Egon;
First...good for you. Does that fill your hangar or are there to be
others?
Tailslides, ahhhh! I was trained in my -52 (also -55 and SU-29) by
Azat Zaydullin, Ukraine National Champ with 1000's of -52 hours. We did
tailslides, I believe the manual was shown to me to indicate "All Aresti
maneuver" are acceptable in the -52, the tailslides both wheels up and
wheels down are listed in Aresti.
The key, same in the Sukhoi, is to "freeze" the controls as the slide
initiates and absolutely- positively do not allow the controls to be
slammed around during the slide. This will take some effort at least
initially until you learn the pressures that will occur trying to rip
the stick out of your hands sometimes. When ailerons and rudder are not
perfectly centered and elevator is not forced to remain against the
stop.
I was also taught three tumbles (gyroscopics) in the -52, also flying
backwards somewhat during the tumble. Lomcevak, Abra-ca-dab-ra, Adel
Weiss. The -52 tolerates "Ulimited" figures well also prop @ 100% (I
know that gives some of you chills - and I respect that).
An authoritative source here in the US, I would say, is Nikolay
Timofeev. As an Aeronautical Engineer and as Russian three time World
Champion with at least 100's of -52 hours I would listen to him (as I do
RE:my SU-29). His e-mail niktim@earthlink.net Also a great one to
teach you proper tailslides or whatever, and available from FL.
You'll love the -52, do it all, get the best dual, make sure there is
nothing besides you and what clothes you decide to wear (pockets totally
empty) inside prior to any acro.
Oh yes, learn all the emergency recoveries, flat spins et al. You will
not - for sure - flat spin out of any tailslides. Why? Because, other
than landing and power off spins, the other time ALL power is removed
(prior to slide). No power - no flat spin. She may slide more or less
depending on technique but will always "play lawn dart" sooner or later
with that M14P on the front. Any power left on at the time of slide
makes her torque and not a pretty slide.
Respectfully, Rick B
Comments? Mark - you there?

Gday all!
I have just purchased a Yak 52 to keep my CJ company in the hangar and
to feel twice as insulted the next time there is a Yak vs CJ discussion!
Seriously though, one of the Yak manuals I have has several question
marks next to tail slides under the Aerobatics section. What is the
consensus amongst you Yak 52 gurus out there? Are tail slides ok or not?
Thanks in advance.
Egon.
P.S. Life sucks, dont it?
