RE: Extreme Flight - 87" Yak
YAK-OFF = RIP-OFF
This plane from KMP looks suspicously like the EF 87" Yak. This is purely speculation on my part, but is it possible that these are the aircraft that Chris refused shipment on? If so, that would mean that the manufacturer got paid twice! (Chris lost a chunk on that first batch). That would explain the low retail price the distributor has on the model (just under $400.00). If this is true, I wouldn't touch one. I'll wait for the real deal from EF. If I am wrong I apologize. It just seems that lately there have been a bunch of these rip-offs.

RE: Extreme Flight - 87" Yak
Looking at this plane for the spring and was curious what the ETA is for the people on the second round of planes? I cannot purchase before March and was wondering if the date was after that. Do not want to ask to be on the list if I cannot purchase it.
Also was considering a ZDZ60 with just a pitts style muffler, anybody else considering this option. Would it be about the same power as the DA50 on a pipe? Would the overall weight be about the same?

Ya - it's a rip off. I've sent that guy (selling the other yak) several emails about his Yak. He never responds to me via email or the posts I've made to him. I wouldn't touch that plane.
