  • i thought i could fly....hell this guy kicks ass!!!!

  • Never flew a Sukhoi, but sure miss flying my 55. The thing was a total gas, but had to go back to an S2B to keep the old lady happy for the second seat. If I hit the lotto I'll be looking for a Sukhoi.

  • Dude your saying that to a Decathlon pilot not a Pitts guy. Now if he is decent with a pitts then yes a Yak 55 is not out of the question as a 55 is way more stable. Although I have had a number of really decent Pitts pilots in the front seat of my Sukhoi that got the thing crossed up and out of shape... A suk is harder to land then a 55 but not by a big amount though...

  • I switched from the Pitts S2A to a 55M with no Russian type experience. After the first flight I concluded that the thing was so easy to fly and forgiving, that I would have to fly a Pitts once in awhile just to retain some piloting skills. The 55 is a blast to go out and hammer around and compete in (I only went thru Intermediate with it). I dont see much of a need for a bunch of 52 time prior to flying a 55. Get a good briefing from a 55 pilot and go have a blast.

  • grüße vom lsc ;-)

    das war bei uns am platz

  • Flugfest LSC Bad Homburg :D

  • Nice flying, I like the video.

  • About 18 gal /hr in a cruise... and about 37gal / hour doing hard training acro.

    If the engine is oil tight and and in good shape you will use about 1 liter of oil for a hard 20 minute acro training flight. In cruise it should not be more then a liter every couple of hours.

    Understand the 55 is very uncomfortable and un fun to fly XC. Its truely a close to home plane unless you really need to ferry it for a contest or show.

  • The 55 is a bunch different then the decathalon your used to. If your skills are decent you can make the transition fairly easily, BUT and I say BUT --> do not think you can make the transition on your own. You need some time in a russian airplane before you do it solo. The yak will hurt you if your not up to speed and ready for it, plus you need to learn how to deal with the MP 14, it is way different then an american engine.

  • Thanks...check out my website at bannerairways (dot) com

    Do you have any video without music? I'd love to hear the sound of that Vedeneyev M14...
