At this point it looks like by the time they get shipped out its more likely that we wont see them until June-
Looks like I may have to look at plan B

No Plan B is to drive to EF's headquarters and camp out on the front lawn until I get my Yak!

It's amazing to see so much loyalty to one supplier when there are so much others good products available and in stock. Personnelly , I would not loose a season waiting for a plane but it's me and i admire those who do that. [sm=thumbup.gif]

The problem is there is nothing out there that compares to this plane in size, wing area, and weight. That is why the 50cc versions sell out almost before they even arrive.

I can understand that-It does suck that there have been so many delays..I have had about 6 EF planes and have flown some other brands but they just don't stack up IMO...so I will wait

I just hope that when they call I can get off from work and head that way. I am going to have to take the trailer to get them becasue I will be picking up two of them. If they get here on time I hope to have mine in the air by the end of May.

Are all of the first shipment already spoken for? I was curious if he might bring some to sell at "3D Unleashed" in High Point NC on June 28th.

maybe someone could help clarify this for me.in my comp arf yak im using a swb cable tray to gang servos for rudder.i was told that when using the method outlined for the ef 110 yak on the slave servo for rudder, you dont need to connect both link arms.one arm is just fine.

I think that one servo connects to the next servo and that servo connects to the arm that pull-pulls the rudder. The system will work if one servo fails or only one is hooked up but you won't get the effect of both servos that way, it's just a setup that allows it to work if only one servo is operational.

i fully understand how the set up works.let me explain my question better.on the slave servo on the ganged rudder servos.is it needed to run 2 links off the servo arm of the slave servo to the main servo with the 4 inch of set witch the pull/pull cables are attached to.you would think that 2 links of the servo arm to the othe servo arm isnt needed.just one link

No wheel pants. It has spats. I am pretty sure that you can 4.5" tire with no mods. If you use a 5" tire I think that you will have to trim the spats just a little.

They should be getting really close. Any word on these planes yet. Is anyone getting video of these planes at Joe Nall?

pfoot7487 congradulations on the wedding. I was going to go to Nall but work has me a little vogged down right now and the timing was just bad.
I am with you on the 1-2 weeks. I think that we may be building us a few Yaks around Memorial Day. I actually get that day off so that gives me an extra building day.

I look forward to seeing your build along with others. I know you will be flying yours long before me as I still have no engine for it. I'm sure when it's sitting on my workbench that will motivate me to gets all the parts to get it in the air. I hope we get to see Chris's original scheme w/ 85 & Greeve's pipe flying in the next couple days. I still think I'm going new DA-100 on stock mufflers though?

You guys, who already have got your plane, did you got the manual with it? I didn't. I have asked it couple of times already from EF and FS-RC, but still haven't got it. For some strange reason the manual is not in the EF internet pages. Do you know if the manual is available from some internet page?

Well have made some progress over the last few days, not as much as I would have liked but the weather has been great here in the UK so I have been flying my 50cc YAK!! Have the servos in the wings & stabs, engine in with the cannisters and just mounted the rudder and cowl. Here are a few pics.
