There is already a critical shortage of supply of sparking plugs from Russia, although
I understand that some supplies are still available from China.
I am aware that many M14P pilots are using automotive plug conversions, and while
the automatic reaction of our CAA is likely to be negative, I think we would
have a reasonable chance if I could get good statistics on the successful use
of automotive plugs in M14Ps.
I would be very grateful if users could write to me off list stating the extent
of their experience; number of hours flown; type of flying; any problems.
Thanks in advance.

Richard,
My supply of DZ5 Chinese spark plugs remains excellent. At this time I have
300 in my stock at Omak with another 400 due in about 60 days. I will be in
China in about 3 weeks and could ship from Beijing direct to the UK if you
were in bind. Let me know if I can help.
Always Yakin,
Doug Sapp

Richard you should talk to Dennis Savarese (dsavarese@elmore.rr.com).
He's got the conversion kit for sale and most of the experience with
this conversion. I'm about to make the switch after having it
recommended to me by Sergie Boriak.

Rogoo!
The reason you have to stay around to support the Marines is they are
always getting their buts in a crack!
Guess that's the way it is when you think your on the tip of the spear!
Yeh, without us AF types what would you do for that 10,000 foot runway to
"crash land" on in the heart of the nation?
Ya'll land by arrival. We land with finesse!

Al, this "Son of Blitz" nonsense has reached yet a new zenith. While
staying with his Uncle Steve in Maine recently, my 42 year old son, John, was
mistaken for Steve's brother. Steve, of course, was gleeful -- outrageous in
a 57
year old middle aged man whose sole boast is a full head of hair. You know
this only encourages errant behavior. Steve was even seen hitting on 15 year old
Venessa at MTW before I brought him back to a sense of his duty. ...Blitz

| Subject: | Air flow testing |
--> Yak-List message posted by: "Craig Payne" <cpayne@joimail.com>
I did some tuft testing today to examine where exhaust fumes get into the cabin,
at least from an external view. The rear of the front canopy and the rear of
the aft canopy where examined for turbulent flow. Another test was performed
on the cowling vent area and flow over the wing root at gear down speeds. Results
apply to a CJ-6 but the canopy results may apply to a Yak as well.
Conclusions so far:
1. The open "slot" between the rear of the front canopy and mid-canopy does NOT
cause turbulent flow, but rather acts an exhaust for the cockpit. Laminar flow
is maintained across this region. Executive Translation: A good thing.
2. Airflow remains attached to the aft end of the rear canopy, without a large
burble in back. This was a surprise to me, I expected worse. Executive Translation:
A good thing.
3. My rear canopy skirt is sealed with a double EPDM seal to prevent leakage from
the small low pressure area behind. The problem is that that there is NO natural
vent for the rear cockpit. A vent somewhere back there could help. Executive
Translation: An opportunity for excellence.
4. At moderate alpha, exhaust flow from under the cowling is ducted sharply up
and over the wing root, mixing with air flow pushed down by the high pressure
area from the windscreen and cowling air. Executive Translation: A bad thing,
perhaps the exhaust tip extension is required for everyone.
5. Minimal airflow into wheelwells was noted with gear up in level flight. Gear
down at climb and approach speeds invited lots of turbulence. Executive Translation:
A bad thing.
More testing to be done, I'll post some pics on photoshare, My "cruise cheeks"
for the cowl can be seen to smoothly transition flow from the firewall aft. This
is an area for more experimentation.

Cliff Umscheid,
If we went to breathing O2 all the time we would run in to other problems (perhaps
Doc, could better explain). But we do need to find a better way to seal the
cockpit, or exhaust the gasses away from our aircraft.
My personnel opininon is to exhaust away as these gases are corrosive and will
eventually dammage our aircraft and our bodies.
WE may have to redesign the Exhaust system all togeather (New joints, different
lenght exh tubes, Exc).

HGU-55 type visors are keyed to a given Oxygen mask. If you don't use a mask, then
there are really good values out there. Visors sold for current issue stuff
is always a lot more. I think the HGU-68 is a winner but prices are too high
for accessories.
I use an HGU-36 which I gutted and got Oregon aero stuff for rebuild. The '-36
is a crewman's version of the '-55 but has a boom mike with cord switch for Mask
or Boom mike.

