YAK 52
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience of owning and operating a YAK 52?
A friend and I are thinking of setting up a syndicate of about six people.
I've looked around, the few that are for sale (shares and aircraft) seem to put the average value at around 35k.
I'd be interested to know what the realistic running costs are (I have looked on the net and have produced some, I think, some reasonable figures) per hour and per month.
I've never been in or set up a syndicate before, so any advice on that subject would be most welcome.
We like the look of the YAK as we are both professional pilots and looking for something we can have a bit of fun in outside of work, we like the kind of warbird feel/look of it and the fact that it could still be used for lunch aways as well as a bit of aeros.
Any help you can offer appreciated.
