Are you talking about the Aviation Models 40% Yak 54 or the Composite ARF 3.3M Yak 55SP? I know the title says AM but you mention 3.3M the AM Yak would be 40% which is 3M I think. Jon

| Re: Weight of AM Yak 40%? That 40%er is definitely the ticket for a 200cc engine. If you want foamy power/flight performance, go with the 37.5% and 150. You won't be sorry.

| Re: Weight of AM Yak 40%?
My friend has a 40% AM Yak with a 3W 200 and its about 50 pounds. He has about a pound of ni-mh's for the rudder though. Seiko servo, smoke system and Twin Spark, so, two ignitions, two batteris, two switches. In a simple single spark setup, you would be looking at 47-48 pounds. Definately a lot for DA-150 IMO. I have seen it fly here at sea level with the 200 and its just right. Vic
