The Hangar 9 Carden Aircraft Edition Yak 54 ARF is a shrunken version of the popular Carden 150cc Yak 54.

This level of completion is beyond comparison in the giant-scale market. The kit comes highly prefabricated with the fuel tank assembled, hinges and control horns installed and hinge lines sealed.

In addition to the unparalleled level of completion, the Yak 54 ARF also has smart design features such as a two-piece wing and stab—standard on all Carden kits—that ensures convenient storage and easy transport to the flying field. Also included are top-quality, durable components like the fiberglass cowl and lightweight aluminum landing gear.

hey guys ???? do ya think a 3w 81 xi will fit wow what a rocket that would be

[Scott Gerber]

Yea it would be a rocket ship however the flying weight would be about 1.5 to 2 lbs heavier and you most likely have to run a three blade prop for ground clearance...

[speedmaster1972]

scott i think i am going to give her a try anway i live @4500 hundred feet in elevation. right now i am flying a 33% yack with it and it is a little underpowered and the plane size and air frame is very similar. i think this would be a good combination give me your thoughts thanks ... more power hehe

garret

[Scott Gerber]

Garret,

Yea at your altitude you may have no choice. Just be careful on your choices of radio gear and muffler to reduce every ounce of unneeded weight. Again, because of ground clearance issues with a 26 in prop you most likely will have to run a three blade adding even more nose weight depending on your choice of props.

Well, at least we have something more to read. Hangar 9 posted the build manual here: http://www.hangar-9.com/ProdInfo/Fil...ARF_Manual.pdf

[bodywerks]

Hmmm...do I need a 50cc plane? I am trying to find a reason not to buy this plane! If I can't find a reason, it will have a DA-50 and EScomposite tuned pipe!

[Scott Gerber]

Ya know you want it Nick, get on the list...!!!!
