I bought the Richmodels Yak. I was pretty excited to get a Yak in a .40, especially for such a low price. Once I began putting it together, I realized that you get what you pay for. The hardware was pure crap, the landing gear didn't match with the blind nuts correctly, everything was built extremely weak, etc. I got so frustrated that I got fed up and threw it away. sure, I could have taken the time and fixed everything but that's not why I bought an ARF. When I want to take the time to modify and build things, I buy a kit or build from scratch. I enjoy doing that stuff but not on something that is supposedly ARF. Others may have had good luck with the plane but I wasn't happy at all.

I'll definitely still buy from AK Models though. The service has always been good and it isn't their fault that the manufacturer did a bad job.
