Default YAK54/55-KIT-ARF-120" max-anybody?

Does anybody make a YAK54/55 ARF more suitable for the 150-160cc engines than the Compositte ARF model? The YAK54/55 is really starting to grow on me. I like the wing right on the engine thrust line and no dihedral, knife edge must be so great. If not able to find them that size, I guess I'll just have to stick to 50-60cc engines and get the ExtremeFlight 87" Yak54. If that plane flyes at least as well as their 67" Yak54 does on their video, I am hooked.

Hi

We are in the prototype stage of a 35% composite YAK 54, please contact me if you want more information.

We have the first prototype of a 107" Yak for 100cc engines. Should be ready to fly in a week or so. I'll post some photos and a flight report soon. Hope to have it flying by the time Wayne comes down.

I snipped this from a thread in the 3D flying section. It looks like Chris is developing a larger version of the YAK-54...

Aerotech is working on a 40-42% YAK. I'm not sure on availability, but
they have been testing the prototypes. chris

I am flying a Composite-ARF YAK-55SP with a DA-150 & PEFA Canisters and the aircraft is just wonderful to fly. The DA will hover the YAK at 1/3 throttle and there is plenty of power for IMAC & 3D. The YAK flies so precise with no coupling of any kind. I have over 150 flights with not a problem. Its a large aircraft, but so much fun to fly.
