Default RE: KMP 87" Yak-54 What do you Think?

Well put Bill.

I think you are correct, RCU is full of gloaters, and people trying to one up each other. I want to open the KMP Yak thread and read about putting this Yak together, and flying tips, etc... I don't want to read about how EF is the greatest thing since moon pies... My DA is bigger than your Brison.... I did the same in the EF Yak thread, lots of good info... but you still had the " I have more than you " crowd buzzing around that thread.

I have EF, and wildhare models flying now. I love them, and frankly, they are awesome. But I wanted to give this bird a try, I'll have about $600 in the airframe and engine. I'm going to go with Columbo's servo setup (4 5645's, and a 8611 on rudder) that will be about $270 more... Hopefully, I can work around some of the quirky stuff when putting this thing together, and it will be a great flyer... From the video posted by Columbo, it looks light, and looks very stable.
