New version 2, RC Factory Yak 55 with the same awesome performance and a fantastic new colour scheme – the wing in this version is printed on both sides!
Made from EPP, these almost indestructible radio controlled EPP models make ideal 3D and aerobatic trainers and can be repaired very easily with standard Cyano glues. Use normal Cyano for building and repairing your RC Factory EPP models, foam-safe CA is not required for this EPP.
The RC Factory Yak 55 EPP model aeroplane builds in 1-2 evenings and features a composite landing gear, large control surfaces and a unique circular cowl to lend even more character to these stunning 3D EPP planes. Construction is simple, requiring standard cyano (Do not use foam-safe CA). Note that some kickers can cause the print on the foam to become sticky so take care during handling the model to ensure all glue/kicker is dry, or you could end up with mucky finger prints on your plane.
A 150-200 watt power system is recommended, such as the AXi 2217/16 on a 3s battery (800mAh-1,500mAh) and the ever popular 10"x4.7" Slow Fly type propeller. The AXi 2212/26 can also be used if you want to keep the model a little lighter. We use a 1300mAh pack with the 2217/16 and believe this offers excellent balance of weight and duration without loading the model too heavily.
4 servos are required to complete (2 x Aileron, 1 x Rudder, 1 x Elevator). We use the Hitec HS-55 but any 9-12g servo is adequate. You might prefer to use something with a metal-gear for the rudder. Thread is included for pull-pull on rudder and elevator. Some people prefer the heavier HS-65MG for all surfaces, though we have had no problems using the HS-55 in our setups.
