Well... despite your input, I think I'm going to try the YAK. I haven't even competed yet and I think I want to get myself through at least one season of competition before I invest in a larger airplane (money is a concern since we are trying to have a kid). Plus, I REALLY like the Yak design... it spins flatter than any others out there, knife edges better, and I love the way it looks in rolling harriers. Maybe by next year EF will have their 100cc version out (that should come with carbon tubes, double truss horns, etc etc... PLUS, I already have a brand new DA-50, a KS pipe, a Fromeco power system, and 5 8611's sitting here.
