Default Re: Extreme Flight RC Yak54E
Just got mine and it's together, just waiting on some 4s Extremes and then I can give you a flight report and some video. Well constructed plane. Mine had a few minor hardware issues, but otherwise looks like a winner. Flight testing will tell, but if it flies like the video, should be a keeper. Doesn't have that "don't grab it in the wrong spot" feel like some lite 3D planes do. Very solid laser work and love the recessed wing mount. Lot stronger than just hanging the wing on a tube and hoping for the best. Recommended power plant has the juice too! Tested quickly with a Prolite 4s pack and it honks! About 576 watts, so power won't be an issue. No hovering at 3/4 throttle I bet! Don't see many planes this size and quality out there except maybe the new Andrew Jesky Extra 300 from Fliton. Looking at that one too!

I've only seen one so far, but will get a chance to fly it this weekend. Will be helping Fred Midgett for a video.

It looks right! Built well and light weight. Looking forward to getting my hands on the transmitter.

Z-Bends and P-rod connectors huh, Wayne? My kind of setup! Be careful when you put mine in the Challenger on the way home from Atlanta. Strap it down so it doesn't break on landing. I wouldn't worry, but I've heard you let the plane land itself...

It will be fine.
I am not flying on the way home. Just sitting in the right seat throwing gear and talking on the radio.
