48" EPP Yak

I just recently picked up one of these and I'm loving it.

It really doesn't have any bad habits. It's 3Ds great and is also good for precision flying as well. It's a great practice plane that you can fly almost anywhere.

I've got one on the way. Looks like it will be a lot of fun....

It's on the Brown Truck of Happiness somewhere between Jacksonville and Orlando. Can't wait.....

Kit arrived today, the airframe is together, so far it is awesome.

Suggested one errata item for the 3DHS website - the recommended 12 inch and 4 inch servo extensions are too short for the longer Yak.

Overall, though,this thing is awesome.

Have you flown it already?? Glad you got it so quickly. I found that these EPP full fuse planes go together very nicely.

It's not quite done yet. All surfaces in place, servos in place, need to get battery retention set, and install pushrods.

Weather looks poor for tomorrow, so maiden probably won't be until Wednesday.

Awesome. Let us know how it goes. I love mine!! One quick tip... If you like to do blenders then use very little throttle and this plane will spin like mad. My balsa planes like a little throttle so when I first tried them with the EPP Yak it kept flattening out. Eased off the throttle and BAM!

All built, ESC programmed, radio programmed, awaiting flyable weather.

Good to hear. It will handle a fair amount of wind JUST fine but with what you guys have down your way... I wouldn't venture out either! Stay safe and dry!
