tough choice

Many thanks for the recent posts.

I am still on the hunt for some wings and still indecisive whether to go for something Russian (preferably the '54) or some older Extra 300.

I'm pretty sure both have their advantages. The Extra is probably somewhat more expensive initially but seems on the other hand a little more predictable
in terms of running costs, required maintenance and resale value since it is certified and quite common over here. The Yak 54 is on the other hand a little
cheaper to buy initially and it makes this amazing noise while looking somewhat exotic!

Regarding seating and interior the Extra looks somewhat more comfortable to me than the Yak but I will find that out first hand in the near future.

Gonna be a tough choice, it is a lot of money after all...


Cheers
