It tells you the actual mag drop of each mag. Which mag is grounded. If there is a spread in the mags rpm. You have them set for rpm ranges where a yellow light comes on when you exceed normal range or a red light at max rpm. The readings can be set in % at the factory, if you want to play like your in a jet. Plus it is very simple to install and has a very low failure rate. Like Hal said, its a Hobbs meter but a lot better one.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "A. Dennis Savarese" <adsavar@gte.net> Aubrey, Go to my web site, www.yak-52.com, visit the Downloads page and download FAA Order 8130.2E. It's the latest version of the "Bible according to the FAA". It describes most everything you need to know about certifying an Experimental aircraft and the issuance of the Special Airworthiness certificate. BTW, the words "EXPERIMENTAL" in 2" block letters, clearly visible to persons entering the aircraft is a requirement.

They are not robust. I have had to repair my personal pair four or five times now. I have had to replace the stirrups/forks/whatever (the things that hold the earcups) two or three times. I have had to replace the headband once. I have had to replace the battery-box once. They are easy to fix and Lightspeed has been johnny-on-the-spot sending me replacement parts free-of-charge but the bottom line is that you are going to have to fix them sooner or later. Structural plastic is just not as robust as the steel parts used in the David-Clark-like headsets. The latter, when equipped with the softtop and ear seals from Oregon Aero, are almost as comfortable as the Lightspeeds too. Frankly, I prefer my helmet to either, at least when flying the CJ. The helmet does a better job of blocking the medium and high sound frequencies that cause hearing loss. I save my Lightspeeds for flying spam cans. OTOH, my wive loves the Lightspeeds and won't wear anything else, even in the CJ. BTW, the Lightspeeds sound great with music too so if you have a music input on your intercom the Lightspeed headsets sound a lot better. As for wiring, there shouldn't be a problem. The mic functions as a standard carbon mic so there is no problem there. All you need is to put in the proper civilian jacks or make up an adaptor cable that adapts standard civilian jacks to whatever the Yak-52 uses. The headphone input is pretty easy since the headset has its own amplifier and isn't picky about the impedance of the audio signal. It also has its own volume controls to adjust for differences between headsets. -- 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: Re: headsets
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Ernie" <ernest.martinez@oracle.com> Just my 2 cents. I have the light speeds, the DC's and have tried the Bose. The light speeds work fine but the passive attenuation stinks, the DC's have much better passive attenuation but need an air tight seal (cant wear glasses) and are heavier, but I do beleive they are superior to the light speeds in terms of overall noise attenuation, the Bose are in a whole different leauge when it comes to Comfort and noise attenuation, and they dont require an air tight seal, you can actually pull them slightly off the side of your head and the ANR keeps working. Do that with the DC's and you'll hear all sorts of popping, do that with the light speeds and is as if you took them completely off. I used to think that my lightspeeds were better than my DC's untill I put in a high noise intercomm in my CJ, My old intercom allowed me to turn the volume way up, so both headsets seemed to work ok, they would block out the low freq stuff and it seemed to quiet the noise. But as soon as I went to the high noise intercomm I could hardly hear anything with the light speeds, but heard much better with the DC's. I sent the light speeds back thinking that there was something wrong with the headsets, they were sent back as fine. Here's the scoop. The high noise intercomm doesnt allow you to crank up the volume to overcome the surrounding noise, as the PS engineering guy told me, "whats the point of wearing head sets to block out 110 db of cabin noise only to replace it with 110 db of radio volume?". I used to think that my Lightspeeds sounded better but I was still hurting my hearing becuase I was listening to the radio and the intercom at shock volume. As soon as I put the DC's in the plane, I was able to turn the radio volume way down and the intercom volume way down, in effect I was in a quieter space. After a long flight you can really feel the difference in the reduced fatigue and lack of ringing in my ear. I beleive I have done considerable hearing damage due to "Thinking that things were quiter" Ernie ----- Original Message ----- From: <owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com> > --> Yak-List message posted by: > > From: Aubrey Price <aprice@vartec.net> > To: "'yak-list@matronics.com'" <yak-list@matronics.com> > Subject: RE: Yak-List: RE: > Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 07:50:04 -0500 > > Funny you should say that.

