Flying the CJ-6 is blast! Fully aerobatic and quite a thrill.
Some things to note:
- The propeller turns in the opposite direction of Continentals/Lycomings - left rudder is required on takeoff and climb
- Will run on mogas! The Chinese use 70 Octane.
- The Attitude Indicator in a stock plane looks upside down. Brown on the top, blue on the bottom.
- 3 hours of fuel - it's legs are short, but it's a lot of fun getting there!
- +6 to -3.5 G rating!
- Top speed about 160 knots
- Cruise about 148-156 knots
- Stall 60 knots
- Approach about 80 knots
What's faster, the Yak-52 or the CJ-6? Take a look:

Cruise Speed
I plan for 140 knots in cruise. Sometimes I see more, but it's a good number to work with.
