Default RE: YAK 54 TOC1

That's awesome info Rolly. You definitely did alot of work but sounds like it was well worth it. I am guessing it was an older kit. Seems like the newer ones are lighter. Mine came in at 16lbs 6oz with a 1/4 tank. I want to drop down to a 16oz tank eventually but for now will use the stocker. I also have it mounted dead center of the wing tube in the can tunnel. I also have the graphtec tail wheel which I think may actually be heavier then the stocker but I didn't trust it. That is a good idea with the springs and would save weight, I may have to give it a try. I also added the carbon stab tube and I didn't use a spinner either. Yaks just don't look right with a spinner and I like to see the bolts holding the prop.
