INTRODUCTION
Having designed and flown hundreds of Yak variants over
the years, it is pretty evident that F3A and 3D World
Champion Quique Somenzini is what many consider the
Yak expert. Using his extensive knowledge of the Yak
platform, Quique has designed a new Yak that further
advances the performance of the popular line of aerobatic
aircraft. Just like the full-size Yak 55, the QQ Yak 55 10E has
an incredibly versatile aerobatic envelope. From insane XA
flying, to old school low and slow 3D, the QQ Yak 55 10E
brings aerobatic performance that is sure to please every
level of pilot.
The QQ Yak 55 10E includes the Aura 8 Advanced Flight
Control System (AFCS), which is the most highly refined 3-
axis gyro on the market! The Aura 8 AFCS comes pre-
configured and will make the aircraft fly like it is bigger
and flying in less wind. Due to its advanced programming,
it is unobtrusive, feeling like there is nothing in the way of
the pilot.
The QQ Yak 55 10E includes the revolutionary 6S Raw
Power System, delivering some serious horsepower.
Couple that with an airframe that is rigid, yet lightweight
and designed by world-renowned “Yakspert” Quique
Somenzini, and you get an outstanding aerobatic
performer. From mild to wild 3D, the QQ Yak 55 10E
delivers effortless performance, that is sure to quickly
become your new favorite flyer.
