The Yak 54 is truly a popular design in the actual and RC aerobatic plane scene. And, the YAK 54 EP ARF from Carl Goldberg Products won't disappoint as well. With it's 40" wingspan and designed for brushless electric propulsion, this plane is built light but still uses quality wood construction. The two-piece wings and airframe are nicely covered with excellent graphics to help keep you oriented when flying. This aerobatic performer is designed for the more advanced pilots, but could be flown with help from an experienced flyer. And, as you start to learn 3D manuevers, the aerilons designed for two independent servos will have the control you need to make those precise stunts look easy. So, if you are ready to move up from a sport flyer, this maybe your next plane as you start to enjoy the exciting world of 3D aerobatic flight. The recommended brushless motor is the Electrifly Rimfire 35-30-950 out-runner and it has been reported that this combination performs well for this plane.
