The Carl Goldberg Yak 54 EP was a balsa/ply, park flyer-sized, fully aerobatic electric radio controlled airplane originally designed by Carl Goldberg Products, Ltd. of Oakville, Georgia USA. Intended for release in the latter part of 2006, the Yak 54 EP was in production in China during negotiations for the sale of the company to Champaign, Illinois-based hobby distributor Hobbico, finalized in August 2007. As a result of the negotiations, the model did not appear in the final independent Goldberg catalog nor did it appear in Hobbico's dealer newsletter, Great News.

  • The Carl Goldberg Yak 54 EP was a balsa/ply, park flyer-sized, fully aerobatic electric radio controlled airplane originally designed by Carl Goldberg Products, Ltd. of Oakville, Georgia USA. Intended for release in the latter part of 2006, the Yak 54 EP was in production in China during negotiations for the sale of the company to Champaign, Illinois-based hobby distributor Hobbico, finalized in August 2007. As a result of the negotiations, the model did not appear in the final independent Goldberg catalog nor did it appear in Hobbico's dealer newsletter, Great News. The model was added to both the Goldberg site as well as Great News in December 2007. One production unit, shown in the photograph, was pre-released for review by The E Zone, the online electric flight magazine of RCGroups.com. The prototype was designed and built in Russia by Yakovlev Design Bureau. First flown in 1993, the full-scale Yak 54 (also referred to as "Yak-54") is powered by a 360-horsepower radial engine. Only one is in service in the US. Known as Russian Thunder, its current owner is Jim Bourke, owner of RCGroups.com. Finished with four colors of Hobbico's Oracover covering, The Yak 54 EP came roughly 90 percent complete with its full hardware package, fully painted and finished fiberglass cowl, finished and framed Lexan canopy and a spiral-bound assembly manual. A computerized radio with a minimum of four channels, all onboard electronics, outrunner motor, electric propeller and spinner were required for completion. The model has since been discontinued by Great Planes.
