Sweet! Re: Goldberg YAK 54 ARF 67

Aeroworks is comming out with a .90 size yak. Here is a pic. Aeroworks hasn't released a date yet, just heard they flew the prototype and were working on putting it into production. Should be a good seller.

I've flown this YAK with the Fugi 43EI. Turns APC 20 x 8W 7000 or 20 x 8 at 8000. Well pleased with overall performance. Good but not great verticle out of 3D hover but ok most of other maneuvers. Starts easy and runs great. Also great value at Tower Hobby prices ... I paid $395 less $30 discount less a $40 merchandise certificate. It's not a 50cc but reasonably close depending on what you are looking for in pure 3D performance. Would definitely go with this engine over any glow.

Hi,

For 90 size I think this setup is great :
  • Engine : YS 140
  • Prop. : APC 16 x 6 or 16x8
  • Servos : JR 559 MG or Hitec 5645 MG
  • Batt. : Futaba 1500/6V or Duralite 2400
  • Fuel : CoolPower 30% heli
I used this setup with my ShowTime 4D 90 and Funtana 100X, it was awesome.

Just test flew it for a buddy of mine this past weekend. He had a Saito 150 in it so power was no problem. Plane looks good, only problem I could tell of was that with power off on a tight pull it would always drop the right wing. So i am sure he has some setup things to work out. The thing that amazed me was how well it landed. He was just a touch on the tail heavy side, and that let the plane just come in on its own. I swear I could have taken my hands off the sticks once lined up.
It's a nice plane, but with the other ones that are out there not an easy decision.

My father has the goldberg 77" with a Da 50 in it and it flys like a dream. If the smaller one flys like his does you are in for a treat.
