Pappy;
You mentioned that a pilot friend of yours wasn't expected to make it
due to viral pneumonia.
I notice that you were writing from Chico, California. Was your friend
within this area when he was stricken?
Chico is within the geographical area known for "VALLEY FEVER". Valley
fever is a fungal infection of the lungs that very closely mimics the
flu and/or pneumonia. It can be lethal to those with compromised immune
systems or to those of certain ethnic backgrounds.
Within this region, Valley Fever fungal spores live in the soil and are
made airborne with high winds....common this time of year in California.
As I understand it, Doctors often mis-diagnose Valley Fever for
pneumonia, especially if they practice outside of the region where it
normally occurs.
I'm not a doctor, but if he was within this geographic region,
especially now when it's not flu season and he has symptoms of
pneumonia, the doctors should look at the possibility of Valley Fever.
There are treatments for it.
Hope it helps......

Had the very same thing happening to me after a recent oil change.
Turns out bad connection where the wire connects to the sensor so
that before the engine got warm and running at low RPMs the light
would flicker. Fixed the connection and flicker is gone.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will check the connection today. What you
describe is what I am experiencing.
Because I have already inspected the sensor several times and replaced the
sensor, I know the bolted connection has always been tight. When you say "bad
connection" are you referring to the crimp of the wire to the post connector?
I will also re-inspect the wire routing to make sure there is not a problem
with the wire being burnt or shorting.

Frank,
Our pilot Bob Malonch had just returned from a trip to Turkey. Evidently wasn't
feeling to well on the trip home. We've heard no word from his wife the last
few days. He wasn't with us when he was stricken but was due to replace me.
Thanks for the concern.

Troops,
Stuck in Chico, CA. due weather. I'm copiloting the B-17 at this point. Its MVFR
here. We're supposed to head to Crescent City on the coast but the mountains
are obscured and icing from 8,000 to 24,000. MEA is 10,000'. We got no oxygen
and no deicing boots on "909". So we sit. Yes, yes I know the WW2 troops
did it why can't we. Well they and thousands of planes were somewhat expendable.
This B-17 is rare as well as me. ;-)
Near by is a little meausum There is Yak-52 and AN-2 in the 5 airplane collection.
Both are in pretty bad shape.
The OSH arrival procedures as Blade pointed out is still being "worked on". For
the most part the big deal is the mass arrival set for one day as part of the
show. It will behoove us all to be very careful in our planning of this particulars
sortie. Not just us but the all the other Warbird groups are involved.
Timing will be extremely important but very do able. Other formation arrival
may differ a little.
I'd love to see 50 of us (RedStar) there. My real push is to get 50 CJ-6 ready
for the 50th anniversary in 2008. The Yak guys are welcome to bring up the rear.
:)

Oh, life is a bitch! Now we holding inverted and/or flying the L-39. Ah...
but life IS GOOD with AIR under YOUR ASS! Is it not! Sorry I'm gonna miss

By the way.. where is the L-39 from? I am having an internal war with
myself over can I really afford one or is it one hell of a pipedream. What

Sounds nasty but traceable? and fixable.
On to another subject...
I had a first for me today - have not flown my Yak52 for at least 4
weeks, all the oil had drained out.
Not like a couple litres, but about all of it. The dipstick only showed
a trace on the very bottom, had to put 9 litres in to go fly. Battled
to clear the oil from the cylinders.
Must be that valve thingy in the oil supply system???
Anyone else have the same thing happen to them?

Hi
"Must be that valve thingy in the oil supply
system???"
No, probably she's just crying it all out because she
thinks you've abandoned her for a sleeker, curvier
model ;-)
How's the L-29 going?

Yup, My Yak 50 drained all 11 liters onto the hangar floor. Sometimes it
does it and sometimes is doesn't. Can't figure it out.

YAKKERS
Here's a link to a picture that details the electrical trim installation
for a 52. It's a rough drawing with no dimensions. It's .5 MB large so
may take some time to download. It should be enough information for you
to replicate the setup.
Here's the link.... http://home.earthlink.net/~yak52driver/trim1.jpg
The servo parts are from Ray Allen Company.
Aircraft Spruce and Specialty part numbers....
Servo 11-02065
Servo Relay Deck 11-02076
Hat Switch 11-02075
Trim Indicator 11-02020
If you don't already have a 24 to 12 volt converter you will need the
following part...
12V Regulator 11-02036
Pushrod Kit 11-02040
50FT roll wire 11-01579

Remove the oil check valve from the oil pump, sand the valve with 600grt
paper to polish it smooth, and reinsert it. That should stop the leak.
Then of course, she could be crying her oil out because you deserted her
for a DELFIN!

