Thanks guys!! Yak5408, I know, Quique's airplanes are some of the best flying planes around. I believe he stopped building them because he partnered up with Hangar9/Horizon Hobby where he designed a nice biplane called the Beast. Would be nice if he brings some of his older designs back!

damafia29, anybody can fly well if you put the time into it!

Stormranger6, A lot of simulator time with a newer RealFlight or Aerofly Pro Deluxe helps with the fundamentals of it before you try in real life.

what name a music ?

@modelistul The first song is Call Me When You're Sober by Evanescence, and the second song is called the Summer Song by Joe Satriani.

Pretty much when you get an airplane in that size, whether it's an Edge or an Extra or Yak, they all will have their own unique characteristics to get accustomed to, but they will be able to do anything you throw at them without a problem. The first time I flew the Yak I was surprised at how easy it was to maneuver and how much more time you have to work with going to a bigger airplane. Whatever choice you make you'll love flying it!

Mavricextreme, Benni0077, and all you guys thanks!

Best Move at 3:05 very good flying. how do you learn to fly like that? what do you recommend?

[damafia29]

nice, i hope i even half way this good in a few years, and a plane even a quarter as good would be nice

anyone know why somenzini went out of buisiness? I had a 50cc version and it was probably the best plane ive ever flown! Amazing video and flying btw!

So how well did your smoke system work with the Moki 1.80? Last spring I was pretty close to buying a Somenzini Yak but all of a sudden Somenzini Aircraft closed or something. I was pretty bummed. After seeing your video I was psyched to get one. Now I am looking for the right airplane with the right price. What other planes do you have besides the 100cc Somenzizni Yak 54?

With full throttle there still isn't quite enough power to hover, I can get it to stay for a couple of seconds but then it starts falling. I haven't flown it for a couple of months because I sold the 1.20 to try to save up for a bigger engine. I really wanted to put a smoke system in but I never got around to it. I have been flying a lot of scale lately with my dad. That's what he really enjoys. It's pretty fun but I am an all out 3D lover!..

@3DShock My Edge had a Moki 180; the airplane was a little heavy with a smoke system in it, but it still pulled well. Most have used either the 1.80 or the 2.10 with pretty good vertical. The 120 is probably a little small for an airplane the size of the Edge, but if you could get it light you could probably make it work. A fellow flyer got an Edge to weigh about 11 lbs with a Saito 180, and at such a low weight it flew unbelievably well. How is the pullout with the 120?
