How is the parts market?


You can get just about all the parts brand new from the factory. There's been such a like of these airplanes in the "Western World" that the Nanchang Factory has restarted production of most of the spare parts and there is talk (although I've not seen any action yet) of a potentially certified and civilianized CJ being built at some point.

I understand that the only way the Russian original beats it is in the event of undercarriage failure when it can escape damage by landing on the partially exposed wheels, and using the brakes!


The YAK 52 has a much stronger spar. +7/-5 g's

All Russian aircraft used to be built like bridges. As tough as they come!

Compare with the CJ's. I understand the CJ's don't have a high of a g-load as the Yak 52 does.
