| Subject: | Why is the T34 so overpriced? |
A CJ6 costs a third of the price, gives the same performance, is better looking,
has more warbird feel.
A Yak 52 is a 4th of the price.
Even some T28s and AT 6s are cheaper than T 34s.
Is it because it has a Continental engine and are easier to replace, get parts
than all the other planes I mentioned?

Its 20 knots faster than a CJ and 40 knots faster than a Yak 52.
It has American military heritage (and was used by numerous other countries).
Cockpits are much more comfortable and roomy.
Parts are easy to find and no metric tools, screws, etc.
The T-34 is very reliable with a very low mx per flight hour requirement. Any GA
mechanic will be familiar with and comfortable working on it.
Baggage compartment is about twice the size.
Its certified so no restrictions on operations.
I have owned T-34s since 2009. I have owned a Yak 50 since 2011. I regularly operate
and maintain both experimental and certified aircraft.
The Yak 52 is a steal and the CJ-6 is very good value. They are both very good
airplanes.
In the end it comes down to mission, maintenance, and preferences. Its a bit like
asking the why the A-36 Bonanza costs more than a B-55 Baron.

I have a friend who have had many warbirds, P47, P40, P51s, Hellcat, T 28s,.
Showed him my CJ6 and he loved it, said is as much warbird as any of the ones
mentioned.
This is when the T 34 conversation about why is so overpriced started, and we couldnt
figure it out, most T34s are even a lot older than most of the CJ6s out
there.

If T-34s were over priced they would not sell. In fact the market going price
now is $200k and rising because aviators like the US iron. Also, Yaks and Changs
used to be a GREAT deal! In the late 90s and early 2000s we were buying M14Ps
for $5k and Chang motors were being given away. Current M14P prices rival
Lycoming/Continental prices and are getting to be very limited. The T34 is
a great plane and parts are plentiful. Having owned a nice T34B I was always
scared of the ADs and Beechcrafts hatred of the plane but it sure was EASY in
daily MX compared to my YAK in about every way. But my new Epsilon trumps them
all

Agree with Todd. The CJ is a great airplane and may be one of the best
overall values in aviation. Mine stated out as a sad project back in
2009 and was awarded the rubber chicken in 2010 at Porterville for the
ugliest airplane. It's slowly evolved into something nice with the help
of the CJ community here in central Arizona. Attached are some before
and after images.
The only downside is the amount of maintenance it takes to stay on top
of things. Without Jill and Doug, it=99s certain that I=99d
be flying something different. Love the CJ, but wish that I could fly it
as much as I work on it.

I will want to tackle in the future and I'm paying close attention to all the
opinions. BUT, I have to ask for my education into this, where does one obtain
new B-nuts. Is this something Doug sells or where do I get them?
