Thanks Jay Yes it will work but the emergency tank will stay filled only if the plumbing, check valve, and emergency air valve are in good repair. Otherwise you will have a slow leak so the N2 will eventually get replaced with air. I think that filling the emergency air tank with N2 is a good one but you still need to inspect the tank regularly.

    Subject: CJ Air Tanks
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jeff Linebaugh" <jefflinebaugh@earthlink.net> Good point Jay! I had never considered filling the air system with the main air valve closed.... have never had a reason to try that...didn't even think about it. So here is Version 2.0 of the Air Tank filling procedure I intend to use for my CJ: 1. Fill depleted Emergency Air tank with Nitrogen from external filler port with the Main Air Valve closed. 2. Reset the air regulator to a slightly lower value (1/4 turn should do it .) and re-safety wire it. This should preclude air being cycled into the emergency air bottle by the compressor. 3. Fill the Main Air Tank with air (again from the external filler port) 4. Go Fly! This procedure will leave N2 in the Emergency Air Tank, hopefully reducing the possibilities of corrosion, and giving me air for starting. Brian is right, we have gone round-n-round on air vs. N2 for starting....I could get my CJ started on N2, but I had to hold my mouth just right. With air, it was a no-brainer. The big point though is: if you haven't looked at your air tanks in the recent past, you may me sitting on hand grenades. Thanks again guys! Jeff Linebaugh jefflinebaugh@earthlink.net

I was aware of the flight-hour numbers but I was trying to get an idea of how long in calendar time it takes their training command to put that 1000 hours on an airframe. I was trying to get a feeling for whether they send the airplane back every year, two years, three years, etc. Lycoming and Continental are now applying both operating hours AND calendar time to TBO. I was trying to get a feeling for what amount of calendar time the Chinese expect between overhauls. It might make a difference to how we schedule inspections and some maintenance. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza brian@lloyd.com Suite 201 http://www.lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 (voice) +1.360.838.9669 (fax)

    Subject: Aileron Alignment and Rigging Problems
    From: "Dennis Von Ruden" <dvonruden@generalequip.com>
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Dennis Von Ruden" <dvonruden@generalequip.com> At the risk of sounding like a guy who does not know which end of the screwdriver to hold on to, we are having an alignment/rigging problem with the starboard aileron. Just finishing up a CJ restoration project. We inspected and recovered both ailerons. The port aileron aligns perfectly with the trailing edge of the wing. The starboard aileron droops down and has a wider gap between it and the wing. Probably 3/16 inch in the vertical and horizontal planes at the right wingtip. You can visually see the difference. It does not appear that we have the aileron attachment fitting (that bolts to the rear spar) up side down. The aileron is new with no damage. Both wing tips hit a bridge when the aircraft was being transported by railroad on the way from Long Beach. Yes, the wing tips were damaged (and replaced). But, there was no spar or aileron attachment fitting damage. My question is am I being too picky to expect both ailerons to perfectly align? Anyone ever have a similar problem with alignment? Thanks. Dennis Von Ruden dvonruden@generalequip.com
