I really liked the gen 3 or 4 102 yak, they flew really well in freestyle and precision.

I really wouldn't invest a lot of money in a plane that I could not get parts for. JMO.

Quique's shop still has some parts. Quique says in the annoucement that he will keep the shop open until March 25 2009 or call Chief Aircraft as they have the rest of the limited supply of parts.

I see Chief has all the spares, i have just bought a QQ python 3 months ago and am not concerned about spares, im not planning on crashing it or hopefuuly ill get a spare somehow. My ef extra needed a new cowl and well many months later i still cant get one due to our distributor going out of business, so no cowl for quite a while, so i just fixed it, not as pretty as a new one. Getting spares is not allways easy for any plane, especially here in the uk.

Id take a chance but thats just me, would i buy another plane from any manufacturer, who could be next to close, of course i would just a shame QQ's gone as i wanted a 102 next year, looking at aeroworks to fill the gap.

None unless you can get them DIRT cheap. And by the quality I have seen from them lately, $600 for a 100 cc airframe is a good price, if they were still in business and you could count on at least a year's support in service and spare parts. But since you can't, i'd only consider a 100cc for $450 or less and a 150cc at $950 or less.
