| Let's take a closer look at the wings first. Have your ever heard of the "TAVS"-technology, developed by CARF-Models? Well, it stands for "Total Area Vacuum Sandwich" - making the wings so strong and stiff, no wooden or foam-sandwich plane can compete with. A rib and spare structure inside the wing is already prepared for the aluminum spar tube and all the servos. Its made from high quality balsa and plywood, and - where necessary - it is coated with fiberglass or carbon. The speciality of all our Yaks are the beautiful wing and stab fillets, forming one piece with the rest of the wing. That's only possible with our full composite-TAVS-technology! |

All hardware to install the aileron servos is included. You'll find phenolic frames for your choice of JR or Futaba servos in the hardware bag. You always should use one servo at the position close to the wing-tips. It's your choice, if you go with only 2 servos per wing or if you want to use 3. In the last case, you can couple 2 servos and mount them to the first rib of the wing. Of course, all phenolic parts shown at the pictures are included. |
| The stab's inner structure is made from fiberglass-coated balsawood to keep it lightweight. You have to glue in some plywood-frames to mount the servos. Again, there are frames for JR or Futaba included. |

The fuselage is stiffened with kevlar and carbon fibers where necessary. The engine dome is a special encapsulated unit and is also used as the landing gear mount. A real piece of engineering! All popular 120-170cc twin-engines fit under the easy-to-remove cowling. |
| The landing gear is special at all our Yaks! We are using giant carbon tubes to resist every less-than-perfect landing. The tubes are made in molds of course, and they already have nuts for the wheel shafts inside. Each leg is supported by the fuselage's outer skin and inside at the engine dome. That makes it absolutely bulletproof. Another nice side-effect: Each leg can be removed only by loosening one screw. That's really convinient, also for smaller cars... |
