RE: KMP 87" Yak-54 What do you Think?
First,
I respect J. David and anything he posts. I did not see the negative comments if there were any.
What changed my mind....time. And 3 flights.
DO NOT USE 5645 servos they will make you hate the plane. Centering is terrible and they are sloppy. Spend the money on 5945's.
If you got this plane cheap, like I did, you want to keep it cheap. But, here is the rub. It will fly like whatever you put in it. Garbage in ...garbage out.
This plane has the potential to fly every bit as good as an EF Yak. I have both, fly both , and know this for a fact. Yup, the KMP was poorly constructed by some standards. Fix it, beef it, and build it right and if you could fly it color blind you wouldn;t know the difference.
This is one bargain plane that you can make into a TOC contender. I will be flamed by the loyal EF guys, of which I am a part of, but, I am telling the truth. And sometimes the truth hurts.
But I have the right to speak my mind, I have spent a LOT of money on these Yak's and am willing to tell my experiences without holding punches.
How many Yak's do you all own??? I own 11. The KMP is just one of them .
