I've got my Yak all ready to fly but am waiting for winter to leave since it came back and ruined our lives![]

This is my first ever Arf and I have to say that it's impressed me the whole way through. Excellent packing, no wrinkles and still has not wrinkled even after sitting out in the sun. Everything went together perfectly with no troubles at all. Good hardware included in the kit and I love those control horns, they seem to be very strong and I doubt one would ever fail. Canopy latch is awesome!

I got mine in all white so I could do my own color scheme however that red and white option looks great in my opinion. I just wanted something that didn't look like everybody elses.

With a surplus G-38 laying around I decided to mount that up. I have one in my TF Stinson and it's a great reliable engine. With plenty of power and that plane weighs a ton. I've had the Yak running with a 20x8 prop and that baby has a ton of pull. I'm guessing it will be off the ground in 20 ft if I really wanted it to be. My real goal is to have a good precise airplane to fly IMAC with. The extra weight of the 38 does not concern me at all due to this. At some point I may install a C&H ignition so I can shed the spring starter, magneto, flywheel etc. Dry weight is 13.5 lbs.

Overall, my opinion of this airplane is high and I have not flown it yet. I'll reserve my final judgement until then but for now I love it! EF really seems to know their stuff.
