A friend of mine has just bought one. He paid a little more than that but it is a very nice one. I did try to get him to get an RV and I almost convinced him but at the last minuite he decided on the Yak. He loves it and is currently doing some flying with Gennady Elfimov, punch his name into youtube, some very interesting flying. When I went with him to look at it Mark Geofferys at Little Gransden who looks after a lot of YAks showed us his invoice book for the annuals averaging about 2-3k. My friend gets anywere between 40-55ltrs an hour. They run on a CAA permit to fly. Can't say much more than that has he has only had it for a few months.