    Subject: YPA Transitional Brief on NOMEX and other items
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Mark Schrick" <schrick@pacbell.net> Frank, This has nothing to do with combat. Personally, I have seen several engine fires in both CJ's and Yak 52 and hope no one ever gets burned. Because of this, NOMEX is a SAFETY regulation not a "play Air Force/Navy" thing. If you wish to wear flip flops, shorts, t-shirt because it is comfortable in the cockpit then so be it but I hope no one every has to visit a friend in a BURN CENTER and see and smell the after math. It is one that you will never forget and I don't mind sweating a little bit more to wear the following: 1. Parachutes 2. NOMEX Flight Suit and gloves 3. Laced up boots for support 4. Helmet with visor Since I don't fly straight and level very often anymore, I always wear a parachute and do not look at it as an "expensive seat cushion". Everything I have in the cockpit is for safety and something I felt was necessary for flight safety. Think about people...........We are a professional group and we should act like a professional group by demonstrating group safety and being poster Children of air safety for all signatory groups to look up to. Only way that can happen is through TRAINING, and PERSONAL DEMONSTRATION to all that know you. Remember ONE person can make this group like GOOD or really BAD. Which one do you want to be? Good luck out there.............and be safe.

What's up with that? I understand the safety implications but then why do other fast groups not require it? Fer cryin' out loud...we're not involved in combat activities here! If it's an image kind of thing then you are in fact being exclusive. I'm open to your reasoning on this issue. Frank N9110M

Drew has his reasoning on this issue, but let me take a slightly different approach. Picture yourself on a new baseball team at the beginning of the season. Everyone on the team is wearing a uniform except for this one guy, we'll call him Frank. :) No one has ever played with Frank before. What impression does Frank make on the rest of the guys? Does he come across as a team guy concerned about unity, cohesion, and following expectations? Forget about protection, flight suits are a uniform that say "I'm a part of the group." I don't know about the rest of you guys, but when I have someone doing cross-unders behind me with my very life on the line, I at least want to know that he has a team mentality. It is not a guarantee, but it is something that raises my confidence level. No, Frank, this is not combat. If it were you'd be required to wear a helmet, gloves, boots, survival gear, a sidearm, and put your life on the line every time you fly....wait, my life *is* on the line every time I fly. Formation isn't combat, thank goodness, but it is serious business where trust is important. From a safety standpoint remember we have fuel lines running through the cockpits of these airplanes, gas on all four sides of us, and fuel lines in the engine compartment that are capable of spraying fuel on very hot exhaust stacks. An extra 5 seconds of protection could be the difference between life and death. Just ask the husband of the Casa jet that crashed at OSH a few years back who watched his wife struggle to get out of the plane but get overcome by fire. Frankly, according to formation accident reports, it seems less likely that you will need your parachute than your Nomex. If parachutes are a no-brainer, then why shouldn't Nomex be? So if you want to fly acro, etc., where you are by yourself without Nomex, that is your choice. Party on. But if you are going to be in an environment where 1 to 7 other people (more in a mass formation) are trusting you with their lives, respect the team - wear the uni.

