Homemade Micro YAK

[mrmugen]

Well I am building a yak from scratch. I am using FFF and CF and hinge tape. It measures 20 inches WS and 20 inch length. What do you's think so far? It is for indoor flying at our local armory.

Ah man, I bet that thing will hover and KE like crazy. Local guy at one of our clubs has one that he flies outside when the wind breaks.
The control surfaces on your tail feathers look very generous(mucho fun). I'm wondering about your ailerons. Are you going to want more aileron to match the aggressiveness of your tail feathers? I wish I had a large indoor area to fly in.

Anyway, looks like a lot of fun. Solid, too. Let us know how she flies.

EDIT: Where are you going to put your Rudder servo and linkage? Above or below the horizonal stab? Are you going to have to somehow notch your elevator to allow room?

That looks awesome! Can't wait to see how it flies.

Thanks guy's. All the servo's will be mid fuse. I am waiting on some 4gram servo's to show up. The elevator is going to run on one servo. I made it identical to the set up on my other yak (yellow one). I'll let you know how it flies once maidened. I'll post new pics as it progresses.

I am ordering different servo's....before the others even show up. I found some great stuff here. I like the cf props and the smart servo rc-1. I am ordering 2 of the smart servo's and a few props.
