Im thinking about getting the Great Planes 25% Yak and want to knwo that the best engine to put in it is. GP reccomneds using the Fuji But i wanna know if theres sometihng else out there thats gonna give me a little more power in hovering and uplines. DA-50? Too much? Stick with the recomended Fuji or what? All input welcomed. Thanks guys.!!

DA 50 all the way! I have flown a GP yak w/ a brand new never broken in DA 50, and it was a rocket! awsome combination! its not too much to affect CG or rip appart the fire wall. Definitly go w/ a DA 50!

John Glezellis has been flying the heck out of his with a DA50 in it up here. Perhaps it was just him at the sticks, but it looked like it flew great with a DA50, not to mention rocket-power!

great combo, go for it. just remember, eventhough a person might think this plane will come up to be nose heavy with the DA50, this is not the case, even with DA50 up front, you might still be a bit tail heavy, so make sure you go with pull-pull rudder setup with it.

good luck

Well, it looks like I have y ansewers. thank you gentlemen. Hopefully Ill have this thing flying by Christmas. Thanks for all the help and opinions

It is a nice-looking plane, but too small for the DA, IMO. I am sure it is a rocket on the vertical, but the wingloading would be equal to that of my 35% 260! Just watch yourself on the elevator and keep the speed up and you'll be okay, but there are planes out there that are bigger, the same weight, and are far more suitable for a 50cc engine.

carlostorqueboy · 09-04-2006, 05:35 PM

i don´t think so , i have one razzia 3d 2mx2m from topmodel cz with a da50 with canister , the model is for 40cc maximum and i put the DA because is lighter than 40cc engines and has more power,also works much better than another brands . When you fly the model you don´t need go strait full engine , you fly normal and when you are doing torqueroll if something happens you have power to go up quickly and you can save the model . My airplane is working perfectly with the da50 , i like this engine and that´s why i buy another one .
I put some pictures of the razzia to show you how is the model , i have been flying with this airplane since 1 year and is like new , the engine has saved my model many times when the tail hits the ground in torquerolls

bodywerks · 09-04-2006, 09:35 PM

That Razzia also has over 400 square inches more wing area, though!

carlostorqueboy · 09-05-2006, 04:24 AM

this friday i will try the airplane and i will bring some video and photos in flight . I think it will go perfect with this engine . The yak has a very light but strong construction, well this friday i will tell you it flies.
Regards