The Fall Fly-In & Clinic dates have been set. Thursday September 29th
through Sunday October 2nd. They will again this year coincide with the
local car show weekend held at KGED. We should have an actual air show
next year starring ** us **. We wish to reinforce our commitment to the
airport and local community by having our clinic at the same time as the
car show. The local airport supporters want to demonstrate the value of
the airport and by having these two significant activities, they are
able to do just that.
The format will be very similar to our Spring Gathering unless the
majority of attendees suggest an alternative program. We are working on
a new hotel in one of the local beach towns. The town is only another 5
to 10 minutes away. That provides us with a greater selection of higher
quality hotels and restaurants. Once we have hotel details, I will send
another note so that you can reserve your room.
*** Please send me an email with your contact information even if you
have attended prior events. I will send you a registration form which
will allow us to have a better idea of the needs of the group.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.
Many thanks,

Sergei saw it when I recommended it to Hubie Tolson out of New Bern who is
on the World Aerobatic Team and who is flying it on his Sukhoi 26. I helped
Hubie install it... I had doubts about the "radio noise" aspect of it. I
was dead wrong. No noise, it works flawlessly, and Sergei saw how well it
worked for Hubie and ran with it himself. AS soon as I have any problems on
my 50, it will go on mine too. Gotta love the difference in price on spark
plugs too!

Richard you should talk to Dennis Savarese (dsavarese@elmore.rr.com).
He's got the conversion kit for sale and most of the experience with
this conversion. I'm about to make the switch after having it
recommended to me by Sergie Boriak.

