Description
Mini Crack Yak 55: 24-Inch EPP Mini Series
The Mini Crack Yak 55 brings the proven flying character of the original Crack Yak into a compact 24-inch EPP airframe. Its lightweight construction, generous control surfaces, and predictable handling make it ideal for indoor flying, backyard practice, and improving 3D aerobatic skills in smaller areas.
The Mini Crack Yak remains stable and controlled at slower speeds while providing the control authority needed for hovering, harriers, rolling maneuvers, and energetic aerobatics. Its durable EPP construction helps it withstand the everyday bumps and less-than-perfect landings commonly experienced while learning new maneuvers.

So Cool!
I was looking for a small 3-D plane that I could fly in a fairly restricted space in front of my house (a third of a basketball court), and this definitely does the trick! Well designed, precision crafted parts, easy build, and amazingly resistant to the occasional crashes that have already occurred. I have a fairly full hanger with planes of all sizes/types - this one fills a very unique niche in that it is essentially a great alternative to my flight simulator. Thank you, Twisted Hobbies!
