3W Yak 3.1m

Lojik

70cc twin V2
Hi all,

Anyone had any experience with the 3W Yak, I believe it is made by Model power in the Check republic http://www.model-power.cz/eng/yak54-31.html

I have an opportunity to pick up one second hand:

Frame: 3W Yak 3m I believe it is the competition version as it has honeycomb reinforcement in the fuse, condition is good to fair, it has had one crash, repairs to wing and elevator are very well done, high quality repair work, fuse is all good, no damage and in good nick, rudder control surface needs to be recovered and hinges checked, Motor Box has started to split on the lower right corner so this needs to be removed and reworked with carbon and epoxy, overall not a crazy amount of work to get the frame in "top" condition

Motor:3W 170 competition twin spark, very low use, I'd say under 30 flights, no damage what so ever and in good nick, Cans and prop included, 2 blade but will get me in the air for test runs before moving to a 3blade

Servos: Futaba BLS-152's all round (12) 3 per Ail, 2 per Elev, 2 on Rud

Hardware: All SWB arms some sea craft gear

Power: Smartfly EQ6 Turbo i believe, didn't get a good look at it, might be a 10 Turbo, has the fan and is one unit, also comes with a complete spare unit

I'm tempted to nab this up even just for the gear in the frame, officially its not for sale but the guy wants to help me get into IMAC so I'm getting it for what he paid for it which is about 1/3rd replacement value, it needs work and wont be a 5min job but i've been looking now for a few months and this is the best deal on the market near me

Any thoughts?
