We just went through the YAK - 52 search and buy process.
Advice: spend a little extra to get a cleaner airplane. $45-50K sounds good until
you see the cost of recovering the rudder, air system upgrades, parachutes,
five point harness, FOD barrier, and Auto plug mods.
iPad and a Stratus for X/C flying.

Excellent advice! Putting it another way, you really do get what you
pay for when buying a Yak 52.
There was a Fram oil filter commercial a few years ago which definitely
applies when first buying a Yak 52. It went something like this:"You
can pay me now or pay me later."
Let me know if I can help.
Merry Christmas

Reminds me of myself 15+ years ago when I was just getting into this. Put another
way, a friend of mine has a saying that could not be more true...
"The bitterness of a poorly maintained airplane lingers much longer than the sweetness
of the price." 'nuff said.
In general, they are both great airplanes. The Yak is a terrific, purpose built,
aerobatic trainer. It even has it's own category in the World Aerobatic Championships.
If you are interested in competition style aerobatics (negative
G, snaps, etc.) and don't plan to do much cross country flying beyond 300nm, then
the Yak is a great option. If you are looking for something with good aerobatic
capability but can still get cross country at a reasonable speed (140KTAS)
with 2 people plus bags for a week, a bit more room in the cockpit, and a
bit more stable, then the CJ is a great choice. What you really need is a CJ
for formation and cross country, and a Yak-50 for local fun. ;) I still miss
#001, but I digress. Bottom line is it is prudent to write down what your current
flight profiles will normally be and then go fly them both.
One word of caution for both airplanes, and any warbird, is to get proper spin
training before learning any aerobatics, particularly in the -52. The -52, while
completely predictable and reliable in a spin, has some unique characteristics
that will surprise the uninitiated/inexperienced pilot. In a bit of shameless
self promotion, I'm finishing up my CFI specifically so I can give this
type of training to people in our community, more on that in a separate post.
In any event, you will not find better bang for the buck warbirds than the CJs
and Yaks. Welcome to the adventure, it only gets better from here. Please let
me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Doc, you need to buy some of my rudder pedal extensions, they make great stocking
stuffers. :D
Fly safe!

Hi Skyjockey,
I agree with all of the previous responses you have received, both aircraft are
fantastic just a bit different capabilities.
In 2011 I chose the CJ-6A and have been extremely happy I did. Great aircraft,
incredible construction and fun to fly.
However; an illness in my family forces me to sell our beloved Nanchang.
N92862 is a 1965 CJ-6A, 285hp Huosai HS6A, AFTT 4493, Eng 799.
KX-155 NAV/COM, KI-204 VOR/LOC/GS, Garmin 296. Lots more.
$70,000.
