Yak 52, Startup and take off at Worms, Hammersound!

Yak 52, Startup and take off an Worms. Listen the awesome sound of the radial engine, catched with an external condenser microphone. Use good sound system to get tehe full sound of the Wedenejew M-14 radial engine.
Die Russen sind an die technologischen Herausforderungen immer ein wenig anders herangegangen wie der Rest der Welt. Ihr Credo war, "keep it simple". Das Einziehfahrwerk wurde nicht hydraulisch, sondern mit einem Druckluftsystem betätigt. Hinter dem Piloten befindet sich ein 60 bar! Druckbehälter.

Amazing radial engine, ever heard one start and run that smooth.

[@corvette724]

Hi Craig, pls check out too, my Vid about another russian Radial, the Polikarpow I 16 Rata. Search at my channel too for my flight in the P 51 with stick time. Cheers, Axel

Danke Dir, war zur richtigen Zeit am richtigen Ort.

I haven’t heard one these running for years. The one I did the annual inspection on was started pneumatically with a scuba tank.

[@corvette724]

hi, russion aircraft using often pressure reservoir. Too for gear retracting and brakes

[@Backyardmech1]

Axel Knoetig I remembered that and the gear up/down indicators are rods in the wings that rise and lower with the gear.

[@corvette724]

indeed, like at Yak 9- 11 too. The russions had an own tchnolgical philosophie.

Nice sound!

[@corvette724]

Thx, i used an external microfone for the Smartphone for better sound. thx

This plane seems to be directionally challenged, at least when taxiing. Note how at 1:35 the rudder and the nosewheel point in opposite directions?

[@corvette724]

never recognized. Russians do a lot of things different. May direction is only controlled by the brakes of main gear?

[@OfficialUSKRprogram]

It may be two years too late to reply, but if you still don't know, the Yak-52 (and many Soviet aircraft of the era including the Mig-21) have a pneumatic brake system, not like a truck though (although the Yak-52 does have it's own air compressor) more like air-powered bicycle brakes, activated by a spring-loaded handle on the stick, when you pull the handle, it let's air through the braking system, and before it makes it's way to the wheels, it passes by the pedals; if you push the left pedal, it only sends air to the left brake, push the right pedal and air only gets to the right brake.
Once you get used to it, you can taxi smoothly, but you do need practice. Also, on the Yak-52 the gear and flaps are also pneumatically controlled, I think it's better than hydraulics, you can run out of hydraulic fluid but you can always pump more air into the system.

I tried this plane, in dcs. It flies very very well..
