The blog and forum formats are completely different. The last blog article I converted took about two hours, which I don't have right now. I'll get to it, but for now just click the link.

Can't wait to see the big yak! I wish they would have used the new russian thunder scheme from the contest on the 48... the other color scheme is a extremely close to the 3dhs edge... looking forward to more flight reports..

I got off work last night around 10PM, hurried home, and knocked out the build on my 48'' Yak :D

Maiden should be tomorrow. Got to get some sleep though! :megaroll:

Hehehe I wish i could have got video today but i'm having trouble with my servos. I had a Savox 0255 on the elevator that wasn't centering but i switched it out for a HS65MG and now i'm getting blowback. I think the best choice is going to be a HS85 on the elevator if you want to have a lot of throw. After putting the 65MG in the precision improved dramatically since i wasn't fighting the servo the whole time. The Yak flies insanely clean lines, i'm loving it. Hopefully i can get a video soon but i want to get rid of the blowback on the elevator first.

Got a little sketchy on the first flight today :) I hit the wrong direction on the rudder coming out of the hover and almost planted it in the dirt! No damage at all on the plane :thumbup: [video=youtube;oakbksqWSTw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oakbksqWSTw[/video]

As you can see take off and landings were a little hairy where i was flying. I had a crosswind coming toward me and the runway isn't too forgiving.

I'm loving the Yak. It loves to be flown fast! [video=youtube;iHRT0BGMtXw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHRT0BGMtXw[/video]
