Alright guys, I need to enlist your help in picking me out a nice Yak airframe. I want it to be very 3D capable with a Saito 100-150 or YS 110-140 so it probably needs to be less than 11lbs. with a wing span of 65"-73".

Check out the Cermark 25% scale series 70"

Which one are you talking about? I really like the red, yellow, and white one, I believe this is the old version, but it shows to be out of stock.

Thats the one. We just finished up a review of one, it flew very well.

I have a Aeroworks yak 90-120 with a Saito 150 and its awesome. I also have a Seagull 90 yak with a Saito 125 and its almost as good as the Aeroworks but is not as criisp hoPE that helps.

I am leaning towards the Cermark 25% Yak (Yellow, Red, and White colors) but they show to be out of stock and since there is a new version they may not build anymore? Can anyone recommend an online site that carries Cermark planes?

Evidently this is the older version of the Peak Model Yak54. Here's the link to the latest.

Also, check out the thread in this forum on the plane.

I purchased one recently, and received it from China in less a week. I used most of the hardware.

Both of those links are broken. I do not like the new version, orange or blue with checker board, but do like the older version, red,yellow,white. Does anyone know where I may find the older version in stock? What is up with Cermark and Peakmodels, are they the same company? Why can I never access Peak Models website?

I'm not sure if this is too heavy for your engine choice...

Blazer1

My Feedback: (1)

That is a very nice Yak but it is a little bigger than I want and more expensive than others I have been pricing. I really want to be at or under 10lbs. AUW. I would probably go gas on the Extreme Flight Yak and I want to build one more glow powered plane before venturing into gas.

jamesrxx951

go with gas it's cheeper to buy the engine and run. mld 28 vess 18/6 prop 8100 rpm

My Feedback: (1)

If I go gas I will build a bigger plane, 35%-40%, I am comfortable with glow and for know want to stay with it. Like I said earlier my next plane will be a large gasser but for now I want to build one more glow plane. This Yak will be my excuse to try a YS engine. I have never owned a YS and have always wanted one.

I have the following engines on planes;
.46 Evolution
.56 Saito
.82 Saito
.100 Saito

It seems the next step should be a large glow and I want it to be a YS 110 or 140, then I will move onto gas and never look back.

There is a seller on here (RCU) that is selling 30% yak DL55 combo it is a peakmodel. I like yourself had troubles getting the sites to work and pm'd him off the listing for the yak I just mentioned. He sent me a link but it was chinese or something and it didn't work for me. Maybe you could contact him and he could help you out.

My understanding (limited as it may be) is that Peak Model planes are sold under various names.

I haven't had problems getting to their site. If the link doesn't work, just go to www.peakmodel.com

I haven't seen the 'older' one so I can't compare them.

Aeroworks 90-1.20 Yak all the way Flys excellent with a YS110, OS120AX or a Evolution 26. Probably others but those are the ones I've tried.

My Feedback: (1)

That link does not work for me either, says "Oops link appears broken". Is there some magic password?

Paul Wise

you can send emails to them.

I think Aero-works is the ticket here - for a 'nice' yak that will fly well with a YS 110. It's hard to find a quality yak that is big enough to fly well and yet light enough to power with a reasonable size glow engine.

I have it narrowed down to two choices, either the Peak Model 25% Yak, (Red, Yellow, White), or the Peak Model 25% Sukhoi SU 26. How much difference will there be in the way these two airframes fly? Which one would you guys choose and why?

Jetdesign

My Feedback: (8)

The Yak is longer, has a bigger wingspan, is the same weight (lighter wing loading), is less expensive, and looks better

Blazer1

My Feedback: (1)

You make a strong argument for the Yak, gaRfield!! I am on the fence in the looks department though, I kind of like the yellow SU 26.

Jetdesign

My Feedback: (8)

I think you should get the one you like best. They probably fly very similar.

Joe, the reason I didn't mention the EF 74" is weight and engine size range he specified.

I have both the Cermark, which is sold by a number of places and built by ARF MFG in China, and the EF. The EF has a 46 gasser and is balistic especially with the control throw you can get out of it.

But I really like the 70" for its size, performance, and cost.

Aero Works 1.20 Yak-54! It is the best plane I have ever flown! Great quality also!
