Russia's finest military training aircraft can now be purchased in the "West" at very realistic prices. The YAK-52 is a 2 seater tandem aircraft with fully inverted flight and aerobatic capabilities to +7g-5g with two pilots and full fuel. Registration can be either UK "G" registration with a permit to fly or Hungarian with a full C of A. In the USA the "Experimental" register is used. Both cockpits are equipped with an IMC panel with 3 gyro instruments, a non tumbling horizon, remote slaved magnetic DI and a T & S. The standard radio is of 720 channels (760 post 1991) and a 8 channel, all frequency selectable ADF. Both are UK class 3 CAA approved. All primary controls are fully duplicated. This is an easy aeroplane to fly aerobatics, instruments (IMC) or cross country.

"Chipmunk price, fighter performance" Air Marshal Sir Kenneth Hayr RAF retired, owner LY-ANH.

"Beautiful inertia with prolonged verticals, a good aerobatic instructional aircraft" Ian Austin, QFI.
