Status: offline 		Hi,

I just bought and completed your 56" yak 52 model. It's the $80 special blue version 2 airplane with the pull-pull and strengthened wings and tail: see link to your add here:

http://www.nitroplanes.com/yak523d5056v.html

Very nice kit and a good deal for the price to be sure. I had read on RCGroups.com and RCUniverse.com forums about the many stabilizer failures the earlier version of this airplane had but was reassured by the note in the advertisement that says that version 2 has a strengthened stab and rear fuse. During assembly, I thought the stabilizer still looked mighty weak but I went ahead and built the plane per directions assuming the problems had been fixed.

My plane flew extremely well on the first flight, but on the second time up the stab fluttered and sheared off flush with the fuselage in straight and level flight at part throttle, causing a major crash. The fuselage survived with minor damage but both wings were severely damaged. When I looked at the failure, I could see that the stab has no reinforcement at all, it’s just made of 5/16" soft balsa sticks with no spar or sheet stock and is very flimsy, so it's no wonder it failed. Apparently whatever upgrade was made has not solved the problem the old version had with stabilizer failures. I can send pics of the fracture if it helps. I accept partial responsibility for the in-flight failure because I should have trusted my instincts and removed the covering from the stab and reinforced it properly, but this is still a real weak link in the design.

I wan to buy a replacement airframe because it's a great kit, but I see the sale has ended and the same plane (although red instead of blue) is now $125. I don't want to pay 50% more for a replacement than I paid for the original.

The only consideration I’m asking from NitroPlanes is to allow me to buy a replacement airframe for the same $80 I paid for the original. I’ll reinforce this one for sure! Here is the link for the identical version 2 plane that I ordered, except in red (the blue is out of stock now.)

http://www.nitroplanes.com/20redyak523d.html


I note you have another 56" yak for $99 but it is different, doesn't have the pull-pull and doesn't appear to have inserted wings or a firewall setup for electric motor. I definitely am not interested in that one.

my order number is yhst-17210252890263-146654.

Thanks and keep up the good work supplying low cost RC gear.

Scott

By the way, your message queues are full at RCGroups and RCuniverse and it is no longer possible to send PMs to you from those forums, you might want to clean them out.

I've been wanting one since I ran accross that listing.


Unfortunately the lack of a sellable plane also points to a lack of parts too...

Do you have a estimate when Item#: 93A40-13-LandingGearSet will be in? I just got the Flying Tiger kit, and I want to put the retracts in. Note that I'm a bit disappointed that you advertise that the kit has the retracts, and down below you point out it doesn't have them. You should go to Airfield and get them to include them! Other then that, the plane looks great so far (I haven't taken everything out and inspected it yet though)
Thanks!

To speed things up please do the following.

- Always provide your order number ( usually begins with YSTxxx ).
- Provide a link to the web page showing which product you purchased.
- Include a description of the item you are trying to obtain.
- If possible pictures help.

Please note:

- If a component is not in stock it can take a while to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
- Nitroplanes may at it's discretion pull requested parts from new aircraft for you.







Super Chipmunk Cowling........listed on your parts page.........it has been OS for quite a while.



If they are still producing the aircraft, should they not have them?
Any chance someone could make a call, email, or even a fax to the factory to check for sure?
It is a shame........nice aircraft, good quality.........no spare parts.

So................can you use your descretion and pull a cowling for me?



Thanks,
Fred

Got this item UPS yesterday. Undamaged intact box. Lots of missing items; unacceptable for sure.

Items missing are: aluminum front wing joiner, metal rear wing joiner, bag #4 - horiz stab and elevator assembly, bag #6 - sub bag with 4 x mounting screws, Bag #7 and subbag - windshield and screws, bag #8 and sub bag A & B - Complete LG setup, also bag # 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14.

Rather pitiful performance here. You can reach me ASAP at tshafer3661 (at) charter.net.
