I'm getting ready to replace all flexible hoses on my 52. Is there anyone out
there that sells a kit to replace all the hoses in the aircraft or does anyone
have a list of all of the exact sizes and lengths needed and where to get
them?
Anyone got any opinions on replacing all of the hoses with a really good
quality, stainless overbraid type hose. I hear these have an almost unlimited
service life.
Anyone know where to get these with metric end fittings?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At YAK UK www.yakuk.com we sell the new pipes assembled and pressure tested with
a release note. Cost $55/ pipe only sold in complete sets (26) on exchange basis
as the end fittings are like "hens teeth" and expensive. pie has protective
sheaf stitched one also.
Shipped by return upon receipt of your end fittings cut of with 2" of pipe remaining.
Please NOTE we DO NOT SELL pipe on its own. Payment by credit card shipping as
you wish.
Best regards, Mark offering a superior service to the YAK community World Wide
:))

I wish to include as many events that were attended as possible so,
even if you were the only one there at that local air show but have
photos please contact me.
If you wish for your photo and/or airplane to not be included in this
video please also advise me off line and I will try and accomidate you.

Next week I'll be in St Petersburg, FL conducting research on the
erosion properties of coarse textured soils. Earlier this year we saw a
52 operating out of Whitted Field and I believe the owner has posted
here. If so, please contact me off list. Thanx.

Paul,
Our midwest event is just before Oshkosh, at manitowoc. I assume you are
a YPA member, if not it's a good thing to do, just to network, get
training and have fun.
Also in the area is Bob Monzo, -52, Brian Olafson at Kankakee, -52, Bob
Fitzpatrick at Custer Park, -52, and Don Jones at Sandwich, -CJ. Not all
are interested in formation work.
The YPA will hold a pre-Sun 'N Fun clinic in April out of Batow, FL, a
May clinic at Columbus, Nebraska, and numerous others in '03.
Be aware that there will are some operational differences between NATA
training and YPA training. We all read from the same book but there is a
lot not in the book.

If anyone has video of Sergei's 52 demonstrations at MTW I would like to
talk off-list.

Folks,
I just finished #43s annual and we found a guy here that does nothing
but prop
balancing, blade angle measurements and engine vibration testing
(started out
on Army choppers and AF C-130s). The end result is an M-14P and MTV
three blade
prop that is unbelievably improved at all RPMs, like flying someone
elses airplane.
Can't say enough about getting a specialist to visit your hanger if
your mounts a' shakin...
His equipment also measured and produced a computerized graphic
(squiggly lines
for us pilots) of crankshaft vibration, among other measurements; this
analysis
alone was nice to have as a look in to the guts of the engine.
Something he passed on about our shock mounted instrument panels: He
mentioned
that if you're having some significant vibration in the panel at
certain RPM
ranges (besides doing prop balancing and everything else discussed) he
recommends
that if you get new rubber shock mounts, mix older ones with newer ones
(of
course throw out the shot ones). The concept is the panels, based on
the rubber
strength, elasticity, etc., tend to harmonize all at once at certain
frequencies
(RPMS), by not having them all the same (reacting the same), the panel
shake should be reduced.
I have his contact info if you live in the SOCAL area. He will be at
Red Star
West 03 with his equipment, he is writing an article on the subject for
the web
and I will let you know when I get something.

A question for Drew, then a brief mention of Duxford:
First:
Drew, Where does your balancing fellow attach his balance weights? Many inlines
have holes on the flywheel to facilitate that, and that's where they've gone
when I have had spam cans balanced. But where on the M14 with paddle blades? My
prop balancer just scratches his head.
Second:
As recommended, I went to Duxford, outside of Cambridge, while on a visit to the
U.K. It is a stunning museum with a wide range of aircraft and military hardware,
all well presented. In addition, you can see aircraft in various stages
of restoration or conservation, very often while work is in progress by volunteers
or professionals.
Heretofore, NAS Pensacola's museum was my favorite (and still a sentimental favorite),
but Duxford Imperial War Museum takes the cake. Don't miss it if you're
in the area.
BTW, I didn't drive. There are regular fast trains to Cambridge from Kings Cross
and a shuttle from Cambridge station to Duxford.

Thought you guys might like a little aircraft related diversion. Here's
a link to some birdstrike pictures as well as a PowerPoint document that
shows what happens when you overpressure a KC-135. Here's the link

If anyone has the dimensions for the hose end fittings, I may be able to get
them since my bother in law owns a pipe fitting distributorship. He was able
to find some oddball fittings for my jet.
