There’s nothing quite as dismaying as having your Yak 52 Oil door detach in flight from its proper place, still tethered to the airframe by a slender wire lanyard, only to perform its unfettered turbulent havoc dance, smashing between your precious cowling sheet metal / paint and the front cockpit glass - JUST perfectly out of reach in the 145 knot airflow.
The Vegas odds of that wire lanyard separating before you get home are pretty good.
But if the wire DOESN’T break, even more dangerous when entering the landing environment, is the pilot ‘flying the oil door’ and not the plane.
(Panels not in place are a huge distraction )
On the upside, you won’t need a new one of these.
Just a few grand’s sheet metal & paintwork repair.
The underlying cause is often a deformed or loose Dzus fastener Spring ( on the underside of the sheet metal ) which allows the Dzus fastener to back out.
This accurate reproduction Oil Door includes the hole for the lanyard and a new Dzus fastener. The part is clear anodized with a dichromate finish as the original Yakovlev sheet metal parts were.
Unfortunately, there is a very small profile difference in the rear contour that prevents it being used for Yak 50, but if one of those is what you need, please get in touch.