One L-29 going well. Mine is not, have problem with engine.
But the Yak is happy again - last Sunday I ignored the sleeker curvier
model and had an excellent session with the Yak that left me sweaty and
exhausted - so she loves me again...

My problem was where the wire attached to the post connector. There
was also the concern that when I changed the oil I didn't get the
three screws that hold the screen in tightened down equally so that
the screen could have been vibrating and touching at low RPM. I'll be
honest here I had Cliff Coy fix since the plane was up with them
getting new radio, rubber and attacking a few trouble some oil leaks.

Subject: MTW/OSH
MTW-OSH info
Most people are arriving on Saturday 7-23. So far 10 have
registered. I know of 2 more coming. Last year 15 registered and 21
planes showed up. If you know you are coming then register on the
web site www.flyredstar.org or email me off list so I'll have an
accurate head count.
The cookout with the local EAA chapter and the Commanches will be
that Saturday night.
Again the focus will be on mass formation for the airshow - There
will be some flights going up Saturday afternoon but the majority of
the organized flying will begin Sunday morning. Russ will be air-
boss again and will be there for the majority of the week.
The FBO has changed hands - it is now Lakeshore Aviation under the
direction of Curt Drumm. This should be a positive change and
everyone seems to be happy locally. I met with him recently and he
is very supportive of the group being there. We crossed paths last
year as he was willing to give me some help with my prop problem and
he was a super nice guy. If you have FBO questions he asked you
contact him directly. cdrumm@lakeshoreaviation.com 920-682-0043
I asked for a big supply of Philips 20w50. 100LL is 3.30 a gal now
and he said we could expect a fuel discount. Check in at the FBO on
arrival - sign in and leave fueling instructions and payment info.
prop tags will be used as in the past.
We have an RV spot on the ground in the warbird area and I have an RV
lined up for the week. I will be back and forth but spend more time
at OSH. I hope that a gathering area will attract some more
attention to the RPA and our planes. I may have my TW parked in the
warbird area close to the RV. THere will be beer and water available
most of the day at the RV. For those of you not in the mass
formations come and hang out at the RV and lets have a large presence
at OSH.
When Pappy returns I will get more details about the airshow schedule.
Hotels -
Heritage Inn - 908 Washington - Manitowoc, 54220 920-682-8271
15 rooms under RPA
Holiday Inn - 4601 Calumet - Manitowoc, 54220 866-270-5110
Car Rental -
U-save Auto - 1015 S. 26th St. - Manitowoc, 54220 920-682-8024
Luloff's - 1401 Washington - Manitowoc, 54220 920-682-0121
Enterprise - 4611 Expo Dr - Manitowoc, 54220 920-652-9994
I am waiting to see if Sergei will be available for part of the week
for acro instruction and if so then I will circulate a sign up for
times, and I will let everyone know the costs.
The application for the aerobatics box over the airport is in. I
talked to the FAA this am and we should have a certificate of waiver
soon.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I'll be bringing a limited number of RPA patches, T-shirts and hats to MTW
for impulse buyers. In the mean time, stop by the on-line store and checkout the
new "Blonde Natasha" T-shirt and the variety of new polos. For those steamy
OSH days, consider a white RPA logo ball cap rather than your hot, now faded
and worn black one. Remember, white is seasonally correct for the well dressed
Yakster. ...Blitz

I've been doing a little research on ethanol fuels and recalled a
thread on this list basically concluding that ehtanol based fuels are
a bad thing in our aircraft. I stumbled across this site and found
this. Thought it may be of interest.

It is a given that alcohol-based fuels do not have the specific heat content of
higher-octane gasolines that we use in modern piston engines. This means a higher
consumption at a given power setting using alcohol blends. That being said,
the Germans in WW-II were forced to develop new fuels after the allies knocked
out the Polesti oilfields. Their solution was synthetic alcohols. These alcohols
reduced range but vastly improved high altitude performance due to increased
oxygen content. Exactly what Allied Bomber Command did NOT need.
Fortunately for the Allies, the tide in the war had already turned.
BTW, my Ford Ranger from the Mid-west has a multi-fuel engine capable of burning
up to 85% ethanol blended gasoline. Even there it didn't sell too well so I
got it real cheap for brand new. Fat chance finding Ethanol in anything but a
bottle here in FLA!

FWIW, the cylinders on my M-14 (manufactured by Aeromotors in Romania)
are installed by the factory with no paper gaskets. Just a dry, very
thin O-ring slid down onto a VERY clean cylinder barrel.nothing else.
Has not leaked, or had studs come loose in first 350+ hours. (Hope it
stays that way!)
