50cc Yak
Just got my 50cc Yak, It’s the red and white one and it looks great. I did have a problem with the cowl paint coming off. They are sending me a new one so I would give them a 100% in customer satisfaction. I was wondering what type of motor and servos you guys are using on this type of bird. I only use futaba radio gear. There are so many choices for motors I don’t know where to start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

MPI 6061 Aluminuim Arm for Futaba go on metal Output Shaft of Power HP Servos. There allot Servo for $50 each. Tell John Dunlap or Gene Payson Rich Grow one Their Sponsored Pilots Wrote You. If Need More help or like see some photos what Our projects look like? My Direct e-mails : [email protected]. We just finished building a 28% Edge 540T with DL-50 and Fixing to start 72" Wing Span Katana with 40cc Gas Engine next. Also check out Using Lithium Ion Fromeco Batteries to power everything. You'll get super low prices and Some Best Gas Airplane Help in USA from The Troybuilt Staff. Happy New Years and Safe Flying.

RE: 50cc Yak
I would go with the Hitec servos, 7985's on the surfaces and a 7955 on the rudder and a HS625 for the throttle. As far as the engine goes the DA-50 is a great engine and the reports say that the DL-50 is also a great engine. I just sold my 50cc AW Yak with the same set-up in it Hitec servos, DA-50. This was a great combo.

RE: 50cc Yak
I have the same plane with the setup Gregman states and I love it. I also have a DL 50 in another airplane and would not hesitate to use this engine. It is every bit as reliable as the DA and substaintially cheaper.
