I hope those lights work Mr Veasey.
Good effort all the same.
Makes all the difference from a 'that will do' model.

Think they are long exhaust tubes that need cutting down a bit. :)

What is it with amateur videos, hold the bloody camera properly and keep pointing at the image, not rocket science. Very lucky pilot, but I did see the skid marks on the runway :D

Hi Guys.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Well even the rotten British weather didnt stop us getting the 3rd Willis Yak in the air on Sunday, only had a Quick flight between the heavy rain showers but happy to report that apart from a dodgy igition module connection ( Thanks Fighterboy For Saving The Day ) she flew a treat needed a bit of aileron trim and she was hands off.

I have glassed and sprayed mine which means that it is quite a bit heaver than Chris and Kens, but it still flys ok, i think it is about 26 1/2 Lbs, still need to double check on some decent scales.

Cant wait for a decent day now to get some more flights in.

Crikey Greg thats looking good,much more scale detail than we have bothered with but good on you!

Cheers Wolfie