    Subject: November X-ray
    From: Barry Hancock <radialpower@cox.net>
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Barry Hancock <radialpower@cox.net> I don't have time to look up the reg right now, but our aircraft fall under the regulation that allows you to substitute "NX" for an EXPERIMENTAL placard in the aircraft. This, however, does not guarantee that you'll be able to do it. My FSDO are pains in the butt and as opposed to fighting them on it, I just went with a "temporary" placard in addition to the NX so that I could get my plane in the air with as little hassle as possible. Once it's flying (soon, I hope) I will reapproach the FSDO and get them to change my Ops. Limits based on the regulation that clearly allows for this. As soon as I have time I'll dig up the reg. and post it.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: Barry Hancock <radialpower@cox.net> ...quicker than I thought. As you know almost all FAR's have some hidden small print. Paragraph 20 states Experimental must be on the aircraft in accordance with part 45.23 (b). Skip now to the section of 45.22 part 3 (b) mid page that states that a U.S. registered aircraft with a experimental certificate in the exhibition class (which the CJ-6 falls) that has the same (unchanged) external configuration as a aircraft built at least 30 years ago (the CJ-6 has not changed from 1963 through 2001 (except for cost) May be operated without displaying marks in accordance with 45.23 through 45.33 which lets us go without the experimental word in paragraph 20. Good luck in dealing with the Lack of Flight Standards dudes.... Barry Hancock Director of Operations Red Stars, Inc. 949.300.5510 www.allredstar.com "Communism - Lousy Politics, Great Airplanes"

I have had to replace the stirrups/forks/whatever (the things that hold the earcups) two or three times. I have had to replace the headband once. I have had to replace the battery-box once. They are easy to fix and Lightspeed has been johnny-on-the-spot sending me replacement parts free-of-charge but the bottom line is that you are going to have to fix them sooner or later. Structural plastic is just not as robust as the steel parts used in the David-Clark-like headsets.

The mic functions as a standard carbon mic so there is no problem there. All you need is to put in the proper civilian jacks or make up an adaptor cable that adapts standard civilian jacks to whatever the Yak-52 uses. The headphone input is pretty easy since the headset has its own amplifier and isn't picky about the impedance of the audio signal. It also has its own volume controls to adjust for differences between headsets. > > -- > > 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 > >

I doubt it, as the various FSDO's normally do not get into a "mines bigger than yours" mode with respect to another FSDO's methodology. Either you have the proper set of documents from your FSDO or you do not. What those documents say is not their concern.

    Subject: YPA Transitional Brief on NOMEX and other items
    From: "Deon Esterhuizen" <desterhuizen@hyphos360.com>
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Deon Esterhuizen" <desterhuizen@hyphos360.com> Where is the best place to purchase Nomax suit and gloves - I was lucky with the helmet - got it as a gift from my wife. Deon N192YK -----Original Message----- From: Mark Schrick [mailto:schrick@pacbell.net] Subject: Yak-List: YPA Transitional Brief on NOMEX and other items --> Yak-List message posted by: "Mark Schrick" <schrick@pacbell.net> Frank, This has nothing to do with combat. Personally, I have seen several engine fires in both CJ's and Yak 52 and hope no one ever gets burned. Because of this, NOMEX is a SAFETY regulation not a "play Air Force/Navy" thing. If you wish to wear flip flops, shorts, t-shirt because it is comfortable in the cockpit then so be it but I hope no one every has to visit a friend in a BURN CENTER and see and smell the after math. It is one that you will never forget and I don't mind sweating a little bit more to wear the following: 1. Parachutes 2. NOMEX Flight Suit and gloves 3. Laced up boots for support 4. Helmet with visor Since I don't fly straight and level very often anymore, I always wear a parachute and do not look at it as an "expensive seat cushion". Everything I have in the cockpit is for safety and something I felt was necessary for flight safety. Think about people...........We are a professional group and we should act like a professional group by demonstrating group safety and being poster Children of air safety for all signatory groups to look up to. Only way that can happen is through TRAINING, and PERSONAL DEMONSTRATION to all that know you. Remember ONE person can make this group like GOOD or really BAD. Which one do you want to be? Good luck out there.............and be safe.

