Having actually met Mark in the UK earlier this year, I can concur :-)
Actually, other than being contentious, he can be a load of fun -
particularly behind the stick!

If you spent just five minutes with Mark you would see that other
remarkable British trait, the ability to both understand and produce
sarcasm. His mail was a very good example of this with the smiley face
added for those unable to spot the obvious intent.

Fellows:
Go easy on Mark and his comments on CJ's.
Its a British cultural thing that reflects a deep seated insecurity in
dealing with people who don't respect or understand the restrictions of
the rigid class/authority system that they were taught to fear when
young (ie like "fearing" God). They know intellectually that their
tendency to bow to authority in all circumstances is crazy, so the only
defense they have is to insult anybody who suggests they're wrong.
I would bet $50 that Mark is an exceptionally accommodating and polite
guy in person, that's the flip side of the same issue. Outside of his
own culture he makes himself look like a bit of an idiot.
I'm sure there are many on the Yak List who would argue his points and
even from the reference of UK operations verses the relative freedom we
have in the Colonies. Don't allow him the pleasure of his troll
remarks, leave them lie.
And in reality I believe him to be quite tongue-in-cheek observing the
emoticons at the end of each post.

On the subject of Round (2-1/2") Radios, such as the Becker
4201, I notice that Aircraft Spruce sells an "XCOM 760"
radio which fits the 2-1/2" hole, monitors a 2nd frequency
just like the Apollo, and can be dialed down into the Nav
frequency range...all for a bargain price. Anyone familiar
with this radio? Seems like only Spruce carries it.
My poor old-fashioned CJ did not come with a modern Russian
radio and I need a second com to go with my King radio. Just
received a PMA4000 intercom/audio panel that will do the
switching work.

second frequency. It's VERY nice when flying form in
the ATC environment. Next time I'm shopping for a
radio this and 20+ preset freqs will be two of my

I've got a MicroAir 760 in my E-3. I've been very
happy with it and with the austrailian parent company.
I had to send it back to them for a repair after it
was well out of warranty. I had diagnosed the problem
stateside and they decided it shouldn't have happened
at any time and sent me a replacement radio free of
charge without making me wait for them to see the
original unit first.
Some would say that having trouble with it in the
first place indicates a problem but I disagree. We
all are accustomed to very high quality and desire
that we experience no trouble with our electronics.
But I believe that all things mechanical and
electrical will eventually fail so the company behind
them matters. Beckers are easier to get serviced in
the US, no doubt. MicroAir is working to get repair
facilities up and running here but they don't have 'em
yet.
I was very pleased with the integrity of the folks
back at MicroAir HQ and am happy to report that they
stood behind their product when they could have easily
hidden behind the "out of warranty" shield. Haven't
had any trouble with the unit since.

Looks like an excellent alternative Craig. Was just on their web site,
http://www.mcp.com.au/xcom760/build1509/main-page.html, and unfortunately
the radio is not shipping until Q1-2004. I'm seriously going to consider
installing one because of the standby freq. monitoring feature you mentioned
plus the built in voice activated intercom. I just wish it were 24/28V so
we don't have to install another voltage converter.

One of the hardest flying tasks that I've discovered
is changing frequencies while bouncing around. So
what I want to see in a radio is voice recognition.
Shouldn't be too major of a task, we have a very
limited vocabulary and good mics. Imagine reading
back the next frequency to ATC and then having
the freq appear in the stand-by.
The SL line of radios are very nice. The only problem
I've had is on a very congested tower freq (ADS), the
standard 10W radios won out to the SL's 8W.
On the monitor a second freq, I use that all the time
for ATIS/AWOS/121.5. Very nice! Occasionally when
ATC is really congested and I really need ATIS, I still
have to bring up the second COMM, but the majority of
the time, monitor is good enough.
Happy Holidays!

I have never found frequency presets to be of particular use since ATC has a habit
of changing them. Selecting a frequency from a preset is not that much easier
than just dialing the new frequency into the radio. I have had a couple
of radios with this feature and I just quit trying to use it.
However, the second-frequency-monitor function is a godsend.

