| The Hyperion YAK-54 40e sets the new benchmark in electric aerobatic models. Constructed of hand-picked light balsa and ply, the fuselage, wing, and tail group carefully follow the lines of the full-size Russian YAK 54. The hand painted fiberglass cowl is simply... a work of art: YAK54 louvers are molded in, and the paint and striping are a perfect color match to the model covering. The prepainted super-clear canopy is already mounted on a wood frame, with a preinstalled canopy latch for retention to the fuselage (sorry, nothing for you to do here either!). Battery access takes just a few seconds...
In order to please the 3D enthusiasts, Hyperion designers increased the aileron, elevator, and rudder surface area, while staying very near the original outlines of the whole flying surface. Unusual for a model in this size range, the tail group is fully airfoiled; just another pointer to the dedication of the Hyperion design crew. It's all simply beautiful, and a lot of fun when your club members crowd around to get a look at the YAK...
In terms of size, the YAK-40 "40e" can be related to "Engine 40" class models, but the little "e" means it is 100% electric. The YAK-54 40e weighs in at 5 pounds maximum (~2.3Kg). This very light weight coupled with generous wing area and extremely rigid construction lend the YAK-54 an extremely wide performance envelope, from 3D Maneuvers to high-speed, Big Sky Aerobatics. It will surly become the model that gets taken out every weekend; it's that much fun to fly! The wings are removable in a matter of a few seconds, for easy transport to the field, and storage at home.
Because of the size and weight of this package an additional fee of $15.00 will be added for shipping. Thank you for understanding, BMKDesigns. |
