Yakovlev YAK-18T Aircraft 1980s
1980s piston singles are pre-FADEC, pre-glass-cockpit airframes — Cessna 172/182, Piper PA-28 series, Bonanza V35/F33, Mooney M20J 201 from this period. Most have undergone at least one engine overhaul and avionics refresh (ADS-B Out retrofit, GPS upgrade). Pre-buy focus: airframe corrosion, AD compliance (especially recent wing-spar ADs on 210/PA-28), Lycoming or Continental engine condition, panel revision currency.
The Yakovlev Yak-18T is a rugged, four-seat radial-engined aircraft — a roomy cabin tourer/trainer powered by the Vedeneyev M-14P radial, originally used for Aeroflot ab-initio training. Strongly built with genuine radial character and good load, it offers a distinctive, capable touring and training platform for buyers who appreciate Russian engineering and the sound of a big radial.
