Yakovlev YAK-18T Aircraft under $100,000
Under $100k for a piston single is the value-entry price band — typically older airframes (1960s-80s), mid-life or run-out engines, original or basic avionics with retrofit ADS-B Out compliance. These are entry-budget trainers and touring singles. Budget realistically for engine work, ADS-B Out compliance if not yet installed, panel upgrades and corrosion-area inspection.
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.
