First Gasser
 

Hey all, I am looking into getting a 50CC Yak. This will be my first gasser. I am looking at three brands as of now and would like some input on the quality and manufacture.

1. Aeroworks Yak. I really like the way these look but a couple people have told me that you have to reinforce the gear plate.
2. TT TOC Yaks. Several nice color combination to choose from.
3. Extreme flight R/C Love the yellow and black Yak but is out of stock. Probably would not get by Christmas.

Some that I have looked at but not really impressed.

TroybuiltModels. I have looked at the magic hand yaks but have not found much on them.

Any help to get me in the right directions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you looked at the [link=http://www.wildharerc.com/]Wild Hare[/link] planes ?

RE: First Gasser
 

I really want a Yak.

RE: First Gasser
 

Although that Sukhoi looks really nice. How would it compare to a Yak?

RE: First Gasser
 

Is there somewhere else that I need to put this so I can get more help?

B 10,

You have probably asked a question to which there are as many answers as potential respondents!

My experience with gassers is limited. My first, and only..but not last, is a Wild Hare Edge.

The 50cc gassers fly so much better than smaller (.60-.90 glow) airplanes that there is little comparison.

If you pick a plane you like from among the well-respected Asian-ARFs, and from and established vendor, you will probably not be disappointed.

Good luck and have fun.

Big10,

The WH ARF's are nice and so are the Aeroworks QB series. I've had both in the 120 size and the Aeroworks was a better build as far as build time, Quality, and looks. The Aeroworks has the control surfaces already hinged except the rudder and everything is pre-drilled. You pay a little more for the Aeroworks but you get a little more.

RE: First Gasser
 

I can comment on the aeroworks and the TOC, SD. Both are very good quality, and fly nice if kept light and balanced. There is a little more to put together with the SD, but you would be happy with either. I was not to impressed with my buddies majic hand yak, although a good price, you get what you pay for. One other thing, I think the gear mounting system on the SD is much better, unless Aeroworks has cought up to them in that respect.

How bout the Hangar 9 Carden Yak 54, 89"

Early kits were a bit troublesome but I have just got one from the new batch and they seem to have fixed the problems and indeed made improvements.

You would be pushed to find a better flying Yak, it outdoes the Extreme Flight Yak by all accounts.

RE: First Gasser
 

Have a look at the range from Austars. they have some very nice and reasonably priced items.
