Default Re: Aerotech YAK as first acrobatic plane

If you are careful about what you put in the Aerotech plane, you can get it under 18 pounds pretty easily. Average weight from a weight-concious builder is in the 17.5 pound range. Given the true 1400+ squares on this plane, wingloading won't be too bad if you get it that light. One thing to consider is where to buy one - the Aerotech site says out of stock...
