 |  Huge!! Foamie YAK - Finally! This is a GIANT foamie, why not announce it to FG members first! The BigAss Foamie YAK was originally designed as a flagship for our line of kits here at DW Foamies. It quickly became a hit with everyone saying “That’s really cool, I want one”. It’s a scaled up version of our popular YAK 54, designed by Pedro Brantuas. With its huge 55 ½” wingspan and 50” length, the 9mm Depron construction supports this airframe very well. This foamie can take up the entire bed of a pickup truck, so we have made the wings removable for easy transportation by removing 4 nylon screws. It uses a 9mm carbon wing tube and a carbon joiner, along the carbon front and rear spars. The control surfaces incorporate our famous “Torque Rod Hinge” system. This system distributes the stress along the entire control surface, also adding an additional spar to the flight surface. For detailed images go HERE Video is HERE BAF YAK Specifications: 55” wing Span 705 sq. in. 50” Length 36 oz’s AUW HiMax 3516-1130 or Scorpion 3020-12 3s 2100 li-polys Mike www.DWFoamies.com Last edited by electric-2000; 08-15-2007 at 02:44 PM. |

Mike, are you really going to start selling these? I thought they were only going to be for demos and shows. I think people will love them. I have flown the BiggAss YAK on a few occassions. It is really fun. It is very well balanced like it's little brother. I was surprised by how slowly it flies. It is the closest thing in foam I have found to flying a 40%. If you are looking for something different and exciting in a foam plane, try this one.

Larry, It was IMAC pilots like Joey and others that inspired me to market the kit. To launch our new product, I'm doing an introductory offer of $89.95 for the next couple weeks. Shipping should be under $10.00 in the CON U.S. Mike www.DWFoamies.com |
