The Techone Yak 54 is the newest plane in my fleet. Lately, I have really gotten into 3D flying and love the challenge this type of flying brings to the plate. As you guys have seen in my hangar before, the TechOne Venus was my first real 3D capable plane and I loved the Venus. After a hard crash left the motor mount busted and not having too much success finding what I needed to replace it, I started looking at what my next step plane might be. The Yak 54 had great reviews on line as it is an EPP model built for 3D flying.
I have been extremely pleased with this plane since receiving it. It was easy to build and has great durability and characteristics in the sky. It is a great plane I would say either for beginners in 3D as well as those 3D pilots who maybe started out flying a smaller and lighter model. This will be a natural progression for you.

I am flying mine with a 1300 mAh 3 cell batteries. CG seems to be spot on without any modifications. I have mine paired with a Spektrum DX8 and AR400 receiver.
