Status: offline 		Hello Aerotech. Glad you finally got a support forum as I have heard really good thing about the aircraft you sell. I have got an issue with all the new Yaks coming out. Between you, EF, BME, TOC and the KMP/Ebay Yaks, there is plenty to chose from. I have narrowed my decision down to the Aerotech Yak and the BME Yak. I really like the color scheme on your plane. And when I say really like, I mean that I dont think I could have dreamed up a better scheme. Basically I want to know what to expect weight wise. I know It says 16 pounds on the website, but I dont know what equipment was used in it. What could I expect weight wise if I used say a DA 50 (average weight for a 50cc) a single 2200 Li-ion on reciever and Ignition and lightweight accesories. Could I get it in the Sub 15.5 pound range. Thanks in advance.

Status: offline 		Hello,

Thanks for the compliment on our products. We try very hard. Our Test Yak had the following:

DA50 w/K&S header with flex connector and a Pefa cannister
24oz Tank
Fromco Batterys with regulators
Rudder 8611a
Hitech 5945's
Futaba reciever and switch's
Dubro wheels

Weight RTF 16.65lbs

I think 15.5 is light with the size of the plane. At our weight, it performed awesome as the video shows. I hope this helps and we look forward to serving you.

Thanks

John

Status: offline 		Thanks for the information. I will be running a stock muffler, so I should be able to save a 1/2 pound or so over the cannister. I would also probably order or make a carbon fiber gear for it mainly because I love the look but also save a couple ounces. Also maybe save a couple more with a carbon wing tube. But then again I may keep the aluminum gear for durability issues. But other than that that is bassically how mine will be setup. I just want the best flying plane possible, and the lighter, the better. From the information I have gathered though, this seems to be a little better plane than the BME. I will place my order for one in the morning. Thanks again for the help.

Status: offline 		I placed my order for the Yak. I got an engine and battereis on the way. I was just wondering what hardware comes with the plane, if any? And also what size pushrods will I need. I either gonna run the H9 Titanium prolinks or carbon rods with titanium ends to save a little weight here and there. I'm gonna run an MVVS 45 magnesium case with a pipe and try to have the plane weigh in at under 16 pounds. Actually Im gonna try to hit 15.5, but running a pipe that may be harder to do. Anyway Im looking forward to recieving this plane.

The kit comes with a Ins. Panel, control horns, tailwheel assy, hinges, all the nuts bolts etc. You need to get wheels, axles, fuel tank, tubing etc. minor stuff left to get.

Thanks
John

Status: offline 		I'm thinking of running smoke on mine with my DA-50 and would like to use a cannister. What is the prochedure for smoke with cannisters? Should the nipple be installed in the header just in front of the cannister?
