5. You must correctly install all R/C and other components 
so that the model operates correctly on the ground and in 
the air.

6. You must check the operation of the model before every 
flight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the 
model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check 
clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they 
show any signs of wear or fatigue.

7. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not flown 
this type of model before, we recommend that you get the 
assistance of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for your 
first flights. If you’re not a member of a club, your local 
hobby shop has information about clubs in your area whose 
membership includes experienced pilots.

WARNING:

 The cowl and wheel pants included in this kit 

are made of fiberglass, the fibers of which may cause eye, 
skin and respiratory tract irritation. Never blow into a part 
(wheel pant, cowl) to remove fiberglass dust, as the dust 
will blow back into your eyes. Always wear safety goggles, a 
particle mask and rubber gloves when grinding, drilling and 
sanding fiberglass parts. Vacuum the parts and the work 
area thoroughly after working with fiberglass parts.

We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality, 
thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the 
quality and fl yability of your fi nished model depends 
on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way 
guarantee the performance of your completed model, 
and no representations are expressed or implied as to the 
performance or safety of your completed model.

Remember:

 

Take your time and follow the instructions to 

end up with a well-built model that is straight and true.

DECISIONS YOU MUST MAKE

Radio Equipment

The Yak-55M EP requires a 4-channel radio system with four 
micro servos such as the Futaba

®

 S3115 Micro Precision 

Servo. For optimum performance, we recommend the Futaba 
S3150 Slim Digital Servos.

In addition, three 9" [229mm] servo extensions are required 
for the aileron servos and the ESC. Two 16" [405mm] servo 
extensions are required for the rudder and elevator servos. 
If you are using a radio system that does not support mixing 
functions, a Y-harness will also be required to connect the 
aileron servos to the receiver.

Motor/ESC Recommendations

The recommended motor and speed control for the Yak-55M 
EP is a RimFire

 .32 (42-50-800) brushless outrunner motor 

and the SS-45A Brushless ESC.

]

Propeller

If using the recommended RimFire .32 Outrunner Motor, we 
suggest an APC 12x6E electric propeller [APCQ4130].

Recommended Batteries

If using the suggested motor and prop combination, a 
2200mAh 14.8V LiPo battery pack is recommended.

OR

  

FlightPower

®

 LiPo EOUX30 14.8V 2200mAh 30C 

(FPWP6199)

Recommended Charger

A LiPo compatible charger is required to charge LiPo 
batteries. The Great Planes ElectriFly PolyCharge4™ is 
designed for LiPo packs only; however, it is able to charge 
four LiPo packs simultaneously. The ElectriFly Triton2

 and 

AC/DC Triton2 EQ chargers will only charge one pack at a 
time, but are capable of charging NiCd, NiMH, Pb acid and 
LiPo batteries.

Great Planes ElectriFly Triton2 DC Computer Peak 
Charger (GPMM3153)

 

OR

  

Great Planes AC/DC Triton2 EQ Charger/Balancer 
(GPMM3156)

Throughout the life of a LiPo battery, the individual cells 
located inside the battery may become unbalanced. These 
unbalanced cells can shorten the life of the battery or cause 
it to malfunction. For this reason, it is always recommended 
that a cell balancer be used when charging LiPo batteries. 
The ElectriFly Equinox™ is a cell balancer that may be used 
with any LiPo charger and is capable of maintaining the cell 
balance of the battery. Note: The AC/DC Triton2 EQ does not 
require a cell balancer.
