The Hyperion YAK-55SP "10e" is perhaps the most faithfully scale small
aerobatic model today. Constructed of hand-picked light balsa and
ply, the fuselage, wing, and tail group carefully follow the lines of
the full-size Russian aerobat. The hand painted fiberglass cowl is
simply... a work of art: YAK55 louvers are molded in, and the paint and
striping are a perfect color match to the model covering. The
prepainted super-clear canopy is already mounted on a wood frame, with
neodymium magnets installed for retention to the fuselage (sorry,
nothing for you to do here either!).
In order to please the 3D enthusiasts, Hyperion designers skillfully
increased the aileron, elevator, and rudder surface area a great deal,
in such a way that it actually enhances the purposeful (almost Vicious!)
aerobatic look of the YAK55. Showing up at the field with this model is
almost as fun as flying it, when your buddies crowd around to get a
peek...
In terms of size, the YAK-55SP "10e" can be related to "Engine 10" class
models, but the little "e" means it is 100% electric. Designed from the
"ground up" around the extremely powerful Hyperion Z3007-26 motor, you
have to experience the performance yourself to believe it. "Unlimited
Vertical" has to be re-defined!
With an 8g micro receiver, 7-gram servos, and the Hyperion LVX1200-3S
20C lithium battery, and Z3007-26 power set, our YAK-55SP weighs in at
651 grams (23.25 oz). This very light weight coupled with generous wing
area and extremely rigid construction lend the YAK-55SP an extremely
wide performance envelope, from 3D Maneuvers to high-speed, Big Sky
Aerobatics. It is a blast to fly!
With this "REALLY-almost-ready-to-fly" just about
everything is already completed for you. Just insert the hinges in the
pre-slotted control surfaces and CA glue them, then screw on the cowl,
and install servos/receiver, motor, controller and battery. An
experienced builder can be ready to fly in two hours! The kits contain
English-text build guide written by native English speakers, and CAD
drawings for no-mistakes assembly. (See
build guide here)
The wings are removable in a matter of a few seconds, for east transport
and storage. And the magnet-latch canopy makes for instant battery
access, for no-hassle flying... |

Parts |
We strongly recommend that you purchase Hyperion kits with the
"power set" option, for three good reasons:
First, the models are specifically developed for the power set, and
extensively flight tested to insure both stunning performance and
perfect reliability.
When you buy the kit with power set, both the Kit and the Power Set
have discounts applied. In some cases this can amount to nearly 20%,
and you always save 10% or more on kit, motor, controller, adapter,
and connectors.
And you can't get better quality parts, anywhere, at any price... |
