Plan built Yak 54.
Built from plans downloaded from AeroFred.com
I downloaded plans for a Yak-54 from AeroFred.com. My intention being to laser-cut the parts and build the plane.
The downloaded plans are a vector PDF and imported easily into LightBurn. I don't know if the plans are unfinished or not but there are a few areas where they don't quite match a Yak-54 or where some modification is required. None of these are major or difficult to overcome.
Some of the modifications I am making are:
I am not going to rush the build as it looks like we will be in lockdown for some time yet. This is also my first attempt at building an aeroplane from plans so I have a lot to learn.
