RE: Great Planes 25% Yak 81" 12-lb, seen on Fly3D Magazine
Hey all I finally got mine in the air today after 3 long months of slowly getting everything I needed. I have the DA 50 in it and man it's a beast. My first gas engine. I didn't have to touch the high or low needle settings because DA sets and runs all there engines here at the factory. Since I live in Tucson which is were DA is located they told me not to touch it until I have ran 2 to 4 gallons through it. Then Brian at DA said he will come out to the field and tune the engine for me. Sure is nice living right down the street from Desert Aircraft. Anyhow the engine started right up it's running a little rich but has plenty of power. My plane weighs 15 1/2 pounds and I can go verticle with less than 1/2 throttle. I can't wait till this engine breaks in. My first landing was a piece of cake. You got to love this plane.
