@icedragon99115 The Nanchang CJ-6 is a licensed variant of the YAK-18 not a 52, the Chinese only changed the fuselage and cockpit layout on the plane and left the cowling and wings the same. About 15 years after the CJ-6 the Russians built a YAK-52 and copied the CJ-6 design. If this did not answer your question then feel free to comment back.
wow i love old planes! do you own a few?? i like the biplanes alot:-) how is it with no navigation up there? wouldnt it be hard trying to land them? great vid!
@montecarloss85HO I owned the one that I use for my Icon. Navigation is pretty easy, almost everything in the air now has full instruments, or at least a compass, plus GPS is portable and cheap now. Landing is pretty easy too.
Brings back memories of flying out of Stone Mtn.'s field back in the 60's. on Sundays we'd just go out & watch, them I took ground school. Love this video!
@mbyr31 I got my license back in 82. Lessons were $35 an hour. I have no idea what they are today, I would imagine at least twice as much, maybe three times with the price of fuel these days.
@805ROADKING Actually, it's about $3500 total to get your license here right now. That includes everything. Thats not bad, but when you rent a plane (I would never be able to afford one myself!!) its about $80 an hour to fly. You don't get much in an hour of flying!!
neat, when was this

@icedragon99115 bubble canopy's are pretty much for comfort and just makes it easier to move around in the cockpit.
