Thanks for the information -- that was very
useful.

I had found your excellent web site in my YAK
information searchs. I think it was your site that
tipped me off to what a poor choice the YAK
would be for me.

It is mainly the restiction that makes the plane entirely unsuitable
for x-country. There is also the issue of passengers. I am
looking for a plane that CAN be flown aerobatically (with
suitable W&B limitations) but that can also be used for taking
up 2-3 passengers to the beach -- in Florida -- or to Las
Vegas for the week.

(I live in Texas.)

The YAK was practically ideal until I realized that using it
for transportation of my wife and one of my daughters was
not going to be within the limitations.

I even had a good chance of affording a YAK.

Now I am trying to track down an aerobatic Sundowner
or older aerobatic Bonanza.

An aerobatic Bonanza would be ideal if I can afford one.
The Sundowner sounds like a "better Warrior or Archer".
Which is fine with me because most of my experience
is in those Cherokees.
