    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    Ha! I'm a corporate stiff who plays with planes on the weekend. I've only been flying for a little over a year. This Yak is my second balsa plane, and I would never even attempt a rolling harrier :p There is a reason the only video i have posted is of someone else flying my plane. That said...

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    Ps.......I bought my Yak from Chris Hinson during Joe Nall last year, so it's only appropriate that I bring it back to fly this year.

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    I put the cart before the proverbial horse! I registered and paid before knowing my schedule or request for time off so that I have to go :o Plus I had so much fun last year, I can't imagine missing it !

    Awesome! Will you be attending Joe Nall in May?

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    This airframe is so awesome, it's hard to hold it back. I've only been in this hobby for about 2 yrs so I still have a lot to learn. That said, I would lean toward believing that the 24x8 is a bit under propped for the DA70 on this plane. You will really like the 25x8 and the 24x10.

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    As you know, the DA70 provides more than enough power for this airframe. So much so, that you can prop up and gain performance. That said, I decided to try out the Falcon 25x8W carbon fiber prop and love it. I believe RKEstes posted a video a few pages back of Alex flying my plane. That...

    Oops! Sorry about that, I thought you were asking a question ABOUT a gyro, not a question TO someone named Gyro. My bad :facepalm:

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    I use the Lemon 7ch Rx-stabilizers in my 60" planes, but the 91" Yak doesn't need one. I've flown in 20+ mph winds and she handles it just fine. Not that you want to fly in those conditions but the airframe handles it well. I have a buddy who uses the demon cortex in one of his smaller...

    Another 91" EF Yak 54 Build

    Thanks! I can do many of those maneuvers, but they are much slower, and much higher :)

    Here is my first attempt at an in flight video on my Yak. I learned a lot. 1) don't record video late in the day, lighting is better at high noon 2) use a vibration absorbing mount to reduce jello effect 3) don't make the final video too long Anyway, check it out. https://vimeo.com/105185073

    Very nice video perspective. How did you mount the camera to the cowl? Did you have to leave a permanent mount with sticky tape?

    Merry Christmas to you too! I mounted my Rx with both Velcro, and a zip tie. Here is a pic.

    No, stayed with the HS-5245MG's like I run in my MXS and it spins like nobody's business. I'm still a very new pilot, and they are fast enough for me. Heck, I've seen Doc Austin flat wearing it out with 5245's and I'm not even close to what he is capable of doing. I'm sure there is a difference...

    Thanks! I liked the big one so much, that I just bought the 60" electric version with a Torque motor / Airboss ESC combo. It's on the bench now, and I can't wait to fly it!

    4titude makes great tanks. I am running a 32oz for fuel, and a 16oz for smoke. I purchased mine here. http://www.aztechaeromodels.com/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=Tank&product_id=479
