    --> Yak-List message posted by: "A. Dennis Savarese" <adsavar@gte.net> Yes, you can certainly do that. But when you tap the hole, you have the potential of inducing metal shavings into the pneumatic system. Also each time you remove and reinstall the fitting on the plane you have the same potential of putting very fine metal shavings into the line that you may not necessarily be able to remove. Each time you externally pressurize the system, you'll force those metal shavings into the check valve on the fire wall. If you're lucky enough to have the shavings pass through the check valve and into the air filter, that's terrific. But the potential to force metal shavings into the pneumatic system is fairly high. BTW, wasn't that what happened to one of our posters? ie: drilling/taping the hole behind the rubber seal? I install Schrader valves on the outside cover of every airplane I deliver. My personal airplane has had one on it for 7+ years and all have worked perfectly.

    Subject: Re: Fitting to air up a YAK52
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "David Stroud" <davestroud@rogers.com> Could someone please take a minute and suggest how best to install an aux air supply fitting to the main valve of the air tank bottle. I was away for the weekend and probably have missed some posts and apologize for that. I have seen references in earlier posts to Aircraft Spruce pn. 4361S ( strut valve ) and also pn SK2043-5 (gooseneck hose coupling) and also the "Shrader valve". I'm just a bit confused with the need for tapping, etc. I thought the strut valve got permanently installed on the main air tank valve neck and the gooseneck fitting attached to a hose on the aux air supply. The gooseneck fitting gets attached to the strut valve and in goes the aux air. When or why is the extra shrader valve needed, please? I know I'm missing something here. Thank you.

Bushed. I had radio problems with my CJ and was just getting over a bad cold, so I went out the easy way. Anyway I had very good time out there. It was nice to see old friends, meet some new ones, and fly. I got to fly some really nice airplanes as IIB ("instructor in back") to FNGs. We have some good talent coming up. What was really great was seeing some 30+ CJ-6s and 20 or so Yaks. There was a bunch of Yak-50 there this time as well as TWs. Interesting was Drew's Yak-50 Serial Number 1. It had been built with flush riveted wings and had less than 100 hours on it when Drew got it. At one point there were 4 Yak-11s, 2 L-29s, 2 L-39s, 1 Yak-9, 1 Mig-17 & Mig-21. Let me tell you there is nothing like watching Mig-21 crossing your 6 o-clock! Lots of CJ-6s there with the new "Malcolm" hood that Bill Blackwell will swear will get you "5kts". ;-} I had not seen one before and didn't find it objectionable. It gives the "vertically challenged" pilots a lot more head room and allows the seat to move up to the top of its adjustment for a better view on landing and still wear a helment. Also saw a number of CJs with the new large fuel bladder tanks. These add a little over 10 to 11 gals per side, without extensive wing work. I was the formation judge and got to present the trophy to the "Bay Bombers". They beat the "Vagra" pilots alias "Big Dicks" by just 21 points. The "Big Dicks" "Showmanship" part of their routine was to immolate the Thunderbirds startup. I give them 200 points but docked them 75 for "sloppiness". The "Bay Bombers" pulled a diamond brake for the landing which was almost perfect except for spacing on the final. The "Big Dick" guys did a fan brake, that was a little ragged but had perfect spacing though the approach and touch down. A lot of work went into this by Barry, Drew, Amy, "Postal" and a bunch of instant volunteers. The Discovery channel was there and the event will be on the first show of the new season, in a few months. Well done Barry. Very well done.

    Subject: Re: home from All RedStar
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "DaBear" <dabear@damned.org> I'm sure I'm not alone in sitting at home this past week and wishing I was at ARS. Sure is difficult to go to work each day, knowing friends and potential friends are out on the west coast having a great time. So I'd like to fling insults to all those who went to ARS, but I can't. :-) I'm sure initial reports like this are just the tip of the iceberg and that everyone had a great time. I'm looking forward to hearing more about it over the next few days and when I see folks at future clinics. Congrats to Barry and all the rest who worked really hard to get this done. Clearly ARS's success for the 3 strait time is an indication of the fun that people had so pilots keep coming back and drag more to the ARS each time. Take a well deserved rest, open a cold one, and smile knowing you did a job well done.

There is a little valley in between the runways at Andrews so it actually didn't touch, but it was a very close call. Airplane and pilot are ok. Both need a little cleaning in certain places.

I know several of you have done this in the past and I need some advise. What I need to know is what type of hose you used i.e.. brand name or part number and what size did you use? I.D. an O.D.

    Subject: Gear width measurement needed
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Doug Sapp" <rvfltd@televar.com> Kendal, A CJ6 is 112 inches center to center on the wheels and 11 feet, 3 inches wide side to side. Highway width regs differ state to state and will determine rather or not you will need a pilot car or not. Here in WA we have to have a pilot car, or tip it up on edge. Check your regs if you are moving it through several states, it could be real embarrassing (and expensive) to get caught mid move by a over zealous state trooper with a tape measure and have to rent a crane and repack it. Good luck, feel free to contact me if you need further help.

Can someone please tell me the width of the gear; both center-to-center of the tires and the space between the innermost parts? Thanks.

    Subject: Gear width measurement needed
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Kendel McCarley <kmmccarley@earthlink.net> Thanks. Any idea what inside to inside gear clearance is? Things have to sit between the gear (like the rails of the trailer). Looks like all the states I'll be hitting require a pilot car at twelve feet width.
