The size of the arm spline matches a Hs 55.

Here is a shot of the Mojo E8 servo that we offer with our combo package. I have never seen a stripped gear or a servo fail. The only down side is they are not as fast as the Futaba or JR servos. The arms work great, if you use the outside hole on the arm and the hole on the wood control horn supplied with our foamies, you wil get at least 40-45 degrees. If you want more, the Hitec 55 long arms work great.

I have attached a photo of the Mojo servo showing the cross arm with the small holes on one side. Just trim off the shaded areas and you will be good to fly.

Mike dropped a couple of the 38” Yaks combo kits off during a visit to my shop on Friday and we were flying by Saturday 7:00 AM built very fast flew AMAZING!!!
Thanks Mike it was good to meet you and Pedro. I was snap rolling that thing so hard the battery flew off, I did a harrier landing with it dangling, man that thing is sweet.

Welcome to the DW club!! I did a snap roll and the motor flew half off! It still hovered for a good catch

[Xpress..]

Haven't had a battery fall off, or have half of a motor fly off, but I have had control horns rip out on me Mostly in blenders, or KE spins.

Well it happend today, i killed my tribute fx. I lost all control on a downline and it hit HARD. Total loss, prop was a couple inches in the ground...you get the idea. Thought it was a lockout at first, but it ended up that my satellite reciever unplugged. It kinda sucks since i barely had 15 flights on it but it may be a blessing in disguise because now i can order my Skua and fly that right away!! Im just counting the days...lol

I just built my first DW Yak and ended up in a mid-air (not my fault at all - I was hovering and another guy flew right into me) on the second flight. The other plane flew right through my rudder but I kept flying and landed perfectly. It was real windy, but the plane held up pretty well for such a light foamy. It was actually my first foamy (and first electric) so I have nothing to compare it too, but it handled better than I expected.

[Xpress..]

Hehe. No need for a rudder on the yak. As long as you have the fuselage, an elevator, and at least one aileron, it will still fly. Still flies better with all four control surfaces

GenX!! Oops, it's not on the poll . As for servos, I wrap them with friction tape (bat handle tape) and use a drop of hot glue. Won't come off until you cut the tape.

[Xpress..]

Hmm, another tape I've been wanting to use is the 3M fibery type tape used for taping up wounds, the white stuff. Wonder how that would work out.

[electric-2000]

For those wanting to have a solid, light weight, servo mount this is the preferred way-
Here is a photo of the tail servos on our BAF Skua. Using good quality 1" 3M masking tape works best and you need to wrap it around the bottom of the servo for a solid hold. Glue down the servo to the foam using Medium Foam Safe CA. To remove, just slice the tape with a knife and peel back.

if u want to do IMAC with a foamie i sugest the jenx but for 3d i like both yak and juka

u shud get your self a 35% gas plane or somthing like that to do IMAC becuz it alot harder to do IMAC with a foamie than a gas plane trust me i compeat in IMAC

[Xpress..]

^^From what the BAF fanatics are saying, the Yak 54 55" is like a miniature IMAC style plane. The Gen-X is mostly a precision foamy, for long lines, but it'll do some 3D.

Xpress, IMAC is all about precision flying. Yes, the BAF YAK 54 is scale and falls into the IMAC qualifications, but our Gen-X makes a great foamie for IMAC practice. When setup properly, the Gen-X will 3D with the best of them and it's very easy to hover. If you want something that's a crazy wild tumbling foamie, our 48" Juka will fill your needs.

Our Gen-X is designed especially for electric IMAC/Pattern flying. Here in San Diego, we had a BAF 55" Gen-X enter our EMAC (electric IMAC) series and it did very well against the built-up's. The larger airframe of the BAF makes a great practice plane for pattern or IMAC style flying, even in a little wind it still grooves very well.

Here is a video of our Gen-X in action-

out of curiosity? There isnt anyone else making GIANT foamies production-wise is there?
