It was us who had misfortune of trusting you. We invested along huge amount to bring 8 CJs to you. You didn't invest a penny. We paid you all expenses occurred to assemble these CJs, including your son's 1st day unloading the planes which is $17.43 per hour @ 40 hours (He volunteered to take one week off to help the unloading); small items such as little brush @ $0.39 each, copy at office Depot @ $0.05 per sheet, $1,99 each of file binders, $3.15 each of working gloves, $3.29 of clean towels, solvent to clean the planes, etc.; large items such as batteries, all instruments needed to be converted to US ones, fabric tester, fabric iron, cockpit ID for all 8 planes, 24 log books from Aircraft Spruce for the planes; even for the 2 planes we sold at "as is" condition that customers trucked away, you complained that you could not make money from them, we paid you $2000 as compensation though you didn't do any work on them; not mention the oil and fuel for test fly & demo fly as well as the labor we agreed on the assembly work. Yes, we also paid $200 for another mechanic to sign off the plane because you are not an A&P that not be able to sign off our planes, which you never mentioned to us until we saw the bill. We paid every thing on these 8 CJs. What did you pay? Can you give one example that was expense for our 8 CJs that we didn't pay? We even paid you parts to repair other people's planes. You are sort of person that only takes, never gives. And no matter how much you receive, you never appreciate it. I can't image what could cost you lots of money? We were the solo investor. It was us that brought you lots of business and it was our 8 CJs that brought food to 2 of your families tables. As return, what did you do to us? You quoted our potential customers $30,000 to assemble our planes that scared everybody away. Finally we made deal between one customer and you. However, after agreement signed and all documents and the payment sent to the escrow account, you increased your pr ice by thousands of dollars. What we could do? The only thing we could do to sell our planes was to agree and to lower our own price to fulfill the agreement. You knew clearly that whatever you request, we have to agree because the planes were at your place and we are nonprofessional, besides far away. As a mechanic, if you say the job needs 1000 hours, it is a 1000 hours' job. We as aircraft owner, have no choice but pay that 1000 hours work. So after the 1st plane assembled, you kept increase your price, plane by plane. Even through we didn't quite understand at that time why you were doing this (Now we understand completely. It was because at that time you had already started to import your CJs. You were saving my customers for your own planes), we still paid all the bills you sent over unless it was your own bill. Jim Selby, we didn't treat you bad and we don't owe you any thing. It is you that owe us, both on morality and money. Look at your hanger that full of CJ parts. How much did you pay for them? Did you pay us a penny? You said you would send all the money over every time you sold the parts and just get some commission. Almost 3 years so far, I don't recall I paid you any commission on the parts because we never received any payment. I was wondering, when you use our parts as your money making tools, do you feel comfortable? As Dave King said, "one key to continued success in American business is prompt payment of debts." Also, Mark Shrick comments a few times: "It is wise to pay ones debts." So please pay us for the parts. Then you can use these parts or sell them without misgivings. After we realized that you had been cheating us and taking away our customers, and our planes became worse and worse, we just quickly sold our last planes at cost to get ride of them and walk away from you without saying any thing bad about you. However, you kept to make falsehood slandering us, to cover your dishonest, dishonorable business practice and your base and vile characters. We didn't bother to lower ourselves explaining this because we know we didn't do any thing wrong to you. For these facts and figures, we never published them before, even through some people kept asking, because we still try to save you some face hoping you might have little conscious as citizen of civilized society. However, you are too shameless and you have gone too far. Finally, this sure is a freedom country that people can say whatever they want to say. But, I still think Yak-list is a public place that making false statements and spreading out rumors which might damage other's reputation or business are not moral conducts, at least not accountable.

