The dresser tyres last 3 times as long as Russian tyres, Russians do not have carbon
in the rubber so are softer. run them to the canvas at your risk!! no more
than bald is best!!!
If you want Russian tyres I can supply in batches of 100 but the price will be
more than dresser once delivered to USA.
support dresser!!!

Desser (not dresser) also recaps tires, which as most everyone knows is
common practice amongst the airlines and military. I have had two sets of
Desser tires recapped and they seem to last even longer than their new
tires. They actually use a harder compound when recapping than with new
tires. And the best part is they are less than half the price of a new
tire! (About $120 for new 500x150 and about $55 to recap good cores).

Frank,
See my other post on the Desser recaps. You are 100% correct on the new
Desser tires, but the Russian tires are as bad or worse as far as wear is
concerned. Personally, I stick with the recaps and cycle two sets of cores.
As long as the cores are acceptable to Desser for recapping, I'll continue
to use them. Eventually though I will have to buy another set of new tires.
But when they wear out, you can count on me getting them recapped as well.

My experience is exactly opposite of yours. The Russian rubber didn't last
100 hours yet the Desser recaps are still there after 300+ hours. the
Russian cases are tough as nails - probably good for many recaps. The set
of new rubber Desser tires now on my 52 are 150 hours old and still showing
significant tread.

Dear Yakinators........
OK, I'm gonna complain a little. I've bought three sets of new tires for
my 52 in the last year. I've done maybe 120 hours flying in that time.
The tires are from Desser and they have got to be the softest compound
tires I've ever seen. OK, so the first set have worn prematurely due to
over aggressive braking, I'll grant that. But the two subsequent sets of
tires I've treated very gently yet they have also worn out way too fast.
I realize Desser is the EXCLUSIVE supplier of US made tires but they are
using way too soft a compound in the rubber for my liking. It's got to
be a planned obsolescence kind of thing.....they can get away with doing
it because nobody else supplies tires for our YAK-52's!
I've heard the Russian tires are tough as nails. "Run em' until the
cords start showing" I've been told! I'd like to get a couple of sets.
Anybody have a supplier?
By-the-way, Desser will re-cap your worn tires. They use a slightly
harder compound when they do it and the tire lasts longer but they are
still wayyyy too soft with a wayyyy too short a lifespan in my
estimation.
Original Russian tires anyone?

The best combination are Russian cores with Desser recaps. The Russian cores are
way tough but the Russian rubber wears terribly. I got three years service
(about 300 hours with +/- 300 hard surface T/Ls) with this combination. I got
only about 1/3 of that from the Russian rubber. Currently I'm using new Desser
tires. It appears I'll get about two years service from these tires.
The new Desser tires appear to be about 1 in. narrower than the Russian tires.
As a result, they're probably also lighter. I've noticed significantly more
vibration/shake/rattle especially in the T/L roll with the Desser tires than I
ever experienced with the Russian tires. Also, the tubes I purchased from Desser
were too low in the stems and useless. So the Russian tubes were reused
with the new Desser tires. I'm not sure if this was the best option. Although
the Russian tubes remained in almost new condition and fit way better in the
new Desser tires than did the Desser tubes, they were made for the Russian tires
that are a little wider. As a result, there may be some wrinkling in the
Russian tubes when fitted into the Desser tires. But almost two years later,
so far so good.

Sounds like you either have some sort of alignment/mechanical issues or landing
to fast and still heavy handed on the brakes. I had 175 hours on a set of Dessers
before I sold the 52 and they still were in great shape. I have around 100
hours on a set on my 50 and they hardly look worn.
3 sets in 120 hours? Something definitely wrong.

Dear Yakinators........
OK, I'm gonna complain a little. I've bought three sets of new tires for
my 52 in the last year. I've done maybe 120 hours flying in that time.
The tires are from Desser and they have got to be the softest compound
tires I've ever seen. OK, so the first set have worn prematurely due to
over aggressive braking, I'll grant that. But the two subsequent sets of
tires I've treated very gently yet they have also worn out way too fast.
I realize Desser is the EXCLUSIVE supplier of US made tires but they are
using way too soft a compound in the rubber for my liking. It's got to
be a planned obsolescence kind of thing.....they can get away with doing
it because nobody else supplies tires for our YAK-52's!
I've heard the Russian tires are tough as nails. "Run em' until the
cords start showing" I've been told! I'd like to get a couple of sets.
Anybody have a supplier?
By-the-way, Desser will re-cap your worn tires. They use a slightly
harder compound when they do it and the tire lasts longer but they are
still wayyyy too soft with a wayyyy too short a lifespan in my
estimation.
Original Russian tires anyone?

