This is the first chance I've had to read this thread. First of all, I wish to welcome you to the wonderful hobby of RC Flight.

No one, so far, has asked you the big question.. is this your first plane? Are you new to this hobby?

If you answer YES to either of these questions, then you really should put aside that YAK and go with a basic trainer to get started. What you have been working with prior to the YAK is in no way sufficient to get you started in this hobby.

If I may, I suggest that you find yourself a decent trainer (look in this thread and pick any of the ones in this list)

Then, find yourself someone that is experienced in training you for RC Flight, and work closely with that person. Otherwise, you will most likely gain experience in how to destroy the planes you have chosen to learn with. The YAK is not, in any way, a trainer aircraft. You really need to work with a trainer and an instructor to get you on your way to learning to fly RC. And, after you have "mastered" your trainer, you can move up to a low wing trainer, learn to fly that, and master that, and then, possibly, get up to learning to fly that YAK you have.

All this information is offered to you because we all know how difficult it is to learn to fly RC and that learning in to fly comes in steps. You cannot learn to fly with a plane that is way beyond your capabilities.

Good luck.
