H C Quek's Yak 9d

[t michael jennings]

Gentlemen,

This is my latest Control Line Stunter.  Have not got it into the air. 
The Yak 9d is a slightly modified (by myself) H C Quek aircraft. The model was published in Aero Modeller in Feb 1971.  This is a Way Stand-Off Scale.

You will notice the Pilot in the cockpit is a shifty looking lad.  Be very careful if you happen on the same circle.

Also, attached is the actual Yak 9d aircraft the paint scheme is taken from.

You are the man, no doubt....what a great looking plane! Now if you could just find a certain different hat I will one day have a Yak......I've dreamed about building one like yours and have actually bid high on a great kit, but still lost. Keep us posted on your progress.....
