AIRCRAFT FOR SALE

Sukhoi & Yak - The world's best sporting aircraft

As world leaders in Russian aircraft and engines, we offer a wide range of aircraft products and services.  The principal of these are:

  • New Sukhoi Su-29/Su-31 aircraft. We remain the sole worldwide agent for these superb aircraft, but recent problems have meant that production of new aircraft is extremely slow and new aircraft are taking two to three years to manufacture.  Despite this there is a huge demand for these aircraft, which we are attempting to satisfy by purchasing used aircraft; and overhauling/modifying them as might be required by customers.

  • We also offer second hand Sukhoi aircraft. Occasionally, these include fully factory remanufactured aircraft - the equivalent of new ones in every respect.

  • We are the undoubted world leaders in Yak-18T aircraft, having now sold twenty-four of these aircraft to many countries, including most European countries; Australia; South Africa; USA.  In particular we have developed a wide range of modifications, which genuinely transform an already extremely versatile and capable aircraft into the one of quite extraordinary performance.  

  • We also overhaul Yak- 18T/-50/-52/-55 aircraft.

  • In terms of engines we are exclusive worldwide agents for both the Vedeneyev Design Bureau, the designers of the magnificent M14P family of engines and also for the Voronezh Mechanical Plant, the production unit where all such engines have been made.

  • We have developed the more powerful M14PF (400hp) engine, as well as the M14R (450hp).

  • We are now selling the M9F from the Voronezh Machine Plant, which gives 460hp in fuel injected form.

  • Spare parts - we have the largest stock of spare parts for Yakovlev, Sukhoi and Vedeneyev products in the world - current value approximately US$750,000.

SUKHOI - World Aerobatic Champion

SU26 PK-SDM 1.jpg (24882 bytes) SU26 PK-SDM 2.jpg (32288 bytes)

The Sukhoi range of aerobatic aircraft was originally designed before the break-up of the Soviet Union and was designed absolutely without regard to cost. This means that their technology is significantly ahead of any Western competitor, as for example :

  • Hot cured carbon-fibre main spars, for no heat sensitivity (i.e. you can paint the aircraft any colour) as well as a kevlar outer covering.
  • Titanium rather than steel in areas such as exhaust; battery box; firewall; undercarriage; wing-ribs, etc.
  • Forged magnesium for control linkages, whereas Western competitors tend to use welded steel, etc.
  • The use of the superb Vedeneyev nine cylinder geared, supercharged engine - the most powerful aerobatic engine in the world.

Certainly the Sukhois are the most successful of the world's aerobatic aircraft and, in terms of quality of construction, pleasure of flying, as well as incredible value, there really is no competition.

Sukhoi wins World Aerobatic Championship yet again!

Sukhoi was again the dominant aircraft at the 2007 World Aerobatic Championships, held at Granada, Spain.  Outright winner was Ramon Alonso of Spain flying an Su-31 and outright womens World Champion, Svetlana Kapanina, in an Su-26.  Importantly Ramon was using our new M14R 450hp engine and Zach Heffley, of the USA, despite only a few days of practice in an Su-26, which we had totally rebuilt and restored, won the overall freestyle - the most demanding sequence - using the first privately owned M9F engine. Finally Sukhois came 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th and 6th overall.

FOUR NEW SUKHOI SU-29 FOR SALE!!

Three sold

We are pleased to announce that we have purchased the four Sukhoi Su-29 aircraft from the Red Bull Aerobatic Team.  

Although new Sukhoi aerobatic aircraft are no longer being manufactured, they are still World and European Aerobatic Champions and there continues to be huge demand for these aircraft.  We meet some of this requirement by selling previously-owned aircraft from existing customers, but this is only four/five aircraft a year and does not meet the demand!  Also we are finding that the values of good Sukhois is increasing very steadily on both sides of the Atlantic, possibly because pilots recognise that Sukhois are the most wonderful aerobatic aircraft, whether for serious competition, displays or just for enjoyment.  Given the limited numbers of aircraft available and the extraordinary quality of the engineering, we expect that the values will continue to increase.

