The Airplane



This airplane has been SOLD.





This summer my friend Phil Brown passed away and left behind this beautiful Aerostar S.A.manufactured YAK-52 TW serial number 0112232 . The engine is the 400 HP M-14 PFX-DK and the propeller is MTV-9-B-C. Phil was the original owner and it has been cherished it's entire life. It has only been outside at airshows and has 105 hrs total time airframe/engine and propeller. Phil's illness forced the YAK into storage in 2006 until his death in the summer of 2013. The airplane has been returned to airworthy condition and has flown 10 hrs.

Front Cockpit

Here are some pictures of the front cockpit, you will notice that there is no Directional Gyro we think Phil planned to install a Sandal electronic HSI.





 
There was a gray vinyl material glued to the side walls , this has been removed and we have not been able to locate it. That is the glue you see in this picture of the RH sidewall.


Here is the lower RH panel, you can see there is a little moisture in the static system resulting in some fogging of the static instruments. They work fine.




Here is the Radio rack , Apollo SL15M audio panel, SL 30 Com, and SL70 Transponder.










The left side panel, the Garmin 696 is NOT included.





There is plenty of space to add additional breakers and switches on the 3rd buss area.




The caution/advisory panel.
