Default RE: Yak 54 .40-.50 ARF need help with pull-pull elevator setup

Well, between saturday and sunday, I got four flights in on the Yak. WOW! For all the negative comments i've read about it, what a bunch of morons. THIS plane flies awesome! Its no 3D plane, but it is a very scale aerobatic plane. Snap rolls are amazing!!!!!! Only one time did it snap when i pulled hard on the elevator, but that was on high rates. On low rates it will do anything you want it to. Rolls are very defined and axial, loops track dead on. Stall turns are fun, but doesn't require much rudder. The first one I tried ended up in looping the plane with the rudder in a spin, neat trick to do though. all in all, use bigger wheels and it's an awesome airplane. I was so worried about it from the negativity of everyone, but maybe they were expecting a fun-fly plane? Its fun, but on a different level. The .61 seems to be the perfect engine for that plane. vertical was out of sight if you didn't pull back on the throttle.
Cant tell I like the plane can you?
