For this year, togehter with Gernot Bruckman, we have preparred some changes for our YAK 55 M.
We get a lot of ideas and experienes about the YAK55M from our pilots untill now. Airplane is very good for pattern and 3D flying too. A lot of pepoles like it because is very very clear. So we took this ideas and made some small changes with his set up and material use too. Now we get stronger and lighter airplane will still more better fly characteristis.
Perhaps the most welcomed change is we have started to use wing tube instead of wing spar. This the wing in more stronger because inside are two wing spars. Anodized aluminum tube will provide even more strength, then spar.
So no more spars stickng out of wing bags.
We are also introducing new 3D ailerons. About 30% more area then regular ones, center hinged and removable.But this comes with a “price”. 4 high torque servos ( JR 8711) per aileron are needed. This way for all which love 3D flying .... roll with this the wings is Amazing !
Also please note that 3D ailerons can only be made to a new set of wings at the time of your order. Unfortunately these cannot be fitted into excisting wings with spars!!
And at last, new color designs for 2010 were just introduced. Just click on YAK 55 37%.