First off, this conversation does NOT belong here, either from you or from the Selbys. Factual stuff, yes. Innuendo and back-biting, no. You two need to deal with this in arbitration or in a court, not on this list. WRT parts, I know that the Selbys had a hangar full of parts they purchased from Ken Ollinger when he quit working on CJ6As. I was purchasing new parts from the Selbys about four years ago. Before you accuse them of stealing your parts please be sure that they are indeed your parts. Andrew, you seem to have developed a bad reputation for selling shoddy merchandise. I can't and won't say whether it is justified but my one direct experience with a product of yours has been unpleasant. My experiences with Yakity Yaks, the Selbys, and Doug Sapp have been good. If others have shared my experience why do you think you are having problems? -- 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 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 04:38:13 AM PST US From: Brian Lloyd Subject: Re: Yak-List: Cj6 flight --> Yak-List message posted by: Brian Lloyd Jim Selby wrote: > --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jim Selby" > > I had the misfortune of Trusting Andrew and Jennifer over a 2 year period > and cost me allot of money, they were very dishonest in there business > dealings with me, all's I'll say is keep a large Jar of Vaseline close by > when dealing with them, all will look good for awhile then you will get the > big weenie from them, ask around before you deal with them, this has been > going on for along time with them. Jim, This is *NOT* appropriate. If you have a legal gripe with them, deal with it in arbitration or in court. If you have a specific, documented issue you want to share that may be valid especially if it relates to a question someone has asked but this general slander is *NOT* appropriate. -- 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 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 05:05:13 AM PST US From: Brian Lloyd Subject: Re: Yak-List: Meigs Field TORN UP........Here is the mayors email address --> Yak-List message posted by: Brian Lloyd Mark Schrick wrote: > --> Yak-List message posted by: "Mark Schrick" > > Mayor Daley's e-mail address > mayordaley@cityofchicago.org > > > Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich at > governor@state.il.us > > Let's ROLL..........................................................Send > those e-mails NOW!!!!!!

Doug is working with the owner to solve the problem with the new engine. I have confidence that Randy and Doug will solve the engine problems and get David flying again. My experience is that Doug stands behind the parts he sells and replaces them when they are bad. Doug has a good reputation. OTOH, I don't remember you trying to help David with the previous problems with his airplane. It was left to Randy and me to help David. He ended up paying us for time, effort, and work which should have been done properly up-front.

You are part of the problem. The difference between the United States of America and much of the rest of the world is that the Constitution guarantees the rights of the individual, not just the rights of the body politic. Your comments are inflamatory and anti-American. Real Americans respect the rights of ALL people, even those who might be inimical to the rest of us. What people have fought and died for is the right for people to burn our flag, to write hateful things, and to generally disagree with the rest of us WITHOUT FEAR OF RETRIBUTION! *THAT* is what makes us different. Now as I said above, please go away. You scare me more than radical Islamists. -- 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 ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 05:32:11 AM PST US From: Gus Fraser Subject: RE: Yak-List: Meigs Field TORN UP........Here is the mayors email address --> Yak-List message posted by: Gus Fraser I disagree, they make me feel a little better.

Always be careful what you ask for, you just may get it! One of the many headaches that George W. Bush inherited from his predecessor was the Puerto Rican island of Vieques. In the waning years of the Clinton administration, protesters demanded that the U.S. Navy abandon bombing and naval gun fire exercises that had taken place on the largely uninhabited island for nearly seventy years. It became a leftist cause. Liberal icons bumped into one another to fly to Puerto Rico, boat over to the island, trespass (but never on a day that there was an exercise scheduled) and get arrested for the benefit of the New York Times or Newsweek. They included the Reverend Al Sharpton, Mrs. Jesse Jackson, Joan Baez, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Edward Olomos, Michael Moore and Ramsey Clark, just to name a few. Hillary Clinton, then running for the U.S. Senate in New York, chastised the U.S. Navy for not bowing to the "will of the citizens of Puerto Rico", until her husband, a week before the election, issued an executive order to phase out the facility by 2003, despite recommendations to the contrary by his own Secretary of Defense and the Chief of Naval Operations. In 2002, the bombing exercises were transferred to an Air Force bombing range in central Florida, not far from the Jacksonville and Pensacola Naval Air Stations. In January, many of the protesters were back in Puerto Rico, celebrating the final bombing exercise on Vieques and waved Puerto Rican flags and placards that read "U.S. Navy, get out of Puerto Rico." On February 21, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld announced that the U.S. Navy will close the Roosevelt Roads Naval Air Station in Puerto Rico in 2004, eliminating 1200 civilian jobs as well as 700 military positions. This naval facility is estimated to put nearly $300 million annually into the local economy. The next day a stunned Governor Sila Calderon, held a news conference in San Juan, protesting the base closure as a serious blow to Commonwealth's fragile economy. The governor stated that "The people of Puerto Rico don't now or never did have an interest in closing the Vieques bombing range or the Roosevelt Roads naval base. My government is interested in both staying in Puerto Rico." When asked, Admiral Robert J. Natter, Commander-in-Chief, Western Atlantic Command, said, "Without Vieques, I see no further need for the facility at Roosevelt Roads. None." So, Yanqui go home? Fine. But we'll take our dollars with us. Hasta la vista . . . baby! On February 21, the Secretary of Defense also announced that starting this year, the U.S. European Command would begin moving most if not all of its active combat and support units from bases in Germany to others being established in Poland, The Czech Republic, Hungary and Turkey to "better position them for rapid deployment to likely hot spots in those parts of the world". Immediately the business and government leaders in the German states of Hesse, Rhineland and Wurttemburg, protested the loss of nearly $6 billion in revenue each year from the bases and manpower to be displaced. A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry speculated that the move may be "what the Americans call 'payback' for the actions of this government in opposing military action in Iraq." Whatever. Does anyone know the German translation for: "Hasta la vista . . . baby?" --------------------------------- ________________________________ Message 15 ____________________________________ Time: 07:06:55 AM PST US From: "Mark Schrick" Subject: RE: Yak-List: ( Honest Andrew wants to come clean?)

