Headed out the the field early this morning to test fly the Yak. As usual I get the butterflies and a little nervous on the first flights. It was a little windy with a steady speed of approx. 15-20 mph. This is normal condition at our field and waiting a little bit the wind dies and its perfect for smaller electric models. After final checks, everthing was ready to go, I taxied out to the runway.
The Yak took off with almost 1/2 throttle and climbed out nice and straight. No trim was needed and the plane flies like a charm. Slow flight is perdictable and easy to handle. At the low rates she rolls, snaps, and manuvers quite well. I did not fly the Yak at full throws yet, and will after several flights. Over all this has been a great ARF with great handleing, and has been a pleasure to build and fly. I will add later reports as time goes on, until next time...
