thank you!!
I just weighed it, so far, under 23 pounds.
Motor + canisters/headers = 12 pounds
radio + batteries and fule tanks = 1.5 pounds
we will be up to roughly 36.5 pounds
I do not know how much the covering and paint will add,
Possibly total weight under 40 pounds????
that would be amazing!

It looks great. As much as I love my Extra's and Edge's, it's good to see a Yak 54 being built.

there has always been a special place in my heart for a Yak. Love the round cowl and the 2 place canopy.
The pins are dry, took the wings off and took some pictures for you all to see. They are composed of titanium, 1" long, does not weigh much. It is glued in with Hysol. The aspect of the pin that is in the plywood has been scored, so that the glue will inter-digitate with the pin and wood. Helps to lock it in there.

For the plywood plate, what thickness do you use and do you glue a few together so that it sits on the wing phenolic?
I just weighed the wings/ailerons:
right wing = tip=11.4 ounces root = 22.9 ounces (34.3 ounces or 2 pound & 2.3 ounces)
left wing = tip = 11.4 ounces root = 23 ounces (34.4 ounces or 2 pound & 2.4 ounces)
right aileron = tip=3.8 ounces root = 5.8 ounces (9.6 ounces)
left aileron = tip = 4.3 ounces root = 5.4 ounces (9.7 ounces)
right wing/aileron = 43.9 ounces
left wing/aileron = 44.1 ounces
looks like left wing is about .2 ounces heavier
based on these measurements, should i change anything. The wing tips, aileron tip and root, are not capped yet.
