Might be a good trip for a long weekend break from school.

What are the specs on the 150cc version of this plane?

OOOh, the 150cc class Yak will have the best of all! Designed to be 'the' IMAC plane of the future!! It will have a WS of 118" C/F landing gear, wing tube, stab tube. Super light weight construction, hollow-cored foam wings, pocket hinging, 1-pc canopy/hatch, Cost: $1400.00 ARF avialable in the blue/white or Yellow/Red scheme!

That's not bad, how is the 50cc version for IMAC?

I'm looking for something that could be a back up for my primary.

ExtPlt · 11-23-2009, 11:43 AM

I have both the 100 and 50. The reason I got the 50 was for a backup IMAC plane. Same color and plane = same sight picture for manuvers.

Nice specs Bill! Do have a target weight and will it be pipe/canister ready. I am looking for a change in the next year and I would like to have an airframe in the 39 lb range. I like the round cowls and would like to stay with a Yak design.

You had me at OOOh

Not sure of the final weight of the Yak, but all lightening measures are on this airframe. Motor box, landing gear area, fuselage sides, all have maximum weight reduction in mind. Using all CF parts will help too. No wheel pants help in weight reduction........ The only thing I can think of that would be lighter would be a cf tail wheel. But that will also change (but not in time for this next container). If you run mufflers and not a canister or pipes, the weight will be very competitive. I am hoping for a under 40 pound flying weight but it could be 37 pounds or 41 pounds, I reall y have no idea at this time.

bodywerks · 11-24-2009, 02:47 AM

I can't see how the 150cc version would be more than 40-41 pounds with cans or pipes, based on how light my 100cc is with aluminum landing gear. I am sure I could get one under 40 pounds easily...

mbacosa · 11-24-2009, 08:22 AM

With a 170 on pipes that would be a potent set up. Oh honey!!!! Remember that San Diego vacation we were supposed to take.........Well......something has come up!!!!

JPHen · 11-28-2009, 07:51 AM

Looking to get a 50cc for IMAC (just starting out). Any still available on the first shipment? Bill, sent PM and e-mail.

Here are some pics of my Yak with graphics. (Finally)Going to fly it tomorrow at the TRCC scale fly-in.

JPHen · 11-29-2009, 04:43 PM

Hoser, how was your flight?

hosertoo · 11-30-2009, 02:42 PM

Went really well. The axial rolls on this plane are great and fun to do. Knife edge ia also really good.The only problem I had was watching out for that really big 60% Cub that Bill was flying!!!
