    Subject: Re: Yak 52 Problems...
    --> Yak-List message posted by: PSalter@aol.com Greetings, I have a few problems I need advice on. 1) My snot bottle is not snotting. For awhile, I would drain the bottle and would get the "wooosh" blast of water, oil and air but lately, I have been getting either very little pressure or none. I assume it is clogged. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Can the snot bottle be cleaned out? 2) How does one balance the main gear tires? Mine are both new and vibrate the plane on takeoff and landing. I have a strange situation with this plane. The past owner switched sides with the main landing gear and I believe this may be the root of the problem due to different geometry of the wheels. Anybody else try this? I will switch the gear back to original when I get jacks. 3) My slave compass will not slave. Where would I start my trouble shooting? The compass in the slave mode has been off by 90 degrees since I got this plane 3 months ago. I works fine when adjusted and used out of the slave mode. I have tried turning the adjustment knob on the device behind the rear cockpit to no avail. It seems this adjustment has made no difference. 4) My prop has been splattering oil on the iris ring even after I tighten the oil supply tube in the center of the hub, put in new seals and even had the piston bore machined to true up and remove groves made from debris in the hub. What to do next? This is my second Yak and the first didn't leak nearly as much. So, the amount of leakage is above normal in my experience. Thanks Phil Salter 2504

For awhile, I would drain the bottle and would get the "wooosh" blast of water, oil and air but lately, I have been getting either very little pressure or none. I assume it is clogged. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Can the snot bottle be cleaned out? It sounds like your not holding airpressure behind the bottle, in other words, when you shut down, that pressure that causes the "Swoosh" is escaping to atmosphere. BTW, your inflight (in other words engine running) airpressure readings are normal and not running low right? Start simple, from the source (compressor line fitting) check your lines and fittings, the nut holding the line to the bottle may have untorqued or the needle valve is gummed up at the bottle. I have removed and completely reconditioned my bottles, easy to do and takes no time. I also found my bottle wheel-handle (used to open the valve) spring was worn out (this spring puts tension on the wheel, keeping it from vibrating open inflight), you can find strong replacements at a hardware store. >

    --> Yak-List message posted by: cjpilot710@aol.com Gang, A number of weeks ago I asked how many people wanted an Acro box for MTW. One person said they like one but would be only using it this coming Saturday and Sunday. At the time I wasn't planning on being there and sense its in my name and I'm suppose to control it, I didn't see the need to go after it. Time passed. Yesterday Mike Filucci called me asking if we got approval. Of course we hadn't because I hadn't. I rushed out the application and FAX it to the FSDO in MKE. They got back to me today and said they needed a letter from the airport manger with his OK. I tracked him down but he was leaving town within the hour and would not be back until Monday next. No approval, no box. I apologize for not following though with this in a timely manner.

    Subject: Re: JL-2 Prop
    Mike Ingram" <mikeingram@vicair.net> --> Yak-List message posted by: joe h <joeh@shaw.ca> The JL-2 series of propellers are new manufacture in China. JL2 Will fit the spline shaft of the Chinese HS6K 400 HP. Fantastic performance. JL2-A Will fit the spline shaft of the HS6A, however we are still experimenting with this configuration. JL2-A Will also fit the spline shaft of the Russian M14B, JL2-B Is configured to fit the standard M14P shaft. More fantastic performance. We are presently flying all three propellers on three different CJ6A,S. We plan to be at MTW and OSH 27/07 for demos.

    Subject: Re: JL-2 Prop
    --> Yak-List message posted by: ggg6@att.net Hi Joe,,Gary Gabbard here, from Las Vegas, N22YK, I have a M14P in my CJ,,The JL2-B sounds interesting, altho the standard 2 bladed Russian Prop, gives great performance,,I would consider installing a metal 3 bladed prop, depending on weight difference, Performance, and Price Range. If you could, when you have time send me some of your performance figures to compare with my own performance figures, it would be appreciated. Also give me an idea about pricing and availability of the JL2-B. Also how many hrs. you may have operated the prop on the M14P,,also have you any testing, or harmonic vibration figures on the installation? Or have the Russians been running the prop on the M14P without any adverse problems? Thanks Joe, will be waiting with interest on your reply.....Thank You...Gary Gabbard. P.S. for interest, my rate of climb with full take off power out of Las Vegas ( Field Elevation is 2230 ft.) on a 95 Degree day with full tanks, one pilot, 2 Parachutes, and the usual assorted junk in the baggage bin that we all carry, is a sustained climb of 2200 ft per minute, at 90 MPH indicated,,,this is not a zoom climb, it is a stabilized climb at 90 MPH. Once again this is with full take off power, not a power reduction,,did this just for testing purposes...Have not really noticed any increase in cruise airspeed when I did the engine change....all of the performance benifits have come in the take off distance and the rate of climb. > --> Yak-List message posted by: joe h <joeh@shaw.ca> > > The JL-2 series of propellers are new manufacture in China. > > JL2 Will fit the spline shaft of the Chinese HS6K 400 HP.