Clearly the UK is not ignorant. I was eluding to most of the Arab world and those with anti-war sentiment who will take those images at face value without stopping to consider the might be a set-up.

You have to off it first. OK? I am really don't want fight here and have been a hard patience for few days. But I am not a dead man. I knew Jim got some parts from Ken Ollinger who was Fred mechanic. Am I right? I have a email from Fred told me some thing about that and also what does he have a different opine for Jims with you. Do you want me post Fred email on the list? I am really don't want do it and keep it since last fight.When I went Jim's hanger, Ken's parts almost sold out and Jim only bought most small parts from him. Jim Selby told me at least three times that you bought some parts from him for $250 and he sent to few times invoice but you never paid for the parts. Jim said you are a rich man. $250 for you, maybe just a hair cut cost.So I had a your bad reputation from Jim Selby. I am not going to say any thing any more unless some one still continue say bad words and it is true. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Lloyd" Subject: Re: Yak-List: Re:Who owes who? > --> Yak-List message posted by: Brian Lloyd > > Andrew Zheng wrote: > > Jim Selby, we didn't treat you bad and we don't owe you any thing.

This is TRULLY amazing, I'm speechless. I'm not even going to TOUCH this one, WOW...... --> Yak-List message posted by: Andrew Zheng > > You have made fortune from our planes. It was us who had misfortune of trusting you. We invested along huge amount to bring 8 CJs to you. You didn't invest a penny. We paid you all expenses occurred to assemble these CJs, including your son's 1st day unloading the planes which is $17.43 per hour @ 40 hours (He volunteered to take one week off to help the unloading); small items such as little brush @ $0.39 each, copy at office Depot @ $0.05 per sheet, $1,99 each of file binders, $3.15 each of working gloves, $3.29 of clean towels, solvent to clean the planes, etc.; large items such as batteries, all instruments needed to be converted to US ones, fabric tester, fabric iron, cockpit ID for all 8 planes, 24 log books from Aircraft Spruce for the planes; even for the 2 planes we sold at "as is" condition that customers trucked away, you complained that you could not make money from them, we paid you $2000 as compensation though you didn't do any work on them; not mention the oil! > and fuel for test fly & demo fly as well as the labor we agreed on the assembly work. Yes, we also paid $200 for another mechanic to sign off the plane because you are not an A&P that not be able to sign off our planes, which you never mentioned to us until we saw the bill. We paid every thing on these 8 CJs. What did you pay? Can you give one example that was expense for our 8 CJs that we didn't pay? We even paid you parts to repair other people's planes. You are sort of person that only takes, never gives. And no matter how much you receive, you never appreciate it. I can't image what could cost you lots of money? We were the solo investor. It was us that brought you lots of business and it was our 8 CJs that brought food to 2 of your families tables. As return, what did you do to us? You quoted our potential customers $30,000 to assemble our planes that scared everybody away. Finally we made deal between one customer and you. However, after agreement signed and all docum! > ents and the payment sent to the escrow account, you increased your pr > ice by thousands of dollars. What we could do? The only thing we could do to sell our planes was to agree and to lower our own price to fulfill the agreement. You knew clearly that whatever you request, we have to agree because the planes were at your place and we are nonprofessional, besides far away. As a mechanic, if you say the job needs 1000 hours, it is a 1000 hours' job. We as aircraft owner, have no choice but pay that 1000 hours work. So after the 1st plane assembled, you kept increase your price, plane by plane. Even through we didn't quite understand at that time why you were doing this (Now we understand completely. It was because at that time you had already started to import your CJs. You were saving my customers for your own planes), we still paid all the bills you sent over unless it was your own bill. > > Jim Selby, we didn't treat you bad and we don't owe you any thing. It is you that owe us, both on morality and money. Look at your hanger that full of CJ parts. How much did you pay for them? Did you pay us a penny? You said you would send all the money over every time you sold the parts and just get some commission. Almost 3 years so far, I don't recall I paid you any commission on the parts because we never received any payment. I was wondering, when you use our parts as your money making tools, do you feel comfortable? As Dave King said, "one key to continued success in American business is prompt payment of debts." Also, Mark Shrick comments a few times: "It is wise to pay ones debts." So please pay us for the parts. Then you can use these parts or sell them without misgivings. > > After we realized that you had been cheating us and taking away our customers, and our planes became worse and worse, we just quickly sold our last planes at cost to get ride of them and walk away from you without saying any thing bad about you. However, you kept to make falsehood slandering us, to cover your dishonest, dishonorable business practice and your base and vile characters. We didn't bother to lower ourselves explaining this because we know we didn't do any thing wrong to you. For these facts and figures, we never published them before, even through some people kept asking, because we still try to save you some face hoping you might have little conscious as citizen of civilized society.