 Su-31

THE BEST EXAMPLE IN THE WORLD OF THE WORLD’S BEST AEROBATIC AIRCRAFT!

  

Serial No. 04-05 – 6th from last Su-31 made.

I try to describe aircraft as accurately as possible but I am in absolutely no doubt, that of the 24 Su-31 aircraft in the world, this is the best.

Although it has only had one owner and indeed only flown less than 250 hours since factory new, we decided to restore it to better than “factory new” condition.   At the same time all worthwhile modifications, from our large experience of these aircraft, have been added. 

The work that we have done includes:

  • Total disassembly to literally the last nut and bolt, and removal of all paint from every component.

  • A total structural examination with magnetic/x-ray for all metal components and ultrasonic for all composite components.

  • A new factory lifetime (valid for 6 years/600 hours).

  • Repainting of everything to the highest standard, including a very impressive exterior paint.

  • ALL structural bolts replaced with new (even when wear has not been discernable).

  • All wearing components changed for new, such as rudder cables; engine mounts; control bearings; brakes; tyres; flexible hoses etc etc.

Engine and Prop

Engine is a specially prepared zero-timed M14P (360hp).   Propeller is a factory new MTV-9-K flange-260-29. 

If desired the engine can be converted to M14PF (400hp) specification.

After completion we organised rigorous testing programme by Nikolay Timofeev – one of the world’s experts on these aircraft.  He inspected everything and conducted a test flying programme of 2.5 hours an said that it is a superb Su-31.

Avionics

The aircraft has, in addition to all normal equipment:

  • Dynon 10A flight information instrument.

  • Two miniature Becker Coms.

  • Becker miniature transponder.

(Instrument panel has been rearranged to incorporate these in the best possible way)

Extras

The aircraft has been rebuilt with all factory extras, and a variety of other very worthwhile additions which include:

  • Long range fuel (1,200km range).

  • Smoke system.

  • New Hooker harnesses in yellow.

YAKS

Yakovlev was the leading light aircraft designer in Soviet times, producing a range of superb aircraft, all with the heritage of Second World War Yak-3's and -9's - considered by many to be the best fighters of the war.

Current stock is as follows:

Yak-7B (2-seat)  SOLD IN RUSSIA

The last ‘new production’ Yak fighter

All pictures taken during final assembly at the Orenburg factory

The State Aircraft Factory in Orenburg , Russia was the manufacturer of many Yak fighters during World War II.  More recently they have manufactured a series of ‘new production’ aircraft, which have been designed by Yakovlev Design Bureau to incorporate better steels and to accommodate the well proven Allison engine. 

Some 24 aircraft were made, which have, for commercial reasons only, been referred to as  Yak-3 for single seaters and Yak-9 for what has been an extremely cramped 2-seater.  However the last aircraft made by Orenburg before production ceased was a Yak-7B – mechanically identical to the Yak-9 but incorporating a full second seat cabin. 

This is the only one made; there will not be another since all aircraft production at Orenburg has ceased, and it is available now. 

The aircraft was ordered by a Russian multi-millionaire, who was keen to have a 2-seat Russian fighter aircraft in which he could be flown, but having taken delivery of the aircraft he did not complete the items that Orenburg did not do and the aircraft was never finally assembled.

So what we are offering is the only new production Orenburg Yak figher to full Yak-7B specification.  That is as a front-line fighter but with a rear cockpit.

The aircraft is brand new; never even fully assembled and is being delivered, like all Orenburg Yaks, as absolutely complete, with the exception of:

  • Allison V-1710 engine

  • Hamilton-standard propeller

  • Avionics

  • Battery

  • Oil coolers (standard Antonov 2/DC-3 cylinder type)

  • Fabric on the control surfaces

  • External painting

Conversely it is complete down to spinner; exhaust-stubs; full cooling system with radiator; flying and other instruments; all controls; all fuel system; all wiring system and electrical system; complete undercarriage and pneumatic system.

