Well Guy's. That's it for Me. I'm going to return My Somenzini Yak and go with another aircraft.
After reading Mr. Ulery's post, and Quique's post, I am under the impression that Quique suggests the use of analog servos, though high torque, (108 oz@ 4.8 volts) were at fault in one of the flutter crashes, So I am going to go with all digital servos (read: expensive) AND the aircraft is supplied with 2.2mm push rods, (which the Brazilian pilot immediately replaced,) and still got flutter, AND now I am supposed to perform surgery to install an ounce of lead to "static Balance" the elevators, then compensate for the extra tail weight by adding MORE weight to the nose to avoid potentially fatal elevator flutter? On top of that, other posts I've read have informed that a number of aircraft from this manufacturer were shipped with incorrect incedences. Further, no opinion as to the cause of the wing/tube failure has been offered other than to say it should'nt have failed....Ya, no kidding.....
No offense to Mr. Ulery, or Mr. Somenzini, ( As I understand their customer service has been outstanding),but I'm going to return mine and pass on this aircraft at least until there is more of them out there, and the design bugs, if that is the problem here, or manufacturing process, if that's the problem have been worked out.
Finally, what with needing all digital servos all the way around, and needing to upgrade the hardware, I do not want to have nearly two grand into a 72" airplane whose airframe is suspect.
So... what's the best alternative? CG Sukhoi, EF YAK, or....????????
