The last generation of widely produced soviet light multirole STOL aircraft what was introduced in late 1957 with numerous changes which led to improved aerodynamic performances and better level of comfort for the crew and passengers.
The Yak-12A is a conventional monoplane with metal braced high-wing, metal and canvas covered fuselage, four-seats cabin, fixed landing gear with tail wheel. Wing fitted with flaps and automatic slats. Single nine-cylinder, four-stroke, air-cooled, petrol-powered radial engine AI-14R. Two-blade propeller.
The plane was used for transport, glider towing, pilot training, parachute training, and also was used as air ambulances and agricultural aircraft. Apart from the Soviet Union, different modifications of Yak-12 (R,M,A) were used in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, China and other countries.
FEATURES:
All materials with HD specular, bump and reflection maps
I have to agree with the previous reviewer. Lots of eye candy and very good performance. The graphics are very well done on this plane. I was quite pleased with it especially for the price. It is very slow though. Don't expect to whiz around the skies in it. My only gripe per se is that all of the gauges and writing is in Russian. I know that it means that the developer was very accurate in it's reproduction of the aircraft but I wish there would be one repaint with English writing. I still give it 5 stars but this would be a nice added feature.

Excellent plane! Eye candy model, however very FPS frendly. Easy control, very stable, so you even can trim it and go to backseat))). Best plane for pleasure flying. Keep going A1R! Waiting for Yak-42?