The prices that have been achieved for these ‘new production’ Orenburg Yaks has been increasing very significantly and not only does this represent an opportunity to purchase the last aircraft made, but it is absolutely new, and requires relatively little expense to complete.

European prices for the last Yak-3/Yak-9 aircraft sold have been in excess of Euro 450,000.  

We are only asking Euro 220,000 for this unique example.

Price is for the aircraft ‘as-is’; disassembled and in an international packing crate and delivered anywhere in the world.

Yak-7B Project

An extremely exciting ‘warbird’ opportunity that is already well advanced and which will produce one of the most desirable and rarest World War II fighters in the world.

 

 

This is a TOTAL restoration being done to the highest possible standards of an original Yak-7B. It is NOT a ‘new production’ aircraft (fine though they might be), but a restoration of a Russian Air Force Yak-7B, which crashed in 1943.  The aircraft’s history is known, and although clearly damaged the condition is reasonable.  In addition we have a complete second aircraft, and two further Klimov engines. 

The original aircraft serial no 33153120 was a ‘high-back’ 7B and it is being restored as such.  From the point of view of historical accuracy we would prefer that the aircraft continues as a high-back, but clearly a purchaser would have the opportunity to change it to ‘low-back’ 7B if preferred.

For information line drawings of both types are shown below:

                                    High Back:                                                                                       Low Back:

Currently the entire fuselage has been completed and most of the tail-plane.  Clearly significant amounts of work remain, but we feel a 5-year programme from the date of purchase is realistic.  This obviously includes the total restoration of an M105 Klimov engine and propeller.

We would ask for a deposit and then stage payments on a formally agreed basis.  We would be delighted to discuss all aspects of this project with all seriously interested parties.                                   

Yak-3

We expect to be purchasing a single-seat Yak-3, again a 'continuation production' aircraft from Orenburg.  Lovely condition.

Yak-18A

Now one of the rarest of all Yaks, and particularly desirable since, although an earlier aeroplane than the 52, has a number of advantages including: considerably lower weight particularly when all the radio equipment is removed; cleaner and therefore faster; less emphasis on out and out 'inverted' aerobatics and therefore more pleasant to fly in less serious flying. Performance with the 260hp engine is very much the same as a 52 with a 360hp and with the 360hp the 18A is considerably enhanced. With the wisdom of the Soviet Union planners, the vast majority of 18As were melted down and very few are left. This one is currently undergoing a TOTAL restoration to 'as-new' condition - every component has been disassembled, inspected etc - a full range of photographs are available. Euro 65,000 (and will doubtless be worth much more in the future!), following total restoration, but in standard specification and excluding any ‘extras’.  (European VAT/sales tax not included.)

Yak-18T 

Another superb Yak-18T

Available as outright sale or five shares, including current owner, at £18,000 per share

Aircraft to be based at White Waltham Airfield, Maidenhead, Berks.

With approaching 80 Yak-18Ts flying in the West, the extraordinary qualities of this very versatile aircraft are now fully understood.  There really is no comparable aircraft in terms of carrying capacity; short field performance; aerobatic ability; ruggedness and, of course, charisma.

This aircraft was restored by us for a customer who wanted a very high- performance and high-specification 18T, restored to ‘as new’ condition.  Having sold far more 18Ts than anyone in the world, we feel that we are well able to say that it must be one of the best anywhere. 

It has 95 hours since TOTAL restoration; 400hp; 3-blade propeller; long-range fuel; luxurious leather interior; excellent avionics. 

Detailed specification and extras:

  • 95 hours since total restoration to perfect standard. This has included a complete overhaul of every mechanical component; incorporation of all Service Bulletins. 

  • M14PF (400hp) engine, 54 hours since factory overhaul; MTV-9-250-29 propeller:  54 hours since new (this is the latest wide-chord blades) and combined with the 400hp engine gives extraordinary performance.

