Hope to see that CJ at OSH this year. Good luck with the CJ.
When will you have a "go....NO GO point? Late next week?
Good luck and be safe.

The Interavia I-3 (Russians pronounce "I" as "E") is getting a going
over and I'm not going to "explore the envelope" until I have Sergei in
my back seat in mid-August. For now, just trying like heck to get the
CJ ready in time for OSH.... <sigh>

I agree 100%. Regardless, joining directly into the #3 position strikes me as
even more dangerous than joining into the slot. Regardless, this strikes me as
a three-beer problem that needs to be solved in the hangar at the end of the
day.

----totally agree with all the above comments. ANY formation work is
potentially hazardous, and must be approached with total
professionalism, preplanning, and practice.
I am reminded of a movie clip that was taken after the end of
WWII, when a flight of Australian Mosquitos was coming back home. They
were landing at their home field in Australia, diamond formation, last
official flight of their war. They made a low pass for the home field
crowd waiting to greet them, and midfield, the leader pulled up sharply,
obviously unexpectedly. His wingmen were above and tight, they both hit
him with their wings, blowing off his tail and their wings. The debris
destroyed the slot man.
This stuff ain't casual, guys, but this formation, properly
planned and practiced by competent pilots, I think is a wonderful idea.
PS In my opinion, the safe way to do this in any manner is
VERTICAL separation, until stabilized. Same for almost any other
formation work. Look at any of the pro formation teams. They are never
exactly at the same vertical level. And the trail guys are always low.

Anyone have a source for instrument panel screws for Yak 52?
Talking about the pilot 1 and pilot 2 cockpit main flight instrument panel.
Appears the screws are M3 & M4, oval head, countersunk steel or stainless with
an odd angle countersink (phillips).
Need lots of them.
Please advise off list.

Saturday morning before I went out for a bit of aerobatic flight, I
decided to lift the cowling on my 52 for a quick inspection. It was
purely by chance that I pulled on the left top main engine mount - to
discover the bottom tubing had snapped in two. The danger here is that
the fracture was hidden directly behind the vertical situated oil
reservoir. To best conclusion I can make at this stage is that the
tubing snapped over a period of time because of high G loading on the
oil reservoir and then transferred to the tubing. The tubing snapped
directly next to the oil reservoir clamp.
I think it is worth the while to check your 52's engine mount for
symptoms of metal fatigue.
Go to www.jdlsolutions.com/yak52 for pictures. The pictures I show is
with the damaged ends already sawed off.

Alan,
Clever idea!
Another thought: The two elements could fly a parallel but separated track and
then merge over the wedding party. Symbolically this would be closer to a joining
of equals.
#4 joining to a Diamond: With the "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" thought in mind,
it looks like a small dog coming from behind to mount a much larger animal - from
below! Negative male pictures.
The picture that comes to mind of the "found man" joining in as #3 is that of a
little chick running to get under Mama's wing. Again, not studly.

Well troops,
Tropical Depression 6 is coming up the chute. It moving to fast to build
into a hurricane but it may be in Florida or off the our west coast by early
Saturday. If it makes landfall in the MS, AL area by Saturday evening, even as
just a depression, its going to sour the weather right up the Mississippi Valley
northward.
This is my prognostication, not NOAA's. :-\ We're (my GIB Craig Payne) are
going to watch #6. If by Thursday morning he/she is in central Cuba as
forecast, we'll leave that afternoon. If she turns more westerly toward the
Yucatan, we may leave on Saturday morning as planned. If she take a more northerly
track, it will be in central FL. by Saturday morning.
Getting ready to make a run for it !

Hi Bob,
189.5 hours - prop, airframe and engine. The only damage history is an
"almost" gear-up incident. The previous owner pulled the gear up while
sitting on the taxi way. The right aileron and wing tip had very light
damage. I'm now trying to get my hands on chromoly tubing to here in
Florida to fix the problem.
Deon.

Yeah, they really get to 2350. Check the tach cable assembly to make
sure it is secure. Have someone move the prop lever in the cockpit and
watch to make sure the cable housing in the engine compartment isn't
"sliding" and keeping you from actually reaching the 2350 position.
Mine was doing this and I just had it fixed during the annual
inspection.
good luck.

