That's another of the new-build Yaks. Apparently the jigs have now been bought by interests in Bulgaria who are a lot easier to deal with than the Russians.
Jim's comment (Jim and his wife are the owners of the one I shot) was the aircraft is extremely well built and came with a set of assembly cradles and everything needed to put it together. It is certainly not built like a Lada.

Here's a pic of my friend James who came with me on the flight and was very helpful. He's extremely knowledgeable when it comes to aircraft and writes many articles for warbird magazines. He is also putting a series of books together.



James took several pics of me in action. Here's one from the Piper Seneca we were using as the camera ship.
