yellowred Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi Ive not flown one but one of our club members says that the Edge is a better plane to fly?? i suppose it depends on what you want from itCheck out the edge flying, stick with it, its worth ithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzqq5LdiYaQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YakMad Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Nick, I have one with a Saito 100 in it, it flies very well with very little knife edge coupling but does not like wind as the Fliton stuff is built light. You will need to go over every joint with thin CA and come up with a method to hold the hatch on and unless you fly off a hard surface you can bin the spats and wheels which are tiny for the size of model. It's a model I keep thinking of selling but then I will fly it and that idea is quickly shelved. I'am currently replacing the undercarriage with a Carbon one as even though the supplied one as survived our grass strip for a year and half one leg has developed a backward bend which re-occurs after one or two flights and you cannot re-bend it installed in the model. Also keep the tail light as even with a Saito 100 plus the battery in the engine bay I had to add lead. I hope this is not putting you off as if you got a chance to fly one I think you would be impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi gents,thanks for the info you sent. I took all on board and as predicted they didn't have any at Weston park to have a look at. Never mind YT International had an irresistible Yak 55. Should be ready to fly before the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YakMad Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Nick, Let us know how you get on with the Yak 55 as I was interested in one of those myself, I have several Yak-54's as I am a big fan of the way they fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 hi YakMad,I know its taken a while but Ive finally flown the Yak today. Did 3 circuits while trimming out the model. then threw it about. What can I say other than it will do a lot more than I can!!! The YT Yak maybe designed for electric, not even supplied with a fuel tank, but it is a very well put together piece of kit. I would recomend it.
