  • wow that plane looks quick, couldn't weigh more than 1800 pounds.

  • Yak 50.

    Very close on the empty weight. I think it is 1690.

  • what plane is this?

  • Yak 50, 82-2308.

    Overhauled by Nerka in 2002 or so.

    Bunch of hot-rod mods since I have owned it here in USA.

  • how much did that yak50 cost you?

  • ... everything!

    Lots of mods over the years with far too much "invested".

  • That plane looks like it really dislikes sitting there in one place.

  • Radials also were lighter and more reliable than their liquid cooled counterparts. The Navy preferred them because of their reliability, compactness (short noses meant more planes parked on a carrier) and power output. Anyone that ever flew with a P&W 2800 called it the smoothest running engine ever. Yes, they use lots of oil-- but that also keeps them cooler running.

    Downside, when not running, the oil pools in the bottom cylinders, requiring oil scavenging pumps.
