Jeff, sounds like you are well on your way to recovery. I'm still waiting for my YAK to get here. Should arrive tomorrow. Did you figure out what happened yet? Sounds to me like classic low end richness!![&:]
Here is a link to the YAK I went with. I'm sure you've seen it before as other companies sell it, just without the carbon fiber upgrades.

I'll let you know my impressions when it gets here. So whats up with the EF YAK? Is she flying yet?
