RE: Yak 54 Profile
I want to make this an official Public Thank You! Mike, Thanks so much for all your help in getting me the parts I needed, I want to thank John Drake also for getting me the items I needed. And I couldn't have gotten one of the best looking mufflers around without the help of John McNee's.
When I purchased this plane the gentleman I got it from never came through with the parts, no landing gear, no hardware of anykind. So Mike, John, and John, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE TO MAKE THIS PLANE POSSIBLE...
Today it Fly's!!!!

Mike, I have a question, I am using the Spectrum DX7 trans. with the Yak-54. What do you have programed in to do things like a rolling harrier? And what else might I setup to do other Aerobatic manuv. or 3D?

RE: Yak 54 Profile
Mike, I took the Yak-54 up to Celina yesterday and the plane was a huge hit!!! People just loved it, I need you to speak with John McNee's and tell him to contact me about the Muffler he made for me...I think he is going to sell a huge amount of those!!! Mine was a protatype he said because it was with two cans and not just one. I have had to drill out the baffle some because with the eight holes he made the engine was blowing the muffler off the header pipe all the time. But now since I drilled the holes a little larger it doens't do that anymore.
I also wore the hat that you sent me, people now think I am part of the OMP team and wanted to know if I was going to be going to different shows next season with an OMP sponsor!!! LOL! No Kidding!!! With the plane and the engine, and muffler I have, Wow! great hit!!! People absolutely loved it.
I was doing a flat spin right side up and actaully made it stop and it started to climb still in the flat spin...People freeked out!!! Hanging it on the prop, fantastic, hovers beautifully!!! Amazing aircraft...
Have John call me, I think you have my number if not I will send you an email with it. Thanks Mike
