Yes those are awwwessume aerobatic planes. However the Yak 55 / 55M (which of course is a toy) is pennies more than a nice 308. Remember these are basically all single seaters, unless you pay even more $$$. It is like the typical 80/20 rule. The Yak gives you 80% of the Sukhoi performance for 20% of the price. Unless you are into hardcore competition, why would you pay the extra $$$ to reach for the Sukhoi ? Save your Rubles and Dollars, for the "Hot Senorita" to fire up your APU and other items in Mexico.
Skip Holm came to Klamath Falls last week to trst fly a newly restored Mig 21. This one is a two seater that was produced in 88. What a rocket ship. Got 2 stand on,very close to the runway for all test flights--what a rush. Will post pix next week when i get back home. Doing maint on the p-51 in Vacaville this week.
