    Subject: Question on the AK-50T compressor
    --> Yak-List message posted by: William Halverson <william@netpros.net> Hi Guys - Like your opinion/advice on this ... The compressor stopped charging - I assumed it was a broke coupler as it worked one day but not the next. A new coupler was installed but did not fix the problem. The mechanic then cleaned the 'pop' valves inside the compressor and at the outlet side of the compressor to ensure they are working freely. After all that, there is only a very faint output on the high pressure line even with the engine at 60% RPM. The compressor and engine has about 70 hrs and 18 months since an overhaul. So the question: Would gas pressure leaking around the rings produce this symptom? How would we check if pressure is leaking around the rings? And if so, how is that fixed? The drawing of the starting system I have (the bid color poster "Starting System Engine M-14P") shows the following devices between the compressor's HP output and the "Electromagnetic cock" which I assume is connected to the button used to start the engine: - filter sump - safety valve - filter - non return valve I know where the filter sump is (engine compartment on the firewall , left side below the oil tank) but where are those other devices? In the belly below the cockpit floorboard? The drawing does not show the air pressure gauge so I know it's not a complete description of the air system. Thanks in advance to the group!

    Subject: gear and flap speeds for CJ6A
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Brian Lloyd <brian@lloyd.com> With the discussion of gear and flap speeds for the Yak-52 I was wondering if anyone ever determined what the proper gear and flap speeds are for the CJ6A? I have been using (and teaching) the Yakity-Yaks-provided speeds of 130 kts and 108 kts respectively. If these are not correct, I need to update the check-list and operating limitations on the CJ6 web site. Also, if it is not correct, I would like to point out to Mike McCoy that one can't always trust information provided in person since there is no check on what anyone says in a private conversation. Much better to ask and answer on an open mailing list because then you have the scrutiny of hundreds of eyes checking for errors. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza, Suite 201 brian@lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 - voice +1.360.838.9669 - fax

    Mail-Followup-To: Wes Warner <wes@lppcs.com>, yak-list@matronics.com --> Yak-List message posted by: Wes Warner <wes@lppcs.com> Bill, I had the same problem on my 55. I didn't install a new coupler though. I sent my compressor to Carl Hays to have it rebuilt. After I got it back, my system charged at a remarkable rate. I have since installed a completely new air system (except for the start button) that has an in cockpit compressor relief. The stock system on my plane just popped off a valve every time it reached full pressure. I only have about 25hrs. on the compressor since rebuild, but it still seems to be going strong. Hope that helps.

    Subject: Re: gear and flap speeds for CJ6A
    tests=QUOTED_EMAIL_TEXT,REFERENCES,SPAM_PHRASE_01_02, --> Yak-List message posted by: "Walt Lannon" <lannon@look.ca> Hi Brian; OK, I'll bite! It was me that asked the questions re Yak52 flap & gear speeds. If you recall we had some discussion of the CJ limits a few weeks back. I recommend and use 110kts gear and 90kts flap and provide those numbers with my placard set, unless the customer is adamant about something else. The customer is always right? I arrived at those numbers by evaluating the the CJ gear and flap structures in direct comparison with the T6 and T34 which were readily available. I have not had any access to the Yak 52 so thought I should ask the questions. In addition the CJ Flight Manual suggests that the limit speed for both gear and flap is 170 km/hr (92kts) and it turns out that the 52 flap speed is exactly that. The gear speed, sensibly, is higher at 200km/hr (108kt). I would presume (usually not a good idea) that the 52 flap structure is the same as the CJ. Until your post I was not aware that Yakkity Yaks had produced the 108 and 130kt limits for the CJ. I don't know how they were arrived at but it's interesting to note that these are the T6 limits (125 & 150 mph). If you think it necessary to abide strictly by the published limits then it is 92 kts for both gear and flap. The Flight manual shows a maximum of 170 km/hr for all circuit procedures. Given the type of structure and the single point actuation loading I think this is right on for the flap. Interesting point - The T6 flap limit of 125 Mph (108.6 Kts) which is a military limit was reduced by the FAA to 97 Kts for civil certification. (Ref: FAA Aircraft Spec. A-2-575) The gear?? I am comfortable with a maximum of 110 Kts but that is only my WAG! The guess is backed up with a few years experience but it is NOT a legally documented limit.

Fred taught me that and the spiral-bound checklist provided with the airplane has those limits, albeit listed in km/hr which I translated into kts. Given Mike's joy at correcting me and since he has never corrected these numbers in spite of my repeated requests to ensure that I am using the proper number, I presume they are the numbers he also uses in his training.

I used 130 knots for the gear speed the entire time I owned and flew Betty. In formation training we have used 130 knots for quite some time, what with trying to enter the break at 150 kts so that we bleed off the requisite 20 kts in the pull, thus putting us at 130 kts as we roll out on downwind, the gear-down point. I now wonder where the 130 kt gear speed and the 108 kt flap speed came from since it does seem rather odd that they are the exact same speeds as the SNJ. Jim Goolsby: is there any chance you can query our friends in China as to the maximum gear and flap extension speeds? -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza, Suite 201 brian@lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 - voice +1.360.838.9669 - fax

    Subject: gear and flap speeds for CJ6A
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Brian Lloyd <brian@lloyd.com> OK, I was being dense. I see a posting from Jim Goolsby with some information from Bushi Cheng. The message infers that the speeds for the CJ6A should be relatively similar to the T34 but it doesn't give the speeds. What are the gear and flap speeds for the T34? So it seems safe to assume that the Yakity-Yaks-provided numbers of 130kt/108kt bear and flap speeds are incorrect. Would someone please give me actual numbers to use? Thanks. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza, Suite 201 brian@lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 - voice +1.360.838.9669 - fax

    tests=QUOTED_EMAIL_TEXT,REFERENCES,SPAM_PHRASE_00_01, --> Yak-List message posted by: "Walt Lannon" <lannon@look.ca> Brian et al; Gear and flap limit speeds for the T34 are 110 Kts for both. This is taken from the USN NATOPS Flight Manual for the T34B, NAV AIR 01-90KDB-1. I don't have the equivalent USAF T.O. or a copy of the Type Certificate Data Sheet at hand. There are structural similarities, gear door sizes, etc. that would indicate a reasonable match to the CJ for the gear limit. Door attachment is somewhat better on the T34. The flap however bears no relationship whatsoever to the CJ. The CJ has a split flap very similar to the T6/SNJ/Harvard which is very shallow in depth and is open on one surface. The T34 is a Fowler type flap which is fully enclosed, of considerably greater depth and therefore capable of withstanding greater torsional loading. In addition the T34 flap is track mounted offering much increased load distribution over the single point support of the CJ. The T6 flap load is also well distributed over the span by push rods spaced at approx. 16".
