Got my Yak 54 3D from bombayrc last Saturday. Beautiful plane and  finish. Its always a sweet moment to open an ARF package and see the gleaming finish of the kit and this one was gleaming Smiley

I choose the OS 70 4 stroke engine to put on it and its near completion to be test flown. Will update with pictures soon

Had a very short flight on the yak as the engine wasnt working properly because of the fuel tubing cut in the tank. It was only working at 1/2 throttle and above.

The take off was ok and took it up did very minor trim and soon it was flying level enough to go for a quick vicious SNAP roll and once that was done to see its potential i lined it up for a quick landing as i dint want a dead stick. Landing is very peaceful and i almost did a 3 pointer.

Standby for a detailed test flight and video report

hello sunil.

Models really looks very nice, is it Phoenix.  It seems it is excellent for unlimited 3Ds and also for normal sunday flying.  what are the servos and Rx battery used on it.  We are waiting for test flight reports and videos.

Finally got some good flights out of the Yak and the first flight felt underpowered. The plane is quite sweet to fly and in the 2nd flight with 5% flew much better. I good some good moves out of the plane and the KE came is sweetest ever. I could do then 20Ft from the ground.

I will be adding the cowl and making it a little tail heavy for next sessions for more 3D style flying. I think its a good plane but is delicate and needs such handling.

Couldnt be happier  Roll Eyes Cheesy

The Build of the plane is delicate in the sense i doubt it will take any hard knocks. Its mostly stringer construction for the fuse. and the rest is all laser cut.

The Finish of the plane is very good. The covering is not very thick but its colorful and done well. The corners are all done in properly. The covering is little tacky as it had bubbles and wrinkles in it when it was in the car while taking home.

**Update on the covering ... The covering is getting wrinkles in regular weather. Surprising none of my other planes do that.

The flight characterstics of the plane are good and I am just getting started on it.  I think the ideal engine would be a 90 4 stroke.

For those who may have missed the struck off yak54 in my hangar, the short of it was I crashed the plane trying to recover it from a flat spin. It went into the grass and the front of the plane disappeared Smiley. Actually all the formers of the plane were made of 2mm ply and like i had said earlier these ARFs are pretty to look at not too resilient to hard knocks  Roll Eyes

Anyway not to let the plane go that easy I set about designing the formers in CAD and then getting them laser cut. If you gotta do it ... do it with a flourish  8-).

Here are some pics of the parts and the finished frame.

Actually it got me thinking and I am thinking of designing and building another kit/plane maybe a big 90/120 edge Katana or something. Getting back to basics will keep me occupied for the next 3-4 months Smiley
