Default RE: 50cc Nitro Models Giant Scale Yak 54 3D ARF 81

Well finally got to maiden mine.
Takeoff was uneventfull needed no trim.
Flies fairly well at 1/3 to full throttle.
But once I cut the throttle back the plane just kind of falls out of the sky. Completely does its own thing. You cannot believe some of the situations this plane put me into trying to regain control

Very scary.......
IAfter reading everyones posts saying they added almost a pound using Dl/DA 50's I decided to use a Fuji 64 which I converted to RCexl. Weighs around 4 lbs.

Installed a Sullivan smoke pump and 4.8v Nimh pack for it
2 rudder servos.
2- 5 cell AU Nimh packs
1-4 cell AA Nimh ignition pack

Plane weighs right around 20.5 pounds
WAY TOO HEAVY for this type of pane.
Have a Dawg House Yak 55 using a DL 55 that I'm putting togethr that will probably weigh in at 16-7 lbs.

Now THAT's more like it!
PLUS it was only $100 more but included Carbon Fiber wing tube, MUCH better hardware, and the quality of construction?

The post would be just way too long trying to do a head to head.......

Nitro Models? If you're interested? Which from my dealings with you about some of the issues, I know you're not.......

THIS PLANE ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!!!!!!!!

I Implore anyone contemplating this model not to be suckered into it by the low price.
That is my review of this plane........
Take it for what its worth

Want a nice inexpensive YAK?
Go for the Dawg House. You'll never regret it.
