That's a common misconception. Planes actually do NOT turn better when they're at 100% throttle. You actually make a wider turn, than you would if you cut it down to say 50% throttle. So maybe rather than turning at 100% throttle, cut it down to 50% or more if you like, and see how much better/shorter a turning circle you can make.

That's probably why you think the Yak don't turn well because you're flying at 100% throttle, when you should be cutting down the throttle going into the turn, and maxing it out as you extend out of the turn.
