Hello Yaksters,
Does anyone know who supplies disk brake pads for the Yak 55M fitted with
original Russian wheels. Each wheel has two double sided disks that rotate
with the wheel and to which the pads are riveted. They are sandwiched
between stationary disks; a single sided inner disk, a double sided floating
disk and a single sided outer disk.

Yakers,
The AH in the front of my 52 has been going bad and GIB said the back
was working fine so i switched them. The #2 AH (in front) started up
fine but after some acro it failed also making me suspect the #1
converter. How do i confirm this and are the Russian converters
repairable? Also noted the rear converter has to be on for the gyro
compass to work even though it (gyro) has it's own switch. Is that
right? ADF has been removed.
TIA

| Subject: | fuel bladder tank installation in CJ6 |
--> Yak-List message posted by: "Doug Sapp" <rvfltd@televar.com>
Forest,
I had Bill Blackwell install both the bladder tanks and the "managed fuel
vent system" in my factory new CJ6. Barry Hancock flew it up from Deer
Valley, you might ask him about his opinion. I flew it about 25 hours
before I left for Red Star on the 12th. After Red Star I flew from
Merced/Atwater to Sandy NV, from Sandy NV, to Santa Teresa TX, then on to
San Marcos TX where I delivered it to it's new owner. Not only did the
tanks enable me to have very long legs, but I made 90% of the flight with my
feet flat on the floor and only once did I have an imbalance that was over
10 liters, and then it was just a matter of shutting one vent off until the
imbalance cured itself, all done without holding rudder or flying around
with one wing high.
You have to understand that I also sell a aux tank system, so it is not
every day that you will hear me endorsing someone else's aux fuel system,
but I do believe in giving credit where credit is due, and Gil Gutierrez and
Bill Blackwell did a great job of designing the system. In my opinion this
aux fuel system is both easy to install, reasonably priced, and when coupled
with the managed fuel vents (in the wing tips) is an excellent system.
Having flown from Omak to San Marcos TX with both systems installed I
personally would never consider installing one without the other. In fact I
do believe that the CJ drivers out there that still have the stock tanks
would do well to consider the installation of the managed vent portion of
the system, it truly is a great aid in fuel management.
Always Yakin,
Doug Sapp

I am installing bladders in my CJ6. please comment on experiences
particulary the vent system. the original tanks dont feed equally due to yaw
but can be corrected with slight rudder pressure. Any info will be helpful.
I dont see what is wrong with using the original system. Thanks,FORREST

Speaking of fuel bladders, does anyone know the status of the fuel bladders
for the YAK - 52? I heard about them vicariously from guys that went to
Sun'N'Fun. Claims to add ~7 gal/side using the existing fuel bays???? Where
can they be found and how much?

Did you enjoy All Red Star this year?
Do you want to be part of All Red Star next year?
Do you want to make a difference?
If so, then Uncle Postal (that's me), WANTS YOU!
I am looking for some good volunteers to help with various parts of All Red
Star next year. The key to the fly-in's success this year was our
volunteers... and we can always use more! Help as much or as little as you desire.
You can be a pilot, GIB, or just an enthusiast... we take all comers!
I am taking names to be contacted next January to assist with any part of
ARS that interests you. Please contact me off the list and I will make sure to
get the information to you late next winter!
I look forward to hearing from you! Aviation is contagious!
