More like -40C I would think :-)
Also bear in mind with import costs and hassle is the low USD rate right
now!! Really good time to import into SA considering we are at a 3 year
high - and nearly 50% of the cost of 18 months ago, too.

Hi Craig
Dogs/Cats...Are you saying the Bonanzas always chase the Mooneys?
Because they in front?
I will go read up on Bonanzas! And yes, good climb is important, we
have hot & high conditions here, with airport elevations of over 5000ft
and 30+ degree Centrigrade summer temps.
One day returning to home base the Yak felt really sluggish, it was
really bumpy as well, and difficult to maintain constant altitude.
After landing, on the ground at 5000ft I noted the temperature of 40C.
Don't think the russians expected that when putting the Yak together.

Jorgen,
"Bananas" was a somewhat snide reference to "Bonanzas". I
had hoped to provoke one or more CJ/Bonanza owner into
flexing his "Beechhood". It seems numerous CJ guys also have "Bananas".
Here in the USA, Bonanza owners are like dogs and Mooney drivers are
like cats in the high performance single world. My real point was that,
given the same payload and airspeed, the Bonanza offers similiar economy
but with greater comfort and perhaps "style"? If good climb is a
consideration from the airports you operate from, then perhaps a review
of performance parameters would help. Craig Payne

Hi.. probably and old topic, but I must ask anyway... A bit tired of
coming home sunburnt to hell, or covered with sticky sun-block, so
looking into the tinting options on the yak 52. Done some local
research, but everyone who does the 'smash and grab' tints for vehicle
protection reckon perspex is a no-no and the tint cracks and peels
quickly.
Anyone got any other options before going the expensive route of buying
tinted glass and refitting it? I believe there are some sprays and
things on the market?
Thanks

Two pilots die in trainer crash
TWO senior pilots of the Hungarian Air Force lost their lives last Thursday
morning when their aircraft crashed into a field in the vicinity of the
farming villages of Tiszaroff and Tiszagyenda in about 120km east of
Budapest. The experienced colonel and lieutenant had been flying a
Russian-type two-seater Yakovlev (Yak-52) single-engined trainer aircraft,
according to the Ministry of Defense (HM). Officials investigating the
tragic accident said that the aircraft (with a maximum speed of 300km/h) was
relatively new, acquired in 1993 for the air force training school in
Szolnok (100km east of Budapest). The Yak-52 is a common first plane to fly
for learner pilots. Although a Russian designed aircraft, mass production
was launched in Bacauba, Romania in 1979.
More than 500 aircraft were made and distributed to air forces of the former
Warsaw Pact.

The tinted glass doesn't even help that much. If you get enough tint to block
UV you end up with one seriously dark cockpit. The only consistent solutions
I have found are a hat or a helmet.

Recently, "Pappy" and I visited the restoration of the
Collings F4U and "supervised" the prop hanging. Next door
was a shop full of T-34's in for spar mod. They are using a
CNC milled patch to beef up the wing root but the problem
they encountered was that some of the spars were "work
hardened" and tend to crack when the patch was installed
with torqued bolts and high-strength rivets.
Good looking fix, lasts for 7500 hrs before re-inspection.
Me, I'll keep my CJ.

We have found that the automotive style "peel and
stick" style sun shields work great. Baby supply
stores sell them so that you can position them on car
door windows to protect infants.Usually @8 inch by
12inch. You may also be able to find them at a
department store or auto parts store. Made out of some
sort of mylar I think, seems to use static electricity
to stick, there is no messy adhesive on it.
Slap one up on the inside of your canopy and see if
that works for you. As a bonus you can move it around
as needed.

If the CJ-6A is as much a Petrel as a T6 is a Texan or P51 a Mustang, etc., etc.,
why don't we use that as our aircraft type in the call sign? Sure it is a
matter of choice, but ever get a controller to understand "Nanchang" on the first
try? And we need not start the "just call yourself a Yak" arguement.
Another way at it might be the Chinese word for Petrel. It may sound more warbirdish
and be easy to understand over the radio. Anyone no what Petrel is in
Mandirin or Hokien or Cantonese or any of the other provincial dialects?

