Engine size for yak 55m
These are the specs 73 in wing. 67 1/2 long 1023 Sq in wing it says 9.7 to 11 pounds flying weight but with everything on my plane with a 26cc engine it only weighs 7.75. So a couple questions first is that normal for a plane to weigh that much less then what they list for flying weight? Second they suggest a 30cc engine but I think thats for the listed flying weight of 9.7 to 11 pounds if I'm at 7.75 loaded without fuel will the 26cc engine be plenty of hp?
