Well Chuck,

Looks like I beat you to the punch! :yes:

Got my Extreme Flight Yak 55 SP electric profile at 2:00pm today. Took me only 3 hours to put this bad boy together. Epuipment is as follows:

4 Hitec HS-55 servos
Hitec Micron 6 receiver
Razor 350
GWS gear box
GWS 12x6 propellor
1200 mah lipoly

Robbed all this stuff from one of my beat up foamies! I expected this thing to tip the scales at 16 plus oz! However I was pleasantly supprised when it only came in at 14 oz including battery! Should get to fly this thing tomorrow. I let ya know how it does. Not sure if I can let Jess fly it since he has been showing his ass a lot lately!

Here are the photos.

I didn't know you had a foamy, shouldn't come as a surprise, everybody has a foamy nowdays...

You know Jess.. "Give!" "Give!"

Got mine today too. Should have it ready tomorrow. It is a clean airplane, nicely finished and well thought out.

Chris told me yesterday on the phone he bought 500 :wink:
Looks like they have been selling well and will probably sell out quick once more positive flight reports/reviews are in.

Fedex delivers to my house while I'm home for lunch! Neener neener!!!

Looks very nice, I swear the bag the wing was in weighed more than the wing. No shipping damage, just excellent.

Hi guys.

Yeah they are going FAST. Chris say's he can barely keep up with the shipping. 60-80 a day have left his shop since he has had them in.

I flew mine in our hangar today. AWESOME.

Got mine today and it looks awesome! Super High quality. The carrying case is a nice idea, but the cardboard is flimsy. Don't count on being able to get on an airplane with it.

Here's the plan:

Razor RZ-400
Cobri GB w/ 12 x 6 SF prop
Pheonix 25
GWS 4P Receiver
Cirrus 4.4 servos

We're flying in a church gym this winter. Hopefully the wingloading will enable me to fly it in there.
