Yak 3 compressor drive shaft

Tue Feb 04, 2020 10:01 am

A long shot, but does anyone out there operate or know an operator of an Oranienberg built Yak 3?
My buddy over here in England is looking for a replacement compressor drive coupler to replace a sheared unit. The shaft connects a standard AK50 Russian compressor with the Allison auxiliary drive, and looks to be a custom component.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I think Fighter Flights's Yak 3 is one of those although it was totally rebuilt by JEM Aviation here in New Zealand. Contact JEM Aviation at Omaka as they are the go to people for Yaks and Nanchangs in New Zealand.
