Virtually all eletric tachs work the same way. The sender is a three-phase AC
generator that produces anything from about 20-50 volts depending on model (US
tach generators work the same way). There is a three-phase motor in the tach
itself that turns at exactly the same speed (synchronized) as the tach
generator. The tach itself then has a standard mechanical tachometer connected
to the shaft of the motor.
If two of the three phases reach the motor, the motor will still run but might
not start reliably or indicate accurately. Once the generator and motor
synchronize, they will stay in sync with just two of the three phases.
The "pulse per rev" system is more modern and comes from newer
microprocessor-based systems that can count accurately. That sort of system was
not generally available back in the '40s and '50s.

Darn Mark. I wish I would have known about 2 weeks ago. I just sold the
Presidential YAK 50 which was owned by the current President of Lithuania.
Once he was elected, he was no longer permitted to fly it. It has a lot of
special mods and the Presidential seal on it. Do you want me to see if I
can find another one? Contact me off-list if you'd like to talk about it.

Craig,
Mine is to my left on the shelf separating the cockpits. I can check it and reach
it easily - had to in a hurry once when I started a small fire from over-priming
the previous 285.
In the air it also serves as a good place to store a water bottle.

I built one from scratch on my lathe, used a chunk of hard black plastic
that I had bought at a Boeing surplus center, made the contacts out of
brass, soldered 2-- 8 foot welder leads into it, attached 2 battery clamps
and it works great! But the down side was that if you count my lathe time

clamps and cables which cost me another $45.00. The four or five trips to

had the correct contactor size and make only the plug in portion on the
lathe, it would me much easier.---and quicker.
Good luck,

It is probably not good but I have done it for photo work. I slow the airplane
down to about 90 kts to reduce the load on the canopy and to keep the noise
level down so that the GIB with the camera can still make comments.

Jim
Would it not be simpler to recharge the air using a dive bottle and the
adaptor which connects to the external air charge? When the pnuematic system
on my aircraft was leaking, and I had to fly it home, I carried a small dive
bottle with me (no aerobatics ;), and used that when necessary. The dive
bottle I had contained enough air to refill the system 2.5 times before it
had to be refilled, so I could rely on it for a couple of starts.
Hope you enjoy your new toy

Florida flyers,
They are looking for a formation to do flybys for SeaFeast at 1700 on March
29. This is down near TIX. The guy who is coordinating it is panicking
because he has not heard from anyone.
Anyone interested?

Thanks for the info Brian. I looked at the diagram for the inter-connecting
wiring and it is as you say. I suspect a loose wire at the sender end.
Thanks to the group for all the help.

I did the same conversion in England. I pulled the existing ear muffs out
and installed the DC ones in place. The boom mike was a wiring and mic
replacement. The hardest bit is securing the strings that hold the muffs in
place. What I have done here is to put my DC headset into a US Navy Deck
helmet. The type used by ground crews on the ac carriers. They are made by
DC. They sell for about $30 on Ebay. Be careful though because you will be
competing with the star wars geeks as they like to get them to play Luke
Skywalker as these ate the same helmets they used in the film for the xwing
pilots.

I have a David Clark ANR headset which I dont really use anymore since I
always wear my helmet now. Does anyone know how difficult it may be to use
the earpieces from the headset in my helmet? I have an HGU-55 helmet and the
DC's are the H10-13X.

Ernie,
I have suggested to EAA that they organize some national young eagles
sessions specifically aimed at the children of those serving abroad. I was
very upset to hear that these children have been getting picked on at school
because their parent are not around. What does the group think about this as
an idea.

Well, not here but not in Central California in the summer either. Ask Dennis
Nickson. He spent a lot of time in back taking pictures.

My helmet already has the boom mike so all I would need to do is replace the

I normally make my takeoffs and landing (solo) with my front canopy open,
unless its really raining or really cold. I do my little arco routine with
the canopy crack to the first notch. I've flown and still do, with both
cracked open all the time, even during arco. I've inadvertently flown over
300kph with the rear canopy full opened. Nothing happened. I have seen rear
canopies jump their track when allowed to slide back without restraint.
I never fly (and I brief my BS) with both canopies open at the same time.
With them both open, the GIB gets the full blast (I do not the center wind
screen). You can fly with either one cracked to the notch, with other full
opened.
Do I do acro with my canopy open? No,- - - but that's mental thing for me.

I've converted a half dozen Russian ZSh-7A helmets and KM-34D (Series II)
masks by simply putting Peltor headset parts into them. The Peltor
headsets had volume controls -- I just ignored that and wired the speakers
in and set the volume from the audio panel. The Russian helmets put the
speakers in series, but with a Garmin audio panel, it doesn't seem to
matter... we've mixed and matched using two helmets, one helmet and one
headset, and two headsets when flying and not had any problems.
Personally, I like the ZSh-7[AP] helmets better than the HGU-55... I think
they have a wider field of view, and I like the way they fit. Plus they
have a bladder in the back that inflates for pressure breathing which just
velcros in and out... Russians Very Clever People. :-)

I suggest the same as Jon, just ignore the volume. If you need to keep it
(No volume on the panel) then you could just mount a 10K pot in the cord.
But really you just want full volume. When you remove the volume controls
you will need to fill the wholes left behind. The best way to do this is
with some plastic metal or two part resin glue. You need to do this
otherwise you will not get the full noise reduction.
Hope this helps
Gus

Ernie,
The speakers only have two wires. De-solder the two wires from the speakers
and reinstall the DC's into the helmet by soldering the two wires from the
existing helmet speakers to the DC speakers. The volume control is external
of the speakers and is nothing more than a potentiometer.

Evening everyone..I'm not new to the list, but this will be my first post. I
bought a Yak-52 and am closing on it this week. Thanks Mark Shrick and
George Coy. I am looking forward to flying it. I have been in the Flight
business for sometime. I am currently in Cincinnati, Ohio. Oh yea, McCoy if
you read this call me 513.312.5244, I understand Steve Hanshew contacted you
on my behalf. I would like to be part of this great list, but really looking

training, operations, and just some overall to do's or don'ts will be

Gang,
I have just completed updating the Map Rooms at allredstar.com. If you
have registered your name should now be in the corresponding region at
http://www.allredstar.com/Map_Room.asp. Please contact me with any
corrections.
If you have not registered, there is a chance your name is there anyway
as I know some folks are hard at work modifying their planes to fit
bombs or busy looking for that extra 1/10 of a knot... :)
If you have not yet registered and would like to be counted, visit the
Recruiting Office at http://www.allredstar.com/Recruiting_Office.asp
Registrations for Red Star West II have continued coming in. I have
fielded a number of questions, most of which are already on the site, so
please take time to look around
http://www.allredstar.com/Current_ops_RS_homepage.asp, as we have tried
to provide answers to many of the questions you may have. Good news
here as well... We have a Yak-9, maybe 2, and a Yak-11, that have
committed to coming and will be putting on demonstrations in the
aerobatic box - and I hear rumors that some current military hardware
with Red Stars on them are trying to be there. Also, Master Rigger Alan
Silver is planning to do an actual egress from the back seat of a CJ
during the event - that I have to see! We are also making progress on a
few more sponsors that will definitely add to the "ditty bag" for those
attending. Hope to see you there....
Cheers,
Barry
