Yakovlev Yak-11 or Lavochkin La-7~ mastering the monster

[@bobdyer422]

They had a Yak-11 with a R-2800 tucked under the cowling that raced at Reno in 89 & 90. Could keep up with Strega and Rare Bear for a couple of laps. Looked pretty cool whipping around the pylons doing 450 +. Polished fuse bright green wings.

[@tomfey6020]

Impressive performance and roll rate. It is not often you see warbird aircraft doing three climbing rolls or rolling on the back side of an inside loop.

[@thhseeking]

Yak-11 is a two-seat trainer. La-7 is a single-seat fighter. I can't tell one from the other :P The two-bladed propeller is odd for an La-7, though. So I'm leaning towards a modified Yak-11. I wish it was an La-7.

[@fabianboss4160]

Tolles Video und schön Marc Mathis noch einmal fliegen zu sehen, er war einer der ganz Großen. Wie hier auch schon geschrieben wurde, ist es eine Yak 11, die zum Einsitzer umgebaut wurde. Wahrscheinlich um einer La-7 oder Yak-3U ähnlicher zu sehen.

[@udaloop86]

It sounds and looks great Yak or Lavochkin! Great footage as always thanks mate. BTW - there’s an La-9 that’s flyable in the US. Used to be based in NZ where it flew a fair bit. Sucks we don’t see any footage of it anymore which often happens when warbirds go to the US....

[@brucemitch928]

Very nice display and camera work. 👍

[@ronasaurus74]

Absolutely the Yak; Lavochkin La's all had a completely different tail shape, much more sloped and streamlined, less upright, and certainly not a two bladed prop. This Yak appears to have been modified as a single seater, with a canopy, that closely resembles the one on a La5FN, or a La7, which would explain the confusion as to what this actually is. Just look up photos of a La7, and then a Yak, you'll see what I mean, it's obvious.

[@Praetoras]

Yup the tail shape definitely gave it away for me too

[@damon9408]

All that thrust from a 2 blade propeller? Impressive

[@philb3549]

It's a Czech Let C11 (YAK-11). Civil registration F-AZNN.

[@TiKey867]

its a Yak 11 . not an La7 .. its has an 7cylinder Schwezow ASch-21....

[@Warbirds]

ok thx

[@asdrubale2]

Exactly. They differ in keel shape. Yak-11 has a typical "Yakovlev" keel. And the Lavochkin's keel had a different shape: d.radikal.ru/d11/2012/5f/2b58ff9e9621.jpg

[@cyberpunkrocker]

It's neither Yak-11 nor La-7, it's a Yak-3U (basically a Yak-3 with a Shvetsov engine, the same as in the La-5/7). The two-blade propeller is non-standard, though.

[@IonPerseus]

Nah, yak 3u has different fuselage and wing shape, also shorter

[@philb3549]

[@Darrylx444]

@Vince negra Looks like just another airplane, flying much higher up (not falling).

[@WGlennNorman]

Outstanding post! Thank you for sharing

[@Warbirds]

Thx watching mate

[@easttexan2933]

the climb rate at the end of the flyby was most impressive. I'm not sure the 51, F4, F8, Spit, or 109 can match that. Just my opinion of course.

[@igorkratka]

In description it is said that this engine is 700hp and propeller is obviously 2 bladed. thereafter this Lavochkin with this particular engine and propeller is no match for basically any variant of planes you mentioned above. 700hp is good for airshows, not for serious combat.

[@easttexan2933]

@@igorkratka 700hp doesn't produce that kind of performance.

[@igorkratka]

@@easttexan2933 Well, the plane is most likely stripped off cannons and does not carry armament. That easily brings down weight by 500kg. No seat armor needed either. That is further 100kg. Who knows how big fuel tank is- could well be modified to have smaller capacity.. No bombs carried either. Smaller engine needs smaller oil tank.The plane may appear brisk, but that is only result of weight brought down to bare minimum. Look how long it takes to takeoff. Pilot uses almost whole runway. Once he is in air, gain some speed he just needs to preserve kinetic energy to create illusion of speed....avoiding sustained turns. Real life Lavochkin just as its german opponents had engines with power output anything between 1100-1900 hp, depending on year and variant because only such engines could pull the plane combat loaded with everything required.

[@easttexan2933]

@@igorkratka I think you're right. Thanks.

[@LB0355]

@@igorkratka Soviets fighters like Yak-9, Yak-3, La-5 and La-7 had some of, if not, THE best power to weight ratio out of all nations during WW2. Powerful engine coupled with light frame and armament meant their fighters were extremely maneuverable and agile at lower altitude which was where most of the Eastern Front air battles were fought in support of CAS missions

I might be wrong, but this is neither a Yak-11 nor a La-7. It is a Yak-11 modified into a single-seater configuration and painted like a La-7. Beautiful plane and splendid aerobatics, anyway.

[@flak8842]

If the yak has that powerd Shestov Ash 71 FN engine then it's a Lavochkin only

[@kingghidorah8106]

the airframe is 100 percent yak. La7 wings have no dihedral load and have a rather stubby tip to increase roll rate. The tail was similar to that of a late Merlin spitfire. La7 looks like a hybrid between a 190D and a Tempest Mk2.

[@HochgeborenKlown]

Confused...The Yak-11 I am familiar with was a 2 seat trainer that used this Shvetsov ASH-21 engine which only had 700 hp, not really suitable for post war combat...I know the Yak-3U had the ASH-82 radial with 1851 hp fitted, but a Yak-3U is not a 2 seat trainer...

[@Warbirds]

May also La-7 ?

[@HochgeborenKlown]

@@Warbirds As near as I can see there are no La-7's that are flight worthy, and all the La's 5/7/9 were razorbacks while this is a bubble top...I would guess it is a post war Yak-3U model...