I do not know where Randy got the parts to fix the engine and prop the first time around. Frankly, I assumed they came from either Doug or the Selbys. If he got them from you, fine. Randy and I are friends, not business partners, and he doesn't check in with me when he buys parts. We both dealt with David Strawn separately. I just did the test flying of the airplane and the training. I did relate the problems I had while flying it and they were 100% true. No lies involved. I did not consult my logbook for the exact amount of time the aircraft flew after the engine and prop were fixed the first time around. If it was 15 hours instead of 10 then I stand corrected. If the difference were between 10 hours and 100 hours then I think your point would be significant, but if you are suggesting that there is a substantial difference between the engine failing after 10 hours or after 15 hours then I disagree. OTOH, I take it very seriously when people call me a liar.

You'll recall that I was looking into upgrading the existing SDSL connection from 768k to 1.1M. As it turned out, the copper line wouldn't support any speeds greater than the current 768k. In light of that news, I just bit-the-bullet and ordered a full, commercial-grade T1 connection. The T1 connection will provide a full-duplex, high priority, 1.5Mb Internet connection which should be a substantial performance enhancement for all of the List services! Pacbell delivered the T1 Loop last week and it tested out fine. This past weekend I pulled the tail circuit from the demark to the office. This afternoon, Tuesday 4/1/03, the ISP is suppose come and install the new router and bring up routing on a test subnet. Assuming that everything checks out okay with the T1, new router, and routing, I will have them swing the main Matronics subnet off the SDSL and onto the T1. In theory, the swing could be nearly transparent to users, but that's usually not the case... ;-) Please expect a bit of instability in connectivity this afternoon as we work though the transition issues. I will post a follow up message when everything is up and running on the new T1 line. Finally, please know that it is solely your Contributions that make these kinds of List upgrades happen! There is no advertising budget (aka, flashing banner ads and annoying pop up browser windows) to pay these bills; operational support is solely from List members like you during the yearly List Fund Raiser. If you would like to make your Contribution to support the Lists and upgrades like this T1 connectivity enhancement, please see the List Contribution Web Site where you can make your Contribution with a Credit Card, PayPal, or Personal Check. You can even get a free List Archive CDROM with a qualifying List Contribution! The URL is: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thanks again to EVERYONE that made a generous Contribution last year and enabled this awesome upgrade to T1 service!

It was chemical treated at the factory before all the parts were assembled. It should be the same color on the inside also. That gives the appearance of the 'mucus" or greenish gold tint. Make sure that your painter knows this before paint because paint does not stick if un-treated. Good luck and repair that horizontal Stab with micro filer instead of car bondo before painting. Good job though.

