hey guys,
Wow this is a very nice looking plane!
When I saw that this was for .90 to 1.20 size I was sure this was a misprint. Well looks like I was wrong. I really want one now and can't wait to them here!
Mark in your first shipement, will there be some going to great hobbies in Canada alberta? Is easier for me to buy my planes through them.
Also what do you guys think of power to weight with the evolution 26 in the nose of this plane? I see that the OS 1.20 is rated for 3.1HP and the evo26 3.8, although I know readings are often wrong, please let me know what you think. I don't really want to go glow because of the price of glow fuel, I am going to be flying this one alot.
Thanks again.

Mark,
I sent an e-mail to support Thursday 2/15 asking a couple of questions about the plane. Should I wait longer for a response, or post the questions here? Thanks....

RE: Introducing the new 90-1.20 Yak QB
Mark,
I have followed the thread on the 50CC Yak since the beginning and have the following questions about this model.
1) There were many comments about the 50CC plane coming in heavier than the advertised weight. I understand about the variables involved with the wood selection and humidity. Your comments please on your feelings about a YS 110 FZ on this model, especially if the actual weight comes in about a pound heavier that advertised.
2) Were the problems discovered in the 50CC plane such as the covering seam problem, landing gear block breaking loose etc, that were later rectified and handled in the later productions runs been addressed into the design of this model?
3) As a matter of personal preference, can the end user without a major problem change the single control horn setup to duals like those on the 50CC model or use the Dubro 6/32" capscrew type horns?
4) Lastly, when do you expect delivery, to start shipping and what will the shipping costs be in the lower 48?
This is an expensive model for the size, so please do not construe my questions as being on the negative as I wish to purchase the best. Thank you guys for bringing some innovative products to market.

2. Yes all of the issues we addresses on the 50cc have been taken care of on this model along with all of the other Aeroworks planes.
3. You could use the double truss style horn without issue, but just as a side not the included horns work great for this model and help save a little weight.
4. We expect these around late march the shipping prices have not yet been set.
No problem on all of the questions, let me know if you have any more.

Mark,
Thanks I'm going to give her a try. What's the best way to sign up for the list or to call and get on it?

RE: Introducing the new 90-1.20 Yak QB
Mark,
E-mail with contact info sent this morning . Can you kindly have someone confirm receipt on the pre-order?
Tough to tell from the photos and instruction manual, but looks like I'll need a larger fuel tank to feed the YS.
(1) Can you recommend what size Tettra or Hayes (over 16oz) may fit without major modification and will I be able to move the tank back closer to the wingtube as well?
(2) Where does a good spot look to mount a couple of Madison 1/4 turn fuel dots?
(3) Might have missed in the photos or instruction manual where the switch cutouts are located. Can you help with that? I use the larger HD JR or Electrodynamics charge port switches.
Thanks for the assistance

RE: Introducing the new 90-1.20 Yak QB
Hi,
I am in the market for this Yak but why does it need 8 channels? 2 for the elevators, 2 for the ailerons or do they have 2 per aileron? Rudder and throttle? Is the plane that big to warrant double aileron servos? I want to use the YS 140FZ the older design will this be OK? What is the availability on the plane - when will it be in stock to ship?
Just need some basic info on the plane.
Thanks

RE: Introducing the new 90-1.20 Yak QB
Hi Mark,
I'm trying to decide on which yak to put my evolution 26 gt gasser in. Its going to be between your company or Quique's aircraft yak 54. Your Yak looks a lot better and I am very interested but I can't seem to find any information on this combo anyware. I found a lot of video and information on Quique's Yak 54 and I really like the performance but I don't like the way it looks. Do you have any idea what the overall weight would be with the gt 26 on your plane and wing loading? Help me decide. Thanks

RE: Introducing the new 90-1.20 Yak QB
hey there, how are ya? I ordered one of these awhile back and was wondering , do they charge my card right away or do they wait till the yaks get here? I want to make sure I have enough money in the bank when they charge my debit.
I am planning on using either YS 110 or YS 140 do you think it would be worth the weight penalty to go with the 140 or would the 110 be plenty of power? I realize it's all a matter of opinion but I'd like some input before I order an engine. thanks alot!

RE: Introducing the new 90-1.20 Yak QB
We do not charge the cards until the planes are in and after we have called the customers to confirm that you still want the plane. As for the 1.10 vs the 1.40 I would go with the 1.10 and keep the plane light, the power at 6000'asl with on OS 1.20 two stroke was ballistic and I'm sure you would get the same performance with the 1.10 at sealevel and be on the light side which is always better.

RE: Introducing the new 90-1.20 Yak QB
I would guess no. I have a saito 125 on a Funtana 100 and vertical is good but not unlimited.. The Yak is going to be bigger, and weight about half a pound more...
Shame though i would've loved to strip my funtana and throw it in this new yak...
Can't wait for flight reports...
