Nope. The only caveat I would add is that anything that can loosen deposits in the oil galleys can cause those deposits to move and possibly block the galleys or block the flow to one of the bearings. But at this point you have already taken the chance so I don't think there is much risk for you. If you want to go a step farther, add MMO to your oil. That will really start to loosen up any crap still left in there. I run about 10% MMO at oil change. It seems to keep everything cleaner. But I do this from first oil change so I never let the engine start to get any build-up. BTW, I would NOT do this unless I had an oil filter to keep the detritus from recirculating back into the engine.

The only real way to determine TBO would be to tear down a number of engines when they get overhauled and plot wear against time in use. The Russians probably published a set of go/no-go wear limits. From that you can extrapolate when the engine is projected to reach the end of its useful life. I think that only the rebuilders can tell us that.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Charlie Lynch" <lynch@netjets.com> Kimble's Aviation Fall Fly-in Georgetown, DE (KGED) Oct. 14th - 17th Details As the date for the next fly-in rapidly approaches, the details are being sorted out. As always, if you have any questions, please contact Adrian at (240) 375-3423 or Belinne@hotmail.com. Schedule Arrival is scheduled for midday through evening on Thursday. We will fly a couple of launches that afternoon for those of you that can't wait, but the bulk of the flying will start early Friday morning. Friday morning will start early with ground school for new formation pilots as well as a Lead Pilot Session. Friday evening will include a BBQ dinner and beer call in the museum hangar. On Saturday we have scheduled with a local group to have a car show in the parking lot along with a picnic cookout for lunch. The crowds should be a good audience for the "flour bombing" competition. Saturday dinner will be hosted at one of the local eateries in town. There will be launches scheduled for Sunday, but things will be slower with departures starting at midday. Hotel We have made arrangements for everyone to stay in the same hotel and have arranged transportation to and from the airport throughout the day. The hotel is a quick ten minute ride from the airport. Atlantic Inn 210 E. DuPont Highway Millsboro, DE 19966 302-934-6711 IMPORTANT: To reserve your room you must call the hotel and hold a room in your name with a credit card. Ask for the Redstar Pilot's Association block. There are rooms with two double beds for those of you that would like to share ($69/nt + tax) and King rooms with fridge ($79/nt + tax) for those that want something nicer. Registration Registration for the event will be handled upon arrival. The registration fee is $185, which covers Check Pilot expenses, transportation costs, hotel discounts, breakfasts, drinks, snacks, and administration costs. Anyone with specific requests, or questions, please call or email the event coordinator, Adrian Belinne at (240) 375-3423 or Belinne@hotmail.com. Mr. Charles R.

    Subject: Solve your Russian Radio problems
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jerome Van Der Schaar" <jvds30@hotmail.com> Ladies, Thanks to our technician Henk Bouwman, we developed a simple but very effective amplifier for the Russian radio and intercom system. It converts the Ohm=92s to the Western standard, amplifies the sound. It has an automatic resetting system and is very easy to build yourself if you have a bit knowledge of electronics. So if your radio system suffers good transmitting but poor cracky sound, build this one, saves you a lot of money related to the western intercom systems. Anyhow, the drawings are available at the download section of www.yakkes.com Good luck. Jerome Yakkes Foundation

    Subject: Battery Set Up
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Bitterlich GS11 Mark G <BitterlichMG@cherrypoint.usmc.mil> Brian's explanation is 100% correct. His theory is dead on. What he says will happen... does happen. Of course, if you want a message verifying his statements from an Electronics Engineer...... Be advised you just got one. But.... if anyone wants to disagree just to disagree... no sweat... get a few meters out and measure the current and voltages on all legs. The results will prove that real world and theory actually do match in electronics. As to impedance.... as he said... "if there is no AC involved..... " and to explain further.... impedance is defined very simply as the resistance to AC. A battery is DC... you can have no IMPEDANCE with just DC energy. Internal battery resistance yes... but not "impedance". Personally, and just to be different from Brian, I prefer the 24 volt to 12 volt "converter" .... although I can not argue his rationale for not liking them. If I was that worried about one failing, I would simply install a backup. I mean.. anything can fail... where do you draw the line? My 2 cents... in this case... a whole dollars worth.

