with that tail i'm guessing 3D is out !

That really looks the part Gary . love that prop.

too me it looks like stall torque roll . looking at the pic of the plane the wing looks too far back , is this in the plan design ? i had a different theory , i since deleted and re edited this post...

you've got to be kidding!!! is that secantogive ? doing kayak laps ?

yep seeing this thing fly it looked just right in every way . never seen a maiden flight look like it was dialled in and fined tuned before , i was impressed with the speed of the snap roll right in...

Just have to check the roster . Pretty sure ill be there .

Mate im no designer but i think the 1st pic without the flares might be ok . As smuzz pointed out previously it is a short rudder . Try it 1st then add the balsa flare and try it again . My bet is it...

well the mark 2 version , was an extreme success . wait till you see the video of this thing. 270km/hr +( tick) ,able to withstand 50g's ( tick) , slippery ( tick) stable ( tick) hand launchable at 1/...

was there this arvo . field and weather was brilliant for flying , i did not notice any water and the strip was mowed .

mate thanks for posting that . thats one very fast plane . !!!!!

hi Chris . as a member of the club , not an instructor or committee person . im probably not the right person to reply to this thread . i think your points and questions are a worthy ask though . ...

this just isn't fair . !!!! we need to swap wives for a while . just for decision making of course . planes like that cost me months of negotiation George .

nice work mate

i cant make saturday . i'm either going to get there sat arvo and hit a motel , for an early start sunday , or leave early from home on sunday for an early start . the latter is looking better as im...

Awe inspiring mate looks fantastic . Love the way you make things . Its great to see how it all comes together .

supurb 3D flying by Michael Wargo . great song too . http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=X4FCM_DX5Wk

such a shame mate . knowing you though the finished product normally comes out better than 1st planned , so i'm sure MKII will be a better than planned result .

a series of short 4 min videos on time , from 1 second on earth to deep time and beyond .well its on the same site as the chinese space flight . http://www.space.com/21642-taikonauts-conduct-scienc...

that was awesome gbanger. thanks

well i think the argument may be settled about 36mhz versus 2.4ghz . but we have to look at the build quality and reliability of such receivers and txs . i for one never ever lost any planes on ...

well im now building one the same . i see you modified a few things . my wings are completed so far . its a very different frame to the yak 55m .

HI BOB. all my batteries have been bought from HK . if they are in stock they'll be fine , and youll receive them . never purchase anything on back order through HK . THE WAIT CAN BE MONTHS !!!!....

weak at the knees . i dont know whats wrong with me . i was talking about the plane too , i think . maybe not . i dont know . thats just a nice page . and i cant afford either option .

what a pitty i cant join you lads on sunday . the edge 540 would be ready for a maiden also . but me i'll be working 2 x 12 hour shifts come the weekend .

Well as most of you would have read . the maiden day of the YAK 55M didnt go to well , and on the 4th flight . it lost signal in air and gave the earth a bit of a rumble . i managed to salvage a...

total flying weight comes in at 5180 grams . approx .

Well Gary . George made me promise that it be different to yours , so i kept the promise . bit of tandem flying might be nice . heres decals fitted .

im in need of some decent battery tie down straps . anyone know where i can purchase some ? i use velcro now . but ive seen better ones .
