Yah, I just figured the solid red on the scope meant heavy rain, so I cinched up the crotch strap and turn on the continuous ignition.

One of the two companies that imported them back in the late 90's was located at the airport in the next town over from the flight school I owned. One of the perks of being a business owner. It is an incredible aircraft and very unstable(good aerobatic aircraft are). It's a handful when you first jump in. Actually, IMO, a more fun aircraft to fly is the Yak-52. It's easy to fly and it will do intermediate maneuvers really well, and some advanced as well. I have a pic of me buzzing a grass strip in one up north. I'll see if I can find it and scan it in. Stand by.
