Default Pilot-Rc 30% Yak thread.....Build, questions, pics

This thing is gonna be sweet. I had submitted my design for the plane a while back, and Tony is ready to build it soon. He said he will get me some pics from China, so I thought It would be cool to post them before I get the plane to see the covering process

After going back and forth between this and a few other considerations....this is why I pulled the trigger on this plane. The Extreme flight, and 3dh Slick were the other top shelf contenders

-It is sized like a 50cc plane. The Extreme flight is huge, so is the 3dh as big as my old 33%! I already have a 100cc, and the whole reason for me getting a 50cc in I can lock it in my topper without pulling the stabs, bash around on the jobsite or mx track, or cruise to the field no trailer.
-At my altitude, the 3dh and ef would have weight issues using a 50cc on stock muffler and I want to keep it simple. The pilots build really light
-I am a picky mofo as far as blems, and the Pilot I already have was perfect out of the crate! The EF I have is also perfect, a reason why it was also a consideration. I've had other high end ARFs with construction blems out of the box that just tweaked me out
-Custom sceme..........sweet!

Anyways.....my setup will be

5955's A&E
7955 R
Whatever T
A9000
2 x 1100 A123 rx, Ign y off rx batt
Optical kill
DL55 stock mufflers


Late.......871

Ordered the Russian Thunder scheme today! Planning on this being a back-up airframe for now incase my wh Edge bites it.... But I'll probably piece it together little by little until I have my second gasser going!

Holy crap! Looks like they cut wood templates. Wonder if they keep all the templates incase someone calls and wants a scheme just like one they saw online or at the field etc....????
Got my tracking number from TBM today.... I should be YAK'n this coming Tuesday! Even though I won't be throwing mine in the air any time soon I'm still excited to get it into my grubby hands.

Show you are going to love the 30% Yak. I know I am liking mine more and more every flight. I had to move the C G back just a little and 1 deg up thrust in the engine and now it's dead on. Hope you get yours soon.
