The YAK 55 3D ARF dispels the myth that an expensive brushless motor system is needed for electric 3D aerobatic flight. High alpha flight, Parachutes, Blenders and even Walls are among the YAK 55 3D’s capabilities — and it does all of this with an inexpensive yet powerful brushed motor! The ball bearing 280-size motor and 5:1 gearbox are assembled and ready to install into the airframe, and an included “prop saver”, compatible with APC or GWS prop hubs, allows the prop to deflect back at landing. The control surfaces are enormous, and servo arm extensions give even more control surface movement. The YAK 55 3D ARF gives incredible 3D performance from a low-cost, easy-to-assemble design — and it’s small enough to be flown in a park, on a playground or even in your own backyard!

The airframe is made of durable, lightweight EPS foam, while Depron is used for the aileron, rudder/fin and stab halves; carbon fiber tubes reinforce the fuselage.

Recesses for the radio components are already in place, including a pre-cut channel in the fuselage for the servo lead wires.

Servo arm extensions provide even more deflection for the large control surfaces.

The clear battery hatch features a Velcro^® fastener for quick and easy pack changes.

“Our YAK 55 3D ARF is simply a blast to fly! It delivers incredible 3D performance from a low-cost, easy-to-assemble design — and it’s sized to fly almost anywhere.”
