The canopy you see here is exactly how it will come out of the box. No cutting or fitting needed.

The third pic shows you the side foam pice that is there for the roundness of the fuse.

Notice the aluminum plate for the landing gear block.

Prototype 35% Yak.
DA-100.

This was while it was being assembled. I was out of memory in my camera after this pic but Karl will get me the pics he took with his camera in a day or so.

"Extreme" Extreme Flight RC experiment.

DA-150 and the Mini3D
Torque rolls are amazing with this combo.
:D

Can I fit an RCS 140 gas on this without tearing it apart in the air. I love the size of the 68" but do not want to go glow!

Thanks,

Jason

Too bad all of these Yaks have the same scheme on them. I am already tired of looking at them from just browsing RCU. Do these come in solid white?

wgeffon 11-06-2003 02:11 PM

RE: Extreme Flight
 
Eric,
From what I understand the Yaks will come in this scheme, all white or RTC.
I do not know if those options will be available right away but at some point they will be.
Maybe Chris can chime in here.

Jason,
I am not sure if that motor will fit or not. The key to this thing flying as well as it does it to KEEP IT LIGHT with your motor choices.

Pugs,
Yeah we flew yesterday. ( in the rain )
Chris, me, Russ and Jay flew the prototype 35% Yak. It was amazing!
Videos to come!

We also all took turns with the Mini3D. We had to stand under Chris's hatchback to stay out of the rain.
Lots of low, close in 3D. That thing is so much fun to fly!

I love how the cap strips are dovetailed into the top sheeting on the Profile Extra! Very nice work in design and assembly!

I like the scheme on the Yaks...just not the wing bottoms. The multi color bars on the bottom are too...festive for me. I'll get the RTC and put Quique's TOC scheme on it!

Wayne:
Just got off the phone with Chris:

Sounds good Roger.

I am working on the videos as we speak. They are coming out great!

What is Chris asking for the 68" Yak? The 65" Extra says $290 but no price on the Yak.

To tell you the truth, I am not sure.
I am sure he'll see this and give you an answer.

dgfick 11-06-2003 04:59 PM

RE: Extreme Flight
 
Hopefully he will...

Whats the deal with that .40 profile Edge? It looks real nice...my profile that I have now is just about dead..do you know any specs for it? Haven't seen it before. Musta been sleeping.

wgeffon 11-06-2003 05:13 PM

RE: Extreme Flight
 
Its the next plane in line for delivery.
Same basic dimensions as most of the .40 sized profiles out now.
Its the first Edge profile ARF I can think of.
Saito .72, YS .63, OS .50 etc etc..

ROGER RUSSELL 11-06-2003 05:58 PM

RE: Extreme Flight
 
From what he told me it should be under $300, BUT he is waiting on all the finals before he decides.
Still a pretty good buy from all the pictures from Wayne.

What can I say. That 68" looks beautifully built.

Are they going to be available in the uk?

Wayne and/or Chris.
Not meaning to be cynical or anything :D

But, who designed (I believe Chris) & built these models (the prototypes)...

Will the production models be the same as the prototypes in terms of construction etc. (I know about your strict quality control standards). How about the quality of Balsa used etc.

Any time soon that the planes will be demo'ed in the PA/NJ area ?

PS: This is meant to be a compliment. The planes look totally awesome in picture.

Sorry, I'm better now...[:o]
