Default Re: 35% am yak engine choice

The plane is setup for a 3w 106 and that seems to be a perfect match powerwise. It has more power than the DA and the weight it perfect to ballance the plane. The newer AM yak are coming out in the 28 lbs range. If you go with the carbon gear and li-ions you can get this plane down in the 27's. With 2,223 sq in of wing area you will have one of the lightest loaded planes out there in this size range.
