That sounds like fatigue failure of the fabric at the edge. I have seen that on
other aircraft too but the paint fails there first letting you know you are
looking at a problem. Are you saying that the fabric fails before the paint does?
I have never seen that before.

You have to do something to go/no-go test the fabric surfaces. That means a punch
test every year during annual condition inspection regardless of type of fabric.
OTOH I would want to know the origins of the original fabric.
I favor dacron fabric, e.g. Stitts or Ceconite, myself.
> I don't know what the total fix is short of metalizing,
Balance and potentially exciting flutter with the added mass on the control surfaces
then become the overriding problems, especially for people operating at
the high-speed end of the envelope. I am sticking with fabric myself.
> Missed you at ARS, heard you were in the country?
I was actually quite nearby in San Diego for my daughter's college graduation on
Friday. I had planned to drop in late Saturday or early Sunday but was traveling
with my parents in the plane and didn't want to rush them on our trip. I
flew past Castle on Sunday eve but didn't figure anyone would still be there.
Now I am sitting in Chattanooga, TN, staring at the Weather Channel and a bunch
of RADAR windows on my laptop, trying to decide if I want to take off to take
a peek on the leg to DC or sit here and wait. There are two kinds of weather
I won't tempt: ice and CBs.

There is a time to laud one's country and a time to protest.

Jim,
Do you still have the original Russian helmet connectors in the airplane?

No
Most of the Engines have been changed by now, but on the Data Plate you will
have a -6 then a Chinese Symbol,which means it's a 6A Engine the later
Engine, or you can open up one of the upper rocker covers and see if it has
oil Lubrication in it.

Not necessarily, it may have been modified by the Chinese military. The
cowling mod has a semi-circular air intake with a 1/16" mesh screen
(approx.) extending to about 4" from the forward edge of the cowl. The
original intake is much further aft on the cowl and provides little, if any,
ram effect
In addition the air filter? (cheese grater!) is changed to a larger unit
with sloped sides compared to the 260 system with straight sides.

Have not seen any Yak 52 fabric work so can't comment on that. The Chinese
product lacks sufficient (if any) UV protection and does not use reinforcing
fabric tape over the metal edges.
Ceconite 102 or Stits medium (same product from same mill) are stronger than
cotton, not affected by rot due to moisture but are equally or more effected
by deterioration from UV.
I have personally seen good cotton installations last for 25 years. A
properly done Ceconite or Stits job could have an indefinite life. Some of
the factors that determine that are;
1. Structure - Absolutely free of corrosion and protected by a good fluid
resistant primer (eg: Courtalds Super Koropon)
2. Fabric installation tight. Loose fabric adds to other problems leading to
cracking of finish at metal edges.
3. Fabric well attached to structure with nitrate cement. Good rib stitching
with each stitch locked.
4. Fabric reinforcing tape at all metal edges.
5. Adequate covering of aluminium UV barrier.
6. CRITICAL - Final finish with Poly Urethane or other non-dope type finish
must have adequate flex agents added If not eventual cracking and failure
is guaranteed no matter what fabric is used.

My YAK-52 had new brakes recently put on. They seemed ok for the first few flights
but recently have been fading badly. After a short taxi to the active I was
unable to do the run up past 60%. Any thoughts??

Steve,
You may have a problem with your brake reducing valve. It is under the
floor on the right side in the rear cockpit. It's purpose in life is to
reduce the brake pressure by 8 to 1. Thus if you have 750 PSI in your main
air tank, when you squeeze the brake handle the air pressure at the wheel
should be just under 100 PSI. You can check this fairly easily by removing
a brake line from the back side of the drum and connecting a pressure gauge.
Squeeze the brake and see what you get.
The other thing that happens quite frequently when new brake pads are
installed is they heat up fairly quickly because they are very tight against
the drum even without the brake handle compressed. Spin the wheel and if it
does not rotate freely, most likely the brakes are heating up as you roll
down the taxiway.
Dennis

At 3500, not sure if it were higher I would suggest the diaphragm in the
carb. If your engine is running lean anyway then maybe not.

I am a partner in a Yak-52. It's been a great machine.
I was looking for info regarding the Yak engine "cutting out" for 1-2
seconds.
Has anyone ever noticed anything like this? Has it happened consistently
with your aircraft? I had this happen right after lift off, once, and
another had it happen at 3500 feet in cruise.
This has happened a few times, and we are beginning to suspect the
carburetor however, we haven't gotten a clear indication yet.
Thoughts?
Regards,
Ross

I had a friend with exactly the same problem. Turned out to be a
sticking valve. It would hang up for a few seconds. Sounded like the engine
had major problems but was just one valve. We suspected it because it
sounded like another ac whose exhaust valve was totally hung up and very
easy to find. He took the exhaust springs off one by one and felt how hard
the valve moved. One seemed stiffer and binding. Problem did not come back
after a new guide.

