RE: Rollin' my own 50CC Yak 54

DT, Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on that but for now I am focusing my energy on the fuselage. As I mentioned before, I have an EF Yak 54 87" and will probably borrow some ideas from it, including the airfoil.

Brent, nice job on your build! I'll be interested to hear the flight report. Good luck on your yak project...is that mvvs gas or glow? I am going to try and design this airplane extremely light and hopefuly I'll be able to beat my EF Yak by 1/2 lbs or so which would put it around 14 3/4 lbs with a DA50 on the nose!

Here is where I am currently...just getting the shape of the fuse, cowl and canopy out of the way before I start building up the formers.

Cheers,

John
