RE: JUST ARRIVED -- SOMENIZED YAK-54, 49" ELECTRIC
Captains log, Saturday March 23, 2007.
Maiden flight report on YAK54-49"
The day was sunny southern ca day however a nice 15m/hr wind with occasional gushing was around for the entire day. I set up the plane pretty much as described in the manual. The plane was maidened with JR10x radio with no mixing programmed. Battery was a 3300 3Cell Lipo pack (per manual rec).
The plane weighted at 51.5 OZ.
Take off smooth and required no trimming for level flight. Inverted flight indicated a perfect CG and required no modifications. Reza from QQ aircraft support was also there that day and performed a flight check and maidened the plane.
Pictures can tell the story. However I really want to make the following points:
I must congradulate QQ aircraft for another truely fined tuned rc airplane this time an electric. If you have any QQ aircraft planes, this yak feels like a 50cc with more stability and behaviour of larger yaks. I felt very comfortable trying different aerobatics and felt real good without any mixing necessary. the power is very adequate and you can get good 10 min flight time with this battery.
Keep in mind these pictures were taken in 15 miles winds gushing to 20 mph. The control surfaces are indicative of how little control where required to manuver this plane. This is great flying electric that you guys should all get a chance to enjoy.
Signing off for now
