E-Flite YAK 54F 3D ARF

 
 

E-Flite Yak 54F 3D EP ARF

Discontinued

 

E-flite's Yak 54F 3D ARF Features a unique 3-dimensional A-frame foam construction and flat-wing design, the Yak is an extreme electric model capable of a broad assortment of thrilling precision and 3D aerobatics. Key to its intricate maneuverability is its lightweight A-frame fuselage, which reduces flex to provide precise control. It's also stronger and stiffer than typical profile planes, which allows for more stable performance, even in windier conditions, so that a seasoned pilot can still attain his aerobatic potential outdoors. From high-speed rolls to super-slow harriers, the Yak's smoothness and precision provides a wider range of performance than any other foamy out there. A gearbox and prop are included and for optimum performance, the Yak 54F should be flown with an E-flite Park 370 brushless motor (EFLM1000), 20-amp ESC (EFLA311) and 1320mAh 3-cell Li-Po battery pack (THP13203S). For a direct-drive alternative, try the Park 400 Outrunner series (EFLM1305).

  • More stable and capable of flying outdoors

Recommended Motor Setup Options for E-Flite Yak 54F

The first option will be the High Power Motor Setup.  We recommend using the included 6.6:1 gearbox and 10T pinion gear, along with the included 12 x 6 propeller.  You just need to purchase the E-flite Park 370 Brushless Motor, 4100 Kv (EFLM1000) and the below 3-cell 1200 – 1320 mAh Li-Po battery and you will not be disappointed.  This is the most powerful setup option for the Yak54F and will give you the most power between the three options. 

The second option is the High Power Outrunner (direct drive) Motor Setup.  Purchase our      E-flite Park 400 Outrunner Brushless Motor, 920 Kv (EFLM1305), a 10 x 4.7 or 11 x 4.7 propeller, and the below 3-cell 1200 – 1320 mAh Li-Po battery for a powerful direct drive and quiet alternative. 

If you are looking for a lightweight or indoor setup, our third option is the one for you.  This is the Indoor/Lightweight Outrunner (direct drive) Motor Setup.  Purchase our smaller Park 370 Outrunner Brushless Motor, 1080 Kv (EFLM1200), a 10 x 4.7 propeller, and the below 3-cell 860 – 900 mAh Li-Po battery for a lighter alternative.
