    Subject: Re: Scale Models
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Kevin Pilling" <kjpilling@btclick.com> I had my model '52 made in the Philippines too.........its a terrific and faithful representation of my own airplane save for one 'little' error.....vis-a-vis....the left gear is folded back as in a normal '52 and the right gear is folded forward as in a normal '50 !or '52TW. I guess the modeller was hedging his bets, safe in the assumption that at least 50% was correct.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: cpayne@joimail.com More on the subject of Avionics rumors: I have also heard that the Microair radio is being dropped by some American distributors due to the long turn-around time for repair and resulting angry customers. Any truth in this tale? Craig Payne

    Subject: Re: More Rumors
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "A. Dennis Savarese" <adsavar@gte.net> Sounds very logical Craig. I had to have my Microair transponder repaired/replaced (under warranty) and although they cross shipped a replacement, the airplane was still down for over a week. I must give them credit though, they were very sensitive to the situation and thus the cross ship. What they really need is a US repair center. The managing director assured me they are working on that problem because they know it is having a major impact on sales in the US. The next thing they need to do is get their VHF working on 24/28V instead of only 14V which requires adding a 28 to 12 volt voltage converter. The transponder does work on 28V.

    Matronics... --> Yak-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com> Dear Listers, Pacbell is suppose to be working the Matronics connectivity issue this morning. Intermittent connectivity is still a issue although things are better than yesterday. They will probably be doing some intrusive testing on the line later today which will disrupt connections during the test. More information as it becomes available! Thanks for your patience.

    Subject: Cyl temps and fuel flow (EDM-700 9c)
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Robert Mortara" <rob@robinhill.com> Phil and I just installed a edm-700 9c in our CJ. I have found # 3 cyl is the hottest with # 6 close behind. The other cyls read 35-40 deg cooler. If the factory gauge reads 150 c the Jpi shows 365 cyl temp and with the factory gauge at 175 # 3 jumps to 420. In other engine applications I always try to keep the hottest temp lower than 400 should I continue doing so with this engine? Also note the temp probes are on the spark plugs which seem to read 10-20 deg higher. Some questions for the group? How do I identify # 3 cyl or other cyls on the engine? Could some baffling be missing? Has any on else checked the individual temps and found the same data? As for leaning I have found the engine burns 4-5 gals per hr while taxiing with the lean mixture 1/2 way. The cj will taxi fine (warm engine) 2.8 to 3.4 gph which I think its better for the plugs and valves. On take off I see 30 to 31 GPH fuel flow now I know why to pull the mixture back after several 100 ft. The engine also has relatively even fuel/cyl with only 100 degrees EGT spread per cyl. Also in cruse 2000 rpm and 650 on the manifold the jpi lean function can get slightly below 13 gph at appx 20 deg lean of peak. Has any one ran their engine lean of peak for extended time? It appears that more efficent fuel management could significantly improve the CJ range with out extended tanks. I also have the data logging function if any one is interested in seeing some actual data. Phil and I plan on doing some additionl lean testing at different altitudes and throttle settings and share that data rob
