32" Yak 55 Gold
Delivery and service great. Make sure you can find required glue or order with plane. Colors are washed out.from pictures but boxed well. Looks like easy build after I get right glue.

A Ton of Fun in a Few Ounces!
Wow. This 32 inch Crack Yak is a blast to fly! THe build was easy and fun. I maidened it in 12-15 mph winds and it was F-U-N!!! Easy to fly on 2S, a little screamer on 3S. Does all 3D maneuvers well. Best of all, I have no fear because it is EPP and I am into it for under $125. The perfect plane to hone your 3D skills. Just set the throws and expo to your liking and have at it. I have my eyes on the TH Veloxicty next.

Yak-55 Lots of Fun!
I've been flying my Crack Yak-55 for two years. Talk about Fun!! It's a great 3D and aerobatic trainer. Truthfully I have never crashed my Yak-55 but members of my club have really put them in the ground while honing their skills. The resilience, repair-ability and flying ability make the Yak-55 a winner in my book!

still going
Having owned now 2 of these Crack yak's. I can say they are very hard to kill. These are thick at 10mm and stronger them my lite series which are 8mm thick. My first yak has hundreds of flights and doesn't want to die even though its starting to look ugly lol. Plan to try fpv setup on the older one since its already starting to get heavy. Also I like the newer hardware versus the older wood and z bends. My new kits has the newer hardware and its seems much better with no slop in the controllers.

Crack Yak-55 is the best!
Thank you Twisted for your wonderful products. I fly my Crack Yak with our grand kids on the weekends. I've build many foamie model airplanes over the years and yours are truly the best hands down. We'll be back to order again soon.
