could I be honest? did you see all the flights? do you think the ranking is real? american are so far from us, they do honestly. it was just a celebration of krill. when you will see all the video I believe you will agree with me.

JVDO · 08-28-2007, 05:04 PM

I think the judges were good!!!

And they don't have to do it to have krill's in final because almost everybody was flying krill :-)

Only strange that alex and fabien had much more points on saturday

Also to add, the Yak is based off of Gerhard Bruckman's (Gernot's father) Yak 55. Ivo Krill made changes to the model regarding wing platform, airfoil, etc. The model Mark flew was the first prototype. It features a "floating Spar" like the Katana, but is rather unique as it has a removable motor box. Anyhow, the specs on the Yak are as follows: Wing Span: 2.94 m Fuselage Length: 2.74 m Weight:36.8 lbs Engine: DA 150 cc Muffler System: KS Canisters Let me know if you guys have any other questions regarding the Yak. Also to add, there will be one in Tucson for everyone to see. Best Regards, JPG

I have for 10 years suspected this plane would be a great model. Though not the prettiest girl in the pageant, it has the redeeming qualities of being a near perfect inline configuration. It has a long tail, but with large flippers and a subfin to further balance the model aerodynamically. It has a shallow fuselage aft of the canopy, (Further enhancing rudder authority by eliminating stabilizing vertical area in the aft regions).... and all of this is right off the real plane. Very little encroachment on the "10 Percent Rule" is required... it is just naturally a good planform for a model.... and even the real plane was built with two different wings (of different taper ratios)...

I am curious to know if my thoughts are evident on the model... this is one model I may need to save my nickles for!!!

thanks again!

Ahoj Everyone,

Here are a few pictures of the event, practice, etc, however, due to the size of the photos, I must post them in separate posts...

The first post is of the Yak 55M (right after it was completed). The second photo is a priceless photo of Mark using the PowerBox System