These are MANDATORY items if you fly in an association funded, managed, sponsored event or flight. 1. Parachutes 2. Nomex Flight Suit 3. No open toed shoes Drew, yaksters; As far as I know the Yak group is the only group I know of that requires #2 of your requirements....ie, a Nomex Flight Suit in order to be included in All Red Star activities. What's up with that? I understand the safety implications but then why do other fast groups not require it? Fer cryin' out loud...we're not involved in combat activities here! If it's an image kind of thing then you are in fact being exclusive. I'm open to your reasoning on this issue. Frank N9110M

I made a little placard that I could slip between the canopy and the top of the rear instrument panel. When you walked up the wing walk there it was but I could remove it if I was so inclined.

That is a problem that most of the headset manufacturers ignore. (Sigtronics has a high-noise rejection mic.) The mic feeds that noise back into the intercom and nullifies a lot of what you wear a headset for. I have been trying to get headset manufacturers to specify their noise rejection but haven't gotten very far. -- 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

That is a problem that most of the headset manufacturers ignore. (Sigtronics has a high-noise rejection mic.) The mic feeds that noise back into the intercom and nullifies a lot of what you wear a headset for. I have been trying to get headset manufacturers to specify their noise rejection but haven't gotten very far. > > -- > > 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: Too much headset info
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Jim Ivey <jim@jimivey.com> Lightspeeds: As Brian has pointed out the earlier LightSPEED headsets had some design details that led to cracking of the stirrups and headbands. However, any headset from the XL series forward has had those items improved to stop the cracking. If you've ever talked to LightSPEED on the phone you will see that they are more than willing to repair or replace most any headset for you at no cost, despite the age or warranty status of the unit. Outstanding customer support. They will also give you the option of sending your unit in for them to do the repairs or if you so desire they will send you the improved parts so that you can do the repair in the field (I did this on the stirrups due to an upcoming trip timing). The reason I found not to use the LightSPEEDs in the CJ were due to their noise canceling circuitry. Especially the higher-dollar 25XL or 30. They try so hard to actively suppress the noise that you can start to get choppy feedback due to their sensitivity. I found this not to be the case with Denali ANRs, Telex Echelon ANR's, and Bose X. I also found that switching my CJ intercom out for a PM1000 high-noise version helped the problem. However, just like Brian, I use LightSPEEDs exclusively for the Piper Comanche because they really seem to be in their element there with unsurpassed comfort and stereo fidelity. Based on the different headsets I own I would rate them as follows (in order of preference): LightSPEEDs - Own 3. Best all-around headset but only seem to work in a CJ with high-noise ICS like PM1000 or Sigtronics. Uses two AA batteries (most common) Bose X - Access to 1. Wonderful all-around headsets that cost too damn much (their only real negative). The one I have access to is not mine so I don't use it much. These are something you would never leave in the cockpit and would always take home with you at night. Telex Echelon 150 ANR - Own 1. Great headset with ponderous separate battery box. Not as comfortable or quiet as the Lightspeeds but very functional in a CJ right out of the box. Rugged metal construction and seemingly high-quality components. Uses 9v transistor battery. I always use this one in the CJ. Flightcom Denali ANR - Own 2. The least amount of noise passive protection and a little floppy on the head. Seem adequate with electronics turned on. They also use a 9v transistor battery. Very light. Flightcom Denali Passive - Own 1. One step up from using a cabin speaker. No meaningful passive protection. Good to give away to somebody you don't like. I suppose if I needed a unit to install into a helmet (i.e. traditional construction with metal stirrups) I might investigate a Flightcom 5DX ANR or one of the David Clark models. Jim Ivey

As far as I know, all of the headsets are simple plug-in items. I don't know of any that require nonstandard wiring. One thing. My only experience with noise-cancelling sets is the Lightspeed, and some very brief Bose. Bose is excellent, but HEAVY! (and way too expensive). Haven't been able to try the new ones. The other guys are much better at making comparisons. I have had one friend borrow my Lightspeed for an open-cockpit check in a Skybolt--he returned them in a hurry--apparently that is too high a noise environment for them. Lee Taylor