Now there is a specious argument if ever I saw one. In the former case overcharging and undercharging do have an effect on battery life. Pizza and tires clearly have nothing to do with one another. Might I suggest another analogy? This problem, that of center-tapping a 24V battery to get 12V, isn't something new or something that I made up. It is a commonly understood problem ... well, not so commonly understood as I am finding out here. > Your 80 amp boat load (why didn't you buy a 24 hydraulic pump from > Surplus > Center in Lincoln, NE???) is no less convincing. I was only pointing out that I had a real reason to use an 80A device. SurePower makes both battery equalizers and 24V-to-12V converters that range in capacity from 10A to 150A. It all depends on your application. The boat came with a 12V autopilot with pump. The pump is variable speed bidirectional device so it can drive the steering in either direction and is very specific to the autopilot. The cost to replace the navigation computer (it has the power supply for the pump) and the pump with their 24V counterparts was a whole lot more expensive than using the equalizer and continuing to run the autopilot from 12V. So I got the equalizer and simplified my electrical system for 12V loads. > It's like saying that > since 800 cups of coffee gives lab ratr cancer, one cup a day is > certain to > a human therefore causes liver cancer too. Well, we weren't talking about rats, coffee, or liver cancer so I haven't a clue how you came to any such conclusion. Color me dense. > What does an equilizer do? It must either limit generator current > (and I > fail to see how this helps) or it must equalize the load by putting a > dummy > resistive load on the top battery. This will waste half of you energy- > unless you happen to need the heat there in the Carribean. It "must" nothing. The equalizer is essentially a switching regulator and charge pump that has three terminals: ground, 12V, and 24V. The regulator maintains the 12V terminal at exactly 1/2 the voltage of the 24V terminal. It is wired thusly: ,------+--------> 24V | | | B2 | | E------+--------> 12V | | | B1 | | `------+--------> ground Here is what happens with no equalizer. As you draw current from the 12V tap you would only drain B1. If you charge while you are drawing current from the 12V tap then the charge current for B2 is the sum of the charge current going into B1 and the current in your 12V loads. B2 receives more charge current than does B1 and B2 charges more quickly. Since B2 is more charged than B1, the voltage across B2 is much greater than the voltage across B1. The current through your 12V loads is always present so the charge current for B2 will never drop to zero even when B2 is fully charged. You are very quickly going to go into an overcharge state in B2. And since the 12V loads are pulling down the 12V tap, the voltage across B1 drops and it never receives a full charge. So B2 is perpetually overcharged to the point of destruction and B1 is perpetually undercharged to the point of destruction. It just takes a little longer to kill B1. With the equalizer in the circuit, the equalizer takes power from B2 (it is a charge pump) and delivers it to the 12V tap. It is not a resistive device. It actively takes power from the 12V/24V terminals (from B2), and then delivers it between the ground/12V terminals. The voltage maintained between ground and the 12V terminal is always exactly 1/2 of the voltage between ground and the 24V terminal. This ensures that both batteries are charged with exactly the same voltage and maintained at the same potential. If the batteries have different capacities the equalizer will still keep them at the same potential and balance the load so that they discharge at the same rate. I prefer this approach to having a separate 24V-to-12V converter because, if the converter fails, you lose your 12V buss. If the equalizer fails you still have the 12V coming from B1 so you can complete your flight and continue to use your 12V loads. > And for the record: batteries do have impedance-related issues, but > the salt > air has rusted my can opener so I won't open that can of worms. In this case we are dealing with DC (steady-state) loads so only the internal resistances of the batteries are at issue. If we had high-frequency ripple then we could talk about impedance issues but since that is not the case ...

Tailslides and spins give it a break, I guess. I just got done a couple of Camps with Nickolai Timofeev he flew her @100%, in 96-97 flew my -52 with Azat Zaydullin and Vladimir Radomsky. They got me started on the A-B power method and it has been SOP for me since the Yak. So, you guys that treat your ships with more - how do I say - care/concern - should get lots of utility from those M14P's.

    Subject: rudder cable tunnels
    From: Roger Baker <f4ffm2@adelphia.net>
    0.00 FROM_HAS_MIXED_NUMS From": yak-list@matronics.com --> Yak-List message posted by: Roger Baker <f4ffm2@adelphia.net> If you will recall, during the rudder cable cover/tunnel modification/removal discussion of a couple of weeks ago, I said I'd post the bulletin details and a translation of the actual order early this week....well, things always seem to take longer that one might expect. I still haven't done the translation, but I will pass along the following: The mandatory change order (akin to an Airworthiness Directive in our system) was issued by the Chief Engineer of the USSR DOSAAF system on May 19, 1981 under the order number 2/7-1150. It mandated a shortening and reshaping of the rudder cable covers on Yak 52 airplanes. I will get the actual order translated and posted...but it will be sometime after the 11th of October before that'll happen. Just as an aside, a similar order was issued a bit earlier than the above date for Yak 50 airplanes that mandated the complete REMOVAL of the covers. Roger Baker

    Subject: TBO (Was: Just dropped in)
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Royden Heays" <heaysr@telus.net> Yep, me too. Aerobatic practice needs full power, 100% RPM. If the friction lever is a bit loose, RPM drops back a bit, but if noticed the friction lever gets re-tightened with both throttle and prop levers full forward. To and fro the practice area I run 70% or 76% RPM, and on climb 82%, with power and prop levers at a matching positions. On descent from practice area to home I keep an eye on CHT with the aim of keeping it in the green with the gills lever. The M14P seems not to complain. In aerobatic circles, peers will laugh at you if you run it at anything less. Even the AEIO-360 in my Decathlon was run at full power full RPM for aerobatics and I ran that engine "on condition" well beyond the 1400 hrs TBO, with 76/80 compression readings at every annual. Both A/C got/get almost weekly use which perhaps is a key point; reduced rust build up or acid accumulations in the oil that occur with infrequent use.

All I know fly this way. 82% to the practice area then 98-101 until the return trip. Tailslides and spins give it a break, I guess. I just got done a couple of Camps with Nickolai Timofeev he flew her @100%, in 96-97 flew my -52 with Azat Zaydullin and Vladimir Radomsky. They got me started on the A-B power method and it has been SOP for me since the Yak. So, you guys that treat your ships with more - how do I say - care/concern - should get lots of utility from those M14P's. BTW, my compressor lasted 800 hrs - but no gear and flap stresses like the -52 Regards, Rick >>> dabear@damned.org 9/30/2004 1:42:51 PM >>> --> Yak-List message posted by: "DaBear" <dabear@damned.org> So let me ask this. During flight do you only fly at 98% or above (except for decent and landing)? Is this really how most Sukhoi pilots fly their M14P?

    Subject: Just dropped in
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Royden Heays" <heaysr@telus.net> I have read somewhere recently in a publication that seemed to be authoritative that the M14P TBO (in the Yak 55M?) is 750 hrs, and that two are allowed before the engine is scrap at 2250 hrs. If readers want, I will try and locate the source. Of course, this does not apply to the industrial versions that run for tens of 1,000's of hours.
