RE: Yak Attack !!!!
Finished up the hinging tonight. I plan on flying the plane this weekend weather permitting. All I have left to do is the control Rods, fuel system, switches & programming. Oh & the wife is painting me up one of her fancy pilots!

RE: Yak Attack !!!!
Currentlyflying the Wild Hare Ultimate, DA 50, JR 4131's in the wings, 8411's rudder and elevator, 811 throttle. Flies great!!!! Need to continue setup. Right off the board the horizontal stab was 0-0, lower wing 0-0 upper wing 1 degree negative all on the money. This is out of the box. WOW!!! Final check tommorow on the YAK. it has DA 50, 8411's throughout and 811 on throttle. On all my birds I use an isolator with 2 1800 JR nicads for the servos, a 4v 1400 for reciever and an 1100 6 volt for ignition. What wonderful support from Tom and Patty (Patricia)
Thanks for a great product line at affordable prices with superior tech support.

RE: Yak Attack !!!!
I flew today with two buddies of mine, all of us did the maiden on new Yaks. Mine, Jamie Turners 33% TOC Yak, & Gonn for goods Qui Qui 87" Yak. It was a little windy, but the wind died down at the end of the day. The Wild Hare flew hands off right from the git go, balanced at 3&3/8" back from the leading leading edge she flew inverted without needing any elevator, I mean dead perfect. At this CG the plane really will hover nearly hands off, Jamie had it 3 ft off the deck his first flight with her. ( I'm not that good.) The Brison is excellent power, you can hover without fear & it has unlimited verticle,,,,,, until you throw those massive surfaces to her. With that prop in a waterfall she would steadily fall (guess thats why they call it a waterfall) Knife edge from right to left needed a little aileron correction but had no elevator coupling to speak of. For some reason, when you knife edged it from left to right it pulled to the wheels pretty good. Not sure why maybe the pull-pull cables need a little adjusting. In a parachute, she had the least wing rock of all three planes & as a matter of fact, we all agreed that of the three Yaks, the Bunny was the smoothest flying of them all, even though it was the smallest. For true all out 3D I would guess a 50 would be better (that rocket out of a hover thing) but this plane does it all built just as she is & for now I'm not changing nuttin!
Tom, you have a real winner here & for the rest of you, at $389 if you want an excellent Yak, this is the one to get. Another winner out of the bunny hutch.
