The Yak-12? Oh, yes, I've got that one. Don't remember where I got it, it wasn't at that site though. (If it was where I think, they seem to be dead now, so I don't know if it's still obtainable at any English-language site.) It's very nice. Excellent quality modeling.
The instruments are in Russian and there's lots and LOTS of switches - and, like most of the better Russian models, this one starts with a dead panel, you have to manually switch everything on - and so you have to study the documentation pretty closely. But it's a nice plane and worth the trouble if you like that sort of aircraft.
The quality of FS planes coming out of Russia has definitely improved. I can remember when you were lucky to find one with a VC at all. Now you can get them with just about state of the art interior modeling. I just wish some top Russian designer would go back and do some good models of their twenties and thirties aircraft. There were some truly remarkable ones.

I've had this for awhile also - looks great and worn out - just right for Kansas! Good to see it posted again. Always enjoyed flying it, even though I haven't flown it since the summer time - always had problems keeping it running and when it quits it quits. Could never figure out how to keep it cool and/or restart it - and the documentation I have is in Russian. If anyone knows what the specs are or how to keep it cool without turning it into a glider - I would greatly appreciate knowing!!  Dan …it’s great being a kid again – without the glue! ;D |
