I hate to break the news to you but you wouldn't compete at the TOC level with an 87" plane. What does the competition record of the president of a company have to do with the quality of planes that company is producing anyways? You sound like you have a chip on your shoulder regarding this topic. People have given facts and opinions about the KMP Yak, if you are satisfied with it that's great, enjoy your plane. If you read Chris' post about the circumstances that KMP came to be distributing the Yak you'd have more insight to the comments about it.
