What a dissapointment!
I have been reading this thread for many months now, and I have been on the list for 3 of these 87" Yaks for a long time (1 for me, and 2 for my friends).
All three of us have bought our new DA-50. I feel like I am re-living my Dave Patrick Extra nightmare all over again.....

To be a little more accurate in my expressed dissappointment, I would not miss the Yak if the new mistery plane flies as well (including the 3D stuff), as long as it is not a bi-plane.
In fact, I never thought that the Yak looked that great; but I was sold on it because of the flight videos, and because of Chris' evident search for excellence and sense of ethics.
I can only hope that this next plane flies as well. I am spoiled with my 42% Extra 260, and 33% Extra 330L. The 87" Yak is the only 50cc plane I have seen perform as well as the bigger cousins, and the size makes it more manageable, so I would fly it more often.
By the way, will the 87" Yak waiting list be tranfered to this new 50cc design?
