Yak Group
I'm looking at replacing a large bubble canopy on my yak3 with a more
original and "safer" two-part Yak-11/7 type canopy.
Does anyone here have a yak-11 canopy for sale, with or without Plexiglas,
or, maybe suggest where I could find one?
The problem with the current one is that it cannot be opened from the back,
and even if it is open, it's not so easy
to get out from the back in an emergency. (picture attached)
Any ideas?

Mike,
You are right about getting rid of that canopy. It just don't look right
.
It is ugly!!!

Yep, that was it. Got some new screws & going to put it back on tomorrow. Without
it, no rudder control for the gib! Thanks for the help.

Tom;
Further to my last - confirmed today that identification is correct.

I suspect you are attempting to cast aspersions but I will treat your
question as serious.
No, I am not an expert on absolutely everything. I am just more familiar
with more parts of physics and engineering than most people I have met. I
also tend to test things by experiment. I do a lot of test flying of
airplanes to see what they really do, not what other people tell me that
they do. I tend not to trust "conventional wisdom" until I can understand
its origin.
For example, I was told from a very early age that one should never turn
back to the runway after an engine failure on upwind. OTOH, the turn-back to
a downwind landing is normal in a glider after a rope break above a certain
altitude. I wondered why it isn't the same with a powered plane. So I went
out and experimented. I did several attempts in different aircraft and
determined that the turn-back is a viable maneuver in some aircraft from
some altitudes but not viable in other aircraft. These included actual
turn-back to a dead-stick landing. It is one thing to do it at altitude but
it is also very helpful to do for real where the visual cues are different.
In addition, one of the things I am really good at is systems analysis. I
have an uncanny ability to look at a system a quickly deduce its points of
weakness and the ramifications of failure of various components. I tend to
then go about redesigning systems in aircraft I own to eliminate
single-points-of-failure. FWIW, the CJ6A presents an AMAZING number of areas
for improvement. I have never owned a Yak52 but suspect that its systems
would respond to similar analysis.
I guess you weren't around here 10 years ago. :-)
