Dennis Sanders and Dale Clarke built one from a T-6 airframe. Not sure where it is now. It made it to Oshkosh one year (I think the engine expired there). Not to be confused with Guido Zuccoli's authentic Boomerang which the Sanders family restored.

: I know a few Yak 11's have flown with bigger engines and n
: ot done too well with them, but is the T6 airframe capable
: of taking the power of an R3350 or R4360 ?
: Has anyone ever tried it ?