-----Guys, one other related item. PLEASE check your mounts for any
kind of fastener that is NOT a rubber-mounted Adel clamp, or doesn't
have some kind of tubing protector under whatever fastener is securing
whatever to the mount tubes.
I have replaced or repaired three engine mounts in my career
because someone used tiewraps or unprotected clamps to secure items to
the motor mounts. Oil and dirt collects under them, forming grinding
compound under vibration, and the tubes literally get cut. One of the
tubes wasn't broken, it was worn completely through.

| Subject: | Surging M14P....and the easy fix........................ |
--> Yak-List message posted by: "Frank Haertlein" <yak52driver@earthlink.net>
Yaksters:
As regards my engine surging problem.........
The back-firing was caused by a crossfire between two plug wires due to
carbon tracing in the distributor cap. Cleaning that up solved the
backfiring issue. That was the easy part but the engine still surged up
and down at a regular rate between approx 40 and 55%.
After talking to the guys doing the maintenance on the 1939 Rosco-Turner
replica here at Cal City, one of the mechanics instantly said "I know
what the problem is! You've got an induction leak!"
An induction leak was found due to loose carburetor bolts. The bolts
were tightened and the surging went away.
At low idle, the supercharger does not have enough boost to pressurize
the intake so the engine sucks more or less atmospheric pressure.
Because the engine was sucking air thru the base of the carb gasket the
engine would run lean. This speeds up the engine momentarily. The
speedup of the engine is enough to cause the blower to start functioning
and thus the engine now gets a normal, low level boost mixture. This
then causes the engine to slow down and idle normally again. At that
point the engine is again sucking air at close to atmospheric pressure
whereupon it speeds up again because of the lean condition and thus
causing the blower to become functional again. It's a vicious cycle. If
you see your engine surging up and down its caused by an induction leak.

Well I just received my latest issue of warbirds and unfortunately I was not suprised
to see that the Yak Pilots Association and their formation clinic out of
MTW wasnt mentioned in your "from the co's cockpit" editorial. You seemed to
know about all the North American and L-39 outings but not a peep about ours.
I'm sure its possible that you didnt know, but they've been staging from there
for some years now. You cant miss them, they're those really big formations at
Sun& Fun and Air Venture every year that darken the skys in prefect symmetry
outnumbering all the other formations.
What is it about the Warbird leadership that makes you constantly snub the Yaks
and CJ's? Is it that we are the fastest growing warbird segment in the country,
or is it that only real warbirds were made by North American and Grumman.
I'm sure its not the fact that they're from communist countries because you give
the L-39 guys lots of attention. Maybe you're just sore that our planes are
easy to maintain, sipp very small amounts of fuel, and manuvers well and sounds
great, and all for under $80k.
I can understand your resenment at all these "Cheap" planes invading your shows,
kinda like having trailer trash move in next door. I'm sorry I didnt have a
spare Million to go buy myself a Mustang, and I really couldnt afford the oil
bill for a T6. Maybe you guys should change the name to "EAA American Warbirds
and L-39 guys" and we can have "EAA Warbirds that the other guys dont like" Then
we can have our very own section at Air Venture, even though it may be in
Fon Du Loc or someplace even more remote, like the YAK parking area at last years
Air Venture.

Ernie,
Good job on your letter. Just saw that Jim agreed. For once he would not be
on the EAA hot seat. We need more members to speak out because we are not
only the present, but the future!
By the way, Jim are you still planning on leaving on Saturday with Craig. I
hope to leave on Sunday with my daughter. Let me know.

Well guys,
A lesson to be learned is that you should read the entire magazine first
before sending a letter to the editor, there is a story by Jim Goolsby on
Page 36, and then another story about Bushi Chengs by Bud Davisson airplane
on page 38.
So as usual, I insert foot in mouth.
Ernie

Dear Mike,
I'd like to apologize for my last email, since I didnt read the entire magazine
and failed to notice not 1 but 2 articles devoted to yaks and CJ's but and then
the kicker, a full page photo of a Yak 52 on the rear cover.
I'll remove my shoe from my mouth later
Embarrased,
