Allison powered and based on a modified Yak 11 wing and Fus.
Whether it is out of the new build Yaks from a few years back or done from an imported Yak 11 project I don't know.
Just looks like they modified the rear fus to resemble the Yak 7.

Perhaps the name of the manufacturer suggests imported as a Yak-11 and converted during rebuild?

Ran off the runway at KCJR last year, wiped out the u/c, bent wing, prop and reduction came off. Was being flown by the previous owner for the new owner. Now in the FBO hangar at CJR with new (not brand new, new to this airplane) wing installed, slowly coming back together.

What a poorly worded report!
Quote:
The pilot stated that he applied left brake to correct for the drift, but was successful.

Ambiguous to say the least. For 'successful' read 'unsuccessful'? For 'but' read 'and'?

Quote:
Once the preparation was complete, the left wheel was rotated by hand. When pressure was applied to the left brake pedal, the left wheel stopped rotating. Additional pressure was applied in an attempt to move the wheel with no success.

Pressure applied to what? The wheel? The pedal?

We aren't talking literary style here, it's supposed to be technical writing to unambiguously explain the facts. Twice in just two paragraphs unnecessary ambiguity is introduced by a failure to properly proof-read the report. I'd bet someone just went through pressing 'accept' for suggested spelling changes when 'unsuccessful' became 'successful'.

Sheesh.

[Edited to make it gooder English.]

Oops! :D

Point is I'm not being paid to explain something technically, and clearly. Poor English, but it was still unambigiouslyos. :roll: You got what was paid for. ;)