Hey Stuart
I have a pretty little pink umbrella that my daughter doesn't use anymore.
Maybe you can rig it and it can double up as a sight gauge? After flight
you can hang it upside down under the cowl to catch all the oil. Should
just hook straight on. Airwear will do a matching flight suit.
Seriously, on the issue of flight gauges, I am getting a guy at FAWB to
reverse engineer my sight gauge and build one for Findlay. Mine was built
some time back as a one-off. There may be some ecomony of scale if you also
want one? And Gary?

This is an energy fight. In the hands of equally competent pilots and
all other things being equal (no mistakes by either pilot, etc.), the
plane that can sustain the E longer will win. I'll let you figure out
the rest...
Sounds like, Frank, you should join us in the desert in Feb!

I concur with Brian. My CJ has significantly tinted US glass. There's no
noticable benefit, and often in formation wingmen have difficulty seeing my hand

My 2 Cents worth,
Having flown both clear and tinted I would have to agree that the tinted is
not a cure for stopping the loss of hide during a long flight. However I do
believe that the tinted glass lessens this to some small and most likely
immeasurable degree. I have had this discussion many times with the owner
of Gee Bee Canopies who makes the canopies for the Glassairs, Glasstars, and
also my CJ6A canopies (all with the same "std." tint). He tells me that
originally the main reason for the tinted canopies was to reduce heat in the
cockpit, to lessen the effects of the sun's UV on the pilot and his gear,
and to minimize the eye strain on the part of the pilot. All good reasons
for installing tinted when the time comes. Those of us (and I include
myself here) that are becoming "more mature" do have our problems looking
thru our canopy glare and into leads canopy (with it's glare) and correctly
reading the hand signals. I almost hesitate to suggest it since I'm new to
formation flying, but wouldn't a bright colored glove help in this
department, especially with us newbies, who are scared spitless that we will
miss a hand signal? Several times, All I have seen is a bit of movement in
a green on green environment. To simple of a fix?
Always yakin,
Doug

Folks, (this is for US and World Wide members of the RPA)
I'm often updating the home page of our website www.yakpilots.org as we finish the new site. If you are a member, please select the link concerning a "Call for Volunteers" on the home page and take the time to read a listing of volunteer positions.
The time involved is small, some of the items really tap in to your creative side,
and all result in the knowledge that you are helping the RPA help the members
while moving it toward a leading role on the General/Warbird Aviation scene.
Volunteers in selected positions pay no event fee when attending one of our
clinics/fly-ins and are provided the RPA Volunteer gear (kinda looks like those
FBI or DEA shirt logos).
And because many of these functions are completely web/electronic based, you do
not have to be a U.S. member to volunteer, in fact we have a direct need for
member involvement in the UK/EUR/RUS/CHI/NZ/AUS and other nations. I would, as
would all our US membership, like to see nothing more to than to have our members
from Europe, New Zealand or England taking an active role in the association
(Web Management/Articles/The Newsletter/Recruiting). Perhaps taking a leadership
role towards building on the RPA infrastructure (Fly-Ins/Clinics/Conventions/Local
Squadron groups, etc.) in these nations as well.
If you enjoy and work with computers, software, the web, digital art, writing articles,
setting up events, or don't mind sending occasional packages to the post
office, the Association will be a better organization with your active involvement
in 2004.
http://www.yakpilots.org/Call%20for%20volunteers.htm
Thanks for listening, and we would like to thank all those who have donated to
your new website and renewed their RPA membership for 2004.

