Why reinvent the critical part? 1000's of YAK's/ SU etc (not only 52) but all the predecessors and the CJ etc all use the same cable system. It works!! On the 52 it's a difficult job agreed, we did it the other day, expect about 3 hrs work. If you would like to call my engineer feel free to do so, he will give you the "do's and don'ts" tips. + 44 1767 651156 BR, mark --> Yak-List message posted by: PHCarter@aol.com Some advice please. My Yak-52 throttle cable got damaged near the forward cockpit throttle assembly. Replacement of the cable is indicated. Problem is my mechanic can't figure out how to get the old cable out and the new cable in without removing the engine from the aircraft. We are beginning to think about replacing the standard cable with an American cable and adapting it to the engine and cockpit control assembly. Does anyone have experience in replacing the 52's throttle cable? Any thoughts on replacing the standard cable with an American cable?

Some I just don't care to mention... Gramma always said: "if you can't say something good about someone, don't say anything". Still getting plenty of inquiries on the flight line. Guys see the bare anodizing and I point out that it looks like that on the inside too. Get's their attention, so does the fuel burn and performance specs. T-6 boys at the Sebring NATA clinic report flying about 10-15 hours each @ 30GPH, paying $3.30/gal. All of a sudden we are flying bargains, Pinko Commies not withstanding. If fuel prices stay up, there could be a trend towards RPA type airplanes, which we KNOW are even more fun than big pig gas hogs. But of course, it is ALL due do RPA training and flying skills as demo'd at flyins :) Craig Payne Craig Payne ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:59:02 PM PST US From: Cj6sly@cs.com Subject: Yak-List: Re: Yak-List Digest: 8 Msgs - 04/12/05 --> Yak-List message posted by: Cj6sly@cs.com In a message dated 4/13/2005 12:59:57 AM Mountain Standard Time, yak-list-digest@matronics.com writes: > > Let me know off-list what is seriously for sale at non-BS > prices and I will pass it on.

It's APR'er spelled backwards! Sorry could not pass that up. Really, it is Red Star Pilots association. It used to be the YAK Pilots Ass. It became Red Star Pilots Ass about 1 1/2 years ago.
