Yak 52 Info?...Anyone?...Buehler?..

[Eagleflip]

Gang--

Trying to think through a potential deal on a Yak 52. Anyone here have details/info on the aircraft and it's particular idiosyncrasies?

Gotta love a radial engine, though....(yeah, I already heard. Buy oil. Lots of oil...)

Thanks!

Watch for old hoses with impossible to find metric connectors and other time limited parts. Lots of spares are marked "shelf plus service life 7 years" or something like that.
Do not drop anything in the fuselage - it tends to work its way back towards the tail and wedge itself jamming the elevator. Get some dual time with a CFI who owns one (check PM).
