Default Yak 55 3D .50 ARF - United Hobbies

Has anyone seen this? I haven't found any other threads on this particular model, looks like a gem of an ARF - And a slightly different subject to the Extras and Edges in this size category. I figure 1100-1200 Watts should be ample for freestyle flying. Anyone else got an opinion?

Looks good, but I dont like the wing attachment. Where the wing butts to the fuz the fuz is usually slab sided as shown on the green suhkoi. Look at the yellow suhkoi and black yak, they have a round fuz as they should. A fuz is like a womans body, gotta have curves. Straight sides are for extras, edges etc.



edit; It does look nice and round.

I have a saito 91 that I plan to put in this airframe. I fell in love the second I saw it.
