We just completed our first wet wing modification for a standard Yak-52.
9 gallons per side which pump into the mains. We can go farther
outboard for not a whole lot more labor.
We're quoting the second system at $6500.
E-mail me for more information and pictures!
Cheers,
Cliff

Cliff,
It depends on how much modification you want to do. I'm working on a Bladder
to replace the main and aux in the fuselage. You will have to do some sheet
metal work and some re-pluming to make it happen though. The total volume is
estimated at 52 gal. I do not plan to tackle this project until this winter
though. Will keep updated as it progresses. The bladder will have an acro
header tank built into it or I will use a 5 gal header tank from a 52. Have
not decided that yet. The existing manifold, overpressure return tanks,
primer lines, and vent lines are all well placed/designed so I'm not
inclined to want to change them. A couple of aeronautical engineers I know
are looking a
G loads on the spar and the bulkheads the box to house the bladder will sit
in. A couple of access doors will need to installed also to maintain access
to the brake differential valve mounted behind to the front of the spar box
behind the Aux tank. So far all that have looked at it say it can be done
but I am not ready to start nibbling my aluminum bulkheads yet.
