Key Takeaways:

  • The Yak 52 has been meticulously maintained by its second owner since 2006, accumulating approximately 410 hours without issues, always hangared, and had its most recent condition inspection in November.
  • It features a heavy spar, a 2008 Whirlwind prop overhaul, Nav/strobe lights, Mode C transponder, and a robust M14-P engine with good compression and replaced valve cover seals.
  • Recent work includes front tire and brake valve replacement, and the sale includes two upgraded seat pack chutes, with easy adaptability for a Sky Beacon ADS-B Out solution.

I am the second owner of the Yak since its import. The first owner is a very good friend and so I have known the plane since the day it arrived. The aircraft was imported in 2004. I bought it in 2006 with 63 hours on it since import. I have put on about 410 hours since then. Never had any issues. I’ve put many hours into maintaining the aircraft and trying to keep it in the best condition possible. The most recent condition inspection was this past November.

The Yak has the heavy spar and I had the prop overhauled at Whirlwind in 2008 and still looks like new. The engine has Champion aircraft spark Plugs with the original harness. It also has Nav lights, strobe lights and a Mode C Transponder with altitude encoder. No ADS-B, but since it has Nav Lights it would be easy to add the Sky Beacon wingtip ADS-B Out solution. 

The radios are Russian, but still work great. The intercom is Russian, but also works great. The plane has the FOD barrier. 

This past condition inspection I replaced the front tire and the brake valve. The plane has always been hangared.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. 

I am also including in the sale two seat pack chutes upgraded with static lines. The chutes are in great condition and recently inspected

M14-P Engine Runs Great, has great compression. All valve cover seals replaced so pretty clean for a radial. Engine always operated on 100LL and MMO in fuel. No issues with sticking valves.
