Default New!! 150cc Yak 54 QB

Ok guys here is the much anticipated 150cc Yak 54 QB! This plane is sure to impress and is the most “QB’ed” airplane aeroworks has ever done! The 150cc Yak comes with carbon wing/stab tubes, tailwhee, l and even landing gear! After 2 years of testing we have found what we believe is the best carbon gear available and is made out of 100% Carbon Fiber. The Yak is setup for DROP-IN Greeves pipes and canister mufflers! All that is needed is to uncover the precut vent holes in the presheeted fuse bottom and slide in the cans/pipes. We have included an access hatch behind the landing gear to make installing the pipes even easier! The cowl is in two pieces and comes prebaffled just like the 100cc yak. As usual this airplane comes with all of the features that our other QB’s include along with a few more surprises that will be introduced later.

Now I’m sure many of you are wondering how does it fly? Well I put 5 flights on her on Friday and all I could say is WOW! Guys this airplane is incredibly stable in any 3D maneuver you can imagine! Precision however is where this airplane really shines. It is the most locked in plane I have ever flown! I told Rocco as soon as the first flight was over that I wanted 2 for the 08 season and plan to fly this plane in Advanced all next year.
We hope to have these avalible around the first of the year. Preorder now and get the special preorder price of 1995.95!


Here are the specs:
Wing Span: 122”
Wing Area: 2750
Weight: 39-41 Pounds
Length Rudder to Spinner: 116”

Would a ZDZ 210 fit in the cowl? Any objections using a big engine on the plane? Plane looks real good.

Smokey you may have to cut for the plug caps a little. What are the exact dimensions of the 210?

Nice plane! You should put a jetcat turbo prop in it.

Do you think is possible to get the production weight under 38#.

I have the 100cc extra and absolutely love the plane but it came in rt at 29#. plane fly's great but in certain areas you can feel the weight.

are the wings built up or foam? same construction method as on the 42% extra?

looks really good - all you need now is a 540 ( hint hint )
