Beware man, you are addicted already you just don't know it. Once you move in to the gassers you won't stop until you have a 40%. Welcome to the gas world, you will love how much easier things are over glow.

Hey Mike, thanks for driving up and picking up the plane. I hope that you enjoy it and have a great time with it, and glad it went to someone we know.

It was Brendans first plane for IMAC, he got it for Christmas in 2005. Wayne Geffon and Mike McConville came down and spent the the day flying here with us on Brendans birthday in Sept of 2005, Mike gave Bren his solo flight that day.

Brendan wanted to fly like Mike and Wayne after seeing them fly all day, sooo he got the Yak for Christmas to try to compete with in 2006.

I took Bren and went to Clinton Indiana and met Mike there, the plane had never been flown and Bren had never flown a sequence. Mike flew with Bren all weekend and Bren ended up winning the contest, so it was pretty neat.

Went to Springfield in Sept of 2006 and Bren moved up and flew in the Sportsman class with Mike and Wayne both flying with him that weekend where he finished in 3rd place.

He flew this year flying Mikes 35% 260 and has done all he did this year.

Glad you got it Mike. When you get it ready we can come down for a day and fly with ya and help if needed.

yup will do. i just notice the tail gear is a bit soft haha, do you remember if that was the tail gear withthe kit or after market.. icant find any set up with the wire control anywhere.. if i have to ill put a pull pull to the rudder control horn , but this is a simple fix haha, cant wait to see this thing in the air! i should took a pick of how tight the fit was inthe jeep.. weeeeeeew

[Dan_nO]

Its all original hardware that came with the plane. Yea that was a tight fit in the jeep.
