Of them all I've only had the HL Yak... alot of fun for what it is. Reasonably robust being 6mm depron.

So here's the thing though...
The Yak is anywhere from $17 to $25'ish depending on whether or not you catch it on sale.
Keep that in mind for a minute...

I powered my HL Yak with a Rimfire 22M-1000 and its BL8 esc on a 9x3.8 prop powered by a 630 3cell lipo with HS55's for servos..
It flew just fine... but it still flew like a flat foam plane.
So after I crashed mine up to destruction, and that really does not take much I replaced it with a Efoamies R3D Mini.

The R3D Mini uses ALL of the Yaks gear - and I mean everything - so for that stuff, the cost is the same.
The Mini cost me about $80 (ouch) BUT... I've been having a rough & tumble blast with it for over a year!
It has put up with some seriously nasty cartwheels, nose-in's, flops, and tail-first dirt diving.
It is by FAR the most fun, relaxing, agile and durable plane I own.

Ok... back to price... Here's the deal, considering the HUNDREDS of wipe-outs, its an absolute, without doubt, money saver in the long run. By comparision to the Yak, the little R3D has saved me not only money, but it has also saved me wasted trips to the field only to go home early and broken, as well as lots of repair or rebuild time.
Every tear or ding I've put in mine fixed in an hour with a $3 tube of GOOP from Target or WalMart.

So how does it fly?
LOADS of fun! Example, it will do a sort of hover to knife edge waterfall and back into hover.
It has huge control surfaces for its size and will get in and out of trouble easily, so it's fairly sensitive - use expo.
It's not the stiffest thing out there, so it does do a few odd things, but nothing seriously foul - it just has some flex (and thats why it rarely tears or breaks)
Once you get used to it, it will fly smoothly, gracefully, and go right where you point it.
It floats around nicely and can even handle a bit of wind, and if the wind is slow and steady it even adds to the fun.
One of the best parts about the Mini, is that it lasts long enough to get to "know" it, and even to this day I am easily the most comfortable with it - in that way it even surpasses my Airfoilz and the rest.

Its one of a kind really, I have not found another plane out there quite like it.

Get a couple extra HS55's while your at it - You'll strip them out more often than you will seriously damage the plane.

If you build it right... I'll buy it from you if you dont like it. [sm=wink_smile.gif]
