but not sure.

Re: finished YAK 54
I did the maiden flight yesterday and this plane flys great, it hovers and gets locked in one till the pack gives up.

Re: finished YAK 54
I'm not sure if they ship it there or not but you can email them and ask, and they will reply in about 3 days max! The rods im using are wire for ailerons, and 2 sets of shock flyer rods and horns for elevator and rudder. What i did on the aileron wires is i bought wire for like $1.65 and it came with a whole bunch in a tube from my local hobby shop. I did a z-bend on one end of the ailerons and a micro ez-link on the other side. For the rudder and elevator you could buy carbon fiber rods and do the same thing if you dont have any rods saved from a previous crashed shock flyer.
hope this helps.

Re: finished YAK 54
It handels wind very good. I was at the field a couple of weeks ago, and it was so windy that i was hovering when the plane was horizontal!!!!! But be sure that you put the kevlar threads on there for SURE! If you dont put kevlar, it probably wont fly as good in winds because it will flex, and have alot of tail twist wo put the kevlar brasing system on!
