RE: Great Planes 25% Yak 81" 12-lb, seen on Fly3D Magazine
Hi all,
I fly my Yak with a DA50 and a 22x10 two blade. I've have lots of fun, and no problems with clearance to the ground. I also put to much weight up front for my first flights, just to match the recommended CG. I've taken out most of the weight, and it flies even better.
Today, I experienced a real close call ! I in-flight I suddenly realized something was very WRONG. I was bearly able to salvage the plane through a very quick and somewhat tricky landing.
The investigation board had an easy task, as the picture clearly shows. Cannot blame any but myself. And I was living in the belief that I was an experienced builder...
Feel lucky that I saved my Yak in one piece...
