Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that the project is alive and progressing well! Wind screen designed and installed, skin fabricated and being installed now. 28" spinner has been acquired, backing plates and cowl formers have been fabricated and installed.....
Pictures to follow a later date!
A guy by the name of John Panoski posted this on face book.
4500 hp Allison V1710 G. (Claimed) That said, my machinist who did the head work on that engine was hinting at similar numbers, so even if its running 3500 hp, its still going to scoot.
What's the difference between this Yak and the Yak 9?
Is this the same airframe that Czec Mate uses?
This is a Yak-3. Yak-9 is a much heavier long range air frame built as more of a bomber escort that pure fighter. Czech Mate is built on the Yak-11 platform which was radial powered.
Actually, I think this is a Yak 11 converted to run an Allison. At this stage, I'm not sure how much Yak is left, but there is a lot of custom there. I gotta say, it looks good.
