Hi Thintz, Thanks for your videos. A small question. You have built 2 YAK 54, from Pilot-RC and Flex-Innovation. Which of the two models was the easiest to fly.Which of the models has the highest quality?One of the two models must be my first "big" model.Looking forward to hearing from you. with best regards
The Pilot version is the better plane for me. They make good quality planes and it flew very well. I believe the Flex Innovations Yak has been discontinued which is never a great sign.
thintz12 I just finished buildig that plane! While measuring the rudder movement, i realized that the Elevator and the wingtip on the right side are around 1cm higher then the left side. Is that to counter the engine force? Or is that a construction mistake?
I'm not sure how you are leveling the plane in the first place to make sure you are getting a real difference. Either way, contact the Flex Innovations folks for the real answer. They are great people and the ones answering the questions actually did the development flights so they KNOW their planes!
Hey im new to the channel but the vids are great. And you explain everything so well.
Not for sale? bummer.. Great vid man always enjoy your content!
its sad they dont sell this anymore.. maybe they were having too many issues with it
That could be. I am planning to take mine out this morning to see if moving the CG foward has any impact on it. Still VERY touchy on the elevator.

YAKIDY YAK!!!😎
Whats wrong with the stab? angle? i Have this plane myself. Soon ready for maiden.
Mine had a warped elevator but Flex Innovations replaced the whole stab set to avoid trying to cut the elevators out and re-use the stabs themselves.
ok, i see. my elevators look ok so i hope everything is normal. Thanks for the fast reply.
Is the elevator solid piece balsa or is it built up?
Built up
hi you change your Stabs twice?
i have a lot of down trim to flight straight
thanks
No, changed the stabs once, did the video work over several days and just mentioned the stabs twice.
