Mine (with a three bladed prop and M14P) outperforms an Extra 300L (with four-bladed prop) as for climbing performance. Not for aerobatics of course, since the roll rate is too low. But it has the looks, the sound and the behaviour of a small fighter. I love it, although it is very demanding as for maintenance.

As for maintenance, I have not found mine to be anymore labor intensive than my 52. The 52 was zero timed refurbished in Lithuania and the 50 was IRAN'd at Shakety. With the 50, I have some issues of my own creating though but time spent with her down is pretty minimal as is the 52. It has half the systems of a 52.

Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: Yak-List: Avionics A very functional radio that will fit well in the original VHF radio control panel slot (with an adapter plate of course) is the XCom round VHF radio. It is a 2 1/4" round (57mm) digital flip-flop radio with the capability to monitor the standby frequency and with a built in VOX key intercom should you wish to use the capability. Very cost effective. http://www.xcom760.com/ You will need a voltage converter (28V to 14V) for this and most other small, compact VHF radios.