Doug,
My family is 1 day away from joining the Yak community, our plane should
arrive at Gesoco tomorrow for assembly.
I would like to comment on your bright glove idea. I have been a road racer
in formula cars for over 20 years and if you look at the safety equipment
worn by drivers in open cockpit road racing cars you will notice that almost
all wear a very bright signal orange glove. The reason is exactly as you
say, so hand signals can be easily seen by the other drivers and corner
workers. All of the corner safety workers wear bright orange gloves so the
hand signals can be easily seen by the drivers. I think your suggestion is
an excellent one that has already been proven effective in an arena that is
very similar to formation flying. I would strongly suggest the community
take your suggestion under serious consideration.
Best regards,
Bill Mack

Beech has had recurring problems with spars. Look at the next D-18 you come
across and you'll likely see a strap below the wing to reinforce the spar.
King-Airs have spar problems, and of course T-34. Beech has been very
sucessful, they sell lots of expensive planes, and are very popular and
highly regarded in spite of a longstanding major defect in their products.
I guess this makes Beech the Microsoft of aviation.

Dear Listers,
First, I would like to thank everyone that has so graciously already made a
Contribution to support the Email Lists this year!! Thank you!
That being said, I'm hoping that everyone else is just waiting until the
last minute to make their Contribution... The percentage of List members
making a Contribution is well below last year at this time. Was it
something I said...? :-)
There's only a few more days left in this year's Fund Raiser; please help
support the continued operation and upgrade of these Lists by making a
Contribution today.
You might look at it this way; surly the Lists are as entertaining as a
typical magazine subscription - maybe more so because you can actually make
your personal opinion known as well as ask questions of the "experts"! A
year's subscription to Kitplanes, for example, is $30 -- and you only get
it once a month! You can get nuggets of goodness from the List almost
every day as well as on-line search 14 year's of Archives! Your Lists
subscription is certainly worth a similar amount, isn't it?! :-)
Won't you please make your Contribution today!

Hey Stuart
I have a pretty little pink umbrella that my daughter doesn't use
anymore. Maybe you can rig it and it can double up as a sight gauge?
After flight you can hang it upside down under the cowl to catch all the
oil. Should just hook straight on. Airwear will do a matching flight
suit.
Seriously, on the issue of flight gauges, I am getting a guy at FAWB to
reverse engineer my sight gauge and build one for Findlay. Mine was
built some time back as a one-off. There may be some ecomony of scale
if you also want one? And Gary?

We have found that the automotive style "peel and
stick" style sun shields work great. Baby supply
stores sell them so that you can position them on car
door windows to protect infants.Usually @8 inch by
12inch. You may also be able to find them at a
department store or auto parts store. Made out of some
sort of mylar I think, seems to use static electricity
to stick, there is no messy adhesive on it.
Slap one up on the inside of your canopy and see if
that works for you. As a bonus you can move it around
as needed.

Thanks to all for the comments re the tinted perspex. I have
incidentally found some other product which is apparantly totally clear,
and yet is 100% effective in cutting out UV rays. Sounds too good to be
true... but I'll be looking into it anyway.
Thanks
Stuart

My 2 Cents worth,
Having flown both clear and tinted I would have to agree that the tinted
is not a cure for stopping the loss of hide during a long flight.
However I do believe that the tinted glass lessens this to some small
and most likely immeasurable degree. I have had this discussion many
times with the owner of Gee Bee Canopies who makes the canopies for the
Glassairs, Glasstars, and also my CJ6A canopies (all with the same
"std." tint). He tells me that originally the main reason for the
tinted canopies was to reduce heat in the cockpit, to lessen the effects
of the sun's UV on the pilot and his gear, and to minimize the eye
strain on the part of the pilot. All good reasons for installing tinted
when the time comes. Those of us (and I include myself here) that are
becoming "more mature" do have our problems looking thru our canopy
glare and into leads canopy (with it's glare) and correctly reading the
hand signals. I almost hesitate to suggest it since I'm new to
formation flying, but wouldn't a bright colored glove help in this
department, especially with us newbies, who are scared spitless that we
will miss a hand signal? Several times, All I have seen is a bit of
movement in a green on green environment. To simple of a fix?
Always yakin,
Doug

I concur with Brian. My CJ has significantly tinted US glass. There's
no
noticable benefit, and often in formation wingmen have difficulty seeing
my hand
signals, particularly if the sun is in the wrong location. Save your
money.
