David Ashby - Moderator Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I've just built what I assume is a standard Crack Yak Ben, 32" span. Is this the one you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The crack yak mini is around 600 mm span ( 24" ) and flies really well. Quick and not like yer avg indoor shockie type. My friend has one and its his fav indoor model. Looks very good, and I fancy one myself for next season. Weight is uusually down to too much glue, servos, and battery - use a smaller than normal ( 450 ) indoor pack ( 250 -300 )and use the lightest servos you can that have the required torque.

David Ashby - Moderator Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Ah ok Ben, well I love the larger one, flies really well. I haven't been a great shockie fan to date but this one is changing my opinion of 'em for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
