Default Do Yaks float?

I know Im not the first to do this, but the first time I have done it with a plane not on floats. Thats my 3.3m Yak 55! Got a short clip of it torking there, but on dial up I cant do anything with it.

Enjoy! This was sunday at Bellair club in Bellingham Wa.

Ah, it never touched the water, then I gave it a hug and put it back in the trailer It was losing total sight of the plane in the fog earlier that morning that was not cool.... oops.

John, a friend at my field has the 3.3 in the JR scheme. I am amazed at how nice it looks everytime it flys. You are a very lucky father of a giant yak!

I live up in the Okanagan Valley, but my wife has family in Bellingham and on Camano Island, I have a sister in Victoria and lots of friends in the Vancouver area so we get down there fairly often. A nip across the border to visit the field would be an easy thing to do!

Are we talking fresh or salt water? Better buoyancy in salt water you know

Lynden is about 15min or so north of Bham on the Guide. Let me know when you come up. Ever flown a big yak?