  • Additional 85 litre tanks in each wing.  This gives a total of 350 litres – sufficient for 5 hours plus reserve.

  • IFR panel.

  •  Full leather interior throughout with high quality carpets; Hooker harnesses for all four seats.

  •  Strobes

  • Improved door sealing

  •  Adjustable seats

  • Pneumatic door struts  

  • Manifold oil drain

  • Cambrai covers for engine, cockpit and propeller

Avionics

Excellent avionics including:

  • Garmin 430 – colour moving map; GPS ; VOR; COM

  • Garmin GMA 340 audio panel

  • Garmin GTX 330 transponder plus Mode C

  •  Honeywell KX 125

Performance

  • At maximum gross will operate out of 400 metres

  • Rate of climb maximum gross 1500 feet per minute

  • Maximum cruise 162 knots

  • Ceiling 20,000 feet

  •  Range 800 miles with reserve

Registration

The aircraft has an EASA Permit to Fly, which is valid throughout Europe with no restrictions.  This will soon be upgraded to an EASA Certificate of Airworthiness.  Registration is currently Hungarian but can be changed to any European country with relative ease.

Price Euro 100,000 including European VAT

Price only Euro 62,000 – Today (about) £55,000, including European VAT. 

Yak-18T

In 2006 we acquired six 18Ts from the National Flight Academy of Kazakhstan.  All the aircraft required total restoration, which is a significant undertaking to bring them to ‘as new’ condition.  In fact all will be a lot better than ‘as new’, simply because we are able to incorporate a wide range of improvements and modifications rather than absolutely standard ‘Russian specification’ with which all aircraft were manufactured.  Two aircraft have been delivered; the next two are sold and being worked on currently and the final two will be available for delivery in early 2008.  For all aircraft the work will include: zero-timed engines and propellers; total mechanical overhaul; new engine mounts / tyres / brakes etc; instruments overhauled; new Ceconite; paint scheme to the buyers choice etc.  In addition the aircraft can be modified with a wide selection of "extras".  Price, totally restored but to standard specification, including delivery to Western Europe, checkout etc Euro 89,000.  Additional cost to place on the Hungarian registers Euro 5,000.

One of the aircraft delivered in late 2005 to a UK customer.

Yak-50  Probably The Best in the World! 

(Photo taken during first engine runs at Myachkovo, outside Moscow , November 2009)

There were 307 Yak-52s made, of which 6 were delivered to Bulgaria and 8 to the former East Germany , butapart from 1 aircraft in the East German museum all of these have disappeared from these countries, which left 293 in Russia .  Through an extraordinary decree from the Russian Ministry of Transport, all 50s were required to be scrapped after the introduction of the Yak-55, in 1985. 

Fortunately a number of Russian aero-clubs disobeyed this, and kept their 50s at the back of their hangars.   However they were not legally allowed to fly and it was only when the Soviet Union began breaking up in the early nineties that these planes were brought out; some continued to fly, but the vast majority were exported to the West. 

So the practicality today is that there are, we believe, only 65 of these superb aircraft left, and after a great deal of research, we are confident that this is the LAST aircraft to come from Russia. 

The 50 is the ultimate sporting aircraft, with the looks and “feel” of a fighter.  With 400hp and 3-blade propeller, it can climb at over 5,000 ft per minute and is a delight to fly. 

We have entrusted its total restoration to the only really talented specialists in Russia , and this has been completed over the last three years.   Our aim has been to produce a Yak-50 that is as close to a new aircraft as possible, but also incorporating ALL Service Bulletins, including the final ones of 1985, so the airframe is extraordinarily strong.  In addition we have incorporated a variety of modifications which we, with our considerable experience on these aircraft (having brought the first 50s to the West some 23 years ago!), have devised.

The details of this aircraft are as follows:

  • Serial number 822201.

  • Manufactured 1982.

