Status: offline 		Yes, we offer all our kits and ARFs with combos even if it is not listed on the webpage. We have several engine choices including YS and OS. Please give John a call and tell him I sent you to ask for a combo price. The new OS 75AX is a great choice or you could step all teh way up to a 91FX or even the YS 110 although that is UBER power.

Status: offline 		The RY comes with a complete hw pack typical of most chinese profiles. The tank is great to use, landing gear and wheels are pretty good. COntrol linkages are ok but there are dozens or more options for linkage setups and seems everyone has their opinions and preferences. Personally I like to use ball links on most models 90 size and up but that is probably overkill on a profile! Clevises and Z-bends are more than adequate. If you are buying a new engine the OS 91 is actually the same size and weight as the new 75AX so I'd go for the 91FX 2-stroke. I'm not a 4-s expert but I'd guess any of the name brand .91-1.25 4-s engines would be great power. Maybe a Saito 100 would be a great choice.

Status: offline 		Mike, I just received my RY today and compared to my other profile (katana) The surfaces are huge from what I saw. This ones going to be a MONSTER!! Do you know what 4 stroke was used on the RY in the video from your site by chance? I've been using 2 strokes on my profiles for a while now but I'd like to go back to the Saito 100 on this one I think. Weighs less than my OS .91 2 stroke.

Status: offline 		What prop do you use John? I like the sound and torque of the Saito. I've used them in the past. I've never tried any other 4 strokes. I'm looking foward to the RY and Saito combo.

Status: offline 		The Saito 100 would be a great choice. I'd start with a 15-4W APC as I think that was the best prop I liked when I ran a Saito 100. I used Cooper 20% fuel. If you run 30% fuel you might be able to go 15-6. I like the faster spool up on throttle so the lower pitch works for me.

Thanks Mike. I'm going with the Saito 100 for sure. I've been using the Xoar props and really like them so I'll probably do the same with the Saito. I have'nt started on it yet. I'm going to Las Vegas in 3 days so I'll start on it when I return. If I win big I'll have a large order to place when I get back with you.

Status: offline 		I gave in to the seduction and decided to keep the display RY ARF for myself and started building it for myself yesterday. Mounted one of my trusty OS .91FX on the nose, mounted a standard servo for the throttle directly behind the motor on the motor mounts. Worked our VERY sweet. Have all the surfaces hinged and stab installed. So far assembly is typical profile ARF and straight forward with no issues. Pictures coming later

Status: offline 		Just started flying my new Razor-Yak this week. Equipped with OS-91, digital Hitec servos, Futaba 2.4 Ghz radio. Wow! It really flies well. I am doing 3-D stuff that other my planes never could. I started flying with CG at 8", first flights with battery up near engine. Moved battery back into wing today and CG now at 8.5". Now I am kicking myself for not getting this one done sooner. It does harriers in low rates. waterfall loops need high rates for elevator. I'm still learning this 3-D stuff, but this slab can do any of the tricks, it is just pilot limited, for now.

Status: offline 		That's awesome Doutcalt. Glad you like the RY! I've also got the .91FX on mine but have not finished the plane yet. Been playing with the giant gassers recently. Folks say that 8.5" is the sweet spot on cg though on the RY. Keep at it!
