MIKE SENT THIS INFO OVER ON THE MODEL –
Scratch built model at 1:3.2 scale to match Jon Horne’s Airworld Yak 11.
A mix of traditional materials and composite parts ie cowling, canopy, carbon fibre fuselage doublers and +/- 12G mainspar joiner for the two piece wing.
Bespoke spinner and backplate.
Unitract main U/C units with bespoke CAD oleos CNC milled. Detachable tail surfaces on carbon tube/spars.
27kg hauled into the air with a 3W motoren 150 inline twin, twin spark, on a 32/12 or 10 prop.
She’s on rails and after ten years of flying my Spitfire’s I’m feeling that the full-size Yak could probably out manoeuvre a MK9.
Futaba twin receivers and savox servos all around,
