FEATURES:
This ARF kit comes about 97% built. It is beautifully covered with Ultracote film with a marvelous paint job on the fiberglass parts and canopy. An accurate assembly and flying manual is also provided. Quique designed this airplane based on his 37.4% competition Yak-54 that he used to win so many world aerobatic competitions.

Building upon the high performance design of the original 102” Yak and the “Somenzini Signature Series” Generation II ARF, the Generation III features a variety of enhancements to quality and design. While the overall design remains the same to offer the industry leading performance, it now has refined areas to provide a higher quality finish and assembly improvements. Some of the structural elements were also enhanced to withstand even the most demanding 3D and freestyle routines.

Among the many improvements that Generation II brought were enhanced covering application, tighter tolerances in flight surfaces and beveling, improved canopy hatch attachment, and more...

The NEW Generation III Yak 54 ARF features foam-free technology, plug and run canister design, new canopy structure design for longer life that includes a thin foam pad on the canopy back for reduced vibration and noise. The new Generation III includes removable, clear Side Force Generators and is available in the new QS 120" scheme. Of course, the Generation III Yak offers the same top quality features you've come to expect like plug-in wings and stabs, carbon fiber wing and stab tubes, carbon fiber tailwheel, quality fiberglass cowl, wing bags, ball links, titanium pushrods, pull-pull rudder assembly with carbon fiber rudder servo horn, 800 cc fuel tank and more. The Yak-54 102” is IMAC legal with room for a canister muffler system. It is a beautiful design with the right dimensions and an extremely light air frame. With a 100cc engine it will provide a similar or better power “feeling” than many of the other 150cc class airplanes on the market. It is an incredible airplane that will do what ever you want in a surprising “effortless” manner. The Yak-54 102” feels from the start to be smooth, powerful and very precise. Absolutely steady at low speed. During 3D aerobatics you’ll expereince the real meaning of “rock solid” when Harrier or Elevators are performed. You just need to fly it to believe it!

WARNING - Gasoline and Turbine powered aircraft are not manufactured to withstand unlimited G's. Any aircraft can fail, be it a wing folding up or a fuselage breaking in half under too high of a load. Just as any full size aircraft, model aircraft have a maximum G rating. Because you are not in the plane flying it and experiencing the G's and reading the G-meter, it is more difficult to judge the G's on the aircraft, and it is very easy to exceed the limits of the aircraft. Understand that if you perform a snap roll, parachute, wall, blender, knife edge loop, or pull hard on the elevator at almost any speed, you can be putting in excess of 15 G's, even in excess of 30 G's, and most aircraft can only designed to take 10-12 G's. If you perform any violent maneuver, you can break your plane. When I perform hard maneuvers, especially for the first time on an airframe, I am prepared for a failure and am prepared for it as best I can be. This mainly includes performing the maneuver far enough away from spectators that in event of a failure that I am not endangering others. In addition, be prepared for the manufacturer to not pay for a new airframe which is broken during flight. It is common practice for any manufacturer to not replace an airframe which breaks in the air or upon landing. I have only seen manufacturers replace airframes when they have received many of the same failures and the manufacturer determines that there was a design or manufacturing error. If you break an airframe, and you are the only one to do so, then it is probably not the fault of the manufacturer. Please fly safely, and avoid full throttle operation other than at low airspeeds.
