Yak 3 Data/Specs Required

Thu May 07, 2009 6:09 pm

I was wondering if any of the good folks here have or know where I can find detailed dimensional data/performance specs on the Yak 3?

Apart from the basic stuff on the web (often conflicting!), I haven't yet found any detailed dimensional data that is usually found in rigging & maintenance manuals, and in the case of performance, wartime flight test reports etc.

I'm looking for the following : -

Empty Weight
Combat Weight
(full weights, loading and CoG positions would be a bonus)

Fuel Tank Capacities
Root Chord
Tip Chord (not essential)
Wingspan
Wing Area
Tailspan
Fin Height
Fin & Tailplane Areas
Control Surface Areas
Control Surface Movement
Prop Diameter/Pitch Range
U/C Track (span between each mainwheel)
Airspeed & G-Limits

Max Speed @ SL
Max Speed @ ALT
Intial Rate Of Climb
(all full combat power if possible)


Some of the dimensional data I could get from drawings if need be, but it would be nice to get it as accurate as possible from official sources.

Oh, whilst I'm at it, I wonder if anyone has any of the above for the new build machines, as this will actually be of use to me too, as I could use that data too!

Cheers

Paul
