Pappy, Pappy, Pappy,
It is spelled "Voila!". You spelling resemble too much a store chain which
shall not be named here... ;-)
BTW, it is a beautiful day here also in the great white north, the
continental ARTIC air mass arrived yesterday bringing blue skies, unlimited
viz and grueling -20c....:-(
Cheer,

Doug,
I have an old set from my 285hp engine. Worked great last time it was used.
If you are interrested.

| Subject: | gear actuator overhaul |
--> Yak-List message posted by: "Lance Robb" <lrob4783@bigpond.net.au>
Hi Ron,
I serviced the actuators and uplocks on our CJ at the last service. I had
ordered all genuine parts from China and found the actuator seals were
already partially perished when they arrived so I replaced them 1/8th
section o'rings which were also fitted at the previous service. When I
removed the o'rings previously fitted they could have been confidently
re-installed until the next service and didn't have a mark on them.
The up-locks have a cup type seal and a soft washer to seal the end gland,
these parts really need to be replaced genuine although I did substitute the
lead washer for a copper one but care is needed to ensure a good seal when
tightening it. Other than that they are straight forward and have an
ingnues method of locking the cylinder in fully extended with a series of
balls which drop into a recess and can only be released by applying air to
the cylinder.
Basic, straight forward and very reliable....
Regards,
Lance

Anyone done the gear actuators on a CJ-6A. I have the kits and ordered
a complete one as a spare in case I can't get one open. The old ones
work fine but I have no history on their last overhaul. Plan on doing
the uplocks too. Any comments on techniques would be nice.

--> Yak-List message posted by: "Jeff Linebaugh" <jefflinebaugh@earthlink.net>
Fellow Yakers,
We have been invited to participate in the Springfield Air Rendevous in
Springfield, IL. The airshow has been set for April 30-May 1. They have
hired Team Red, and have asked for us to supply a group of Yaks/CJ for mass
formation fly-bys and static display. This will be very similar to the
airshow we put on in Jackson TN in October of last year. (Please note: the
show was originally scheduled for Sept 2005, but have just moved up their
date to accommodate the Blue Angels. We will have to get this organized
quickly!)
The airshow organizers have offered us free rooms, fuel, oil, and smoke oil
in exchange for flying in the show and providing pre-show orientation and
press rides. This will also allow us to get pre-show practice in. They are
requesting 12-15 aircraft. Desired arrival date is Thursday the 28th, with
departures on the 1st.
Pilots will need to be current FAST qualified pilots, and Commercial rated
or better to take advantage of the rooms and fuel. If you are not
commercially rated, you can still participate, just shouldn't accept any of
the "Freebies".
I will be looking for semi-firm commitments for this show, and will take
pilots on a first come basis. Please contact me directly.
Anyone that attended the Jackson show will tell you it was a great time, and
great to have someone else footing the bill for our fun! I look forward to
another great airshow event....

Hello fellow Yaksters...
Has anyone replaced their canopy? (By that, I actually mean done it yourself?)
Have you found a suitable replacement for the "Tape" that insulates the edge of
the plexiglas sandwiched between the aluminum pieces that hold the plexi in place?
I would appreciate any info. While people have recommended using "silicone sealer"
I understand this could be nearly impossible to remove in the future. I don't
want that headache, nor do I care to pass that along to the next owner...
Kind regards,
Ross Bausone

G'Day Ross
When I replaced my glass which I did myself (bugger of a job) I used velvet
ribbon same stuff as used for tying hair or dress making and I also used
very thin rubber.

Ross,
I used a silicon rubber tape that aircraft spruce sells. It worked
quite well. It doesn't have any glue on it, but it sticks pretty
well. So, when you change again, it's easy. :)
Wes
PS I don't have the part no. handy, but I can look it up if you can't find it.

Wes and All
The Aircraft Spruce Part Number for a 15 ft. roll of the 1/16"X 1" silicone
rubber strip is 05-00664. This comes with a separate bottle of silicone
adhesive. It also works very well as chafe strip on the landing gear doors, and
as
a replacement for the brushed on rubber used on the cowling front support
ring.
