The inverters for the gyros suck a lot of power. I suspect your battery just isn't carrying the load. Put a voltmeter across the battery terminals and turn on the gyro. I would not be surprised if you saw a significant dip in voltage. You probably need a new battery. If your battery is more than two years old you almost definitely need a new battery. Given that this is an all-electric cockpit, the battery is pretty important. -- 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 GMT-4

Any pro/cons? This is something that is near and dear to my heart as I have been dealing with various battery types on the boat. There is usually some confusion on the type of battery as there are two types of sealed battery: AGM and gel. Of the two, AGM is pretty much a drop-in replacement for the standard flooded cell battery. It has lower internal resistance so it charges more quickly and the voltage stays higher as it discharges. Other than that, it is pretty much like flooded cell batteries and can use the same voltage regulator settings. The only caveat is that, for long term charging you need to turn the charge voltage way down to keep from overcharging. This is less of an issue for flooded cell batteries because you can just add water to them if you overcharge them. Gel-cells are better for deep-cycle applications but you need a really good multi-stage charging system. First off, a 28V gell-cell needs to charge at not more than 28.4 V and then needs to switch down to 27.2V for float charge if you are going charge it all day (these numbers based on a temperature of 20C and need to be adjusted for temperature). You can probably set your regulator to about 27.8V in something like a CJ6A or Yak-52 where your hops tend to be around an hour. -- 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 GMT-4

    Subject: Wing Modifications
    HTML_10_20, HTML_FONT_FACE_ODD) --> Yak-List message posted by: "Richard Goode" <richard.goode@russianaeros.com> To the Yak-List/Rick Swanson Wing Modifications In reply to Rick Swanson's query, the following might be of interest: a.. There are today 114 Service Bulletins (ADs) on the Yak-52. The majority are trivial, but some are important. The three significant structural ones for wings are: a.. 59-R reinforcement of the wing mounting and a spar strengthening plate.=20 b.. 60-R reinforcement of the fuselage centre section. c.. 107-BD external (bottom) spar-strap. a.. 59 and 60 go as a pair, and were embodied at the factory from 1986. b.. 107 was embodied from 1991, although some 1991 aircraft did not have it incorporated. c.. 59 and 60 are a major modification, particularly because of the importance of accurate positioning, and therefore are typically done only with factory jigs. d.. 107 is somewhat easier. e.. It is a misnomer to call the wings "heavy" or "light" - the difference is purely in the wing mounting and strengthening plates, and does not affect the spar itself. f.. In terms of the strength and flying loads, the following is the Yakovlev position: a.. Aircraft without 59 and 60 are limited to +5G/-3G, and should not be flown aerobatically. b.. Aircraft with 59 and 60 but without 107 are limited to +7G/-5G, but are not cleared for "unlimited aerobatics" (but what this means is not specified). c.. Aircraft with 59, 60 and 107 are approved for +7G/-5G, and are cleared for "unlimited aerobatics." a.. In Rick's case, a 1993 wing will have 59 incorporated, and therefore his 1984 fuselage will have had to have been modified to incorporate 60 in order for the wing to fit on the aircraft. I hope this helps.

I have been living and breathing battery technology as I am still working on the DC electrical system for the boat. When you pay $2000 for a set of batteries you don't want to screw them up. I have multiple charging sources and I need to make sure they all work together so as not to damage the battery. -- 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 GMT-4

    Subject: Yak fatigue life
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Rob Rowe" <rarowe@ntlworld.com> Came across an article by James McLellan from a copy of the Yak Driver (1998) regarding how the Russians factored the fatigue life of Yak-52s ... can anyone help me find out about the origins of this information and/or more about how to apply it to a given aircraft?? Especially as to the absolute limits in terms of hours / faults etc ... as you may surmise the innocence of this question belies my ignorance of the topic ... so if anyone can offer a brief "101" on Yak fatigue lives I'd be grateful! Thanks, Rob Yak-52 G-YAKX
