The shade of paint suggests USSR or Russia?

There were a good many countries in the USSR besides Russia!
But no not Russia and only just USSR.

Yeah, already thought it looked familiar to me.
You cannot zoom out much further without giving the game away.
Belarus isn’t it?

Bear has it.
Sadly I get the impression this thread has had its day. Interest does indeed seem minimal.

Apparently it flew well, had good short/rough field performance and had an nusually high payload vs its empty weight.
There's video of it flying on youtube.

Thanks Mel,
we will just carry on until some newbies get interested. For which Aerodrome this seems to be the case so nothing lost.

Don't recognise the radio bottom right - perhaps an older model?

basic GPS on top of the panel bolted on as an after thought

This looks like a kit plane to me??

Blowing up the image - the hand written sheet in the centre looks like it's an aerobatic maneuvers diagram

The radio looks like a Garmin 295 or one of the variants. Quite an old piece of kit now. The harness looks like a 5 point Hooker. The Arresti sequence is too blurred to make much out. I will see if I can sharpen it. There must be an G meter there somewhere, maybe bottom right. Single seat aerobatic taildragger, maybe an early homebuilt Pitts S1?

I think you mean the GPS is an old Garmin? Certainly looks like it - anyway that fits with the radio which doesn't look recent to me.

And it looks like a prop blade visible mid left - and there isn't an equivalent on the other side so it's either two blade (unlikely I'd guess) or 3 blade prop?

Yes - home-built kit aerobatic aircraft - circa 1998.
