I was hoping you could tell me what problems you look for in an airframe that has performed an accidental tail slide. -- 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 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:48:26 PM PST US Subject: Yak-List: We're all vunerable From: Barry Hancock --> Yak-List message posted by: Barry Hancock ...the accident that took the life of airshow pilot Chris Smisson recently was sad, indeed tragic.

I am thinking of grinding down an open end or welding a handle on a socket and grinding the top off so the screw driver will fit down the center. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:42:13 PM PST US From: "Rick Basiliere" Subject: RE: Yak-List: Huosai valve adjustment tool --> Yak-List message posted by: "Rick Basiliere" There is a tool for the job in the Engine Tool Kit. I'll see tomorrow if I can get a pix for you.

If you would like to write up a pirep for your mount, be it a Yak-50/52/55, CJ, or whatever (well, we really don't promote spam cans...or helicopters...or the french government), we'd love to consider it for the site. Also, we have a *live* (read instant) Chat Room on the site as well. I actually used it at length for the first time last night and enjoyed it thoroughly. The Chat room can be accessed through the navigation bar on the site. Red Star update: We have received over 35 registrations, with many more expected attendees still to register. There's a pretty wide range of birds that will be showing up...rumors that even an F-5 with a Red Star on the tail may make an appearance. To see a complete list of the aircraft attending, and the number registered, go to http://www.allredstar.com/Current_ops_RS_Attendance.asp With the war substantially over (God bless our troops) and oil prices declining, it looks like we'll have a great turnout...