Folks,
Just back from AA transition training to the B737 which if anyone cares, although
less pay than my last iron horse, somehow I see the increase in seniority as
a step closer to that home, hangar and aero-plane. And since I'm on the subject,
lets once again hope for a soon to be realized end to this Iraqi mess as
I read the daily casualty reports in the USA Today while in the AA cafeteria waiting
on a sim,
Lets talk RPA and flying:
(as I will mention in this letter, email me your questions off list, I don't monitor
close enough all the time)
Newsletters, Hangar Talk Bulletins and RPA Notams: If you aren't an RPA member,
you won't get these, and the subject matter comes from you guys, so join up
- I have some excellent subject matter coming out based on RPA members inputs.
TFPR: - I get wordy here, if your not interested in this subject, skip to the next...
Transitional FPR (TFPR): Do you know what this program is all about? It started
over a year ago because we discussed how to handle FAST carded folks from other
signatories "switching" over to the RPA, or even RPA folks who were recommended
and checked (i.e. trained) outside the RPA ; and wanting the RPA FAST card
with no real exposure to the organization. Our goal was to insure these folks
who would show up and fly with YOU were standardized with our program, singing
from the same sheet of music if you will, it also allows us to insure we
all are safe formation pilots, - we have a very active event program where you
get to fly with folks you've never met. This was not a checkride; it was administered
by an RPA lead pilot using roughly the same currency (FPR) procedures
and form as you're used to. Yes "FAST" is a national program and the FAA recognizes
all signatories credentials as equals, and in spirit we do as well, but
the reality is, if I can use a SOF term, you're PC
(precious cargo) as far as I'm concerned, so if there is a way to insure your
safety without limiting your ability to have a good time, I will look at it.
But the Transitional FPR program is miss-understood in & out of the RPA, it also
falls short, well short, of what I would like to see it accomplish. The reality
is folks (RPA or not) who are not "wired in" to the events and RPA activities
have a lot of questions about everything from flight suit policy to where
to find the website...So even beyond the priority of insuring the aviator is
a safe addition to the roster, this isn't just about pumping your fist, calling
30-30-green to an ops check and keeping the wingtip on the horizon, its about
bringing on an RPA member who understands the program and the association.
On top of this, I want to insure there is no confusion that I get occassionally
about the RPA requiring a "checkride" to transition to the RPA if your already
carded, as I get now with the "TFPR" program - thi
s is
untrue. So I am discussing with the board my plan to change the current Transitional
FPR form and program to a "Familiarization Hop" or FAM (as some will recognize
from their military squadrons). The idea is our RPA FAST pilots will
help transitional members by reviewing our flight procedures and giving them
the knowledge they need (like where to find the FF&P, whats expected from an RPA
lead, how to join the association online, why we wear flight suits and XXX
signatory does not, etc.) and again to fly a Fam Hop with him/her to insure we
have a proficient and standardized aviator who will hold the RPA card and show
up to fly with you at the fly-in. This will be codified in a downloadable form
that replaces the current "TFPR" now on the website in the formation section;
it will list all the items the RPA would like the administering pilot to cover
in the FAM, both flight and ground. The TFPR form was administered only
by leads and doubled as a FPR Currency event (even if
the
transitioning member was fully current, it had the capability to update their
currency as a standard FPR), while this tool may remain in place, I'm open to
the idea of a FAM-1 (lead) and FAM-2 (wing) hop, where RPA wing pilots can administer
the FAM-2 to other signatory wing pilots wanting to transition to the
RPA. FAST Leads manage the FAST program through recommendations, currency and
training, this concept gives the RPA wing rated pilots a role in helping maintain
the RPA fast program, and doing so, insuring a standardized, safe and fun
operational environment for all. There is a need for this; we have quite a few
folks who were carded outside the RPA who are members or coming in to the RPA,
wing and lead. I did a FAM hop down in Dallas and it was a great time, meeting
folks who really wanted to expand the RPA in their regions and just wanted
critical questions answered - its a positive program with the goal of a safe,
standardized RPA where we can join together at even
ts with
complete strangers and fly formation safely; I'm sure you can appreciate that
goal. If I've confused you, don't sweat it, the downloadable form in the formation
section of the website will be crystal clear I promise.
Trail: I have received recent email on both close trail and extendid trail. Please
email me directly off list, I do not monitor the list well. If you are
actively flying in a local group, let me know what interval you are flying extendid
trail at, I want your groups opinion, not the book answer. I would like
to know the distance (bubble) you are either briefing or folks are flying and
any reasoning behind it. I also want to know if your groups are briefing hard
decks or manuever limits in your ET. Open request for information; I'm not
looking for any specific answer. No wrong answers ever, and no names, I just want
to know what local groups are finding out there in their day to day flying
and why or reasoning...
Check Pilots: We have two "home grown" pilots currently walking the plank to become
checkpilots in the coming months for our national-regional program; Kilo
who resides in OK. and flys a CJ, serves both the SC and NC regions (he also
travels beyond these regions for events) and Ski who is all but moved to TX and
will help our greatly in the SC and travels beyond as well in his Yak-52TW.
Of the active checkpilots, those who have a record of event attendance in the
RPA during the last few years, including these two new additions, four have military
flight backgrounds and two were groomed on the civil side, all are airline
pilots, and current aircraft owners. I also want to mention last year we
brought on an east and west coast checkpilot specifically for any jet work needed
in the L-29 and L-39; Doug Gillis in CA and Zach in FL. Finally, the SW region
will soon add a transitioning checkpilot from another signatory (T-34) to
help out in that active area.
Formation Waivers: I received a few emails on this. The philosophy I've always
applied is this; the waiver must be to benefit the national-regional FAST program,
and thus the membership in large, not the individuals personal desires.
To consider a waiver at this time it has to meet and or satisfy a recognizable
and critical need of the national-regional program. That applies to me and
everyone. Any questions please email me directly.
The Desert Tactical Flying and Combat Mission Planning Exercise in the California
Desert is a potentially great program that stresses flight discipline, mission
planning, professional communications, formation skills and is just plain
fun under 4 gs. The problem is the name is too damn long; send me a name for this
event, the guy or gal who wins gets a zero-comp balance on any fees for 2006.
We're talking about a name fit for the public domain by the way ;)
As you know, we had a RPAer who recently was killed in a low altitude aerobatics
accident in his Yak-52. Like every loss in aviation, its crushing, totally
unexpected, and a slap in the face that repeats and repeats for those who expect
to see their faces everyday. We are more than just a FAST signatory; every
aspect of general aviation, recreational and demonstration flight envelopes
are exercised by our members and this community; and aviators have met tradgedy
in every one of them - it's a reality of venturing beyond the confines given
to us by god and evolution; if you have safety related information on any subject,
"there I was" storys, that others can learn from and you want them in the
next hangar talk bulletin with no names included, send them to me directly.
Experience saves the lives of pilots and sharing information accelerates that
process. As Rogers closest aviator brother told me at the funeral; he would
have wanted it no other way, neither should we.
Its up to you,
fly as often as you can afford the gas, and fly safe
