Haven't really looked at the Yak List before and while doing so today came across
this thread and noted the comments about the Radial Rocket.
The factory prototype was not sold. As the OSH and SNF 2007 approached they ran
out of time to build a new demo and pulled the prototype off the market.
The factory in addition to a straight kit and quickbuild now offers what they call
a roller and super roller.
The rolleris basically the fuselage and wing structurally complete, mated and onthe
landing gear. This would put you about 6 months from 1st flight and the super
roller is all composite work complete with the plane ready foor sand, prime
FWF and systems.
The current kit price is $52,550
Fast build is $66,475
Roller $116,250
Super Roller $135,250
If you build from a kit I estimate for a basic VFR aircraft you can be in the air
for about $155,000 out of pocket.
I have about 2100 man hours in mine but bear in mind I have never built anything
before and the learning curve, for me, was horrendous
These are not yet advertised on their website but if interested give them a call.
I just completed, late last year, the second flying Radial Rocket with the PF powerplant.
I get 205Knots TAS at 14.5GPH.
Re the landing gear I looked at this at great length and the speed benefit just
wasn't there to justify the extra weight, cost, and insurance expense.
Re parts and service. From the airframes standpoint there isn't any component you
couldn't fabricate or repair yourself in a well equipped RV builders shop.
Once you have the kit you really do not need the factory which given the history
of most kit manufacturers was important to me.
The factory website is
You can see photos of mine at
just watch the homepage slideshow.
You can download a performance spreadsheet at
by going to the radial rocket or m14 forum on this site.

Subject: Yak-List: OSH 2008 Committee
Time is a wasting. We need to get the committee for the 2008 CJ-6 50th
anniversary up and running. So far I have 2 people for a possible 10 + man
committee.
Positions ;
Flight Operations Officer + helper
Special Flight Operation Officer.
Ground Operations Officer + helper
Finance Officer
Public Affairs Officer
Activities and Do-dad Officer + helper
Plus whatever I haven't thought of + helper.
Every organization has an event in its history that marks and legitimizes
its existence. This is that watershed event for our organization. On my
"hero wall" in my den are pictures of the first 4 or 5 guys who flew that
first time at OSH, when we were just a club. Some have "gone West" and some
still make that OSH pilgrimage each year. We've seen the numbers grow
slowly to a steady 25 to 30 aircraft. To legitimately enter that 50th
anniversary category, and "come of age" so to speak, we need to put 50 CJ-6s
over that airfield. And we need to plan an event that no self respecting
CJ-6 pilot will dare miss. Plus we want our Yak brothers to not want to
miss the spectacle either. That will legitimatize us as pilots who made the
right choice to buy, fly, and love our machines.
"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here and
hold their manhood cheap while we speak of this day-"
Shakespeare's Henry V
Some of the honchos at EAAWB have already let me know they are all for us
and awaiting our plans. We have some ideas afoot but only a committee can
hash out the realities and either discard them or punch them through.
Give me a call (386-559-1942 cell or 386-467-3313) or e-mail
cjpilot710@aol.com.
I need the help.

I think it also is a parts price issue. Some of the cost for the items for an uncertified
airplane are astronomical! One nice thing about the FAA rules here
in the states is that we can make most of the parts!
Since I cannot find a replacement for my main bottle, one will be made that will
ultimately be better AND cheaper. I think the folks across the pond in the FSU
underestimate our ability to adapt and overcome. They may price themselves
out of business.
I was recently sent pictures of what is arguably the nicest piston powered Yak
in the world! What makes it nicer is that it is a Yak-50. The air system on the
airplane is totally new and is a work of art. Very little of the original equipment
was left. Shows what some ingenuity can accomplish. The rest of the airplane
is equally stunning.
