Oh...that was FUN! And making sure that annoying little "keeper" is properly-oriented adds SO much delight. And then the cherry on top is the 1.5" of space you have to insert and configure that cotter pin...TWICE! As someone once told me, I'd LOVE to hire one of the 3', 10-inch-fingered line-workers that built these machines to assist me! OK, the complaints are light-hearted as I continuously remind myself I'm blessed to have the privilege and responsibility of being the current caretaker of this great aircraft. But as I'm finishing up the 5 hour job I'd originally set aside 1 hour to do, I started pondering what might be the nastiest duties to perform on a Yak. The aileron p/p tubes in the belly have to be in the TOP 10. But everyone reading this has more time (and scars?) on / from this machine than I. So...what do you think? What's the WORST Yak - or CJ - task?

And I know what you mean in all you said. I went to bed making sure all my skinned knuckles wouldn't leave Yak Blood everywhere...woke up sore, but had that "O yea! DONE!" sensation! I'm fortunate to be able to work in my airport's heated maintenance facility where my A & P works on numerous other projects simultaneously. He's had pretty much an "advisory-only" role in the Yak yet has been extremely helpful. He sensed my frustration and asked if I was getting anywhere. When I replied "more slowly than surely" he asked if I'd tried swearing at it - said it was an old A & P trick. And when that fails to throw my wrench across the room...I DID recall I still have to go in and re-attach that darn little ground strap on the left side. There are many more hurdles to leap over but I'm LOVING the journey...and I have the REWARD dead in my sites! :) >>> "Jan Mevis" 1/13/2012 2:03 PM >>> Finally, whatever job you have to do on these planes, when you start getting old(er), everything is difficult.
