Default OMP Yak SP-55M Maiden Flight

We had beautiful weather today for the maiden flight. With our skillful test pilot Mike Pilkenton at the sticks it went great. He throttled it up broke free from the ground and had it in 3-D mode in a hurry.
Here are some pictures of it on the ground before the flight.The last picture is my OMP Yak 54 next to the new OMP Yak SP-55M just to compare the difference between them. Mike will have to post the in-flight shots and I am in the middle of uploading the video to Youtube. Once I get it uploaded I will post the link.

How long before it's on the market. I'm looking for one that size. I'll even buy a prototype if I can.

Well if all goes well I'm still hoping to have kits by Toledo. They will go on sale at that point as well. Stay tuned to the website for updates.

Thanks Mike. I'm in the market for either one of those or the 70 Katana. I'd rather have the Yak.
