The field has been leveled and extended. Thanks to Dick, we no longer have dandelions at the field. The weed removal service was paid for through a special $20 payment from all club members willing to chip in. If you paid, thank you. If you are just finding out about it, please consider paying $20 to Dick as we are still $100 in the red as of May 24th 2013.

This is a 50cc size model that originally had a 60cc Brillelli gas engine installed. The Hacker A60-18L running on 12S LiPo is a popular setup for this class and it powers this model very well. With a weight of 20 lb performance is not quite 3D but it does aerobatics effortlessly at half to three-quarters throttle.
After flying a GP 70″ Revolver for the past year as an intermediate/aerobatic trainer, I found the Yak comparatively easy to fly and land. Of course, it doesn’t sound “manly” like Brian’s Brillelli-powered sister ship! But that’s the subject of another post…
