You're thinking the LA-8. I went and flew the L-44 during the world cup. They both come out of Samara and the same engineering school. And are derivatives of the Chaika L-6.Where did you find that? Was that when the guys were doing their around the globe thing?
You are absolutely right, for some reason I thought there was a 42/44 derivative in there also.You're thinking the LA-8. I went and flew the L-44 during the world cup. They both come out of Samara and the same engineering school. And are derivatives of the Chaika L-6.
Very. I plan on having one imported as some sort of kit for a build.You are absolutely right, for some reason I thought there was a 42/44 derivative in there also.
Neat bird!
Sweet. An acquaintance was the original owner of this blue 42 -Very. I plan on having one imported as some sort of kit for a build.
I wish I could just buy one, but it'd have to come in as exhibition and that's worthless. So a build it will be. But there's nothing else even close in takeoff/landing distance, speed and useful load. I've looked everywhere for some sort of western analogue, but it just doesn't exist.Sweet.

I think he got over a thousand hours in that thing before going over to the dark side of the helicopters
We had good fun in exhibition, but I think it was due to Yak-52 being somehow military and same for Aerospatiale Gazelle - those were exempt from faxing proposed destinations stuff to the feds. Do they still require that?I wish I could just buy one, but it'd have to come in as exhibition and that's worthless. So a build it will be.
Ya, they still require that. I can see how exhibition works okay for Yaks and the various trainers and even the Migs that have been imported. You don't use those the same way.We had good fun in exhibition, but I think it was due to Yak-52 being somehow military and same for Aerospatiale Gazelle - those were exempt from faxing proposed destinations stuff to the feds.

But year, build would be better
I have so many questions. I'm not sure where to begin. So WTF is going on in that picture?Do tail tips count?

I always figured you were so fat, you couldn't see your own tip. Good for you!View attachment 44954
This is no doubt the worst airplane for photography that I’ve ever flown. Doesn’t stop me from trying though.
Might get a little less participation, but I support it! Will call my buddy with his 310 and see what he's doing next Thursday.
