From reading the posts here on RCU many of the BME Yaks and the TOC Yaks are coming in at 17 pounds. With a wing area of 1350 square inches that is a wing loading of 29 ounces/ sq ft. that is with a DA-50. If this airplane comes in at 18 pounds with a MVVS 58 or ZDZ 80 and the wing area as advertised is correct that gives a wing loading of 28.66 ounces/ sq ft. Those sound like pretty good numbers to me and the power would be excellent with the MVVS or the ZDZ. But it remains to be seen if the numbers quoted from Lanier are correct, we can only hope.

Really? I think that the wing area and span is right on with everything else out there but other than that[:'(]
Compared to all the other planes out there it is like 2lbs overweight. Not to mention every other plane has only 1 aileron servo. You should only need one and if you need 2 the aileron is probably weak and if they build the aileron weak what about the rest of the plane?
Coming in at 16 1/2lbs is still a little bit heavy for the wing area and with a DA50 wich is probably what you need for that weight, it would probably be just a little underpowered. Lanier hasnt built any good light 3d ships like TOC Or EF or BME or Carden Or aeroworks ....
but maybe I am rong or maybe you just want to fly IMAC but $100 more is well worth it for a plane that is just as bbig and 2lbs lighter.
