Status: offline 		Because it is an official MAN review plane. Radiocontrolzone.com is a division of MAN. I am sure posting build reviews prior to the magazine release on a non-MAN-affiliated site would be a no-no.
Jbenson went true QB on this one. He got it on a Sunday, had to work the following Monday, spent all day Tuesday building it, and had it ready to fly by Wednesday! It was too windy for a safe maiden Wednesday, so the maiden happened on Thursday. Then, it was off to Arizona for an IMAC competition on Friday. He got one flight in on Friday to practice the Sportsman sequence, and that's it...Get this! By the end of the contest, he still hadn't done any fine-tuning to the CG or throws or any mixes - but you wouldn't know it. The plane flew straight as an arrow all weekend, rolled on a string, and snapped crisp, leading him to a respectable 5th place finish in a class of 17 Sportsman Pilots! Not bad for his second IMAC contest ever on a plane with only 20 minutes of flight time prior...sure, the pilot always has a lot to do with that, but in this case, I think the plane had a hand in it as well

The Yaks will be here in about 2 weeks so if you haven't pre-ordered yours yet be sure to do so to make sure yours is reserved.

For this first shipment we will just be doing the stock scheme. We have not yet decided on a new scheme for the Yaks. If you guys have any ideas feel free to post if your willing to share!
