At least one of them should get back with you shortly.

Canopy glass: ~ Aerotrader in Chino used our molds and makes Yak canopies for us. We now refer customers directly to them. You can give Carl a call at 909-597-4020. They are located in Chino, CA. The comment about Cee Bailey's glass not being the correct thickness and cracking is one I have also heard from several customers. ~ Based upon our experience replacing the canopy glass on Yaks, you cannot count on the Romanians building everything square. If you square up your canopy bows on the Yaks, you may be staring at some unsightly gaps between the slider and stationary pieces when finished. We advise customers to build a jig, if they are going to rebuild their canopies. ~ Cracking around the drilled holes is a big problem and can be avoided by: Using a plexiglass drill Using SOFT rivets, not Hard rivets I like the idea of the bushings, but as a business, I know my customers would not be willing to foot the bill for that detail of work. Aerotrader will rebuild canopies. They drill and then reheat the plexiglass to stress relieve around the holes. I like this idea and I will have this done when I rebuild the canopies on our Yak. It is helpful to take measurements off of the stationary pieces to slider canopy bows before you remove everything. I stock new canopy bearings. Yak 52 Control Cables: Dennis, I have them in stock. Please contact me off list. Oil leaks: Over and over again, I hear people say "Oh well, it's a radial engine. If it doesn't leak oil, there is something wrong." Wrong. The M-14P is a relatively "dry" engine. My experience is that most customers buy a Yak or CJ with little radial engine experience behind them. It is not a flat engine that you have your mechanic inspect at annual every year. The M-14P requires preventative maintenance in terms of keeping nuts torqued, replacing bad valve cover gaskets, etc. Bud Harrell wrote a very good booklet on operating radials, a few years back. I think he charged $5 or $10 for it. A worthwhile read....... and also the M-14P Maintenance Manual!

It looks like she will only be about 120nm N of us at closest approach tomorrow rather than the 200nm it looked like we were going to get. We expect to see 30kt-50kt winds and some rain. If you don't hear from me on Wednesday you will know that we didn't fare well.

It will be on again at 11pm PST on the History Channel "Tactical to Practical". I thought they did and excellent job of showing ALL RED STAR plus CJ's and Yak 52's in the air. They mentioned the group several times. Drew was a star of the show with Harry "Hairball" Hirschman doing several interviews and John "Hitman" Hilterman and the cheesecake of the show. Keith "Frosty" Frost and the hero of the show Michael "Freezer" Lloyd for allowing the star to shoot him down... Sal Rubino Jr was a great addition to the ALL RED STAR team with fantastic fly bys and donation of his rare MIG 21. AWESOME JOB.. Over all I thought they did an excellent job showing the ALL RED STAR aircraft and our mission. Great Job ALL RED STAR and TEAM....Now lets start the Dog Fighting and Tach Form September 30-Oct 3rd at South County Airport (Q99 or E16) You really need to come... Fights on ...Fights on.....
