How do you do the milling?

I'm happy to hear that you like it, they fly extremely well but what I like the most is the endurance and the low cost. I just bought a template made by a sign company, cost me $100.00 and I use a dremel milling bit with a plexiglas base. I'm actually building a CNC gantry router, I just ordered the electronics for it today, I'll post pictures of it later. If you're interested in the dremel and template, I'll post some pics of the setup.

Gaston,

Bsed on your paint scheme, I think you should call this one "participYAKction"

That's a good one, thanks for the tip.. that's just to illustrate the exercise I'm getting every time I have to run and retrieve my plane after I land inverted or hit something.

Thanks to Colin, Steve, Emmanuel, Jason and Reg. from North Bay for coming up to fly with us at our gym, we had a wonderful time and awesome flying demos. Colin gave us some amazing heli and airplane flying, I think mine is defective from the factory because I can't do most... I mean all of this.. Steve did some very good flying with his and my foamy, he didn't even hit a thing...lucky I guess, actually he's an excellent flyer
we're looking forward to see you guys again soon.

Before showing this muvee I just wanted to thank Colin and the boys that came down from The Bay. Colin treated us to a visual performance that will not be forgotten. Unfortunately he is so fast with a helicopter that the majority of the pictures are a blurr. If anyone tells you that you cannot land a heli inverted and then take off again, without crashing, don't beleive them. Colin proved it can be done when his main rotor hit the floor.

Also I could not resist messing with a few photos in the muvee, Sorry Giselle....

Thanks again for the beautiful pictures, I'd hide from Giselle if I were you for a while.

A few pics from the bunch of us in Timmins!
The Yak is a winner for sure!
Hopefully we'll get down to YSB soon

Hi
How does that Lazy Bee perform, one of our members want an easy plane to fly, that might do the trick.

The lazy bee is awesome! very gentle and slow! That one is the Mk2 version. It's running a Turnigy 1811 2000kv motor, rudder and elevator. It is a 26" wingspan.Its got a bit of glue on it now and is getting heavy, but the next one I will try to mill out and not use so much glue in the wing dihedral joint!
