    Subject: Sukhoi snot valve hose
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Rob Kent" <spares@russianaeros.com> For all that wish to know, the part number for the Sukhoi braided snot valve hose is 8D0.447.005-20-40. The -40 signifies a length of 40cm. The part number for the smoke system hoses attached to the exhaust stack is the same except for -70 instead of -40. I currently have neither hose in stock but both types on order. If anybody is interested email me of list and I'll give you what information I can.

Tell me why the images are doctored, has the "poster" cut and pasted to enlarge the formation? cheers BTW, not every one is on ADSL the UK and those that are typically only have ADSL speeds of 450- 500kbs approx. I know the USA speeds are typically 10 megs but we are held back here by the "authorities" who will not give us those speeds, I don't know why. I try and design my web site for all to view. If anyone wants really high res pics for paper printing just say. anyway I thought that the best res you could "see" on a PC was 75 dpi so what's the point of more? --> Yak-List message posted by: "Mark Schrick" <schrick@pacbell.net> Mark J. Do you guys have SLOW modems in UK? Why not ship larger files for clear and precise shots to show off the tight formation that US pilots demonstrate? Several Yak 50 formation shots are on Redstar Pilot Assoc website that look awesome. Good luck.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "cpayne@joimail.com" <cpayne@joimail.com> Could you guys with IFR CJ's send me pics of your panel and equipment lists please? I did an 1hr 15m the other day under the hood in my CJ on a x-country. The first thing I noticed was that the panel layout could use an overhaul and another was that a wing leveler would really help while flipping plates and folding charts. Perhaps a chart mount on the side? Prior to the flight I leveled the A/C on the jacks and zero'd the slip/skids on the T&B and AH. During the flight the AH was spot on with wings level. I used a garmin HSI display for tracking the airways. An unintended consequence was an even fuel burn due to my diligence in holding heading and trim. Craig Payne

    Subject: Re: FAST clinics
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Bob Monzo" <yakpilot@wideopenwest.com> My original point is being misunderstood by Barry and in a previous response, by Mike. As a longstanding member of the RPA going back when we were just a club under Bud, it is my opinion that the organization's focus has changed from a grass roots organization to a T-34/NATA wannabe warbird association. Barry's and Mike's responses just reinforce my opinion. I still can't understand why initial training was eliminated from the MTW clinic. If safety at OSH is the concern, don't allow newly qualified wingmen to participate in the large warbird shows. But don't use OSH safety as an excuse for not providing initial training at MTW. Most FNGs would be satisfied to receive some initial training at MTW for a couple of days and then move on to simply enjoy the OSH experience without flying in the warbird shows. The RPA is conveying the perception that it is more important to use the MTW clinic so that we can have SH formations at OSH than to use some of the MTW resources to provide initial training to our members. I know training may be available elsewhere. But, the MTW clinic is one of the organization's main events due to its almost central location and proximity to OSH which draws our members anyway. Not to provide initial training at one of the organization's main events does not serve the greater needs the members.

When I called two weeks ago to try and purchase 4 recaps, they had 2 in stock; one was an original Russian casing and one was their casing. I guess having them in stock is rare. We now purchase the first set of new tires from Desser, then we rotate the casings back for retreading. I think using your own known-good casings is always a benefit.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Bob Monzo" <yakpilot@wideopenwest.com> The new tires I purchased from Desser a couple of years ago were 1 in. narrower than the original Russian tires.

    Subject: tires
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Sam Sax" <cd001633@mindspring.com> This is an important point (serviceable tires). Desser will not retreat cores with sidewall cracks (aging) or with cord showing (or any other damage. Dennis's point is on the money (literally...) - you save $$ by buying a new set and rotating it for a retreading that is made out of harder rubber and lasts longer. They will retread Russian or Chinese cores as well (so long cores are in good condition).

