My FIRST WARBIRD! - YAK 52 | Learning to Fly the Yak 52 + Aerobatics! POV & Voice Over

This is my first step on my Journey to joining the World Championship Air Race! Yes, that's my goal! More on that in an upcoming video...

On Today's video:

WOW I absolutely love flying the MIGHTY Yak 52.

The Yak 52 is definitely an advanced aircraft and requires time on a CSU, retractable undercarriage aircraft due to it's speed and maneuverability.

I was so fortunate to have this opportunity to fly this machine and I'm absolutely in love with the rumbling radial sound, vibrations and the way you strap this monster to your body.

The Yak 52 is an awesome aircraft and I highly recommend you try one out if you're looking for an exciting aircraft to fly.

BONUS: You can fly aerobatics in the Yak 52 and even compete up to Intermidiate class.

I have been a pilot for 12 years and I've always wanted to share these experiences on YouTube.

The inspiration for this car builds, my YouTube channel, and what I'm creating comes from my own want to get involved in the car culture that I love so much but I've never jumped into.

CHANNELS SUCH AS

-TJ Hunt

-Illiminate

-Adam LZ

-Jimmy Oakes

-Evan Shanks

have been a cornerstone in my life for the last 10 years and I have enjoyed watching them grow, work on cars and drive amazing sportscars, JDM cars, and supercars.

Now it's my turn, thank you so much for your support!

Hey I was wondering about the type rating, I was under the impression that a pilot only needs a type rating for aircraft that weighs more than 12, 500lbs or is jet powered. Ik these airplanes have more than 200hp so would a pilot need a high power endorsement? I know it’s important to get trained in new aircraft but would it just be a transition training and not a type rating?

I had one for about 10 years. My wife made me sell it it because she thought my son might kill himself in it! The UK CAA were also getting difficult, and there was question mark abour corrosion in the wing spar. Love the paint job on this video.

Which war as the Yak52 in? The paint is nice but am I the only one wondering why bright yellow trim would be painted over camo? Maybe the war was fought over a lemon grove.

Gorgeous example of a Yak 52. Really nice. I got my first ride in one yesterday. I may be in the market for one! The only critique I have is that you seem to understand how cool the sound of the radial engine is...but you play music over the sound of the engine. That's a "head scratcher". :)

Awesome video, can't wait for more like these. Keep up the good work!

[FangDigitalArt]

Love the video such an awesome perspective, super cool and easy to understand while you explain whats going on too !

Great aeroplane and you flew it well. I did my training with the 52 guru Gena Elfimov, I still have my share in a 52 and fly when I can. Well done! :)

That is awesome! What is the typical fuel burn and operating costs?

[scottboelke]

What kind of camera and attachment are you using? I only have one GoPro and i suction it to the side front glass. I don't use a helmet in my yak. What's the phone on the right side for?

[ilikeplanes]

That plane looks so much nicer than 718

Why is the 52 a warbird? It's not a plane used in war. It's of 80 or younger age. It never flew in wars. How can it be in the same league as a P40?
