Default Yak-54 Build and Q&A

It's official my Yak is on the way and I plan on doing another build thread like I did with the Ultimate. I think this one will go alot quicker because I am very adapt at building these mono wing ARF aircraft. I spoke with Tom on the phone and we breifly discussed what hardware I should use. I didn't order the Hardware Kit because I already have several of the below items on hand.

FWIW, there is another thread that is already in the process of being written. I plan on adding as much information as I can. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_37..._2/key_/tm.htm

Here is my plan of what I am going to install.

Dubro Heavy Duty Dual Pull-Pull System .91 & Up
Dubro Heavy Duty Control Horn System
Dubro S20 Square Fuel Tank 20 oz.
Dubro Gas Conversion Stopper
Dubro Axle Shaft 3/16x2"
Dubro Dura-Collars 3/16"
Sullivan SkyLite Wheel 3-1/2" Kinda wondering if 3.5" is to big for this plane. When it arrives I can judge it and see.

I will build my own connecting rods from Stock that I already have.

The plane will have a DA 50 for power with a Sullivan exhaust system.
Servos will be as follows:
JR 8611 - Rudder
HiTec 5945MG for all other surfaces.
Throttle and choke will be off the shelf standard servos. TBD
Electrical power will come from Duralights and Fromco.


You can count on lots of photos when I get it going.

If anyone else wants to add information during the build please feel free. I figure there is never enough information to go around.
