    Subject: RE: Yak 52
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Richard Basiliere" <BasiliereR@ci.boulder.co.us> Sounds like you had a great time. Yup, the -52 winds up - -55 and Sukhoi also do. It's the power thing, inertia... They all (Russian -52, -55, Sukhoi) are totally honest. You ask them to go flat - they do - you ask for recovery - they do. Did you do the US or Russian recovery? The Sukhoi manual and when Azat worked with me tells you if you wish a faster recovery you fly INTO the spin and not against it - the ailerons connect and you fly away in less than a turn. Pretty impressive. Pulling power causes them to want to play "lawn dart", nose down and you cxan recover from there. There are probably as many different "tumble" entries as people doing them. I was taught three. Pull Up 45 degree - 90 roll to right knife edge - 230 kph - aggressively push left rudder and bury the stick in right forward corner and hold it there until tumbling stops and you are in - inverted flat accelerated spin - recover from that. Abracadabra I think he called that one. The left rudder and right forward stick will tumble from about any attitude. From a vertical - right forward stick and right rudder will get you Edelweiss. They start from outside flick. This is not to be misconstrued to be instruction or even suggestion to try any gyroscopic. Get the dual - and have a blast. Ask the Colorado Yak Pac, Azat and I tumbled with them at Lamar, CO a couple of years a go - they left giggling like school girls. Seriously, get the training, be safe, have fun. It took a full day of training inverted flat accelerated spin recoveries (on heading...) before Azat or Vladimir Radomsky would let me tumble. BTW, I just got done with 5 day camp with Nik Timofeev helping me with my Unlimited, others with Sportsman. Nik is out there (Ocala, FL) and is a great source for dual and/or critiquing. Judges told me after the Contest that I'm flying the best I ever have in Unlimited, thanks to Nik. Respectfully, Rick >>> yak52driver@earthlink.net 5/21/2004 4:53:17 PM >>> --> Yak-List message posted by: "Frank Haertlein" <yak52driver@earthlink.net> Yaksters; In talking about the right flat spin of the 52 all I can say is (in the immortal words of a fellow MIG pilot) is that it "really winds up". I got the very same impression when flying with Oleg. It really does "wind up". I got the distinct impression that I had to hold it in to keep it in the flat spin though the recovery did take a few turns. Anyone want to interject their impressions? Everything was happening so fast I couldn't really analyze what was going on except by using "seat of the pants" impressions. Every other spin recovery seemed conventional for me except that Oleg kept chastising me to slow down with the recovery...... "YAK-52 like fine woman, go slow and things work good".. Did anyone else have that impression? Another interesting aspect of his training was the "if everything goes haywire and you don't know what's upside down or rightside up, just pull off power, hold onto the canopy rails and wait" maneuver. Took me awhile to get used to that one but sure as hell the 52 found it's nose and pointed the way back, so to speak. Not sure it would do that from the flat spin though. Out of curiosity, does anyone know how he gets you into the Lomchevak? I think I know but since Oleg's spin entry was unusual for me I wonder if his Lomchevak entry is different as well? I saw him and George Lazic above the field tumbling around like crazy. Wished I would have thought to ask him to show me that maneuver. Frank N911OM YAK52

I truly have bladder envy.

The fuel specifics are horrible, but think about that 80 degree Vne climb! :) B

    Subject: Ignition harness parts
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "TC Johnson" <tjohnson@cannonaviation.com> Anyone have any spare / junk ignition harness conduit? I need the conduit that goes from the very bottom left of the ignition "Ring" to the front plug of the #5 cylinder. It's a pretty long one. The conduit on the inside of mine is all FUBAR and is chaffing the ignition lead and causing "leaks" of the Hi-tension to ground. I've replaced that wire twice now and realize realize the problem is the conduit. Please advise off list. ********************************** Thomas Johnson
