I got my pilot today but it looks a bit big. Can you guy's please chime in and give opinions please. I'm thinking of swapping it. Thanks.

Looks fine to me. Frequently I see pilots that look too small. Yours looks good.

Looks fine. Google some pictures of the real thing, Yaks are farly small planes, only about 2' across at the cockpit

I agree that the pilots usually look too small. These planes in 'real life' are just big enough to fit an engine, a pilot, and some gasoline.

Looks good to me. I could not find an aftermarket helmeted figure to go into my 50CC extra so I finished up purchasing a "helmet ash tray" off ebay. I pulled out all the insides - battery tray, exhaust fan etc and painted the visa. Finished up looking pretty good and close to scale.

when did areobatic pilots start wearing full face coverage helmets?
Just for fun last night I did a google image search on all types of aerobatic, airshow, and competition planes and could not find a single image of a pilot wearing a full face crash helmet. Military style open face helmets, yes. But full face, no.

Maybe I just didn't look hard enough. But the helmet looks good anyway. ;)
