anyone flown the Rehab yet?

I have. I've crashed it too. The EPP parts just take it in stride and assuming you don't break the prop, or really stuff it in hard, you just go fly some more. Great little airplane.

I think I like the looks of their other EPP bird...the Angelfire?

i'm really stoked to try out one of Mike's 32" EPPs.

The Rehab should be a winner. I wish Mike came out with it about 6 mo's earlier. It was just what I was looking for at that time. I bought a Crack Yak from Twisted Hobbies instead. It is quite obvious that the Rehab is built along the same platform and is VERY similar in design. the Crack Yak is a great flyer, but still has some issues that I am sure the Rehab will not have. Especially with the use of Depron in the important parts.

Yes, I like the Crack Yak, but when it wears out I will replace it with a Rehab. I know it will do the job!

Neat thing about this size and style of model. You can throw it in the trunk of your car and take it with you and fly almost anywhere. Also, It doesnt mind a stiff breeze! Must have something to do with the wing design.

Thanks. What were the issues with the Crack?

This is a testament to how solid DW foamies are. I was 20 feet in the air when I lost connection with the receiver, still need to figure out what happened there, and the pic is the end result. Good news is the only thing that happened is the prop broke. Not a dent in the plane, just some mud.

Denver Jayhawk.

Crack Yak issues are very minor. Full EPP on the Crack Yak seems very sensitive to climate changes. The fuse seems to expand and shrink when the temperature changes, thowing the trim off considerably. I don't own a DW Fusion, only 9mm depron and it never changes shape and holds it's trim in all weather types.
Other than that, the Crack Yak is a great little airplane. But I like the idea of the Depron in various places along with the epp on the Rehab!

I'm actually liking my Techone milled sbach I got for xmas more. It flies so true and straight.
The CYLs are snappy, but have issues with warped foam near the rudder. I thought it just might be MY builds(2 of them) but I noticed it's the same on ALL CYLs. Both need quite a bit of left rudder trim. They are however just about as good as you can get with EPP...I'm just a fan of depron.

I wasn't shocked to see a REHAB come out after the CY.

A couple friends and I were joking about it about a week before it came out.. Irony

Oh yes, the Crack Yak rudder warp. Yep, mine is too. Just have to trim it out., but it is a pain and doesnt happen with depron.

got everything ready for the expo tomorrow!

Good job, have a good time and tell Mike I said hello.
