nice change from the old ones with the tail always playing catchup with the wing

yea that does look really cool. i dont know about flying it outside...its only got like a 17 in. w.s. and a little ips motor, i dont think it would handle wind very well.
But knowing the people here, i bet someone will convert it to use an out runner on the nose for 3D, that would be bad****.

Status: offline 		ive got and flown the yak. Its a fantastic flyer! Don't really know if its better than the originals but i reckon it is. Knife edge requires no mixing at all, 3D flying is excellent too, the elevator has excellent authority as does the rudder. Ive done a vid (not very good mind) so when that gets uploaded online ill link y'all to it

Status: offline 		a 2208/34 is awesome on a shockflyer with 3 cells, and either 9x3.7 or 10x4.7 or the 3.8 pitch props

Status: offline 		well thanks for the photos but i would like to see some pics with the typhoon if possible,
by the way a 10x4.7 on the axi is not that good its a vig prop later on it will start glitching,well thats what happened with me,the 10x3.8 is much better