  • TOTAL time since NEW 86 hours; 271 landings.

  • Withdrawn from service and put into dry storage since 1985. 

  • Engine is currently an M14P, with ONLY 22 hours total time since NEW, and then has had a TOTAL overhaul.  (If a customer requires conversion to 400hp and PF specification, we will of course arrange this).  

Extras/Modifications

Aerobatic and long-range fuselage tanks.

Long range integral wing tanks, more than doubling capacity, and giving over five hours endurance.  Fuel gauges for these wing tanks.

  • Central filling for both fuselage tanks.

  • New MTV-9-260-29 (latest type) 3-blade propeller.

  • Luggage box, plus additional storage area behind seat.

  • Light weight electrical system and light weight battery and wiring.

  • Stainless-steel fire-wall.

  • Remote Champion oil filter.

  • Manifold oil drain.

  • Leather cockpit sides.

  • New Hooker harnesses.

  • Excellent avionics: Garmin 250 GTX/GPS/Com/; Second Becker Com; Becker miniature transponder.

  • Light-weight horizon (not original Russian).

  • Large air bottle.

This is a quite exceptional opportunity to buy the LAST Yak-50 from Russia , and an aircraft that has been TOTALLY restored.    It is currently being shipped from Russia to Hungary , where the final cosmetics and external paint will be done.   Clearly this can be to the choice of a purchaser.

Price, from Euro 90,000 plus VAT depending on final specification. A genuine investment for the future! 

(The last totally overhauled Yak-50 that we delivered)

Brand new Yak-50 wings

We have a pair of completely new (but dating back to 1985) Yak-50 wings.   They are absolutely complete, together with overhauled undercarriages; ailerons (newly refabriced) etc.

The mounting flanges are at the ex-factory size, i.e. they still need to be drilled out to normal bolt size before they can be fitted – of course confirmation that they could never have been used!

Yak-52

We bought three of the early (and sought after) 'flush riveted' 52s.  The first seventy or so Yak-52 were 'flush-riveted' with a totally smooth skin.  This stopped when production volumes increased and it was decided that this method of manufacture was simply too expensive.  These aircraft are rather faster (10kph) and also roll a little quicker.  The first aircraft has gone for conversion  to Yak-52TD specification for an Australian customer; the second  is available either completed or as a 'project' aircraft.  We therefore have one awaiting total restoration to 'as new' condition or we would consider selling it 'as is'.

Yak-52              SOLD TO AUSTRALIA

An exceptional Yak-52, with the benefit of an almost new 400hp M14PF engine and new MTV-9 propeller

  • Manufactured 1985

  • Serial number 855312.

  • Total time since new 998 hours.

  • Time since total overhaul 119 hours.

  • M14PF engine (400hp), only 33 hours from factory new.

  • MTV-9-250-propeller, only 33 hours from factory new.

Work in the last year has included:

  • New Ceconite fabric.

  • New tyres.

  • All new control bearings and cables.

  • New brakes.

  • Total undercarriage overhaul.

  • New Perspex.

  • New interior in black leather.

  • Fitting new radio and transponder.

The aircraft is currently in South Africa , and the paint has been stripped off anticipating a total repaint to a very high standard.  This can obviously be done to the design of a new purchaser.

Price, including paint; disassembly and packing into an international shipping container in South Africa  

Euro 55,000 (engine and propeller worth over Euro 40,000!!)

Yak-52 - SOLD TO AUSTRALIA

It is becoming very difficult to get good 52s, simply because the Russian government has now, for the last three years, prevented the export of any 52s, which means that we are restricted to those that are already in the West. 

G-YAKD had a total overhaul at Termikas only 18 months ago, and has flown only 47 hours since.  By “total” we mean that the aircraft was dismantled to the last nut and bolt, and then rebuilt as a new aircraft.

As such it is one of the nicest 52s anywhere in the World, and we feel represents very good value, in that no significant mechanical work and certainly no “lifed” items need attention for a long time ahead.

