Yak 54 - any good?

Saw one of these neat machines recently standing on the apron of a small airfield (in Germany). Sadly I didn't see it flying but I have to admit there was something about this thing that really got me (probably the 400hp radial engine haha ).

Has anyone here some experience with this neat machine? How is it compared to lets say an Extra? How good/bad is it with maintenance? Of what quality is the Russian engineering? The few I find for sale don't seem too expensive... so where is the catch?

There's rarely anything to find in the www so any input is much appreciated!

Cheers
