i bought the yak 55 online from hobby lobby.It came in good shape and was easy to build.I used mostly electronic parts from I ordered from hobby king , a company out of hong kong.I installed a fc 28-22 brushless outrunnerat 1200 rpm/v with a 3 mm shaft and a 10x4.7 inch prop.this combo produces about 745 grams of trust.Allso used hobbykings hxt 500 5gram 10 sec micro servos.I used a bigger speed controler than was recomended but only weighed17 grams.This was the thunderbird 18 amp brushless speed controler, by castle creations.It comes with the brake set off as default, witch is great for 3-d flying .Allso using hobby kings 1000 mah 3 cell zippy lipo.all my planes use spectrum recievers and transmiter.This plane flys great,but reinforce the elevator with carbon fiber.Its tricky to land without breaking because it has no wheels.You have to harrier land.Very fast.knife edges,waterfalls,flat spins,harriers,hovers,its does it all without much flex.heres vidio link . I just built another one ,i liked the first one so much. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBG8tLYIiu0

park zone makes some reall nice flying planes.The typhoon,the typhoon.2,the strykers,and many more.The only problem is with there ready to fly versions.The remote systems are not that good.I purchased a typhoon 2 ready to fly ,did range test that went fine.But sure enough it glitched with magor results.I bought more parts and tryed again at diferent park this time ,only to have the same thing happen again.!!I then realized the importance of a glitch free system as an investment ,to save my planes and money on crashes that werent my fault.Friends I fly with have allso had this problem who have bought ready to fly.I ended up with a spectrum DX6 system that has been great .NO glitching.So know when I crash I know its my fault.Again the best investment you can make.Vidios below show typhoon in action with specrtum system