Pardon the dumb questions but...
My CJ's main tires have gone from reasonable tread to nearly smooth in
only about 20 hours flying time.
( aprox 2 landings per flying hour) . Are the tires due for replacement
when smooth ( as American tires ) or is there any wear indicators or ????
Also, is it possible to jack one main only without a wing jack ? If so
what's the best jack location?
thanks in advance ,
Walt

And for those of you who were waiting in breathless anticipation, sorry. I cheated
death once again. In fact, it was the best day of flying so far with 50
kt tailwinds and smooth-as-glass flying with unlimited vis. OK, I chose to fly
about 5 minutes of IFR during let-down in the DC area but that was it and Potomac
Approach even suggested it as an alternative to a spiral descent to get
under some developing clag on my letdown.
ATC in DC has gotten really nice and helpful. I guess the controllers figure we
have enough to deal with from the Transportation Stupidity Administration (TSA)
and don't need more from them. On this trip both Center and approach have
actively (and without solicitation) pointed out precip and suggested appropriate
deviation, something I have never experienced before. ATC has always been
neutral to mildly helpful (with the exception of NorCal approach when I was commuting
where they knew me and went out of their way to be helpful) but now are
actively working to make my VFR flight more pleasant. I think I need to write
some attaboys to a couple of centers and tracons.

What sort of material are you using for the valve guides and are you
annealing the head after the install. I have pulled the cylinders off my 52
and found 60% of the exhaust valve guides are in need of replacement we are
looking at using manganese-bronze .
Any thoughts or experiences would be great

I had a friend with exactly the same problem. Turned out to be a
sticking valve. It would hang up for a few seconds. Sounded like the engine
had major problems but was just one valve. We suspected it because it
sounded like another ac whose exhaust valve was totally hung up and very
easy to find. He took the exhaust springs off one by one and felt how hard
the valve moved. One seemed stiffer and binding. Problem did not come back
after a new guide.

Pardon the dumb questions but...
My CJ's main tires have gone from reasonable tread to nearly smooth in
only about 20 hours flying time.
( aprox 2 landings per flying hour) . Are the tires due for replacement
when smooth ( as American tires ) or is there any wear indicators or ????
Also, is it possible to jack one main only without a wing jack ? If so
what's the best jack location?
thanks in advance ,
Walt

From my experience, the UV protection is suspect. I
had the finishing tapes deteriorate and the inner most
right elevator rib stitching fail (the stitching
thread is weak as well). I stripped the paint,
removed the finishing tape and re-stitched after
determining the base Russian cotton was fine. I
rejuvenated the elevators and re-silvered. All is
well for the time being. I did fly for a year or so
without paint on the control surfaces with the Russian
silver exposed (hangared). I would have to say the
silver was a very thin application.
Be safe,
Z

Ron, I have had a few incidents with sticking exhaust valves and it clearly
has been a case of lead fouling. Considering the amazing amount of lead in
our NOT REALLY 100 octane LOW LEAD fuel, I guess it should be no surprise.
That said, I have heard rumblings of all sorts of answers to this such as
running the engine with higher RPM, or... hotter cyl. head temps., and/or
adding Marvel Mystery Oil, to running auto fuel.
I've experimented with every piece of advice, but have no clear "this
worked" and "this did not" synopsis. However, I will say that when I ran 93
octane auto fuel, the engine seemed to run cooler and smoother. No joke. I
ran various "blends" of 100LL to auto-fuel and never could figure out just
what was best, let alone legal.
All that said, I am opening Pandora's Box and asking everyone.... what is
your opinion?
Thanks for any and all answers or advice, or . ??

p.s. It's also important to know that I have an early generation M-14P 360
HP model, and my cylinder heads actually have LESS cooling fins (number &
size) than later models.

I never ran into a problem with my Huosai engine but then I ran it on auto fuel
or on 80/87 at my home field. OTOH I have lived with a number of Lycoming engines
and they are prone to valve sticking.
Having run a number of Lycoming engines from newly overhauled to the point of incipient
valve sticking I have gotten a feeling for what works. And that is ...
nothing.
Nope, I have never found anything that seems to have an effect on when the valve/guide
clearance goes away.
OTOH, I have run into lead fouling problems with spark plugs. Some of the smaller
Lycomings are very prone to lead fouling. In that case I use Alcor TCP fuel
additive and it really makes a difference.

Troops,
I found a neat web site for those of you who are planning a new instrument
panels. It's free and easy.
They have Yak-52 blank panels already there and will be putting up CJ-6
instrument panels next week.
After you call up the panel of your choice, you scroll up a bunch of scaled,
instruments, radios, switches, EFIS, and other stuff, and drag it to a blank
panel. It will even take you to a link for the instruments or stuff you pick
out.
http://www.epanelbuilder.com/
And dream on!!!