    Subject: Re: NX
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Doug" <rvfltd@televar.com> This is a classic example of the problem, your fellow has interpreted the regs to mean that the word "experimental" in 2 inch letters can be anywhere. My FSDO claims that they MUST be on the outside just below the canopy rails. Since they had the magic ink pen that day, they of course were right. In my case the NX makes sense, because according to my FSDO the 2 inch letters are not required now.....anywhere. The guy just suggested it would be a good idea to place a small placard in the rear cockpit. This is a very good example of various FSDO's interpreting the regs differently. It would be interesting to send your guy a letter requesting their reading on the matter, in writing, and on their letter head. My money is on the bet that you would get a somewhat different answer, because he would consult with his supervisor before he put anything in writing. Different guy, different day, different answer.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jon Boede" <jon@email.net> 45.21-23 have so many ANDs and ORs in them that it gets to be a matter of interpreting which things go with which AND or OR and that's what seems to flumux the FSDO guys. It helps to take a yellow marker and group things the way YOU'd like to see them associated. In the end playing the "exhibition" card seems to work... as in, "If this airplane were in a war movie, you wouldn't want giant tail numbers on it" -- and being in a movie is one of the few things you can do (supposedly) with an experimental exhibition airplane. Note that the X in NX123AB is part of the MARKINGS OF THE AIRPLANE and not part of the registration... you'll get the "They stopped the X, C, L registration numbers a long time ago" bit, too. You answer, "I know... it's not part of the registration, it's part of the markings" -- and then whip out the FARs. In fact, keep them in your pants pockets under your flight suit so you can reach in while saying, "Pardon me while I whip this out". :-) Jon > --> Yak-List message posted by: "Ernie" <ernest.martinez@oracle.com> > > With regards to Small N numbers > http://www.warbirds-eaa.org/programs/smalln.html > > Apparently I didnt need to apply for it since both my airplanes are less > than 12,500 lbs. > > Ernie > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <eyeballs@cox.net> > To: <yak-list@matronics.com> > Subject: Yak-List: Registration > > >> --> Yak-List message posted by: <eyeballs@cox.net> >> >> The crux of this matter is in the line (b).

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jon Boede" <jon@email.net> If you're straight "experimental" that's one thing... if you're experimental exhibition then "for operation as an exhibition aircraft" applies to you and you don't need a waiver from the EAA or nuthin' -- but it is a really good idea to carry the FAR printed from their own web site and then take a yellow highlighter to it. Note the "OR"s in there... built 30 years ago *OR* under 21.191(d,g) exhibition *OR* 30 years ago. See how they can choose to confuse if they want to... but in the end there's only one way to read it since it says "OR" and if they try to group things so that you need to meet the 30-year requirement you can say "well what's this OR for then?"

    Subject: Re: Experimental
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Ron Davis" <l39parts@hotmail.com> The FAR requiring EXPERIMENTAL doesn't say it has to be outside. It says it has to be clearly visible to a person entering the plane. You can put it on the (left) rail inside, but it does have to be 2" high and have the width and stroke of the N number. IMHO, if you put on the rail you have to put it in both cockpits to make it clearly visible to the people entering the plane. The FAR doesn't say specifically say this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Lloyd" <brian@lloyd.com> Subject: Yak-List: Experimental > --> Yak-List message posted by: Brian Lloyd <brian@lloyd.com> > > owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com wrote: > > > --> Yak-List message posted by: > > > > From: Aubrey Price <aprice@vartec.net> > > To: "'yak-list@matronics.com'" <yak-list@matronics.com> > > Subject: RE: Yak-List: RE: N number and Experimental > > Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 10:11:12 -0500 > > > > My FSDO is like yours.

    Subject: Re: Registration
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Ron Davis" <l39parts@hotmail.com> There is no "straight experimental". All Experimental airworthiness certs have words appended: Amateur built, exhibition, racing, market research, crew training, R&D, etc. Look at a 3160 form for all of the possibilities. Really want to complicate your life? License the plane in two or more of these.
