The Carbon-Z™ Yak 54 is a quantum leap in unlimited aircraft design that uses patent pending Carbon-Z construction. The brainchild of world aerobatic champion, Quique Somenzini, it comes out of the box equipped with the phenomenal brushless Q-Power system and digital high-speed servos. The combination of these high-performance components with the light weight and superb rigidity of the Carbon-Z airframe result in a 3D rc airplane with a 2:1 thrust-to-weight ratio that knows no limits.
Best of all, you can have this Plug-N-Play® version airborne in just a few minutes. All you need is a full range aircraft transmitter and receiver, a 4S 14.8V 2800mAh Li-Po battery, and a 4S Li-Po charger. To get the most from the Carbon-Z Yak 54 electric plane, a programmable aircraft transmitter with dual rates and exponential function is recommended.

Bought this plane as a practice plane for 3D and some aerobatics (other planes getting to expensive to crash); was quick and easy to put together (although rudder fitting didn't quite line up). Had a minor ground strike and can’t get a new motor shaft so put in a Hyperion Zs3025-10 swinging a 13x6.5 on 4s - pulls 900W (almost 450W per kilo)
Pros: Nice looking plane, flies predictably with no bad habits, easy 3D, knife-edge, inverted
Cons: hatch magnets are too strong and put out of fuse (put some tape over both the fuse and the hatch to hold them in reduce the force of the magnets), weak engine mount, not enough battery travel to push the CG back, paint comes off easy, canopy had to be re-glued, difficult to trim
very nice

Fantastic Acro , Fast, positive response at all rates.
Easy to fly at all speeds Good slow flyer..
Bit of a handful in med to strong wind.
Poor Engine Mount, Cracked after 3rd flight (not Crash Damage) Refabricated with Carbon Fibre sheet..
Elevator weak where strengthening rib inserted & brakes easily ..
Landing gear bends really easily .
Battery canopy magnets great, but pull out of Fuse if not careful ..( Reglue)
Great Plane ,why spoil it with Poor fittings..

Everything I expected and more. Handles rough ground with ease, except when a piece of stick jams the wheel to the pants...
