Hyperion
NEW! HYPERION YAK-54 "40e" 3D Electric - 98% ARF - COLOR SCHEME #1
In order to please the 3D enthusiasts, Hyperion designers increased the aileron, elevator, and rudder surface area, while staying very near the original outlines of the whole flying surface. Unusual for a model in this size range, the tail group is fully airfoiled; just another pointer to the dedication of the Hyperion design crew. It's all simply beautiful, and a lot of fun when your club members crowd around to get a look at the YAK... In terms of size, the YAK-40 "40e" can be related to "Engine 40" class models, but the little "e" means it is 100% electric. Designed from the "ground up" around the extremely powerful Hyperion Z4020-14 motor, you have to experience the performance yourself to believe it. At about 200W per pound, "Unlimited Vertical" is just the beginning! The YAK-54 40e weighs in at 5 pounds maximum (~2.3Kg). This very light weight coupled with generous wing area and extremely rigid construction lend the YAK-54 an extremely wide performance envelope, from 3D Maneuvers to high-speed, Big Sky Aerobatics. It will surly become the model that gets taken out every weekend; it's that much fun to fly! The wings are removable in a matter of a few seconds, for easy transport to the field, and storage at home. Bigger flies better, and this large model is also very easy to see at a distance. That sharpens the manuvers of any pilot, and is especially helpful if your eyes aren't "what they used to be". In the May 2006 issue Fly RC Magazine, they say this about the YAK 54 40e: "The Hyperion Yak-54 “40e” is exactly what I was looking for. It is a .40-size scale aerobatic model that not only comes in lighter than its glow counterpart, it also offers superior performance. It also comes standard with items usually found only with much larger and costlier airplanes. These include a carbon wing tube, airfoiled tail surfaces, and a perfectly painted fiberglass cowling. The Hyperion Yak has it all – including performance to match!"
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... YAK-54 40e POWER SET Recommended
Required/Recommended Gear: Transmitter: 4-Channel minimum, 6-Channel preferred Motor Hyperion HP-Z4020-14 Required Tools: *Small and Medium-sized phillips (+) screwdrivers HYPERION Z4020 Motors + TITAN 80A OPTO Power Set Here is some data using Hyperion LCL Series lithium battery packs and APC “E” series propellers. These results are with a freshly charged battery pack during the first 10 seconds of discharge. Actual average current would be lower, as battery voltage drops during the flight. Keep in mind, also, that these are EXTREMELY powerful systems, so full throttle is rarely used, and most of the flight is at half throttle, on average. TESTS BELOW WERE CONDUCTED AT MORE THAN 3000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL. At sea level, amperage will be higher, so be careful to check motor temperature after first short flights. Peak current of about 55A~65A is ideal. Test
