Your statements are correct, but probably misleading. Alcohol has less heat
(energy) per pound than avgas (which is a high octane fuel), but the two
have nothing to do with each other. Octane is a measure of a fuel's
anti-knock properties and NOTHING else. Kerosene (jet A, diesel) has a
very low octane and higher specific heat (more energy per pound) than 100LL,
115/145, or any other gasoline.
Another important characteristic is vapor pressure- essentially a liquid's
propensity to evaporate. Alcohols evaporate at lower temperatures/higher
pressures than gasoline, which is bad for carbureted engines.

I was under the impression that it took more energy to grow the corn than
we're getting out of the corn.
Jon
Probably not more energy, but a lot for diesel to plant, harvest and
transport the fuel, natural gas to make fertilizer, and oil for the
pesticides and herbicides. On the positive side, some of the world's best
politicians are bought and paid for by Archer Daniel Midland. That is a
positive, isn't it?

T-6s and T-34s have a type certificate and commercial use is therefore
allowed. As for Iskra's and Aero Vodochodys, some commercial activity is
allowed- the prohibition is against carrying passengers (or cargo) for hire.
Flight training is a gray area. ACM flight are training are instructive
aren't they? Maybe, if this, if that...
You can hire an expensive lawyer to weasel his way through the regs, or you
can just ignore them. The feds are pretty busy fighting terrorism and can't
be bothered with the little things.

Walt,
The same thing happened to me about 2 years ago. I had done a MAG
check, flown for 2 hours landed put the plane to bed. Next day during
runup, mag 2 was dead.
Culprit was a broken point spring. I had a little pool of oil in the
mag cavity just under the spring. Dont think it had anything to do
with it.

Friends:
Been a while since I've posted an insurance update.
As many of you know, I've started my own insurance agency.
Always looking for business so would appreciate any referrals.
The Yaks and Nanchangs as a whole have posted an impressive turnaround since
2004.
The number of incidents and accident has been very "normal" this year.
A direct result of training and dedication on behalf of the operators.
We're heading into the busy part of the year now.
Rocky Mountain Fly In is coming up (I'll be there in my Yak).
OSH is coming up and many other events. Let's all work to continue this
trend.
Other news, with my new company I do have access to at least one new
insurance underwriter.
They will be more of a market for the experimental jets than pistons, but I
am investigating both now.
Fly Safe.
Tj

So, too all those I offended or mis-understood. I apologize. My rant
was not directed at anyone in particular, but at what I felt from the
message traffic. I'll slink into the background once again.

hey guys,
If we bask in our other warbird drivers problems we may bring it back on
ourselves. Sooner or later one of our guys is gonna rip the wings off one
of these birds and the FAA is going to calling at our door. These are
outstanding warbirds from every angle I can think of. I know we have been
treated like redheaded stepchildren by the T-6 and T-34 community. We were
the elcheapo warbirds at the air shows. Now the table has turned and by
default we are now on center stage. The T-34 and T-6 guys are seeing the
value of their toys go down because they did not police their kind. The
guys in our ranks that are going out an over G'ing these birds in ACM are
fooling themselves if they think pulling 10 G's (and I have heard it
said...not seen it up close) on a regular basis will not damage those wings
have another thought coming. It may take 5-10 years to happen, but it will.
The guys that are trained in ACM know pulling G's (big ones) in a fight
only means you screwed the fight up and are about to die.Now you gotta yank
the wings off to save your but from the deaf at the black board in the
debrief or having to buy the first round at the bar. Besides high G hurts
me (I'm old Fart now).
People are learning how good these airplanes really are and we are showing
them through our training that we can fly them to the same or higher
standard. And, because we have so many out there now, we are showing up in
large numbers. It is our turn to be cordual, hold our heads up and continue
to the airshow participants what we are made of. Because we AINT the red
headed step child anymore. Those going to OSH, be nice to our less
fortunate brethern and go out an give them a big flyby.

Sorry for the typo's... was having brain farts between cases. The deaf
should have been defeat. In the next paragraph "and continue to show the
airshow..." would have been the correct choice for the fill in the blank.
No ranting here, no insults intended by what I wrote earlier, and I'm
really not trying to piss anyone off (probably have though). Anyway we are
now running with the big dogs...so act like big dogs.
Fly safe and chec 6,
Doc

I admit it, I am new to "experimental" aircraft. The FAA wants something
called operation limitations or some such thing. I have look through the books
that came with my Yak but am at a loss. The FAA is oh so helpful. Anybody have
any suggestions of where to go for this?????

Pete,
All Yak 52's, when their Special Airworthiness Certificate was issued, had a
set of Operating Limitations issued by the FAA Inspector (or a D.A.R. if
he/she did the certification inspection). The OL's must be carried in the
aircraft at all times as well as a current Program Letter listing the events
the aircraft would be attending during the current year.
If the aircraft has the Special Airworthiness Certificate, then I'd
recommend you go back to the previous owner and ask him where the OL's are.
The Special Airworthiness Certificate and OL's are inseparable. Regardless
of whether or not you can find the OL's, a new Special Airworthiness
Certificate and OL's will be issued by the FAA because the home base airport
stated in the previous set of OL's is changed to your home base airport.
The FAA does not issue just OL's. If the aircraft is relocated, then the
Special Airworthiness Certificate AND the OL's must be reissued. No
exceptions UNLESS different wording was used in the OL's and accepted by
either the FAA inspector or the D.A.R.
You will need the registration (N number) in your name before any Special
Airworthiness Certificate and Operating Limitations will be issued by the
FAA (or D.A.R.). So be sure to get that transfered to you first.
Dennis
