It looks like there are 3 different overhaul facilities for these Yaks.  Termikas in Lithuania, Anbaras and Schachty, Russia.  Could you all describe exactly what was done to your yak at the various facilities?  Is there any difference between what each one does and the quality of work?  Anything you were unhappy with or issues that made it through that you later had to resolve?  The main question is what value does this overhaul add to the price I should pay for a plane or should that overhaul even be a concern?  Have the planes that have not gone through one of these facilities been fully complied with on the AD's or will that require a translator to figure out?



Additionally is one of these facilities in Rustov Russia?



Thanks again for all the replies, you all are a great resource.  I have read every thread on this board and the more I read the more questions I have.

The Lithuanian overhaul facilities should really be considered restoration 

facilities.  Restoration more closely describes what is done at the 

Lithuanian facilities.  Schachty is an IRAN facility and no where compares 

to the Lithuanian factories.  When an airframe is basically gutted and all 

the parts inspected, repaired or replaced, that more closely describes a 

restoration.  We can certainly duplicate that in the US, but it will most 

definitely cost more money.



As for value-added, it depends on what you are willing to spend because 

budget is always the driving force behind the decision to buy an existing, 

pre-owned airplane or to purchase effectively a zero time airframe, engine 

and prop airplane from a restoration facility.  The workmanship of the 

Lithuania factories is superb to say the least.  The fabric work is 

phenomenal.  Some of the best I have ever seen.



As I said previously, it really comes down to how much you want to spend. 

It you want the best, then have Termikas do the restoration.  If you contact 

me off-line, I can help you with that since I am a Termikas dealer.
