Request made for Yak-50 in SoW

[dlian]

I liked the video of the Spanish-based Su-26s (in another post) a lot. I asked Oleg to consider including the Yak-50 in SoW if time and resources permitted in future. He said that he may consider it after SoW is launched - depending on how busy his team is.

Although the Yak-50 is outclassed by the very impressive Su-26 now, it does look a lot like a WW2 fighter. It was also designed by the son (Sergei) of Alexander Yakovlev - designer of the WW2 Yak-1, 3, 7, 9 etc fighters.

Wanting a warbird lookalike (albeit a poor man's warbird) is the main reason I chose to buy a 50, and then paint it in the same scheme used for my IL2 aircraft! In time, I hope to get a helmet camera to film both aerobatic flying and mock dogfights against other aircraft.

In the mean time, if anyone is interested in seeing a photo diary about my new toy, visit http://yak50.blogspot.com.
