Re: Quique's original TOC Yak54
Thanks Ryan. That's interesting as I thought top fliers prefer composite?

Re: Quique's original TOC Yak54
I dont know what they prefer, but they definitely are not all flying composite.

They usually fly what they can afford.

Re: Quique's original TOC Yak54
No. QQ's forst Yaks from the 2002 TOC were wood built by Wayne Ulrey. The 3W comp fuse/foam wing came a year or two later.

Re: Quique's original TOC Yak54
I never flew the wood ones. They were prototypes and were a lot heavier than the 3W composite ones.
