Yup, BME yak from PAU huckfest. I won it then sold it pretty much right away. Clean flyer but not good for 3D. I sold it empty fuse not sure of its history after that.

Not good for 3D? That's your Opinion, and you know what there like every body has one, LOL!!! There are a lot of guys that are just starting out that would buy this Yak at THE RIGHT PRICE. for their first larger plane when set up correctly

Tonight I finished up the main wing and the ailerons on my Grasshopper. Major construction is complete. Now for the hard part!

Over all I am very impressed with this kit. I can see myself buying some more kits from Mountain Models in the future. My only gripe is with the instructions and labeling of the parts. Fit and finish was spot on.

I flew mine up until I left Hawaii - I sold it before leaving. I enjoyed flying it.
If this is Terry's raffle prize won at Wenatchee, it was the ARC version, 85" wing span.
Mine was the ARF version II, 87" wing span.

I helped my Grand son build a CO2 car for school over the weekend. A 5th grade project for Boys Club. Monday at school his car won coolest car, and today where they held the races. His car won his race, and was chosen peoples choice and most Unusual Car. Afterwards he was asked if he would build another to put on display at the Boys club Star Base Gallery. So I guess Kasey and I will be building another Killer Whale CO2 Racer. I am a very proud Grand dad and the Smile on his face when he stop by to tell me was PRICELESS !!!
