I saw one of these at a model show. I think it's one of the more handsome Yak colour schemes and its fairly reasonably priced (£120). I'm pretty tempted but I've never heard of this amazingly genericly-named manufacturer before so I was wondering if anyone had had any experience with them, or know of any other names they might go by. This is their website with more pics: [link=http://www.arfmfg.com/index.php?Page=42]ARF mfg[/link]

I have a 70" Yak sold through Cermark here in the US but the instructions and decals clearly indicate it is from ARF Mfg. It is actually a very nice plane for the price. The covering is a pretty bad material but useable and some of the hardware is questionable but it is well-built otherwise and flys outstanding.

That's 2 positive replies I've had so far then, thanks

how bad is the covering? does it easily peel off in flight? are there other threads that you know of with regards to this subject (ARF mfg yak 55 26 cc)? I am about to get a goldwingrc (formerly ARF mfg) yak 55. thanks for info.
