Years ago I flew a YAK 18...Great plane. I can not remember who made the Plane I had - it was 25+ years ago!

Recently I have been looking for a YAK 18, .60 size or bigger, largely for nostalgia reasons. I managed to locate EuroKit who has (HAD) a gorgeous 18 FG kit, 9 ft W.S.. Alas it is out of production! EuroKit located enough parts for me to build a plane, and the price was right, but the $1,000 shipping from Italy was not.

So how about some ideas? Anyone have one of these EuroKit Yak18's? Any other suggestions where I might be able to find this old bird?

Thanks,
Rick
