Weigh your plane. Ernie -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Michael Di Marco Subject: Yak-List: Empty Weight --> Yak-List message posted by: Michael Di Marco I'm wondering if my empty weight is in line with what is "normal" for the CJ-6A. Yakity Yaks lists it as 1900lbs and China Defence lists it as 1095 kgs(2414 lbs). With the black boxes removed, I'm coming in at 2340 lbs. Normal or Not?

As for 1900 empty weight...LOL. It was a nice sales tool back when people didn't know any better. Look at it this way. I have all new plumbing with AN fittings, all new electrical, all new panels with lightweight gyros and solid state inverters and the list goes on and on. I do have long range tanks for 74 gal. capacity, but that and the M14P were the *only* things that added weight to the airplane. I even put my oxygen bottle in the empennage for usable ballast. I have 21 lbs of ballast in the tail. My empty weight...2206. Now, if I could just find that secret compartment....

(The RPA event registration info does not show this.) If you plan to attend the FAST Formation Ground School, would you please drop me a line, or give me a call. We need a head count...we want to have a training manual prepared for you ahead of time. Also, please note that the Ground School has been pushed back to Thursday morning June 10th, to follow immediately after the morning safety briefing (to allow more people to attend!)

We had a great time at our 1st Leeward Air Ranch invitational BFM clinic. Had a blast, turns out our 2 IP's were squadron mates in the Air force while they were both T-38 instructors, so the instruction from the 2 of them was extremely consistent and excellent overall. We got to do Tac formation including weaves, shackles, tactical rejoins (regular rejoins are just damn boring now), check turns, defensive turns, barrel rolls, hi yo, and lo yo. Really cool stuff. Realizing the potential of the CJ was a real eye opener for me. They were able to get me ill once ( I didn't puke, but I sure felt like it) Nice going Rich :-). One thing for sure, I need to build up G tolerance. Lets do it again soon.

They come loose, and they also corrode. Mark -----Original Message----- From: A. Dennis Savarese [mailto:adsavar@gte.net] Subject: Re: Yak-List: Re:Yak 52 CHT Inop --> Yak-List message posted by: "A. Dennis Savarese" Have you swapped the CHT gauge from the rear cockpit to the front? If you haven't, try that first to be sure it isn't the instrument that failed. If the problem remains with the front instrument, also take the cannon plug apart and check for cold solder joints or broken wires. At the spark plug end, it is a very simple mechanism. Much like a thermistor of some kind. There is about a 4-5" lead that actually screws together to the harness. Go ahead and strip the wrapping from around the two CHT probes on the rear plug of #4 cylinder and see what you find. You will need an Ohm meter to determine which one goes the front. So you'll have to have someone in the front cockpit to help. You can also swap the heat probes around too. Let me know what you find.
