On ebay i found the following:

-------
Monster YAK-11
1st YAK-11 flown in Germany, all wood, big, not really lightwhight, fast (flown with a 108 ccm Gas Engine at arround 230 km/h ( 140 mph )), Wingspan 2,38m ( 94 inches ) at 18 kg ( 40 lb ). Now a lot to do, some cosmetics, some repairs and not finished convertion from two to oneseat. Should be back in flying conditions within 30h.
------

I won the auction with the a convertion to a racer in mind. now i'm not sure if i will build the red or the white/red/blue Maniyak. Ok- for a the full restoration as a Racer there will be more work then 3h ;-), but it will be worth the Effort, Just come back to to take a look to the actoal status uf the Project.

I will also thank Chad Veich and Mark (Pylon1) Kallino for sending me Pictures.

ohe full Storry is for now only availible in German
