Default RE: Yak 55 3d flight flex

Hey guys, I managed to maiden the yak today, although im having a few probs with servos, (thanks loswave for advice on other post) But i have to say i am very impressed. I wanted a light weight high powered 3d plane, and this plane hasn't disappointed, was a bit too windy today for a sensible maiden, but had a blast anyway, and brought it back safe and sound (though i did need about 4 approaches)

This thing really does have some speed and power, but im very worries about how much stress goes on the plane? I know it has carbon fiber in the wings and down the fuse, but it must suffer some serious gee force in some moves

Surprised how easy it was to hover even in the wind (if at 40 odd degrees). All in all im really happy with it, so thanks to every one that took the time to help me out.

Ill try and get a video of it in the next week or so, and leave a link here when its done if anyone wants to see how this set up works.

Hovers for my set up were still just under half, even with a charged lipo, but that is plenty of power to fly it round, and do most tricks, take it up to half, and its got the power to climb vertically and do just about anything, 3/4 power and its really shifting and some high speed moved come in to play, but im still a bit worried at full throttle really feels like it could break up at any minute, so i think ill keep it below 3/4s for the time being But its nice to know the extra power is their.

Thanks again guys for every ones advice.

Joe
