Romania is producing them - brand new - and they are available for purchase now.

Mulbauer as standard, or with either Hoffman or Whirlwind as alternatives.

compartment. It also has a permanent retractable ladder for easy access.
The wings have an additional integral fuel tank between ribs 5 and 9 with a fuel transfer
pump to supply auxiliary fuel to the main tanks (approx. 280 litres total). The oil dilution
system is eliminated. Cowl and oil cooler controls are in both cockpits.
Hydraulic brakes are standard, with toe brakes in both cockpits. The Yak 52W has
cleveland wheels with standard western tyres. Pneumatic system water drains are operable from both cockpits. Hooker harness belt systems are in both cockpits. Night lights have been installed on the wings, with strobes.
No more fabric on the control surfaces - they are full metal (same size as before). There
is a stall warning system. Western instruments, radios and transponder are installed. All documentation is in English. As with the Yak 52, this aircraft shall be able to take off and land on grass fields and has
the
same maneuverability as the standard Yak 52.
