    Status: offline     		That's right... why would Chris "proudly announce" to the U.K. and not have anything to show on his site?

    Rumors and rumors of rumors... and someone wants to drive traffic to their site... and the "news" is quite old since Chris has been back from China for sometime now...

    Conjecture and rumors...

    Of course there could be some grain of truth that sparked the "news"... wonder what it was...

    Wasn't it very obvious to you that it would be a scaled up version of the 45" electric extra (Of course designed for gas).
    And an 88" Yak doesn't surprise me either and I won't be shocked if it has some features of the new "Somenized" Yak i.e. foam free etc.

    I am not implying ANYTHING here. Chris is not copying designs from anyone or vice-versa (He doesn't need to).

    In any case, my bonus will pay for both the new 50cc's hehahahahaha {EVIL LAUGH}

    Status: offline     		OK, enough rumors and speculation! Here is the lowdown, in the order we will receive them:
    45" Edge 540T, for the same power system as the 45" Extra 300.
    88" Yak-54, totaly new design from Mike Hall, very scale in appearance, HUGE for a 50cc plane but still very light. Definiftely an improvement over the 87" Yak, and that is saying a lot!
    88.5" Extra 300, based on the 45" version, again HUGE for a 50cc plane but very light.
    48" Vanquish F3A, for same power system as the 47" Yak. This is a very modern F3A design. Yes it will do all the 3D maneuvers, but its real intention is precision aerobatics. Will make a great practice plane for pattern competitiors or anyone looking to hone their skills.

    I am back on my feet, though still a little slow. I will post pictures as soon as possible. Full details to follow.

    Status: offline     		YAY!!!!!!! Finally some news for the masses!!!!

    See I TOLD you there wasn't a 90" Extra!!!! It's ONLY 88.5" tee hee....

    The new Yak is 88" and just under 17 bs! This should offer the amazing foamy wingloading feel but with JUTS enough weight to make flying it in more than 3 mph winds more enjoyable and stable.

    The E-Edge and 88" Yaks are coming first... with the Extra a little further down the road...

    I've seen the protoype Extra fly and it's got ALL the capabilities of the 87" Yak... NO snapping tendencies on high elevator, SUPER stable upright and inverted harriers, AWESOME power to weight with the tuned pipe it was setup... I mean PEPPY.

    I'm sure the Yak will be as awesome too... CAN'T WAIT to get mine!

    With more than one factory manufacturing Chris' various designs... he's able to keep his eggs in more than one basket so we should start seeing more frequent and timely releases.

    SO... O.K. now... go check your paypal account and see what items you can "move off" to make room...
