Yak-44

45.5k Sgtk  7.5 years ago

For @Melojam. Down and dirty model of the Yak-44. A proposed Soviet Electronic Warfare bird similar to the U.S. E-2 Hawkeye. Naval based, designed to be used aboard carriers. The Soviet Union collapsed before the project could be completed and it was abandoned. Flaps on it, but you don't really need them for takeoff. Hard to port with rudder as the torque from the dish likes to make her turn. Not sure what to do about that, but she flies, and looks pretty doing it. Thanks for stopping by to look, and enjoy your flight!!
