What you need to understand about our hobby. Most of todays RCer's would not even now were to start or have the skills to build a great flying plane. We have become a User Nation BUY it, USE it up, Throw it away and buy a new one |

So, after I was encouraged and built just one kit profile, do you know what my next plane was? An EE60 that had been built to ARF stage...! Last summer I built 1 kit (a Backslider/Frisbee 47" Yak profile) and bought 3 other planes... A RTF Mojo60, an assembled but not stuffed ValueHobby Yak55, and an old AeroWorks 80" Profile Extra. When I build less than 15% of the planes I fly, how can you possibly fathom that I don't like ARFs of any kind??? What's all this ramble about? I DO NOT LIKE THE CONSTRUCTION OR QUALITY OF THE MODEL THAT THIS THREAD IS INQUIRING ABOUT. I HAVE made numerous suggestions to the manufacturer, and in several generations of release and re-release, I have yet to see many improvements. There are a number of great profiles out there to fly... the vast majority are kits or plans to build from, a few are available as ARFs today, and, if you know where to look you can find a number of kit built to ARF stage if you don't want to do the framing and covering yourself. The Aerobeez 65" Yak 20cc Profile is not one of those... -Case |

Believe me, it's 100% pure entertainment value!
I find it hilarious that I'm ridiculed for my opinions and statements of fact, while others can have the same opinion and state the same facts without contest. I had honestly thought the thread died with my last post 3 weeks ago, but someone either thinks their head is harder than mine to keep butting up against, or has a financial interest in Aerobeez and can't let a negative be the last word... All in good fun while it's too rainy to fly and my workbench is too covered in Christmas wrapping paper to build... -Case |

One more time...a review: OP asked for opinions of this model. I gave mine. Other posters made personal attacks, so I posted facts to explain the basis for my opinion. Other posters made more personal attacks, AND a good number of folks posted the same negative facts about their experiences with this model. Now we're down to several folks who have had negative experiences with this model, and one or two fans who don't post much fact, but just seem to want to keep telling me I'm wrong for the negative experience I've had. Jerry, this has nothing to do with the Mojo, or any other profile - kit or ARF. I found many quality issues with the Aerobeez product. I like to get out there and fly as much as the next guy, and usually only take the time to build something during rainy season when there is no flying. My point is not that ARFs are bad, my point is that THIS ARF is bad. -Case |

Case, sorry to here you had such a bad experience with this one arf profile, They will take anything you can dish out .They are not a bad Arf. They may not be #1 but they are not at the bottom either. There are just as many people out there that love the way This one flies. Like I said earlier they do have some issue's with certain items but they all have some issue's. I believe you have stressed your opinion here about, this one ARF you purchased at a swap meet more than anyone here get over it. There are many people here that like this arf, you so adamanitly hate. Have a good day.
Here is a short video of how I like to take off with my AERO-BEEZ Yak 20cc

These Aerobeez arf profiles are a great profile. Even more than the guys on this thread are giving credit for. It has nothing to do with fan boys. It has to do with who is having fun with a plane and who is not.
Fact of the matter is, a profile is not the strongest construction out there. But it is strong enough to last a long time. There is nothing wrong with the amount of glue or design. It doesnt take much to hold these things together. When it comes down to it, it is user error. You have to ballance props for one. And a engine that is not tuned properly will cause excessive vibration. It dont matter if its a 100cc 35% yak or a yak profile, excessive vibration will wear out a plane very fast. You guys that are whining about a profile need to realize that profile's are a care free plane. Beat on em and throw them away. Like i was told when I started flying, Dont worry about it. They make more. But man are they fun... |

I'm sure the plane flies very well... My issues are with the quality of the ARF, general construction, and covering job - all of which lead to extra work needed BEFORE the thing will be ready to fly. I know plenty of folks who just love the way a Pizza Box flies. That doesn't automatically make Domino's a decent ARF manufacturer! Wrong again. Re-read. I said I bought one, and after seeing the low-quality presentation I decided to DUMP it at a swap meet. Side note: the guy from Wenatchee who bought it told me he hates it too! Quote:

My experience with the Aerobeez 65" Yak 20cc Profile is that it takes longer to fix the manufacturing defects to make the airframe ready to fly than it would take to build one of the tested and proven profile kits available today. -Case |

My front end fell off because I abused the airframe due to one dead stick after another. I flattened the landing gear 4 times before the front end had enough. It would not just have fell off. Never actually meant my original comment as a negative towards this airframe. Lol.
I had added tristock and fibreglassed the engine mount from the get go, this part NEVER failed on the two of these profiles I had. Did not realise my original comment would be twisted so much to suit one guys crusade. If ANY full body arf I had went through the abuse my deadstick landings had caused the airframe would have been ready for the bin after the first 15 foot hover deadstick. I do agree that this profile cannot be anywhere near as strong as a kit built profile, and has less wing than most BUT it is a GREAT flying plane. I can knife edge circuit with it because it has zero coupling and it flys so slow im using it to learn rolling circuits. If the china man would listen and add a bit carbon tube and a slightly bigger wing I would buy another two in a heart beat. |
