can you explain what that light colored framework around the engine is? Is its purpose to support the cowling only? I believe the diagonal member seen near the firewall is part the engine mount is it not? thanks

@jtflyer

Its just that, framework to support the skin. The Yak-9's engine mounts is indeed the diagonal crossmember. You cannot see the rest of the engine mount as it is under the engine.

haha floppy propellers

The scoop on the top is appropriate for a late Yak-9 without the chin radiator. Check out the Yak-9U at the Museum of Flight.

Distorted prop, shutter speed too fast.

[GOZR]

Too bad they added the scoop on the top.. It was perfectly fine before !!

@GOZR Didn't have a choice, that's how Allison's get air to the carb. The original engines for Yak's are made from unobtainium.

@klesmer

No, i know that plane very well, i flew it and worked on, The scoop is a mistake and false believed.

[klesmer]

@GOZR Don't know man, every other allison powered Yak around has the air intake in the top. Merlins is on the bottom.
