Tony.... 3 years ago at the JR Challenge, I suggested "Heavily" to Andy Kane to bring up this same subject to Andreas at the Sales Team meeting that was going to be held in Punta Gorda..... He did....
It is Composite ARF's belief that they already have a 150cc Yak55 (the 3.3m).

If ONLY, Andreas had followed the suggestion 3 years ago, many of IMAC's competitions would be filled with Yak 55's....
It is one of the best flying airplanes I have ever felt!!! But neither the DA 150 nor the 3W 150/157 has enough power to perform Unlimited sequences proficiently, and these engines are what the majority of 40% pilots use.

Hopefully this thread will make Andreas take another look. It definitely would be to Comp ARF's advantage to make a 3m Yak 55SP.
