Hyperion YAK-55SP "10e" Super-Scale ARF

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.

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...

Recommended 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...
