Help! Unidentified Yak

Hi guys,
Just picked up a project Yak. The guy told me it was a Maxford. I have been unable to find any info on this plane. It covering looks like the Extreme Flight but it is not. The ws is either 74" or 72" I can't remember. Hoping you guys could help me to figure out where this comes from! Maybe it is a laser cut kit? I just don't know.

Thanks

Afriend of mine has one of these in his hangar. Purchased it used. I'll see if he knows the company name.

I am 100% positive that it is a WillHoby Yak 54.
I had one in the same color sceem, I just changed mine from the checkered tail.
I had a Brillelli 36GT in mine.

Tell me some more info on what you have in it.
Mine flew really good. I only have a few pictures and no video at all.
I sold it when I moved into all 100cc planes.

Hmmm, I have one of the Green Models (Maxford) 25% Yak's in the old color scheme, the fuse is different internally, they use a distinctive cat eye shaped lightening hole too....
