RE: Help? Phoenix Models 63" Yak-54
Scotty: Very glad it went well apart from the little trouble! You're going to enjoy this model I'm sure, it's a great all rounder. Just remember to keep that canopy out of the sun at all costs!!! Hehe
My_Design: I don't think that's a good idea at all no. This model will struggle with that size motor very much. There's alot of drag on the airframe and it will bite (tip stall) a little if you slow it down too much without horses to keep it aloft. I'm sure it will fly with the .46 in a capable pilots hands in good conditions but I just wouldn't recommend it, you're not going to have any room to breathe or make mistakes in. Why don't you look into a nice .40 sized profile for that motor? You won't be dissapointed, pop over to the profile forums here on RCU and have a look.
