Main Fuel Tank, Starboard, Yak 52
Sold out
Two styles of Fuel Tank were used.
Earlier versions will dispense fuel onto the tarmac through the underwing vent lines on a summer day.
Later versions have additional fuel expansion pipework and will not dump fuel. To tell the difference, open the square access door behind the cowling on the Starboard side of your 52. If you see two yellow fuel lines running vertically there, you have the later, improved venting type.
If you see only one line, you have the earlier tanks.
Pictured is example is an earlier tank. It has never been repaired and still had fuel in it when removed. We have both early and late available
Tell tale blue dye signs would have indicated leaks. All tanks are pressure tested by an external testing service before shipment.
Custom shipping will be required for other than local pickup due to the size and fragility of this item.

Latching CJ Fuel Cover
Because, as a CJ driver, well...
You just dont HAVE time for sloppy quarter turn fasteners...or for the fuel guy gouging your paint with their screwdriver.
No, you've got places to be, airshows to fly..
Kinda Pilot takes care of business with one finger.
These Hinged Fuel doors install in the same manner as the original - and a new dzus fastener is included.
But you'll only ever have to use it once.
This Hartwell latch requires one finger press to release, providing immediate access to your fuel cap.
The low profile hinge means this Latching cover is for you whether you have factory tanks or aftermarket bladders.
To secure the latch's tongue that snaps the fuel door closed, you'll need to file a small notch in the secondary structure forward of your plane's fuel filler recess. Pictorial instructions and a plastic template (to help you position this notch accurately) are included.
You stay classy, Nanchang drivers !
Drop-in replacement Yak 52 blank panel.
Having your Avionics shop install some new equipment in your Yak 52?
These chem-filmed Aluminum front cockpit panels and brackets are supplied un-riveted. This means the Avionics shop can lay your blank panel down flat to router or Waterjet cut the new instrument layout.
The new brackets are then simply flush-riveted on prior to paint.
Two Stainless panel securing knobs are included (with retaining clips) - your old knobs were permanently swaged into the old panel - no re-using them !
Most Avionics shops will have all the various equipment outlines they need to design and cut your new layout.
However, if you require panel design help, we offer this service at additional cost.
Please give us a call!

M3.5 Stainless Screws, Phillips Head, 120 degree countersink, Bag of 25
Doing a new panel for your Yak? How about replacing those funky Russian instrument screws with Phillips heads?
An idea whose time has come !
These Russian panel screws have a 120 degree, (rather than the more familiar 100, 90 or 82) countersink, presumably to contact a greater area on the panel and resist backing out under vibration.
Most Flight instruments in the Yak’s panel take M3.5 size (while the Russian Tach takes an M4), but both sizes, with these shallow cross-slotted heads, are to be found throughout the cockpit area.
In a lot of cases you'll see the slot simply got smeared by the torquing tool, making them almost impossible to remove.
(Decoded: a Philips screwdriver is not the right tool for these particular Russian screws.)
Wherever you see a gauge surrounded by one slotted head screw and three crossheads, leave the slotted one in place.
The Carb Inlet temp, Tri Gauge and the dual air pressure gauge are like this - they are packaged as cylindrical cans without a front mounting flange. Undo the slotted screw a few turns and, behind the panel, a wedge moving on that thread is releasing a cylindrical clamp ring, held in the panel by the other three screws.
