Default RE: Great Planes 25% Yak 81" 12-lb, seen on Fly3D Magazine

I flew my Yak today! At 5 1/2" It flew fine. I did notice a nose drop when cutting the throttle on landing. I also needed a Very slight down elevator for inverted flight. The book reccomended throws are not enough, the high rate throws are OK for me. Unlimited rolling verticals, but knife edge to the left causes an RPM loss, due to the carb. position.
I replaced the Kit tail wheel with a sullivan (10-22 LB).........it sucks! A friend is using an old Klett Tail wheel and it works wonderfully. Unfortunatly they are out of business....... I made somthing of my own, I'll try tomorrow.
