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.

Fun plane all around. This thing is a blast to fly the 6s power system is definitely worth it. 3ds really well and does crazy KE spins and high energy stuff. QQ designs really good stuff!

My favorite plane…….and I’ve got the Extreme Flights, Precision Aerobatics, etc. Very powerful, super responsive, easy and forgiving to land. Flying in 25 mph winds is a hoot. Can’t say enough good things about it.

There were no surprises putting the aircraft together except for the CG. This is the first aircraft that I measured the CG from the rear of the outer wing tip forward. I was disappointed that the C-clip from the rear motor shaft was missing just like the noticed stated. Other than, I have no complaints. The aircraft flew flawlessly. Tons of power and it flies like it is on rails with or without the Aura 8 being on. With the Aura 8 on maneuvers are made easier and landings are simple. If you’re looking for a plane that can feed your need for that 3D capable at a reasonable price, this is it. This has become my favorite aircraft after the second flight.

I don’t know why there are not more positive reviews of this plane. This winter in NJ there has seen little if any snow on the ground so we get to fly in freezing weather with 15 mph crosswind and sun low in the sky. The freeze/thaw cycles have left the grass field a battleground – But we fly ! The Yak 55 10e is excellent. I do not even check wind velocity – just charge up 6 – 7 packs and off to the field knowing the Aura 8 can handle the wind.
The stock aluminum gear is holding up well.

This and my PIRAÑA are pretty much my go to planes to fly. Easy to transport, fly in any wind and performs awesome maneuvers. Can’t say enough good things about these Flex Innovations planes. Well thought out and a blast to fly.

Will not disappoint! As a rookie,pilot ,the setup ,assembly was a snap. Instructions are very concise with no confusing blather. Robert H our local Flex Innovation rep is awesome in both out going personally and knowledge of the product. Quick start rates are excellent for my flying and need no tweaks. Put plane on its back, wingtip or anywhere, it stays right on track! Thanks Robert and Flex Innovation for a great Aircraft!

The Yak is a very good plane. With the 3 aura modes it goes from cruising to crazy, has plenty of power, tracks great, fits in the car. I’m lov’n it and am practicing sport flying with it. One of the best planes I have owned. I added the carbon fiber gear, took off the wheel pants and put on 4″ tires for our grass fields. Had to add a little plywood and an extra strap because the battery (1550mA 6S) location for getting the COG right was quite far back, close to the carbon spar.
