Default NEW shock flyer YAK 54 video(INDOORS).
I flew my new shock flyer yak 54 indoors today, and it was awsome! I couldn't get too much on tape(i was out of video space). But atleast i got some. This has got to be one of my favorite foamies i've flown! BEST Shocky! I was using a tanic taps 3 cell 840mAh lipo, and it was too heavy for it, so i tried a 3 cell 400mAh lipo, and the plane flew ALOT differently(lighter)! In the video i was using the heavier battery, but when i changed it to the 400mAh lipo, the rolls were ALOT more crist, and smooth! So i will have to start to use the 400mAh's from now...

SPECS:
Shock Flyer yak 54
Hacker a20-34s
Castle Creations 10a ESC
GWS 8X6 prop
GWS 4channel reciver
Tanic Taps 3-cell 840mAh lipo

Thanks guys. I didn't think that the 400mah 3 cell would make this plane fly so much better than it did with the 3 cell 840mah! Too bad i didn't get a video of it while i was flying it on the 400mAh...

Ron- We had this camera for about 5 years, but never used it, because i was too lazy to install a fire wire outlet in my PC, but i did durring thanksgiving, and i thought i would give it a shot. It turned out pretty good, atleast compared to my digital camera
