It was done to the CJ, in fact it was a tail dragger first, the CJ5. Get one of
those and up engine it and you have what your looking for. Simple as that. I
belive there are some in USA with big engines.
A couple of CJ5 being offered in china at pressent at 250,000USD. hardly an investment!!
Just the seller has expectations that the buyers in the west have pockets
full of gold.

Anyone know what the cost of the conversion from a Yak-52 to a Yak-52TD
is? I wonder if it could be done to a CJ?

Ever since we put the 14P in our CJ, we have been opening the throttle
slowly at shut down. Never did have any problems because of it. As for the
fire cock, the only time I close it is when I land for my annual inspection.
Just want to check it still work.

Inquired about 6 months ago--kit was $50,000, they modify your wings or
exchange, they said it could be installed in 125 man/hrs.

"Inquired about 6 months ago--kit was $50,000"
50K for a freakin' taildragger kit? 50K will buy me an fastbuild F1 Rocket
kit. I can cruise at 250MPH with that. Why would an idiot put that much into
a YAK TD conversion? Better yet, how about that Radial Rocket kit? 44K for
that kit and then you really have something. I can use the engine out of my
52 and then junk the rest and still be ahead. But 50K for just a TD
conversion? Somebody ain't pricing things right.
