Hey guys.

Now most of you know me as strictly an electric guy...but just to prove that Im not against glow/gas planes. I decided to build a new glow plane.
After looking around the net for a while I wanted to build a .46 powered aerobatic plane. Not necessarily for 3D flying, but for general aerobatics. I wanted something I could fly at local fly-in events, and on the weekends at the field.

Recently we got a Giles from Nitroplanes.com
It works fine. So I liked the look of the yak, and ordered one. Ive heard all the mixed reports and negative comments about the CMP planes, but all of the ones Ive seen so far end up pretty nice birds. There is a swallow here, that flys great. My dad has the giles, and it maidened last weekend. He's got a little tweaking to do, but it also flys great. The yak has been widely reported as being pretty wild, and "snappy". Well Im always up for a challenge.
Im going to keep the plane as stock as possible so that if any of you decide to build one, you'll end up with the same results if you build it like I did.

Right now Nitroplanes.com will give you a $30 off coupon if you write a review on RCuniverse.com
They specifically state...they want it honest...no bull.
Im pretty well known for telling it like it is. I dont pull any punches.

So here goes.
Im going to go step by step showing how I built my yak. Enjoy!!!!

Here's what the plane looks like completed.


Step 1 - Hinging the ailerons.
Pretty straight forward task.. plain CA hinges. No mystery here. Easy to do.
