FEATURES:
The 86" Somenized tm Yak 54 known as one of the best ever designs comes in ARF version. This is a truly unlimited performer for both 3D and precision aerobatics. For those of you that are looking for a serious but not so expensive aerobatic IMAC competition airplane, this one should receive your up-most consideration. If you want to do 3-D only, Quique guarantees that you’ll find this Yak-54, 86” the most stable and predictable model for unlimited 3D aerobatics that you have ever tried in this size model.

-Larger airplane at less weight
-Canister tunnel! Many customers fly on restricted noise field and requested this feature to install a quiet canister.
-Removable stabs: For those customers wishing to step up to a 50cc class aircraft and still fit in their existing vehicle. It's also easier and faster to assemble over a fixed stab. Finally the elevator servos are positioning on the stab lay down making the linkage very direct. By placing the servos on the stab and making the stab removable we were be able to construct different the rear section of the fuselage reducing weight.
-The Dubro control horns have been replaced by fiberglass horns. These new control horns are designed for the airplane and best match the airplane's linkage configuration and are lighter than the DuBro horns.
-Since the new 86” is designed with the light 50cc class engines in mind we designed a new, longer engine box . As a result of this DA engines will use 1 ¼ stand off reducing vibration.
-We've increased the nose moment slightly for better balancing with light engines.
-A beautiful new color scheme that I am sure you will love.
-Tank mount, throttle servo, ignition and switch mounts are all pre-built and ready for your hardware!
-All bevels in all surface has been revised for maximum throw and minimum hinge gap.
-New foam-free technology in the fuselage to reduce weight and max strength.
-Of course the 86" still is convered in genuine Oracover (called UltraCote here in the U.S)
-Our prototype with DA50 MTW headers, MTW Canister, 4,000 Duralite Lion, 1 RX, 8611a serovs all around, 4” solid plate aluminum back plate (Tru Turn), Mejzlik 22x8 weighed just 16 lbs 2 oz.!!!
-Redesigned composite landing gear keeps the original 85" gear great looks and lightweight but is even stronger.

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.
