Default RE: Giant Scale Yak...

ORIGINAL: jrf

I don't have one, but from what I read in the other threads, they are all very tailheavy. Also 3 of 4 pounds heavier than advertised and tip-stally.

Everyone seems to have to have one Giant Scale Planes (CM Pro) airplane. No-one ever has two.

The Yaks are tail heavy and like so many ARFs these days all seem to be heavier than advertised, but the thread on the Katana would show you to be wrong about only owning one. The Katana is one very fine flying aircraft.

The Yaks only has 806 sqins of wing area and with the double tapered wing this makes it very tippy, especially when we arre powering them with up to Moki 2.10s. Havent worked out the wing loading but it would be very high.

The GSP/CMPro planes are generally well made, in most cases fly very well and are fantastic value for money
