Default 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.
