Title: Suggestions for a Yak 54?
Post by: Divyam on March 12, 2011, 11:37:59 AM
Well.. One of my summer projects this summer is a plane!
I have LOADS of sim time, so if I fly carefully, I should be able to learn on a yak 54, right?

So, I was looking at the 25mm EPP Yak 54 from rcforall:
http://rcforall.co.in/product_info.php/products_id/48

The main reason I selected this is because I dont wanna grow out of a trainer too fast..
Also, the cessns is only 3 channel, whereas the yak is 4.. Also, it's BIG.. From what I've heard, bigger is more stable, right?

Motor comes with the kit..

Radio is the HK 6ch available from Mr. Praveen..

Not finalized on a battery.. Looking for a 3s 1000-1500 mah 30c.. Not able to find any 30c.. Only 20c  ???

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Divyam

learning to fly on a 3D plane that too a flat profile ..... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:...its a pain.....believe me i have been trying the same i have a already abused two brand new epp planes that they are no longer in flyin condition going to do with 1 more after my exams but no i can fly it well ...but seriously you cant learn proper flying from these flat foamies .....it better you get an easy star or easy cub....its a free suggestion my my side if u want it you can take else your choice....

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.. I have learnt PROPERLY on a sim.. So, hoping I can start with a 3d Foamie.. (So I don't grow out of it too fast) I was hoping to reduce EPA..
Else, I'll go with the Cessna 182 from Techone..

@Augustinev
I don't know lotta techniques for building from scratch..
So, I wanted my 1st foamie to come with all hardware included.. Maybe after this, I'll start scratchbuilding..

IF I do go with the Cessna, how are these electronics?

Ya, the Cessna is foam..
The F-22 is certainly a harder model to learn on..
