Well guys,

Somehow a NIB Lanier 87" Yak has found it's way to my shop. I will be selling my 30% Extra to make room, but that's another story...

So far, I'm very impressed with the looks of the plane. Now I have to figure out what I'll put in it for power. I'll probably use Hitec 5925's for the servos, except the rudder will get a 5955.

I will try to get pics and post them, along with a build thread, maybe.

Lanier calls for a 50cc to 80cc, and I just happen to have a ZDZ-80 sitting here.
The AUW is called out as 16.5 to 17.5 lbs., pretty light for an 80cc motor.

More to come...

Yes,pics please. I really like the looks of their new 50cc planes.

analog_boy · 02-09-2006, 05:46 PM

analog_boy · 02-09-2006, 05:54 PM

sounds good look forward.

SleepyC · 02-10-2006, 08:09 AM

An 80cc???

WOW.... thats like a Rolls Royce jet engine in a piper cub.

Whats the weight of the 80cc?

I bet it would bly MUCH better with a 3W 75 us in it.....

I would suggest trading me and being happy!!

Ok sounds good. I'll get that motor boxed up.

New ZDZ 80 Super is 4.5 lbs
New 3W 80i is 5.05 lbs.

And dang....if you can hit that AUW....that's gonna be a killer combo.

KEN!! can i talk to you about haveing a few things magically show up at my house?
Is this like some MOJO i could borrow.

Dennis C · 02-10-2006, 09:42 AM

Dont you mean the plane found it's way to the back of your van..cause if it found it's way to your door.. your wife would put your Nut's in the blender

Now you give me your 30%'r and i wont call her

NimbleGimbal · 02-10-2006, 11:56 AM

I highly doubt you'll hit the high end of the AUW listing even with a da50R... people on RCU are getting yaks that weigh 12.1-12.5lbs empty airframe, add a 6lb power system and you've got a fairly hefty plane for a da50, i'd imagine the 80cc would be even worse on the wingloading, but definitely have the power

Ken.

We should send Max or his Mum over. After the job he done on his shop he has to get the first prize for MASTER SHOP CLEANER.

Give him a yell if you need help.

Funny how thing magically turn up at your door, Without previous notice, no doorbells ringing. No fancy wrapping paper either. Truly is a weird experiance when it happens.

No cut the foolin and get some photos in here mate. Weights, wingloading, the lot.

Guys:

I just weighed GP 27% Cap 232 3D. The airframe is coming in at 7lb even. It will be a 13lb balistic missile with DA 50 in it.

Yep, 12.625 for the airframe alone. I am getting ready to post pics and weights, just have to finish compiling the data
