Well it finally has happened and it was my stupid fault, the battery come loose and I lost all power and down she come and I could only stand and stare like an idiot!:eek:
It only broke in the fuse area and broken prop, I will repair her as she is a good bird and deserves better, should work out ok I hope!
I will now strap the battery on like ya suppose too!

Sorry to hear that Joe! :(
Dude, i would repair it and mount it on the wall in your hanger, and remember the good times! :p
You were really starting to wind that bird up too, was good to see...... Can understand why your heart is broken.

I am ordering a 540 for my bro in the next week or 2, you want me to get another Yak whilst i am at it?
You said last time we met at the field you wanted Vinyl Decals for it....nows your chance :o

Anyways, good luck with it.

Mick

p.s, i'll wear a black arm band in rememberance when i fly my Yak tomorrow! :P

:) All is good again:) I have glued her up using polyurethane glue on the inside and CA on the outer skin and it worked out great!
I have test flown her twice and flies no different than before, will need to keep on checking the repaired area for any signs of cracking but it should be ok.
All that is left to do is make up some new stickers for the side of this bird as the originals got destroyed, have purchased some vinyl black and yellow decal material and cutting out the original shape of the yak decal with a slight change, will post pics of finished plane soon.
