I just saw Gilmour yesterday! He is the coolest person on earth!

[@DoRullings]

I wasn't aware of that we have one of Sir Gilmour's former aircraft here in Norway. Great video! Thank you!

[@romanpletnev8144]

Thank you for video! Yak-52 is a great memories of my life.

[@albertomanueloliveiraloayz2247]

That beauty!!!. thanks for making this content

[@FlywithMagnar]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@yosoydanix2163]

Hi Captain, thank you very much for the video! Quick question, is the aux hyd pump needed to start the atr engine also if the prop brake is not used? Thanks in advance and happy landings!

[@FlywithMagnar]

The hydraulic aux pump is used to operate the propeller brake when the main hydraulic pump is not running. Engine #2 can be started with or without the propeller brake engaged. It is up to the operator how they will start the engines. Some operators do not use the propeller brake at all.

Wow, thank you for the goose pimples you create on me with this great video!! I love the Yak-52 as most russian aircraft - but please tell me, what kind of amazing and invisible camera you mount at the wing....I`ve never seen a zooming fisheye lens which is also be able to make such outstanding movements!!😳

[@FlywithMagnar]

The camera is an Insta360. It has two 180 degree lenses and sensors, covering the entire sphere. It is truly amazing.

Magnar i definitly laft a comment here before, did you reapload video or something? Or you just doesn't like my comments for any reason?

[@FlywithMagnar]

Yes, I redited the video. Unfortunately, YT does not allow you to edit an existing video. So, I had to reload it. And thank you for your comments. They are appreciated.

[@VM-1964]

Same observation from me too sir. It was about the Artificial Horizon (ADI)...Did you like it on the Yak or any other Soviet/Russian aircraft for that matter?? Black and grey part, you did mention ..but to add, it is topple free, and the presentation of aircraft model versus the background is also a wonderful concept. So much easier to remain oriented 👍👍

[@Valentin_MeL]

@@FlywithMagnar Ok, i thought that my comment just dissapear.
