Does anyone have a smoke system in a Yak 55? I have the
Smokingplanes system in the Yak 52. Mounted in the rear deck. I do
not like the location's effect on the CG especially with a back
seater. Although I did inverted spins and tumbles with the tank half
full and a 160 lb GIB with no effect on recovery. Its a little
inconvenient to fill also and it would be nice to have more
capacity. I have had good luck, good performance, and no maint
problems out of the system. Just wondering about alternatives for
the 55 - even if people have used the Smokingplanes system - I would
like to know how and where they have mounted.

Thanks,
Herb

Hello Herb,

"Janie", our Yak 52 (registered G-CBSS in the UK) has smoke system.
Installed by Yak UK behind the back seat. About 20 liters.
With a reversible pump and a refill point on her belly !!
Leaks a little bit but other than that ... no problem.
And Yes, we do Flat spins and Lomcovaks ... with smoke. Wink)
You can contact Yak UK or Termikas for more info.
See attached pictures.
Cheers,
Etienne Verhellen.