Is there? I don't remember there being coils in the lines going to the bottles in the CJ6A but I haven't looked at one for a couple of years. There does need to be some kind of flex built in there so that the line may be pushed aside to get the bottles out. But if it is that important to you I will happily and readily admit that I am wrong. The coil couldn't possibly have a condenser function. I should know better than to repeat what I had been taught given that precious few people actually know why anything was done in these aircraft. Frankly, concluding that it may have several functions seems sensible but I concede that you know more than I do about this. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza brianl@lloyd.com Suite 201 http://www.lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 (voice) +1.360.838.9669 (fax) There is a time to laud one's country and a time to protest.

My guess is that there simply aren't enough IPs. It took me a lot of work to get my wing and lead certs since there just weren't enough IPs to fly in my back seat. That is why I spent more time flying with the CAF/TRARON/NATA folks than with the YPA folks. They had more people to provide training and I could get more hops in a day. But all that aside, since there are limited numbers of IPs, they want to "spend" them on large formation training at MTW for OSH. Most of the IPs want to fly their own airplanes and not ride in someone's back seat too. So, no, I don't think Barry and Mike are trying to be exclusive. I think they are trying to allocate a scarce resource for this one event. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza brianl@lloyd.com Suite 201 http://www.lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 (voice) +1.360.838.9669 (fax) There is a time to laud one's country and a time to protest.

Didn't miss that at all. Are you suggesting that the membership does not want a first rate/professional/respected organization? Grass roots is great when grass roots is what is needed. However, once the grass has grown you need to manicure it and take care of it. We are not a 'wanna be' anything, my friend, we *are* a warbird association. I appreciate the grass roots...that's how All Red Star started and it is still very much a grass roots effort today. While there is certainly something to be said for the beginnings, evolution and progress make the association grow and prosper. One thing to consider is that a more professional/larger/more active association means more power in dealing with the FAA and insurance companies. I think we all want *that*. > Barry's and Mike's responses just reinforce my opinion. Well, I only disagree in that the *focus* has never been a grass roots organization. They all start that way out of necessity.

As Brian has said, the problem here is there simply isn't enough time or resources to do both well. You can't take two or three days and adequately do both initial training and mass form training. So do we want to do a less than stellar job at both? This has frankly been the case in the past (no disrespect to anyone) Or focus on what our resources allow us to focus on and do the most important thing under the circumstances...which is to dedicate adequate time to putting up SH (and therefore inherently safe) formations for the show....and support the organization that supports all of us, the EAA. If you're an FNG...come early and *participate* in the mass form practices!!!!! I still scratch my head as to why most people's first experience with form flying is at the controls. Go up in the back seats and learn by watching.....much more productive to the learning process than being overwhelmed with a thousand different things that you've never seen before. Besides, you're flight suits will stay clean longer... :) Just because we aren't having a FAST clinic, doesn't by any means say that those interested in formation training can't show up, attend the briefings, fly the practices in back seats, and then go to the show and critique from the ground! We all need more people to tell us that we're sucked anyway.... > > The RPA is conveying the perception that it is more important to use > the MTW > clinic so that we can have SH formations at OSH than to use some of > the MTW > resources to provide initial training to our members.

Either recruit enough resources at OSH to *effectively* provide both, or contact your RC and help him get a dedicated clinic going in your area. I gotta tell y'all (like you needed to hear it from me!)...associations like ours live and die by the volunteer effort of its members. Idle belly aching without proactive support does nothing to further the cause. Barry (nay-sayers suck) Hancock

Your pontifications do not necessarily mean the changes are in the best interest of the membership. It is my opinion these changes are not in the best interest of the membership. I'm just speaking from my experience, the large warbird organizations are not the end all. As a dues paying member, I believe I am entitled to my opinion. It does appear as if we must just agree to disagree on this one. The membership will make its own judgments each year at renewal time. If members feel they are represented by the RPA they will renew year after year. Otherwise, membership will decrease. Time will tell.

It would soon fail under engine vibration. The loop has a little "give" or "spring" to it and thus is much more able to absorb vibration without cracking.
