Nanchang CJ-6

I've just watched a program on Disco Wings about the CJ-6. For the uninitiated this is the civilised (prettier) version of the the Yak 52. As I understand it, they both developed from the Yak 18 but the Chinese went for proper put away wheels and a more square look at the tail and wingtips. Oh yes, they put some dihedral on the outer wing panels as well.

It's just a personal opinion but I think the CJ-6 is a lovely looking aircraft, nicer than the Yak 52. I know that some people tried to get a CJ-6 on a CAA Permit a while back. Does anybody in Ppruneland know how they got on?
