I'd say the La7 accelerates better, personally.

And Netaces agree's with you (although the numbers are differnt, the results are the same).

When flying the Yak, I find the La-7 is my favorite 1v1 fight.  This probably has something to do with the fact that I know I can't dissengage, so I might as well enjoy it lol.

In a 1v1 I think they are fairly well matched, with the Yak having an edge in turn and handling, while the La-7 holds the rest of the cards (unless it somehow runs out of WEP).  If I can force the La-7 to slow down a bit, I'm usually confident I can win, however if the La-7 stays fast, things get a lot more sticky.

But the Yak is a POS, no one should fly it. (the more for me!)

but since yak-9U is slightly close against La-7, id say that the yak-9U is a re-badged la-5 or la-7 and veteran pilots still respects you when you fly yaks instead of La-5/7

Just my opinion here but I take the LA7 over the Spit IX any day of the week....I just make sure I use it in the realm it is meant to fly and that is below 9k.  Anything above 9k with WEP is a waste of your gas and WEP......
