We've got several of the 88" Yaks at our field. No one has really had a problem with them, but they sure do bounce around a lot when you fly off of grass. I've seen some of them spring out after landing, and have to be bent back. I personally replaced mine with a nice carbon fiber gear from GraphTech. I like it a lot better, and it looks good. Everybody that still has the old gear says that it saves the plane on a hard landing. That is true, but if you notice, the new 100 cc Yaks that are going to be out soon to the public, have carbon gear. BTW, I'm on the list for one.
