I was lucky enough to get a bit of a sneak preview of the E-Flight Carbon Z yak 54 a couple of weeks before they hit the shops, when the Horizon Hobby UK boys came to Baldock to set up the new models in their rapidly growing range. My first impressions then were of "Wow, that looks like a lot of fun". Distributed to the shops via Horizon Hobby UK, this particular kit came to me as the Bind and Fly version, that is to say that in the box came an 'Bind 'n Fly' (BNF) airframe ready fitted with all airborne radio equipment, motor, speed controller and a four cell 2800Lipo and a charger. All I needed to do was bind this to my shiny new Spectrum DX8, charge the batteries - and fly! The Yak is also available in a 'Plug and Ply' version, which is identical to the BNF one, less the fitted Rx and supplied Lipo battery. The Carbon Z Yak 54 was designed by world champion Quique Somenzini and by the sound of things a lot of development and testing work went into the construction of this model before we get the finished kit to us in the shops.