You guys are scaring me from buying a CJ6 --> Yak-List message posted by: YakL1@aol.com JD: Mostly I lurk here, and rarely comment. Dave King and I are partners in a CJ that we have owned since 1995. It is a great plane, and has been an avenue into a whole new realm of flight. Having and flying this aircraft is one of the greatest joys of my life. From personal experience let me say that Jim Selby and Doug Sapp are two of the most honorable and gracious gentleman that you would ever hope to meet. (Despite Doug's lack of appreciation for the art form of the Limerick.) There has been more than one occasion where Dave and I have had to FORCE Jim to take money for work that he did, which he was planning to offer gratis. Getting parts from Doug and Jim is usually easier than getting parts for my Grumman Tiger. The CJ has been a great airplane, but the greatest part about owning it is meeting others in the Yak/CJ/warbird community. What a truly stupendous group of individuals. Learning formation flight from the CAF has been a great honor and privilege. The work that Drew and Barry have put into the RedStar events is mind-blowing, as has been the contributions by folks like Mike Filluci, Jim Goolsby and the Yak Pilots association. Even the flame wars between Brian and Mike are entertaining, and you might actually learn something. Any group of people is going to have heroes and zeros. In this group the ratio between the two is shifted strongly towards the heroes. Ken Ollinger showed up on New Year's Day to get my poor sorry butt out of a mess. Doug hauls spare parts to events like Redstar and is always ready to help out. It is an honor to be associated with folks like these. Don't know nothin' bout those Yak thingies, but I can attest that the CJ is a beautiful machine. For all those heroes I left off the above list, you have my apologies...

Have fun, fly safe, research both, get referrals, and a good pre-buy, there are some great instructors out there that will do a super job for you. We really are a happy group. Best regards. Rick B Sukhoi-29 and Yak-55 BTW, welcome. -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of alikatz@mbay.net Subject: Re: Yak-List: Wow!!

What I see is the same colour as the early CJ6's. Have to disagree with Mark. This is not an Alodine finish. It is anodized. If I seem too positive about this from just looking at a photo it's because you pointed out in your previous posting that you had already done the definitive test. Alodine will come off easily with scotch-brite and water. It is possible to wear through andodize with scotch-brite but you will wear out a lot of scotch-brite and fingers in the process. Another indicator - bond straps & ground connections to an anodized surface will have the coating removed since it is a very poor conductor.

You are part of the problem. The difference between the United States of America and much of the rest of the world is that the Constitution guarantees the rights of the individual. Your comments are shortsighted and not cognizant of the threat to Americas' freedoms. Ultimately, your views are Anti-American in that you turn a blind eye towards the concepts that have given you your freedom. You fail to recognize the threats to the freedoms spelled out for us by the founding fathers. You ascribe a "new age", kind of "punk" attitude to the freedoms envisioned by the founding fathers. Were the founding fathers to hear what you say they would cringe in embarrassment. Real Americans respect the rights of ALL people, except those who would destroy the American vision in favor of their brand of religious governance (a theocracy). Your views would ask us all to accept the views of islamic radicals as part of the diversity of America. For your information, there are some belief systems incompatible with your liberal views of freedom and democracy......islam and it's desire for your destruction are one of those. People have not fought and died in the wars of America for the rights of islamic radicals to impose their views and morality on us. You promulgate that view. I do not agree that people have the "right", as you say, "to burn the flag", or "say hateful things" that are the equivalent of yelling fire in a crowded theater. Islamic radicals are calling for the destruction of the US. Why are you protecting their "right" to do that? You would do well to work for CNN, ABC, NBC or the other, has been, liberal news outlets. Do you know Peter Arnet? Do you share his world view? I think most can see exactly what their views have wrought upon America. What makes freedom loving American different from you is that we fight for freedom against the forces that you espouse. I suspect that you who would gladly have unchecked immigration from islamic countries of islamic radicals bent on your destruction. Somehow, you think they have the "right" to express their views. You couldn't be more wrong. Sure, you can disagree as you say "WITHOUT FEAR OF RETRIBUTION". But when that disagreement threatens the lives of Americans then that is where you and I diverge. *THAT* is what makes you and I different. I happen to respect the rights of freedom loving Americans. I can only wonder where your views come from? Now as I said above, please go away. You scare me more than Nazis or Communists. ________________________________ Message 46 ____________________________________ Time: 10:29:14 PM PST US From: "Frank Haertlein" Subject: RE: Yak-List: Poetic Justice --> Yak-List message posted by: "Frank Haertlein" Walt; I'm not sure about the German translation for: "Hasta la vista . . . baby?"

