RE: 33% OMP Yak SP-55M Build Thread
Hello Mike, that is great about your son. I should get my headers Tuesday and then I can finish the plane. I will need to cut away some of the film at the area that I glue in the supports for the canisters but that can be fixed. The weather will make test flying a week or two away.
Best of luck with your plane and post some photos when you finish it and fly it.

Thanks Richard! I'll be posting pics of my setup on both the Yak and Extra once I start the builds. Just finished one of the Ravens which I'm going to fly purely for 3D. Don't have any graphics on it yet but test flew it Saturday. Holy cow is this bird an animal! Running a 3W85 and Hitec 7955s all the way around.

Hello Mike I finished my Yak 55 that I bough at Toledo . I put the wings on tonight and found a 2 inch crack in the Carbon tube for the wings. I will need a new one.

RE: 33% OMP Yak SP-55M Build Thread
Hello Mike thanks, I thought when they cut the tube because everything is very well packed including the tube. They use a lot of cardboard and everything is very well packed. We have been getting a lot of rain here in Michigan and I look forward to flying the plane when possible.

Mine is done. Waiting for a calm day to test fly her. Will upload more photos later of the build. Finals are going on at college and school is coming first now! Hopefully next week when I am home I will have time to upload a lot of pictures.

Hello Mike I just received the tube , thanks now when it stops raining I will be able to check out the plane. Kevin I noticed you have your plane with a lot of travel even when taking off. I will set mine much softer at first. It looked real good and I can see you are good. This is my first big Yak but I have other big birds.

RE: 33% OMP Yak SP-55M Build Thread
Hello Mike do you think I need a cutout on the bottom of the big Yak along where the 2 canisters sit for cooling? I saw a video on your team flying one and they had an opening all along the pipes. I have about 15 flights on mine but was thinking about it.
