We are pleased to introduce the first development of the
JTA Innovations line of foamies, the 32” Yak 54. The Yak
has always been a popular and classic platform within the
RC aerobatic community. Designed with all styles of foamy
flying in mind, the Yak is constructed with 6mm EPP which
allows for controllable outdoor flying as well as nimble
indoor flying. Equipped with an extremely rigid carbon fiber
arrangement, state of the art hardware, durable and
efficient landing gear, and flexible yet strong EPP foam, the
Yak is sure to withstand the most demanding of flights.
Along with the superb flight characteristics and high quality
construction, the Yak is available in 2 printed color schemes
designed by Matt Stringer.

Weight: Approximately 175-180g without battery
Required:
Motor - Hacker A10-9L or equivalent/similar
ESC - 10 to 15 amp ESC
Servos - 4g-12g servos (Qty. 3)
Propeller- 8-9” electric (APC highly recommended)
