Default RE: NEW Composite YAK 55 2.12m DA 50


At 83" span and 16.5 to 17.5 lbs., isn't it lacking a bit of flying surface for its weight?

I normally fly a 16lbs. PAU Extra that is 87" and the 17lbs. EF Yak that is 88" span, which seems to be considerable added sqare footage for a similar or lesser weight...

The CARF Extra seems much lighter with an 84" span...

Guys

Just released from Composite ARF is this sport scale YAK 55 SP for the DA 50.
I have a pre production kit I'm just working on now, as soon as my Zimmermann exhaust set up arrives I'll be testing it.
