Default RE: NitroPlanes 69" YAK 54 - anyone built one ?

Just opened my NP Yak that came by brown today, and I am totally in awe of the quality of the build and the covering. Personally this is the best ARF I have ever bought and received. AND the great thing is that it is so light in my hands. I will need to use the heat gun on a few places, but the wrinkles are few and far between. My pumped OS 120 Surpass will haul this around with ease. I managed to get that engine last year for just $135 plus SH on eBay, so this is going to be one of my cheapest planes to get in the air, yet it will in all likelihood be one of the best flying. (Yes, I ran it on the test stand and it flat out hauled.) Looking forward to getting this combo in the air, but it's in the queue behing a Modeltech P-47 and a BME 30% Extra 330L. This Yak looks so good though, that it might move up ahead of the Extra. Jon
