Default 37.5% Aviation Models Yak

Well we had a great day up in Redding yesterday and while we were up there tailchaser brought out his new 37.5% Yak from Aviation Models. The plane performed awesome and everything went smooth. We actually had 3 of the Aviation Models planes up there. I included a shot of them all. 37.5% Yak, 35% giles 202, and 35% Yak. Thought everyone might like to see some pictures since the plane is new and there is not a lot of info on the net yet. Hope you enjoy!
Garrett Morrison

Not sure exactly what this one came out at. He had a power expander and aftermarket servo tray in the plane so that would be the only additional weight. The plane flew very well and had lots of extra power. 8000 feet is way up there though. This plane could be built in the 38 lbs range.

Yes the next batch will ship out after we get back from China next week. The cowl has been flared just a tad on the sides to allow the DA 150 to fit. It will be a direct bolt on and anyone that wants a replacment can have one. I'm sure Sammy can put your name on one if you give him a call.

Nice pictures Garrett, now I have to fix my pilot as you tried to throw his butt out of the plane, talk about wicked snaps!
And Josh, your welcome back any time, you were really rippin it up out there, and we all enjoyed the show,(Watch out for this guy, he's got wicked skills and more balls than brains..... )
And I finally got to fly my 37.5% yak and all I can say is WOW, This thing is way better than we all expected, we knew it was going too be good but,it exceeded all expectations, It flys big, but handles like a 35% only better, if that's possible.
I felt comfortable with it almost immediately, and can't wait to get it in the air again.
Thanks Garrett, Josh, and especially Tory for the scenery.............I"ve seen the mountains before........

Oh ya forgot about the pilot. Well I did not want you to go home with nothing to do! Man the plane was sure put through the paces for a first day of flying. Make sure everything is still tight and held up. We had a great time up there wish I could have stayed longer. Better get her name right bud "Tori" or she might whoop your butt

Oops!, sorry Tori, but remember what I said, Do not order a hot dog while your in China, no matter what Sammy tells you. Best to stay a vegetarian till you get back............I ate what!!!
Just kidding Sammy, you guys have a great time in China and tell Sammy to grade that field some!
See you all when you get back, and remember to bring me something from China.........you know,......with wings!..............No not that bird flu either!
