Description
NEW!!! Generation III 102" Yak54
I have been flying the Yak for some time
now, and its characteristics are so user friendly, that we decided
to put it into service double duty...an amazing, very refined aerobatic/3-D machine, along with the ability to tow up to 35lb scale
sailplanes....a very amazing Tow Plane. We had pioneered this
idea for a number of years ago when we saw specific use tow planes
being flown only seldom. With the addition of our machined tow release
mechanism, the safety factor of using a high performance aerobatic
ship became a reality.
The Yak , with a DA 100 tows with authority,
and is very reliable, yet any intermediate/ advanced pilot
can effortlessly tow, and learn to fly aerobatics as well. The
landing characteristics are very slow, and predictable, yet when
it comes time to fly aerobatics, there is none finer....
Building
upon the high performance design of the original 102” Yak and the “Somenzini
Signature Series” Generation II ARF, the Generation III
features a variety of enhancements to quality and design. While the overall
design remains the same to offer the industry leading performance, we listened
to our customers and have refined areas to provide a higher quality finish and
assembly improvements. We've also enhanced some of the structural elements to
withstand even the most demanding 3D and freestyle routines.
Among the
many improvements that Generation II brought were enhanced covering application,
tighter tolerances in flight surfaces and beveling, improved canopy hatch
attachment, and more...
The NEW Generation III Yak 54
ARF features foam-free technology, plug and run canister design, new
canopy structure design for longer life that includes a thin foam pad on the
canopy back for reduced vibration and noise. The new Generation III includes
removable, clear Side Force Generators and is available in the new QS 120"
scheme.
Of course, the Generation III Yak offers the same top
quality features you've come to expect like plug-in wings and stabs, carbon
fiber wing and stab tubes, carbon fiber tail wheel, quality fiberglass cowl, wing
bags, ball links, titanium pushrods, pull-pull rudder assembly with carbon fiber
rudder servo horn, 800 cc fuel tank and more.
This
ARF kit comes about 97% built. It is beautifully covered with Ultracote film
with a marvelous paint job on the fiberglass parts and canopy. An accurate
assembly and flying manual is also provided. Quique designed this airplane based
on his 37.4% competition Yak-54 that he used to win so many world aerobatic
competitions.
The Yak-54 102” is IMAC legal with room for a canister
muffler system. It is a beautiful design with the right dimensions and an
extremely light air frame. With a 100cc engine it will provide a similar or
better power “feeling” than many of the other 150cc class airplanes on the
market. It is an incredible airplane that will do what ever you want in a
surprising “effortless” manner. The Yak-54 102” feels from the start to be
smooth, powerful and very precise. Absolutely steady at low speed. During 3D
aerobatics you’ll experience the real meaning of “rock solid” when Harrier or
Elevators are performed. You just need to fly it to believe it!
