I'm the guy who built the Yak mentioned in STLPilot's post below. The plane is a blast to fly and I'm learning lot with it. The G26 also has RCIgnitions ignition conversion on it and the plane weighs 8.5lbs, may be a little light for flying on windy days because of the big wing. No lack of power, throttle management is a must and vertical is absolutely unlimited. Mine was built from the kit, but if it ever died, I'd buy the ARF and modify the nose to fit the engine.

I've shortened two propellors because of the soft landing gear, you might want to look for something a little stiffer. I'm having a problem with the plywood root rib breaking the glue joint at the leading edge. It's been repaired two times now, and I will be starting the third time this morning. It's going to get some serious reinforcing this time. I created the problem by cartwheeling the plane a couple of months ago, but it would still be a smart thing to reinforce the joint.

If you have any questions, let me know.
