Yak 52.
The Yakovlev model 52 trainer was designed by the A.S. Yakovlev Bureau as the successor to their model 18 trainer.
The aircraft provides excellent handling from basic training through to advanced aerobatic training with "g" limits of +7 -5g with 2 crew.
The sturdy and reliable Vendeneyev M-14P/360 HP is the world's last in production radial engine.
The aircraft can be operated from hard runways, unimproved surfaces or even snow when fitted with skis.
Maintenance is relatively easy and can be performed in the "field". The Yak-52 offers performance and ease of operation, second-to-none. Original public domain image from Flickr
