Homebuilt Yak 54

Here is a pic of my scratch built profile. It has a Homelite 26cc engine and birch covered foam wings.

RE: Homebuilt Yak 54

I test flew my Yak Friday 3/29/13. It does fly. Wasn't a whole lot of power with a 16-8 prop, I'll experiment with a 17-6. Test results from a copy of Fly R/C magazine said a 17-6 generated the most thrust (10.3 lbs) on a Zenoah 26cc. While not fast it is very manuverable.
