if so please share info like CG, Expo N throws

FlyJoe, this one is 43" WS. CG as per manual is from 110mm to 130mm from LE. I set it at 130mm for 3D but still seems like slightly nose heavy for my taste. Once I fix her up, will try moving the CG further back. I flew her on full throws and didnt use any expo. Might add some on ailerons.

And by the way, the HK version of the Techone Yak 54 is this  http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=15302 I have one of those ( http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/hk-epp-yak-54/msg114028/#msg114028 ) Tried with a zippy 1300 and found to be too nose heavy. Will have to order 1000mah and try again.

Dumb thump :( I guess... . I guess I applied the wrong Rudder input or was it the heli hovering over me?  :giggle:

Joe, you were right about the size... sorry I missed it. But this is not the same. The techone is a YAK54 while the HK version is a YAK55. HK do have a copy of the smaller techone yak54 (which I mentioned earlier). And by the way, I will be reaching my beloved country this Thursday morning. Will pm you my mobile number once I get one. Would love to meet you.
