I think you're going to find anyone who's ever flown or even seen a Chinn Yak fly will stand up and salute Jeremy Chinn on this most excellent design. It's simply the most capable 3D ship available. Were you paying attention during Graham's video?

Anytime you can use a Saito .82 on a 4.5 lb bird and have this degree of control, you're 9/10 the way to heaven.

I want one of these. Are they a proven flyer? How do they hold up with a Saito 82 on them?


Go to You tube or see the links above- Yes it is a proven flyer.
Saito 82 is perfect.
I have an old video of one of my old kits, I'll try to get it posted here.

I have the OS 55Ax on it wicked power, spektrum set-up with servos and all, with a 1100 A123 pack. It needed ZERO trim, knife edge was perfect, CG 5.25 as recommended. On the second flight I was hovering down low and in my face. I LOVE THIS PLANE!!! I LOVE EXTREME FLIGHT!!!

I've also seen a post or two of the CG coming in a little AFT of where some folks are comfortable. I wonder if the 91 would help that a bit?

Status: offline 		Fine. It seems that back when Jeremy designed this, the 50SX was the big dog of the two stroke world. OS 50 or 55, Webra 50 or 55, anything stronger than a 40FX, pretty much.

Go for it, and maybe a 12x4 or 13x4 prop???

Status: offline 		Well I ordered the yak. If I can get it to come in between 5 and 5 1/2 lbs (hopefully less than 5 1/2) I think it should be good to go. How many oz. fuel tank does it come with?

Status: offline 		2 washers is about 2 degrees, and pretty customary. I prefer one washer, however. You can also buy thrust offset plates from OMP that accomplish the same thing, but provide a more consistent mounting surface.