The motorcycle batteries will just take as much as they need. They should
work just fine. OTOH, if the alternator fails you won't have power for very
long.

The alternator regulator/controller from B&C has over voltage protection
built-in. It also has temperature compensation to prevent overcharging
during the summer and undercharging in the winter. This is a really useful
feature.

You really can't Hal. The current rating of the alternator is primarily
defined by the size wire used in the stator. A 100A stator probably won't
fit in the same housing. You might be able to squeeze a 70A stator into a
50A case if they make one. You would also need to install larger diodes.

Lopresti makes HID landing-light upgrades for spam cans. Do you have a
source for 28V HID lights?

Yes they have one....but they told me two weeks ago that they never
sell them...
I just installed the 35 amp alternator (28 volt) on my CJ6A 285hp. The
installation was easy. Directions they sent were good and easy to
understand. However, I did need to buy the an adapter plate from them
as my old adapter plate did not have a built -in oil seal that they
require for their alternators...
As a bonus, the solid-state regulator box also includes a provision to
run a "low voltage" annunciator light. This light is easily installed
in the cockpit and is set to illuminate when the bus is at or below
about 25 volts.
I mounted mine near the amp/voltmeter.

I've had this comment before from an owner that thought his big powerful
generator was going to blow up my (temporary) lawnmower batteries and burn
his jet to the ground.
Think about this way: The little 4 watt nightlight bulb in your bathroom is
plugged into a wilre that has several 1000 Megawatt power plants on the
other end. The nightlight only takes as much power as it needs. So will
your motorcycle batteries.

You all need to get some of those off road tires like mine. Dico ones they
work great and last FOREVER.....
Those of you that saw me at OSH will have seen them.

My experience is exactly opposite of yours. The Russian rubber didn't last
100 hours yet the Desser recaps are still there after 300+ hours. the
Russian cases are tough as nails - probably good for many recaps. The set
of new rubber Desser tires now on my 52 are 150 hours old and still showing
significant tread.

Dear Yakinators........
OK, I'm gonna complain a little. I've bought three sets of new tires for
my 52 in the last year. I've done maybe 120 hours flying in that time.
The tires are from Desser and they have got to be the softest compound
tires I've ever seen. OK, so the first set have worn prematurely due to
over aggressive braking, I'll grant that. But the two subsequent sets of
tires I've treated very gently yet they have also worn out way too fast.
I realize Desser is the EXCLUSIVE supplier of US made tires but they are
using way too soft a compound in the rubber for my liking. It's got to
be a planned obsolescence kind of thing.....they can get away with doing
it because nobody else supplies tires for our YAK-52's!
I've heard the Russian tires are tough as nails. "Run em' until the
cords start showing" I've been told! I'd like to get a couple of sets.
Anybody have a supplier?
By-the-way, Desser will re-cap your worn tires. They use a slightly
harder compound when they do it and the tire lasts longer but they are
still wayyyy too soft with a wayyyy too short a lifespan in my
estimation.
Original Russian tires anyone?

The Hawker Odyssey batteries are great. I have been using them for 5 years
now. They are Dry Cell batteries and can be mounted in any position other
than full inverted (why would you want to?) No vent, no spill, no hassle.
Always yakin,

According to one of their engineers, the only reason you can't mount them
inverted is because too many less-than-entirely-bright people were
mounting them like that and the battery would head towards gravity, always
(Murphy having such a sense of humor) with some metal object making itself
of use to short the two battery leads... so it's a customer service issue
not a technical reason that you can't mount them inverted.

I wonder why the battery states it should be charged at one to two amps on a
charger? What you say is true for a topped off battery but I don't think
your battery life will be long if you run it down for whatever reason and
hit it with 50 amps over and over.

I found out what you meant first hand this weekend while flying a a local
airshow. My L-29 has 2 new 650 CCA Die Hards which on a good day will start
me at around 690 Degrees EGT. While my buddy this weekend using the Hawkers
consistently started some where around 560 degrees. I'm sold, just waiting
for a battery box.

I too have seen Concordes fried by an L-39. We never did figure out exactly
what happened. We never did figure out what a $1200 battery was doing in
the plane either since the Albatros has an insignificant starting load of
106 amps that anything bigger than a lantern battery could handle.
You do perhaps need some reserve capacity in case the generator and the RAT
fail, but I think the real battery sizing criterion is how long the pilot
sits in the plane before starting the engine.
For serious starting loads like a MiG, PowerSonic makes some good batteries,
but takes two of their $120 batteries to put out 24 volts and 900 amps.
