What engine for Nitro Models Yak 74"
#1
Thread Starter

I thought I was getting a 69" with less than 10lb build but see that this plane is larger at 74". It might be a 73" as I didn't measure that carefully but some have commented that it does not build up at less than 10 lbs as suggested in the adds and needs larger than a 1.2 engine. I'm not looking to 3D the plane but would like unlimited or nearly so vertical though I don't want to be over powered or for the plane to carry more weight than needed for reasonably good aerobatic performance.
I'm only interested in a gasser.
All suggestions are welcome and appreciated... thanks

Quique makes a 73" Yak that they claim weighs 11-12.5lbs. He has a video of it flying with a 26cc gasser, and while he's not thrilled with the vertical performance, it's enough to fly 3D and pull out of a hover.
