What engine are you running and does it give unlimited vertical?

I am running an OS 1.20 with a 17x4w APC prop, on 15% nitro even in our hot humid air here in Florida, she hovers no problem, I use the Yak to practise IMAC.

I went with the 5985's in wing and on elevator, 5955 on the rudder,overkill but do they ever center well and are fast, I had 5945's but switched, the centering was poor.

I hope I don't have centering issues on the 5945's. I got them online for $62/servo, which was advertised as "on sale". I have some 5985's in my cap, but opted for the 5945's cause they were slightly stronger and cost less. Hope I don't regret it.

Status: offline 		I've been using the 5625's and they center very well. Not as much torque as the 5645's, but very fast. I haven't noticed any blow back on the Funtana 90 with these, and I think they should be fine on this yak, however, I will probably throw a a higher torque servo on the rudder.

Status: offline 		What a difference between the 5985's and the 5645's, you do not fight the plane with the slight corrections that are needed with the 5645's, well worth the extra money, especially if you are flying IMAC.

Status: offline 		If you have access to a Hitec digital servo programmer, adjust the deadband on the 5645s and they center a whole bunch better. I have the Yak 90-1.20 with 5645 servos on elevator/ailerons and a JR8611A on rudder.

I have mine with the 1.80 and it's perfect. Unlimited vertical!

The only place I can think of is Aeroworks themselves.

I've had the QQ 73" and currently fly the Aeroworks .90-1.20. If the 69" is anything like the 73" I'd get the Aeroworks.

Hi, Zippi, I guess by the sounds of it you were not empressed with the QQ yak. Any particular reason? (build quality, flying characteristics)?

Status: offline 		Ian Shaw,

I didn't care for the geometry of the linkage setup with the circuit board control horns. Nothing fit very well, Seem to have to much slop. The rear stab was another area I didn't care for. Seemed to be very weak. A plane of this size needs have the wing and rear stab on a tube that is bolted to the fuse, not CA hinges. It was hard to pick this plane up without breaking something on the bottom side, just too fragile for me. This is just my opinion and others may like this setup but I didn't.