Stallings" Subject: Yak-List: Re: Wow!! You guys are scaring me from buying a CJ6 --> Yak-List message posted by: "Ray P. Stallings" Brian Lloyd recently gave a first hand account of his experience with Andrew Zheng's "quality" aircraft. I would like to follow his lead and give my first hand assessment of the quality of "Honest Andrew's" product. Mind you, Andrew (and his mouthpiece, Jennifer) assured me on numerous occasions that this aircraft was comprised of all original major components (wings, tail, controls, etc.) They also guaranteed that it was fresh out of Chinese Military overhaul and had absolutely no damage history. In their words, it just needed some minor work in order to make it airworthy here in the U.S. I knew this airframe was not going to be able to be flown out of L.A. in any kind of reasonable time frame, so I trucked it back to Texas so we could go through it with a fine tooth comb. What we found should make anyone that has purchased an aircraft from this couple, park it immediately and go through it again before putting one more hour on it. If you are considering purchasing an aircraft from Mr. Zheng (JN Trading) please consider the list of MAJOR gripes I have compiled below. (The minor gripe list is much too long to list here and is comprised of irregularities you would expect to find on a "used" aircraft.) If you are comfortable facing these kinds of major repairs (or possibly worse), and don't have a problem with the fact you will receive absolutely no accountability from JN Trading after they have your money, you might be able to get a good deal from "Honest Andrew". Otherwise, I would recommend you look elsewhere. There are plenty of other truly honest folks out there. Here is the punch list from my I.A. (as of December 2002, there is more to come). Read on and decide for yourself if they represented this aircraft in a honest fashion: ************************************************************ Major irregularities found on Nanchang CJ-6A aircraft, S/N 4132022: ************************************************************ The sellers represented this aircraft as being recently removed from active duty in the Chinese Air Force and then undergoing an extensive overhaul prior to being shipped to us. The sellers also stated that this aircraft was comprised of all original major components and had no damage history whatsoever. In my professional opinion, these statements are completely false based on what we have found to date. It appears that this airframe was sitting for an extended period of time in the elements and then hastily put together with rejected and junk components from other aircraft to make it appear to be somewhat in the condition they claimed. It was not airworthy by any stretch of the imagination (or FARs). To date, it is still not airworthy, although we are making good progress toward achieving that goal. 01. Horizontal stabilizer - Bogus serial numbers stencil painted over original (much older) serial numbers to make it appear to match aircraft serial number. Structure was filled with large amount of dried mud and a bird's nest. Also had very poor skin repair to top left side. This part has been sitting in the elements for a very long time. It has NOT been installed on an aircraft that was recently retired from active duty. 02. Elevator Trim Linkage - Rusted and unsalvageable. Had to be scrapped. It is physically impossible that this part could have come off a flyable aircraft. 03. Elevators - Unairworthy as delivered. Left side unsalvageable. Both elevators included bogus serial numbers painted over older (non-matching) serial numbers. Fabric rotted. Internal structure of left elevator had every rib cracked completely in half with severe corrosion. Right elevator had similar structural damage with moderate corrosion but was repairable. Corrosion control and new fabric required for right elevator. Left elevator required replacement. 04. Rudder - Unairworthy as delivered. Bogus serial numbers like other tail surfaces. Light to moderate corrosion. All but one rib broken completely in half. Rudder was repaired but only with major effort. Fabric rotted and required replacement. 05. Fairings - All of the fairings were in extremely poor condition. The poor condition might be expected on an aircraft of this vintage and background but the very poor "repairs" done by seller made them useless and all wing and tail fairings require replacement. 06. Fabric - As stated earlier, all fabric was in very poor and unairworthy condition. Seller attempted to conceal this fact by applying a fresh coat of paint over the rotting fabric (unacceptably thick) and then stenciling bogus serial numbers over the original serial numbers to make them appear to be the same vintage as the airframe. 