Hi Mike!
I'm very interested on this awsome plane, but I haven't found many info about it (apart from Horizon Hobbys website)
I'm very dubious on which engine should I use. My only experience on electric airplanes is a Ikarus SHockflyer with an Axi 2204/54 engine and TMM 12A controller.
Could you tell me what engine should I use? and if my controller will work with it? What about batteries?
If you could advice me on the Axi brand, I't would be better, because I'm more familiar with it, and it's the most common engine here in Spain.
By the way, I want it for indoor flying (etoc type of flying)
Thank you very much

I set up my yak just like Mike said and it flies awsome and i get about 15 to 20 minutes max. The plane is awsome for fine tuning my 3 d skills. It hovers effortlessly and is so forgiving that I learned how to do rolling circles. Now I can try it with my 33% edge with more confidence. Great kit. I do however recommend one tip. Put a few strips of box or packaging tape on the fuselage sides, top and bottom( this is the very last step that I recommend for the assembly process)from about the leading edge forward. I ran a battery out and my first yak and came in hard on the nose and it exploded the foam in the front. The tape would have held it together better and it does make it more solid. Also be sure to do the addendum that is a separate sheet in the instruction booklet it reinforces the front and is important.
