Well, guys...I finally found a Yak I could swing! It's a Wisconsin Winter project, but hopefully not too in-depth of one. I'm going to be trucking it home. My question is for those of you who've transported these aircraft over the road: Any tips? Leave the gear down and locked or fold it and rig some type of pedestal/dolly? Is overpass clearance an issue if I leave the gear down? (What is the height to the tip of the rudder?) Any big secrets to hoisting the fuse onto a trailer? And what is the distance from nose wheel to mains? Are wing panels moveable w/ a couple guys or am I looking at hiring some extra man power? I'm gonna need help in the engine compartment: wires, hoses, possibly a carb or at least a carb rebuild. Who's "the connection?" Any advice / input would be greatly appreciated! I don't know if I'm worthy, but I must say I'm HONORED to join the ranks here! My goal and hope is to climb out of my -52 at Oshkosh in 10 months - w/ RED STARS proudly velcro'd! You'll know me by my ear-to-ear grin! THANKS for the inspiration to get my foot in the door, Gentlemen!!

Rico,
You are going to need to pull the wings off to transport it overland if I understood you correctly. Unless you can get a police escort all the way to where you taking it to Wi to rebuild her.
Dennis Savarese can tell you slot more about getting this bird ready to move overland. Generally the wings are pulled by taking the wing root fairings off first. Then you will have to disconnect the airlines, the oil lines to the cooler, disconnect the aileron push rods, and disconnect the flap torque tubes in the floor of the rear cockpit. Then you are going to have to take the wing spar bolts off. To do that you are going to need a gantry to hoist the aircraft in front and back. Jack stands under the nose jack points will help stabilize the front of the aircraft while you ate pulling the wing. You will need at least four able bodied men to help move the wing. That has to be rep eared on the otherwise also.you need make wing cradles to transport them also. With one wing off, you will want to mount the transport truck to the wing spar ilets. Keep the fuselage on the gantries while you pull the other wing off in the same manner as the first. You may want to pull the prop off also to decrease the risk of damage in transport. If you have an enclosed trailer it make it easier but not totally necessary. With the fuselage on the transport trucks the tail will be low enough to easily fit in a shipping container. The nose wheel will need to be left extended.
It is your call concerning taking the tail feathers off or not. if you do obviously you will have take the cables lose. Take special care not to let the trim cable unspool. Dennis can give you a lot more tips and guidance on this subject.
Congrats and good luck with your project.

Rico,
Hope you didn't buy the "project" I'm thinking of up there in WI. It may cost more than one in current license by the time you get it done. Of course I understand the concept from the data plate up restoration.

Hey, Dennis
Is there a parts manual available for the 52?
Thanks!
