Finally nailed the max performance takeoff and it was mind blowing fun.

Nice video! I used to live near Brown (next to the Poggi VOR). I seriously miss flying out there!

Brown Santa (UPS) dropped off a big box from Jill at M-14P.com today, used Yak-18T spinner. I threw it on for a quick test fit and must say it completely changes the front end of the plane. I have always felt that without a spinner the Yak's look unfinished. Also got a new wing step (tough to mount up without the step). Going to order western style wingtips next week and then get the LED Nav/Strobes installed - making progress!!

Really cool plane. At the risk of offending, I kind of like it better without the red nose. Maybe it is the rudolph red color. Perhaps it'd look better in that white or brown paint.

Gimp, what is the overhaul cost of a Yak engine? I was just at my CAF Wisconsin Wing meeting and learned the cost of an eventual overhaul of their big 9-cylinder SNJ. Yikes.

Absolutely beautiful plane! Congrats looks like a hell of a lot of fun to fly!

Whenever you land at an airport, shut down and open the canopy, you BETTER yell at the line guys with a think Russian accent "Zis ees you-crane, no?"

Awesome plane, btw.

Or better yet:

"I defect! Take me to see President Reagan."

You mean, he would demand that you take him to your leader?
