This is a very well equipped, low time, and well maintained 2003 Yak 52TW which is great fun to fly. It is a wonderful aircraft for aerobatics, formation flying, taking to airshows, and weekend get-a-ways. The front cockpit is equipped with a Dynon Skyview EFIS, JPI Engine analyzer, fuel flow computer, and auto-pilot. The engine is a M-14PF - 400 HP with a 3 Blade MT Prop. The aircraft has a re-manufactured oil cooler which solved the overheating issues prevalent in many unmodified 52TWs. The ignition harness has been replaced with the more reliable US system with American Champion spark plugs. An engine Clean Kit is installed. It has an oil shut off value controlled from the cockpit with ignition interrupt for safety. It also has an oil sump pump installed as part of the kit. There is an intake value located under front cowl to quickly and easily resolve hydraulic lock-- no need to pull spark plugs. Smoke system - a customized 9 gal smoke tank is built into the leading edge of the left wing. Most aircraft have a small 4 gal tank in the rear cockpit which greatly reduces legroom or they use one of the auxiliary fuel tanks which reduces range. This tank, designed by Cliff Coy, does not interfere in the cockpit nor does it use one of the aux fuel tanks. Hooker Harnesses - 5 point harness with dual reversed acro lap belts are installed in both cockpits. This aircraft has always been maintained by the N.E. Yak experts at Mort's Aero in NJ.

90 hrs since overhaul by MT Propeller

The front cockpit is equipped with a Dynon Skyview EFIS with integrated multi-mode autopilot, fuel flow computer, moving map, terrain protection, and navigation. The radio is a Garmin SL40 and the transponder is a Garmin GTX 327.

A Sigtronics intercom, which is designed for higher noise aircraft, is installed. It has a JPI 9-cylinder engine analyzer. A custom pistol grip with radio transmit and autopilot disengage is installed in the front cockpit. There are two free buttons still available for other functions. The rear cockpit has a Dynon D-10A EFIS. The plane has a FOD kit installed in the tail which prevents anything from jamming those controls. The engine has heat pads installed on the engine, oil tank, and oil sump to allow you to pre-heat the oil and engine on cold days.

The aircraft has a Japanese Zero paint scheme. It makes money at airshows and other events. There is a fantastic opportunity to make good money if the owner is in the NY, Philadelphia, Washington area. Will provide an introduction.

Military gray with matching Hooker Harness 5 point aerobatic seat belts. ( The front seat harness has double aerobatic ratchets. )