07. Aileron Hinge Attach Brackets - Unairworthy as delivered. Structure for inboard attach point bearings severely cracked on both wings. Doublers required and requirement for continuing frequent inspections to check for further crack propagation. 08. Battery Corrosion - Moderate corrosion from battery in battery storage compartment. 09. ADI - Forward cockpit ADI will not erect. Requires replacement. 10. VSI - Both vertical speed indicators failed calibration test. Replaced with US instruments. 11. ASI - Both airspeed indicators failed calibration and required re-facing/recalibration to reflect correct airspeeds. 12. Turn & Bank Indicator - Aft T&B indicator inop. Requires replacement. 13. Propeller - Moderate leaking at hub. Needs to be sent to prop shop for inspection and repair/replacement. 14. Oil Cooler - Unairworthy as delivered. Original oil cooler appears to have been robbed by seller and replaced with unit in poor state of repair. (This is based on the fact that the seller showed the buyer a video tape of the engine being "test run". When aircraft arrived at destination, the oil cooler hoses were not attached. It is very unlikely the engine was run for the duration shown on the video with the oil cooler disconnected.) Unit had to be sent to repair facility for major overhaul. 15. Brakes - Unairworthy as delivered. Drums extremely gouged and unserviceable. Require replacement. Pads in similar condition and also require replacement. 16. Tires - Slick, cord showing, not airworthy. Require replacement. Main gear tires are possible candidates for re-capping. Need to be sent to Desser Tire for evaluation. 17. Landing Gear Doors - Very poor condition. Large doors required partial re-skinning due to structural damage and corrosion. 18. Manual Fuel Pump - Unairworthy as delivered. Leaking fuel in cockpit. Leaking from seal around actuator shaft. Determination made to replace manual pump with US manufactured electric boost pump. 19. Pneumatic System Check Valves - Unairworthy as delivered. Every check valve on this aircraft was severely corroded causing intermittent operation. Four of the check valves did not even contain functional springs due to rusting. 20. Pneumatic System Air Filter/Drier - Improper assembly. Contained an insufficient amount of required desiccant. Filter pads and screens were not packed properly. This allowed moisture and desiccant crystals to contaminate the entire pneumatic system and contributed to corrosion in almost every system component and check valve. Filter/Drier rebuilt IAW overhaul manual specs. New desiccant installed. 21. Firewall-Mounted Pneumatic System Deposit Accumulation Bottle - Valve inop. 22. Landing Gear Actuator Cylinders - Overhaul required based on large amount of foreign matter, rust, and corrosion found in other areas of pneumatic system. Outsourced to overhaul facility. 23. Pitot-Static Lines - Unairworthy as delivered. All flexible P/S lines were cracked and rotted. Required replacement of all lines. 24. Crewmember Restraint Harnesses - Belts/shoulder straps in poor condition. (Severe UV damage.) Replacement required. 25. Canopies - Poor quality plexiglass with even poorer repairs. Glass might have been acceptable for this type and vintage aircraft except for the poor repairs (visibility restriction issues) done which necessitate replacement of all plexiglass. 26. Shimmy Damper - Actuator shaft was sheared internally. Repairable if replacement part can be found. 27. General Airframe - Numerous areas on wings and fuselage where minor skin damage was repaired using unacceptable techniques. Very time-consuming to repair "repairs". 28. Wing Attach Bolts/Nuts - Unairworthy as delivered. All 8 of these very critical components were severely damaged. They appear to have been struck numerous times with a heavy object (probably a sledge-type hammer) during the removal process. Due to the extreme importance of these components, they are deemed unairworthy and must be replaced. 29. Engine - During initial engine test runs, the engine did not make the minimum power specified in the maintenance manual for acceptance. Further investigation required before aircraft will be released for flight. 30. Fuel Quantity Gauge - System very unreliable. Shows considerably more fuel than aircraft has aboard (all attitudes). Determination made to replace with much more accurate US manufactured system. 31. Aileron Control Rod-End Bearings - Unairworthy as delivered. Both control rod-end bearings frozen and unserviceable. Replacement required. 32. Wheel Bearing Seals - Deteriorated. Need replacement. ________________________________ Message 48 ____________________________________ Time: 11:25:15 PM PST US From: "Walt Lannon" Subject: Re: Yak-List: generator tests=QUOTED_EMAIL_TEXT,REFERENCES,SPAM_PHRASE_01_02, --> Yak-List message posted by: "Walt Lannon" Hi Lou; Was the generator system 1.working after initial installation and then failed?
