Hi.
We have translated the original YAK 50 Dosaaf flight manual describing aerobatics,
the tech description and maintenance manuals, these along with the M14P manual
are offered on CD, each can be printed. priced at 52 GBP including postage
and packing.
We accept visa and master card.
I hope this offers a valuable service to the YAK community.Its certainly taken
a long time to find the original source material.
Cheers, mark

| Subject: | New -29 MT Prop Blades |
--> Yak-List message posted by: "Steve Dalton" <sdalton@goeaston.net>
Fellow Yakkers,
While at OSH/MTW we had the opportunity to compare the new -29 MT blades
to the older -27 blades most of us have on MT props. We used three
-52TW's for the test.
We used Ski's and my -52TW's with the -27 blades, and Paul Horning's new
-52TW with the new -29 blades. All aircraft had the same engine (400
hp) and fuel load (we had just topped off at OSH). Ski had a backseater
while Paul and I were solo.
We flew close line abreast formation for the tests (Paul in the lead,
with Ski and I on his wings). We all set the same power settings and
watched to see who was fastest. We left the power set long enough to
see the effects.
Power settings tested were 1900 rpm/27 inches (cruise), 2400 rpm/32
inches (climb), and 2900 rpm/36 inches (max power). We also tried a
climb test with 2400/32 set and a 110 mph climb speed.
Result: Absolutely no difference. Ski would drop back a couple feet in
a half minute (he had the backseater), but Paul and I flew perfectly
side by side. (On the full power test Paul was maybe 1/2 a knot faster,
but his tach was reading a little higher than Ski and I.)
I'm sure all our gauges are not exactly the same, but I'm also sure all
three planes gauges are close enough to show that the new -29 blades
don't do much (if anything) to enhance performance on the -52TW.
However, the big MT spinner Paul had is really nice. It looks much
better on the -52 than the little spinner.
Regards,
Steve Dalton

MTW/OSH attendees,
If you have any digital pictures, please head to the website and go to
"events" - "event debrief" and upload your pictures and some quick
information for the post-event information on MTW 2004.
Folks, we have two more RPA events (NW/CA and SC) coming up in September, as
well as a few listed "general aviation events", please see the online
calendar. Event planners, www.rpatalk.com will remain for you to one-time
post any last minute critical event info for the crowd to read at leisure...
I will post the 2nd qtr newsletter later today at flyredstar...

Folks,
I would like to thank Kieth and Janace Harbour, and their FBO, AVCRAFT for
their excellent support for the RPA fly-in at OLU this past June! They
selflessly support their fellow association pilots every year and deserve a
major round of applause...(and the crowd goes wild!)
And another big thanks to Herb Coussons and Russ Dycuss for their help
putting together yet another MTW/OSH this past week! I've heard a lot of
good things from this years Air Venture, thanks to these folks and those of
you who pitched in all around, Jim Goolsby, Mike Filucci, Skip, Ski and
everyone who jumped in any way...thanks again
Note:
I've uploaded two documents (PDF) of interest for folks planning on hosting
an event, they are in the Event Room under "How to Host an Event" and are a
Site Survey Checklist and example itinerary and flight schedule. Both are
examples and should be tweaked at will. The site survey checklist is an
excellent guide to print and take with you if you are scoping out an
airfield for an upcoming RedStar invasion....
You will also find all in-event forms and registration documents needed
under the "Helpful Documents" link for download and replication. The
availability of all this information is to make RPA event generation as
effortless as possible for our member-volunteers...
If you have documents you think should be made available under any
applicable subject, just upload them in any software format (MS Word,
Excell, MS Publisher, MS PPT, etc.) using the "submit article" on left nav
table of contents. You must be a current member and logged in to access
this tool. We will convert them to PDF and make them available in the
applicable section of www.flyredstar.org
Drew

OSH had rather good weather this year; flying to and
back was nearly uneventful weather wise which is a
rarity. The number of planes seemed normal and the
crowds possibly down. Of course there was much to see
and do as OSH always offers. No report on MTW.
At times (once or twice) the Yak/CJ line looked good
even spilling into additional space. Yaks models
included 52, 50 and 18T; great year! At other times
(showtimes) the Yak/CJ line was nearly bare; the
Cessna O2s outnumbered them! Sad to see but with MTW
happening at the same time, I guess can be expected.
