Description

Unlike many Yak-52s on the market, G-BXAK has undergone extensive inspection & maintenance during its current ownership. The aircraft has been completely reviewed throughout, including a wings-off inspection as part of the 600-hour airframe extension. The upgraded M14PF 400hp engine & MT three-blade propeller were installed by the current owners & transform the aircraft’s performance, providing stronger climb capability, improved aerobatic performance & smoother operation. Fresh from annual inspection, this is a genuinely sorted example that is ready to fly and enjoy immediately.

With 1,488 airframe hours, the aircraft remains in regular operation & presents extremely well throughout. The cockpit retains the classic military trainer feel whilst benefiting from practical modern avionics upgrades. The powerful Vedeneyev radial engine delivers outstanding performance & is complemented perfectly by the modern MT propeller installation & smoke system. The aircraft offers an ideal combination of warbird ownership, aerobatic capability & high speed touring.

Recent maintenance includes completion of the annual / six-month inspection & associated rectification work. Engine time stands at approximately 265 hours since new/rebuild & 221 hours since top overhaul, with the MT propeller having approximately 12 hours since zero time overhaul. All aircraft, engine and propeller logbooks are present & available for inspection.

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly developed Yak-52 with exceptional ownership history, significant upgrades & maintenance carried out by recognised experts in the type.
