Hey Apples,
Your close to my location, buy My Yak and shipping is free. BTW, It's still the Sox in seven.
Anyway, the pilot from Brazil also tore the gear out of his Yak on the very 1st flight.
So here is an airframe that Let's see..Has had flutter problems, verified and significant enough to have Wayne Ulery reccomend that you perform surgery to the elevators to balance them, an incedence problem that Quique adresses personally, telling owners how to fix that problem...a landing gear problem that has actually been fairly common, with suggestions from the designer on how to beef them up, (not to mention that the wheel pants usually punch holes into the wing bottoms when the gear fails)....
Bottom line..WHY deal with that. I might not be a pro pilot myself, but I have a hard time flying comfortably a plane that I have my reservations about. Does that mean My Yak needs a new owner? Perhaps.
Please understand that I'm not trying to run down the reputation of anyone's product here... as I think these are just valid concerns. These incidents have all been witnessed and verified.
No, it's not an epedemic like of the Hangar 9 Edge's wing problems.. But there are problems non the less.
Again, from what I have read and been told, Quique and Wayne's customer service has set new standards...
I just think it may be prudent to wait until another shipment arrives and gets out there into more pilots hands, the pros and the ham handed, and the tweeners...like Me
BTW My buddy up in New Hampshire is still out about two grand after reimbursing the chap who's Hangar ( 46% Ultimate he destroyed during the the 1st crash into the flight line wing the wing failed....
Oh Ya... the Yankees still Stink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