Folks,
Although I don't promote music over the more import chatter of ATC and
traffic, there are times when it's made a long dull straight and level on a
seat pack more bearable:
The PS Engineering CD player/Audio panel worked well with some skipping
under G load, MP3 would be better:
Anyone know of a comm/audio panel or other solution w/MP3 mic input port?

Drew,
The PMA4000 from PS Engineering fits the bill with up to 4
unswitched inputs (+ the 4 switched), including music which
has selectable muting... Music Off for pilot when receiving
(or on) or On for passengers, Ie: no ATC. Handles up to 4
passengers. Before anybody complains that the CJ-6 only
holds 2, has anyone seen Hal's baggage bay in "8".
My Hard Earned (pension) dollars are going into the PMA4000
intercom/audio panel, and one of those new XCOMs for COM2.
Avionics industry rumor has it that Aircraft Spruce
purchased the company.
For you MooneyChang guys, the Filser line of German radios
also fit 2-1/2" holes and allow up to a 4-char alpha tag
with saved frequencies.

Do you know if Aircraft Spruce has the XCOM radios in stock? The reason I
ask is because the XCOM web site says deliveries in Q1-2004.

Dear Listers,
Starting at about 1:05pm PDT Matronics starting having intermittent
connectivity issues to the Internet. I've called the ISP and they are
looking into the problem and may do intrusive testing on the line at some
point this afternoon/evening. For the most part, things seem to be working
right now, but the line will drop out every once in a while for 2 to 3 minutes.
This problem will effect connections to the Matronics Web server as well as
distribution of List mail.
I will post a follow up when the problem has been resolved... Hopefully
later today.

While somewhat "off subject" for this list, most seem at least somewhat
patriotic so here goes: many of us have spare miles in our frequent flyer accounts.
These can be easily donated to help a military person get home while on
leave, especially important for many hardship cases.
"About Operation Hero Miles
In September 2003, the Pentagon started giving soldiers stationed in Iraq
two-week leaves in the largest R & R program since the Vietnam War. Soldiers on
R
& R or Emergency Leave are flown by the military to Germany or three airports

The soldiers have been responsible for flights the rest of the way in the
U.S. to their destinations, until Congress provided funding for this purpose on
November 3, 2003. However, this funding is not yet available and may not be
sufficient for all the troops or troops on "Emergency Leave"."

I built a 1/72nd Yak52 last night, turned out very nice, but it's awfully
small. Does anyone know where I might obtain any other kits of the 52 in
other scale? Also I hope all have a wonderful and safe holiday.

Great idea I am going to get Goldman Sachs to provide a method of employee
donation.
Nice one

While somewhat "off subject" for this list, most seem at least somewhat
patriotic so here goes: many of us have spare miles in our frequent flyer
accounts.
These can be easily donated to help a military person get home while on
leave, especially important for many hardship cases.
"About Operation Hero Miles
In September 2003, the Pentagon started giving soldiers stationed in Iraq
two-week leaves in the largest R & R program since the Vietnam War. Soldiers
on R
& R or Emergency Leave are flown by the military to Germany or three
airports
in the United States, Baltimore/Washington, (BWI), Dallas/FortWorth, (DFW),
or Atlanta, (ATL ) for free.
The soldiers have been responsible for flights the rest of the way in the
U.S. to their destinations, until Congress provided funding for this purpose
on
November 3, 2003. However, this funding is not yet available and may not be
sufficient for all the troops or troops on "Emergency Leave"."

Copy of a Yak-18A, no; direct descendant, yes. Both
the 52 and the CJ can trace their genealogy back to
the Yak-18 series. I agree it is not a copy, but to
profess it is a completely original design is a
fallacy.
Now on to the real argument; which one is the
red-headed stepchild :-)

There is a link to Russin manufactured YAK-52 desktop models. They are
well made, reasonably priced and decently sized.
