[NLPETERNL]

laten ze maar weer is paar goeie ouwe fokkers in mekaar sleutelen veel mooier dan dat russische spul!!

dat vliegtuig is miss 10x sneller enzovoort maar een paar nederlandse fokkers in de lucht is een mooier gezicht

[zoekja]

Yes the RA-3482K has a P&W R1830 but this is pure and only for mecanical reasons. Because the R-1830 is used on the DC3

[REYNALD0SALINAS]

looks more like a Lavochkin la-5 or la-7

[alabala327]

wow fuckmyself that's a fucking monster engine!!!!!

[groovy67]

I like the use of a B-17 motor on a fighter.Not a lot of Fortresses out there so why not use the on Russian fighters...excellent fit!

[Redhawk092]

@groovy67 Or strap it onto a Wildcat! lol

[klesmer]

@groovy67 B-17's didn't use PW-1830'S, they were powered by CW-1820'S. B-24's used both, the later ones all had 1830's.

[EvilxMerlin]

@klesmer

Actually the B's had R-1820-51's, C's R-1820-65, F's and G's R-1820-97.

[EvilxMerlin]

@klesmer

Actually all the B-24's from the XB model on up used the 1830's. Very few 24's were produced before the XB-24B, and almost all the A's were converted to C's with the 1830's anyways. IT wasn't till the D's were produced that any real amount of 24's were available.

[klesmer]

@EvilxMerlin Thank's for the info.

[flexyco]

Pratt & Whitney? Oh... jammer. Niet slecht hoor, hoopte gewoon op een Shvetsov.

[zoekja]

no, This yak has a P&W R-1830

[1Sy4ka1]

If it Yak3, then the motor on it not native. But it not Yak11

[hiergehts]

This is a Yak-11 (or Czech built LET C-11), NOT a Yak 3.

[zoekja]

haha funny thing, my dad owns this plane soow i think he knows best.

[GerbilEssences]

Does it have the same engine as an La-7?

[obenoffen]

Rick van der Graaf :-)

You are a happy one to be his son. Be proud !!

[Mattebubben]

@zoekja this is not a yak 3 since it got a different engine the R 1830 is what the M82 the La5 used is based of so it looks very much like a La since the Yak and La got Similar bodys

[Planebeach]

@zoekja This is a YAK 11 rebuilt as an YAK 3, sevral planes have been rebuilt as YAK 3s. Only thing is its got the wrong engine ;)

But its a butiful plane :)

[EvilxMerlin]

@Planebeach

Actually there is a lot more to it than that. The Yak-11 has a different fuse, wing design and tail than the Yak-3. A Yak-11 rebuilt as a Yak-3 is still a Yak-11 regardless.... its still a Yak-11 under the skin.

[blownglasslide]

Yeah, bro, the Yak-11 has a very different cockpit and fuselage.  This is a Yak-3. Some of them have been made with radials, P&W 2000s, I think.

[obenoffen]

The YAK 11 is completely different !

i.e. different engine.... a schwezow AsH-21

[metalmelvin]

Ik geloof dat u een collega van me kent, genaamd: Adrie. Ik had al gehoord over de Yak 3. Zeer indrukwekkend. Wat dreef u om een Yak-3 te bouwen?
