Dear Lister,
Please read over the Yak-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Yak-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Yak-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,
Matt Dralle

******************************************************************************
Yak-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Yak-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Yak-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Yak-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Yak-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.

If they stay theres a possibility they can die. Dont want to be over
dramatic here, but its a fact, the storms is going to make landfall right at
Vero, but this storm is so big that yhere will be Hurricane force winds 180
miles out from the center. To put it in perspective, if it makes landfall at
Vero, people in daytona beach will have +75 MPH winds. If they were my
parents, I'd go down and drag them out myself. The storm surge alone is
expected to be 16 feet above high tide, in other words I hope they're good
body surfers.

I am still in shock seeing the damage of Charlie in the middle of the state!
..anyone wanting to stick around (except Ernie in his bunker) does not
understand the force these storms have. DC-3s flipped over on their backs?
T-6's smashed in their hangars. But that's not the only problem....just
talked with my buddy in Orlando- he watched two fist fits in line at Gas
Stations today...everyone is on edge and the stores are all out of
everything.
Anybody wanting to bail out of the way is welcome here in Memphis! Lots of
room for people and Yaks....

I have only install canopies on cjs so, I don't know about yaks. But I did
install a Cee Bailey canopie over the pilot on my first cj . I sent them
the old glass and they molded a new piece from that . The new glass was
1/6" thinner that the oe glass. I called them and they said that's the only
thickness they have for that canopie. That was about 6 years back so they
may have changed what they are doing. I agree that poor installation will
cause canopies to crack at any time. However some canopie materials are
more forgiving than others.

Why d'ya say a 260cm prop is "too long", Richard?
I've run a 260cm Whirlwind on my Yak-55m for about 500hrs.
NO landing gear extenders, just 15-6x600 tires on Matco wheels/brakes.
NO issues. No wheel landings, of course, but I've never needed a wheel
landing. Works great.
Accelerates like a bat out of hell, nice pseudo-hover, too.

Yak-55 Gear
"Spreading" of 55 gear is common, particularly if landed a bit hard.
We have found the only long-term solution is to remove the
undercarriage, and take it to an engineering firm with a big hydraulic
press, and re-set the gear. The titanium is springy and this process
doesn't in any way seem to weaken it, and effectively brings it back to
new.
In terms of 3-blade propellers, they will always give a far better
performance than the Russian 2-blade. However, even with the correct
gear, the 260cm MT prop is definitely too long.

Kelly is right, all that "glitters is not Plexiglas". There are about 4
different types of material used, so if you go for the cheap price you will
most likely get the lower grade material which tends to be both harder to
work with and a bit more brittle.
Always Yakin,

Where did you find those numbers? Cable tension is given in lbs (or kg) not
in lb/ft. In any case the numbers are wrong, without knowing any specifics
for the Yak 52 I can assure you that the primary cables ( i.e.: 3 to 4 mm
dia)
will be tensioned in the 30 to 50 lb range.
Tensioning to 120 lbs. will likely cause structural damage, the cable can
handle that but the pulley attachments probably cannot.

John,
I think you will find that your Whirlwind is 256 cm. Nevertheless, that
equates to 2 cm (less than 1 inch) better ground clearance than the 260
cm prop, so your point is well taken. What I have not been able to
figure out is why your 1993 Yak 55M stands so much taller than my 1988
Yak 55M when neither A/C has gear extenders.
I have read somewhere somebody saying that the 260 cm prop is too big
for some Yak 55's. I wonder if the factory changed the length of the
gear along the way. Maybe the long wing 55 has shorter gear than the
55M.

Frank,
If they expect a direct (or close) hit - Get them out! In a case like
this, boarding the house up with hurricane shutters would increase the
chance of finding the house somewhat less than totally gone (if they are
very lucky). If they really give you a hassle about leaving town, at least
get them to an official Shelter - usually a school structure built out of
concrete. These would probably be filled to capacity by now. If the stay
and survive - they will be so traumatized that you may have a problem
communicating with them for a long time.
You see, it is not only the destruction power of wind around the eye, but
the many tornados spawning all around the eye for several miles in width - I
haven't even mentioned flood and other goodies. I am in Miami still working
on boarding our home up. We decided to stay in as we expect the storm will
pass somewhere to our north (that could change too).
Once a hurricane scared the living SH_T out of you, you absolutely WILL
respect it a lot more and will know what to do for the next one.
Nuff said - best to you and your family and to all that are in Hurricane
Frances' path.

Yakinators
Talked to my parents today and they are in Vero Beach. They say Francis
is going to go right for them but have decided to stay. They recently
retired to Florida and don't have allot of experience with Hurricanes so
I'm asking the more experience persons on this list about their opinion
of staying and riding out the storm. I hear it's going to be a bad one.
With the reported strength of this storm is staying a good/bad idea?
If I can convince them to leave does anyone have a place for them to
camp out for a night or two?
Thanks in advance for any help/answers/opinions.
Frank

If I remember correctly from long ago quality control duties the approved
material for aircraft use was Plexiglas "G". But that was a very long time
ago.

Walt,
Thanks for responding - My numbers are in lb Force not lb feet. Or in metric
kgp which is kg Fource - 1kgp = 1kgf = 9.81 N and 1lbF = 4.448 N
So basically the Elevator is 55lb for 90
And the Rudder 47.5 for 90
I should have been more clear -
Thanks,
Deon.

Where did you find those numbers? Cable tension is given in lbs (or kg) not
in lb/ft. In any case the numbers are wrong, without knowing any specifics
for the Yak 52 I can assure you that the primary cables ( i.e.: 3 to 4 mm
dia)
will be tensioned in the 30 to 50 lb range.
Tensioning to 120 lbs. will likely cause structural damage, the cable can
handle that but the pulley attachments probably cannot.