Other details:

  • Manufactured 1984.

  • Serial number 845002.

  • Total time on airframe 479 hours.

  • Total engine time 448 hours.

  • Total time on airframe; engine and propeller since complete overhaul in September 2007 47 hours. 

Extras:

  • Metallic paint with a clear lacquer cover.

  • Propeller spinner.

  • Wing tip extensions.

  • Baggage compartment.

  • Garmin 295 GPS.

  • King transponder with Mode C.

  • A complete set of expensive American covers.

Overall condition is genuinely superb, with the only area being less than perfect is some slight paint erosion on the propeller but this will be rectified before sale.

Asking price £59,000 (today Euro 69,000) including European VAT

This all new aircraft, but based on the fuselage of the Yak-18T, gives turbine performance and reliability at a fraction of the cost of anything comparable in the World.  Full certification was obtained in December 2004, and we are now in a position to discuss details with prospective purchasers.   Price from Euro 470,000 dependant on specification, avionics etc.

At the present time we are unsure about future production of SM2000 and when aircraft will be available.

L-39 Albatross Jet

Recent L-39s that are being released from the Air Force of the Ukraine have been at quite exceptional prices, which benefit we are able to pass on to our customers.

Cosmetic condition is literally ‘as is,’ and the aircraft have not been used for a number of years.  However our procedure is to take the aircraft into the Air Force maintenance facilities; check undercarriages; retraction systems; canopy pressurisation and conditioning; fuel tank integrity  etc etc.  Although not flown, this does mean that the mechanical condition of the aircraft is excellent.

Currently we are able to sell aircraft having gone through this programme, and any defective parts replaced from about US$115,000 (Euro 81,500) and up to US$140,000 Euro 99,300) for aircraft with exceptional times on all major components. (Prices include disassembly and packing into a shipping container in the Ukraine.)

Currently being offered to sale:

This L-39C has just been removed from the Ukraine Air Force and has exceptionally low times in all significant areas.   However it has not been flown for a number of years, our price will include testing all aspects of the aircraft to ensure that they are currently working, but otherwise the aircraft is “as is”.

Vedeneyev engines

We are the world exclusive agents for the Vedeneyev Design Bureaux and for the Voronezh Machine Plant, as such, can offer a range of new and '0' timed engines from both UK and Russian stocks.  In particular we sell the M14PF, and the yet more powerful M9F (435hp engine), which are used by most of the world's leading Sukhoi pilots. which is used by most leading Russian and European Sukhoi pilots.  

Vedeneyev (OKBM) went into a Russian equivalent of 'Chapter 11' in 2005.  It was however then bought by FK Systems, a major Russian public company, during 2006.  They have refinanced the company; brought in new machinery and facilities and production restarted in early 2007.  We have already received a number of excellent quality engines from 'new Vedeneyev' and can offer these from stock.

In addition we are the sole representative for the Voronezh Mechanical Plant which has produced many thousands of the M14 series engines and is resuming production, of both the M9F engine (435hp) and the M14P (360hp).  VMP is a well funded and substantial company, and we are confident of its ability to produce both engines and Vedeneyev spare parts (which of late have become difficult to find) for the future.

An important point is that the Russian Ministry of Transport have ordered 60 new Yak-18T aircraft for which VMP have been contracted to supply engines, plus a large amount of spare engines and spare parts.  This is good news in that it guarantees the availability of spare parts well into the future.

The 2007 World Aerobatic Championships were dominated by Sukhoi and also by the higher powered engines, for which we are sole agents.  The World Championship was won by Ramon Alonso in his M14R - equipped Su-31, while 3rd and 4th places were to Russian team Su-26 aircraft, equipped with the M9F engine.  In addition Zach Heffley, of the USA, despite only a few days of practice in an Su-26, which we had totally rebuilt and restored, won the overall freestyle - the most demanding sequence - using the first privately owned M9F engine.
