Welcome to Jazzy's Flight Deck!

Are you a beginner RC airplane flier? If you are, I hope to provide valuable information to help you get off the ground! RC flying can be very frustrating, and this is quite normal, so don't let it stop you from enjoying this wonderful hobby! Once you get your plane up there, I promise you will be happy you did it! Please let me know if there's anything you'd like to see here or if you have any questions.

Aircraft listed in bold now have mini-reviews and/or videos.

Over and out!

Yak-55


Hobby-Lobby Yak-55 with a carbon fiber landing gear from another plane. I built this plane exactly as the instructions say, with no extra bracing - it was fragile.
Motor: Himax 2812-890 - almost too zippy for this plane.
Battery: Thunder Power 900mAh 3-cell
ESC: Castle Creations Thunderbird 18
Servos: 3x Hitec HS55
Prop: 10x4.7 APC Slow Flyer
RX: Castle Creations Berg 4L - 4 channel micro receiver, very good 72MHz.




This is my new one... all taped up and ready to go :)
This plane is completely covered with packing tape - this adds a ton of durability (See first video) but it also adds weight.
Motor: Hobby-Lobby 400XT - almost too zippy for this plane.
Battery: Thunder Power 900mAh 3-cell (or a 730 mAh 3-cell)
ESC: E-Flite 10-amp brushless
Servos: 3x Hitec HS55
Prop: 10x4.7 APC Slow Flyer
RX: Spektrum AR6100e.
