Ladies and Gents,
A few of us are kicking around the idea of an RPA get together in Aiken
SC
(AIK) 5-7 Mar. I'll check on hotel rates,fuel, etc. if there are enough
people interested.
Aiken has one 5500 x 100 strip and another 3000 x 75, plenty of ramp and
parking space, very large brand new conference room and terminal to
stage
out of, and several fuel trucks.
Hotels and restaurants are almost on airport property, I'm sure the FBO
will
provide trans. There are a couple of good bars with pool tables within
10
mins.
Y'all let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Shane Golden

Gents,
Both George Coy and Doug Sapp are out of the rubber M-14 engine mount
replacement kits and I am in the middle of my annual needing new mounts.
Waaaaaaaah!
It could be a month or two before these fine gents obtain said kits.
Comprised of 16 rubber mount halves and the nuts and bolts.
Would any of you folks be sitting on a kit that you would exchange me
for a new one I will purchase when they get one in? Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks all.

I have a chronic transfer problem in the past. Recently it had become worse. I
know there has been a lot of discussion over venting , balanced flight ,etc...
I drained my fuel carefiully with the fuel caps open to eliminate venting problems.
When flow rate was low, fuel stayed balanced. As fuel rate increased
left fuel tank would not tranfer or had minimal transfer. I pulled the fuel
hoses from tank to fuselage and discovered left hose had a considerable obstruction
that only would occur as flow increased.. I could blow lightly through
the hose with no problem but if I blew hard, the flow would stop. It was caused
by rubber near the fitting that was peeled back during construction of the
hose. This obstruction was such that if you were to run the right tank dry,
I don't think the left tank would have provided enough fuel to sustain flight.
Hose was of unknown origin, probably russian rebuilt, but looked like a western
hose. To make a long story short, for those fuel transfer problems, check
the tank hoses.

Probably not a Russian rebuilt. More likely a hose assembled by a previous
owner who did not have the appropriate tools, or knowledge, for the job.
This is a fairly common problem. Without a precise fitting assembly mandrel
the end of the sleeve can cut a near perfect flapper valve from the interior
of the hose. In some cases (angled fittings) it is not possible to use a
mandrel. In ALL cases it is necessary to visually inspect the hose interior
after assembly.
Cheers;
Walt

Folks,
I just got a call from Kieth Harbour on this years Nebraska Fly-in. He is again
your highly motivated host at his FBO. The field is KOLU and the dates he suggested
are:

He will have an aerobatics box and we are looking forward to a formation clinic
as well as other activities.
Online registration and further information will posted on the web site.

Ok, looks like I have a least 12 people interested in coming to Aiken so
far. Hotel rates are 45.00 (Holiday Inn Express), we have use of a 15
passenger van, I'll also have my truck and tools there. The FBO will work
with us on the fuel, they have plenty of oil (Philips 25w60, Aeroshell
100/50 and 120/60) in stock. Ramp space is great, we have use of the
conference room, etc. There is a mechanic handy if needed. There is a
family restaurant a cross the road from the airport that serves
breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Several very nice bars with upstairs rooms
and pool tables downtown (10 mins). The airport manager, Beth North, is
checking with them to see if we can play CRUD. She will also take care of a
courtesy call to Augusta ATC to let them know we'll be in the area.
Please contact Beth North at 803-648-7803 to reserve a room. Do any of you
guys want an aerobatic box?
More later.

Folks,
Just wanted to let you all know about this site. If you have wanted to do
something for those serving overseas this is a good place to start. I have
hooked up with a guy that wants to get a cub or lunscombe when he gets back
stateside. I am suggesting to EAA that they support donate a membership
where we stateside members can donate a membership to someone serving
overseas that way they would get the mags etc etc. Please browse through the
site as the kids out there need as much from home as they can get. I was
looking through the site and it brought back memories to me of what it is
like to be deployed, it can really suck and be the best time of your life
all at the same time. I intend, of course to convert this guy to the dark
side of the force and get him to buy a Russian monster instead of a
lunscombe ;)

Whatever you feel about the war are the situation these guys and gals
deserve your support. I know that this is off topic but I think I know this
list and I think you will like to help out.

Yak (and Nanchang) friends .. .
Good news on the insurance side.
We had a meeting with the V.P. of AIG and their lead Underwriter Cody McCormick
regarding Warbird Insurance.
I made a convincing argument regarding insurance rates on our aircraft.
I gave them an example of my Yak 52 and the price the wanted.
They reviewed their program and SLASHED their prices on our class of aircraft.
The new rates from AIG are very competitive.
This is a great thing.
As an insurance broker and Yak owner, I'm very sensitive to our situation.
Contact me directly to discuss details.
In our research we think there maybe 500 Nanchang and Yaks "trainers" in the country.
This does not count the Yak 55, 54, or any of the Fighters that Yakovlev built.
(Yak 3, 7, 9, 11 etc)
I'm not aware of Nanchang ever making any "fighters". . Not sure why . . .
Ok I'm biased as a Yak 52 owner.
But we've made a good step forward on insurance for ALL our class of aircraft.
Keep in mind that not all brokers are aware of this change yet.
AIG won't make any changes "mid-term", . . in other words let your current policy
run out before making a change.
again. . please contact me directly for details.

Call me for pictures of the installation and what is needed for the ADC Oil

Would not fly without if you want your engine to run a long time and it could
