Yak 52 Russian Trainer Balsa GP/EP 1540mm (ARF) (US Warehouse)

Die Beschreibung

The all-metal Yak-52 is powered by a 268 kW (360 hp) Vedeneyev M14P 9-cylinder radial engine and was a descendent of the Yak-50.

It was designed to serve as a military trainer with the development of the aircraft incorporating a number of features found on the early post-war fighters namely the tandem cockpit layout, tail design, tricycle landing gear, mixed fuselage construction (monocoque with steel tube construction), inner flaps, controls position, access panels on sides of the fuselage, even the location of the radio antenna and overall dimensions of the airplane, strikingly match with the Yakovlev Yak-17 UTI jet fighter trainer.

At 998 kg empty weight, the Yak-52 is responsive and very capable as an aerobatic aircraft. Yet it is also easy to fly and land. It has been used in international aerobatic competition up to the advanced level. It is stressed to +7 and –5 Gs, rolls (to the right) at 180 degrees/second and is capable of every manoeuvre in the Aresti catalog.

The Yak-52, like most Soviet military aircraft, was designed to operate in rugged environments with minimal maintenance. One of its key features, unusual in western aircraft, is its extensive pneumatic system. Engine starting, landing gear, flaps, and wheel brakes are all pneumatically actuated.

This model of the Yak-52 captures the graceful lines and mean look of the full size airplane and the weathered, detailed finish will turn heads where ever you fly. The model has been designed around a .40~46 size 2-stroke or .61~70 4 stroke engines though equally at home with an equivalent size electric motor. It is supplied with fixed landing gear but it is easily converted to retracts, the wheel wells are already installed. It is a sport scale model of the Yak-52TW (Tail wheel) which is great as you can operate it out of rougher landing strips with ease.

The model is of balsa and lite-ply construction and is fully covered in a scale weathered camoflaged finish. Also supplied is a fiberglass cowling, landing gear doors, machine gun detail and hand painted pilot.
