Re: Extreme Flight Chinn Yak 55sp
I'm looking at possibly getting this plane for my dad and younger bro to fly. They can both fly the trainer fairly well but still working on landing a little bit. I've heard that profiles tuned down a bit can be pretty docile, so would this be a good choice as a plane for them to work with slowly at first but be able to grow with?
Thanks |

Re: Extreme Flight Chinn Yak 55sp
Although it would probably be OK. I would consider the OMP edge 540 arf or the Swany's House Mojo 40 kit better 2nd planes. They are both very tough and with the rates turned down and CG set forward they make great sport flying 2nd planes. They when your Bro and Dad are ready, shift the CG and turn up the rates for 3d training time!

Re: Extreme Flight Chinn Yak 55sp
How do you guys think this will perform with the .55AX OS motor compared to the saito 82? What prop would you recommend?
Thanks LB |

Re: Extreme Flight Chinn Yak 55sp
A 55ax should out pull a saito 82 but I am not sure on the prop.

Re: Extreme Flight Chinn Yak 55sp
I liked the APC 13x4 on the 55.

Re: Extreme Flight Chinn Yak 55sp
Ah good to know then! I don`t have to buy a new motor to get mental performance! I ll try around props though, maybe a 13x4w prop. I don`t know will try what works best for me in that range.
Thanks for the tip! LB |

Re: Extreme Flight Chinn Yak 55sp
Hey guys, just about to order and am wondering if Hitec 5245`s MG are enough for this plane.
THanks LB |

Re: Extreme Flight Chinn Yak 55sp
LeBlanc, I've had at least one with the 5245's. They run well, but not on 6v. Run them on a standard 4.8v pack, or a castle BEC backed off to about 5v and you'll be fine.

Re: Extreme Flight Chinn Yak 55sp
Did you run only 1 5245 in 1 plane or all 5245 in one yak?
Thanks for the info! LB |

Re: Extreme Flight Chinn Yak 55sp
All 5245's in one Yak (4 + futaba 3101).
I've also run that servo setup on the OMP Boxxer as well as a few others. |

Re: Extreme Flight Chinn Yak 55sp
Show, on 6v, the 5245's twitch frequently. Back them down to 4.8v and the twitching goes away. On a profile, that twitching was enough to nearly put me in the ground while 3d'ing. Changing to a 4.8v pack eliminated the problem completely.
