Yes, it's replica of Yak-3 build in Czech republic. They also have build replica's of Bf-109 and P-51 Mustang. All three airplanes 80% replicas and have Rotax engines.

Many of those vids have the real engine sounds dubbed over. It bugs me.
Remember that the original Yak-3 was small compared with WALLIED fighters. Yak-3 had a wing span of 30 feet 2 inches (9.2 meters) and a maximum take-off weight of only 5,946 pounds (2,697 kg). Yak achieved its great performance by wrapping the smallest possible airframe around it 1,200 hp. Klimov engine ... developed from a French Hispano-Suiza Y12.
Compare this with an American P-51D with a wing span of 37 feet (11 meters) and a maximum take-off weight of 12,100 pounds (5,488 kg). It's Packard merlin engine made more like 1,500 hp.
