Glad you like it :)
Yup, the inspiration came right from these youtube videos you mentionned, hence the "deadstick" take-off.
Ever since I saw them, I wanted to try in a sim. I tried in the 2 big civie sim but it wasn't much fun, ground details were too low.
The Yak ain't no SuperSTOL but it's a lot fun in DCS.
I made the skin, I'm working on a small pack with a few of these weathered liveries, should be ready pretty soon.

Completely unrelated, another WIP skin, for the fictional Mudspike Air Delivery company
