Description
Yak-55: 32-Inch EPP Standard Mono Series
The legendary Yak-55 returns as one of the easiest and most durable aircraft in our Standard Mono Series. Its stable, forgiving handling makes it an excellent platform for pilots developing their 3D skills, while still providing the control authority and responsiveness experienced pilots expect.
Lightweight EPP construction, pre-hinged control surfaces, and a carbon-fiber truss system create a rigid and dependable airframe. The Yak-55 remains controlled at slower speeds while delivering precise performance during hovering, harriers, rolling maneuvers, and aggressive aerobatics.

Yak55
Insane roll rate and rudder authority. Standard thickness foam is tough enough to absorb crashes but stiff and light enough to retain a nice floaty feel. 2S450 keeps things light and slow. 3S450 gives you way more speed and power. Both are great options.
