Nice classic Yak 50 scheme Gregg/Ted, who ever you are these days!
Cant wait to see you fly yours mate, its been a while since you had somthing to throw about like you used to.
Vary pleased with mine, a bit like flying a Cap or Extra really except it wont bite!.
Just hurry up.

Well done to Willy Warbird for flying his yesterday aswell.
M.L and S.W. are advancing well with theirs. So that should be at least 5 now for next year.

I've always liked the scheme (simple like me!) and I've been after another largeish aerobat for some time to chuck about. Will get it done as quick as I can, with the help of the skilled one of course ..... as always!

At this rate guys we will have another racing team on our hands well done Chris it looks like you are on to a winner there. Now is anybody going to do a build article on one of these beauties for the Journal?

[Mike Booth]

Been talking to Steve Holland in his plywood bunker via wireless.
This is his chosen scheme.
What a slot this will be. I think it's mandatory ZG 62's.
Might have water methanol injection on mine.

There's another pic for you Gregg. Good man.
It might be worth starting a dedicated team Yak thread so we can exchange notes and build.
Willy is retiring to the Urals and subcontracting to Russian foam cutters.
I'll do a build report for you Dave. Supermarine works have been contracted to build three at once.

[chris willis]

Thought we would pull away from the peoples projects and start a new thread. yak 50s are us

Think Mike's right, there's enough on this to warrant it's own thread.
A few of us had been thinking about buiding a Yak 52 but whilst at one of the Tibenham flyins in June Chris, Ken and myself were able to get up close to two of the Aerostars Yak 50's an got the opportunity to get lots of photo's and to talk to the pilots. That was it, with lots of smoke and the grinding of rusty brain cells an idea was thought and talked about all weekend. The aim was to design and build 1/4 scale Yak 50's an then form a display team to replicate as best as possible the routine flown by the Aerostars. Chris at Willis Warbirds set about the design in September and the team has been dubbed the "1/4 Stars". Just recently Kens model flew first followed by Chris machine a couple of weeks later.
For the display there can only be a maximum of 6 at any one time but as we all know in modelling there's always going to be things to challenge it, so it's good that plenty of our close friends are keen to play too.

Maybe some clever person(thats you Mr Parry) could move the relevent threads from the peoples projects onto this thread

That's Great Mike, I will look forward to it. I also think it would make a great slot at the shows.

[chris willis]

Sent you an email dave. have all the info so will put it together and send you it next week. mike is building 3. And he will do the forum bit
chris.

[chris willis]

Although I'm building one I don't expect to be part of the team. However, I will take it to the shows for the ground display and either dad or I could fly it with you guys if you were short on numbers for any reason.
