Re: OMP Yak 55
It must be insane with the 120. I just got home from flying. It is a very nice bird indeed. Flight characteristics are very good with only a hair of coupling to elevator in KE. Landing speed is so slow it awed everyone there. With all that wing area it just hangs in the air. It is a little slower on the top end than I expected, but I do not have the engine dialled right in yet either. I still have to baffle the front of the cowl. As expected it changes tune in flight due to cowl effect, once baffled I will be able to dial it right in. The engine is brand new so no need to make it squeal right away. Not that I am running pig rich either.... Overall I must say I am very pleased with how it flys. Over the winter I will most likely buy some matching covering and go over all of the edges and fix it up. The factory trimmed all of the plane too short. Like the wing openings there is no covering folded over into the opening. It is just cut off right at the edge and I am afraid it will lift over time. No biggie just something that needs to be done.

Re: OMP Yak 55
Mine probably weighs a tad bit more due to I had a dead stick because of a fuel tank issue in a harrier and it smashed the ground and broke the carbon gear. It also it just right to make a small hair line crack in the engine box. So we used some wood to double up the engine box. This was before I got the 120. I really want to weigh mine as soon as I can get a hold of the scale. The 120 is a light motor. I know it saved me 2.5lbs when i went from the 3w100 to the da-120
