Badan 35% Yak 55

[tbrum]

I've been mulling over a Fall 2016 project and decided to try building a 35% Badan Yak55

I've really, really enjoyed the 60cc Vertigo2M and 180cc Vertigo3M - both to build and also the way they fly. Decided to see if the Yak55 is similar

The kit will come with all the formers, foam and sheeting and a sweet set of CF landing gear.

Scheme is unknown at this time.

Power will be GP123 on Hype Pipes. Jeti guidance with CB200 Central Box and GPS, RPM, Current and Temp telemetry. Powerbox iGyro. Undecided on servos. Either Futaba BLS172's or MKS380's or BlueBird Helical's.

Below is a video of Dan's.

Dan's friend is building one now... attached are the links to his build pictures/writeup.

This will be another masterpiece from BBT. I will be following if you do a build thread. I have a thing for Yaks.

[tbrum]

LOL. Something a little different again. Can't promise a masterpeice but excited to give the build a shot!!

Definitely will do a build thread Keep the banter alive!!

[Cosmith]

Looks awesome!!!

I'm calling your bluff right now...I bet you'll be flying this thing by spring!

Meanwhile, my Vertigo is my this fall, this winter, this spring, this summer, next fall.......project...lol.

Anyway, can't wait for the build thread...especially when it goes all sideways over your choice of engine, and possibly servos if you do the Bluebirds...not sure what shelf they come from!

[tbrum]

LOL!! I welcome the "shelf" discussions Especially when the GP pulls the 2lb lighter Yak around like a foamy versus that porkchop MVVS116 in the video, LOL

This spring I have Ed's Vertigo2M to do up, so it'll force me to store this kit for the Fall

What you intended to write..."This week I have Ed's Vertigo2M to do up, should be done by the time this kit arrives so I can have it ready for the season's first Huckfest" Lol....pretty sure you can crank out that Vertigo build in a few mornings between spoonfuls of cereal!

[Bhughes]

How about an em scheme. Hope I get to fly this too lol

[Bhughes]

Not gonna lie the 116 sounds good anyway

Trevor,
I've notice a trend in your airplane builds. Each build you seem to challenge yourself and add new elements. Either an increase in complexity of the covering scheme or you've challenged yourself to learn a new skill like the 2M Badan Vertigo you learned to airbrush and did an amazing job as always.... Can't see what new heights and challenges you bring to the table for this build
