Changing a Yak-55 to 55M?



Can an early Yak-55 long wing be safely changed to a

short wing 55M? What should one look for to see if the

change has been done properly?



Paul

You might check with Nik Timofeev in Ocala, Florida, niktim(at)earthlink.net.  He is a Russian engineer with a US A&P, Unlimited pilot and instructor and knows the Sukhoi/Yaks well - he does Annual Conditional inspections on them.



I heard Smash was looking at a beast like this in TX - is this the one?  I have my doubts you can properly bolt the short wing on a longwing fuselage - but Nik would be able to better answer this. I guess the better question would be...Why would ya?  I flew Unlimited with Smashes Longwing...

Respectfully, rick b

Paul, the long wing a/c is better for many reasons.

 

It has only one down side and that is roll not as fast. Neither a/c as

standard are suitable for UNL now unless....you put in 400, 430 or even the

450 HP engines, now you have a cheap UNL a/c. With the 430 HP you will have

better power than weight ratio. 

 

With a SU at over 200,000 USD and a 55 at around 70,000 put on a 430 with MT

prop your at least 100,000 USD better of !! .

 

Cheers, mj
