Greetings all. I am currently in the market for a Yak-52 or CJ-6a, and after talking to the very helpful Jerry at Wild Blue Aviation, I decided to follow his suggestion and ask on the list if there is anyone in the mid-south who has either aircraft that I might try sitting in? I am currently based at KASG (Springdale, Ar) and can fly pretty much anywhere in a 300 mile radius in a morning. I currently have ~1500 hrs in a Grumman Cheetah, and about 30 hours in various other aircraft. Jerry's thought was that I might find the Yak cockpit a bit tight (I wear a 52R jacket). So I thought I would try finding one of each to try on. Sitting in a Mooney back when I bought the Cheetah was good for immediately knowing that a Mooney wasn't the aircraft for me (and 3 visits to the Chiropractor). If the Yak cockpit is too tight, that stops a whole branch of work off the bat.


Thanks,

Aaah...Scott. Get ready for a flood of highly biased opinions. With at least a nod to objectivity, suggest you purchase the Nanchang CJ-6A Buyer's Guide found on the RPA's web site store. Go to flyredstar.org click on the store and then find Manuals.

I wanted to thank everyone who replied to me, both on and off list. I will be contacting several of you individually soon. I have found that one indicator of a good product, be it car, airplane or whatever, is an enthusiastic user community. Yak and Cj's would appear to qualify on that count.


Thanks, again.
