That sounds great Rallye Driver, what kind of flights do you generally do in your Yak? Do you go places, or is it a sort of 45min jolly plane? What speed does it do as I 've see Yak52s take off and they often seem to lift of in around 100yds then climb wildly. 400hp isnt it though?!
Don't forget that dry rates are great for people and their planes who often fly to the continent - cheap fuel...!
