    Subject: YAK-18A
    From: "PEYRACHE Patrick" <Patrick.PEYRACHE@cote-azur.cci.fr>
    This rare bird (less than 10 flying in Europe and FSU) has an original IVCHENKO AI 14 R 260 HP engine. Engine and airframe correctly preserved, without any corrosion and with a low time engine, it can be a very rare opportunity to get a historical aircraft genuinely restaured to historical standards. Range is more than 3 hours. Genuine cruise speed is 250 KMH. True useful VNE is 357 KMH, which permits a lot of (positive) aerobatcs fun up to that speed. Lots of parts are common with the 52 and CJ .... Who could ask for anything more ? -----Message d'origine----- De : owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] De la part de cjpilot710@aol.com Envoy=E9 : mardi 8 novembre 2005 02:31 =C0 : yak-list@matronics.com Objet : Re: [Norton AntiSpam] Yak-List: YAK-18A =09 =09 =09 In a message dated 11/7/2005 6:33:58 P.M.

The CJ was almost 15 kts faster with the 260 HS6 engine. Yea the cockpit looks like a CJ's, but systems don't make a aerodynamic shape which determines performance. And the CJ is different and far more efficient. Come on guys you'r just trying to pull an old man's chain. It's late and I'm going to go play with my wife. So there! ! ! !

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Tom Johnson" <tomjohnson@cox.net> This valve at the output of the compressor with the banjo fitting. . Isn't this removed and cleaned at the annual every year? Sure cuts down on compressor problems if completed. TJ

    DAY!
    Subject: Re: NOTE : YOU WILL WIND UP WITH A LOOSE POPPET VALVE ONE
    DAY! --> Yak-List message posted by: Bob Fitzpatrick <rmfitz@direcway.com> Frank, Not all 52s are the same. Mine is a 93 model and it has a flex hose downstream of the metal line. I would assume a parts supplier could provide this. If you make your own be aware the metal coil is there to dissipate heat from the compressed air so you don't want the flex going all the way to the compressor. bob 52BN Frank Haertlein wrote: > CAUTION..........M14P owners and YAK-52 Drivers.............YOU WILL > WIND UP WITH A LOOSE POPPET VALVE ONE DAY! > > My recent air compressor problems were traced to a loose poppet valve > on the compressor output line.

    Subject: NO-FLY ZONE
    I warned you all about this before, see http://www.freeskies.org/ <http://www.freeskies.org/> This is becoming a reality here in the NE. Coming to an airport near you soon. Now even if Federal law is on your side you still need to provide yourself with a defense if they go after you. This group is at the for front of fighting this fight if you value your freedom to fly put a price on it and donate to the defense fund. Remember talk is cheap legal defense costs money. If the first case is won with a resounding success, by us, the idea will hopefully die. If not those nimbies around your airport will gain strength from the success and maybe come after you. These people are organized, they have not much going on in their lives so the sit, ruminate, plan, scheme and act. We, unfortunately are so busy having fun and flying that we assume that they spend as much time worrying about this stuff as we do, that is a mistake they are obsessed with this stuff. Given that recent performance of the FAA for proving the total lack of gonads in the fight against challenges to it's authority (Meigs, TSA, aerobatics boxes requiring environmental studies etc etc) it is down to us to do their job for them. If you think that "it's ok I will just fly and someone else will spend the time looking after me" then you deserve to have your flight freedom taken away. We need to take a leaf out of the NRA playbook. We are an autonomous collective, we do not have a central point around which we can organize. Well hell in the early days neither did the NRA but nobody would doubt the influence that they have today. Regardless of your views on their cause you have to admire the way they do business. As pilots we are scared, scared to make too much noise, no pun intended, scared to stand up and be counted. Now the response to the ADIZ NPRM comments is a perfect example of this. Some may say that the 16,000 comments thus far is a success, I say it is a disgrace. Out of all the pilots that hold US licenses only 16,000 care enough about the right to fly to do even this small thing to protect it. I despair, we are sunk, we do not deserve to fly if we can be that apathetic about such an important matter. The kids that you see at the airport next time you fly just go over and tell them that when they grow up they will not be able to fly because you chose to do nothing when the right to fly was threatened, I am sure they will understand. Frustrated beyond belief. Gus _____ From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of gpa Subject: Re: Yak-List: NO-FLY ZONE Yeah, it's from the surface to 3,000 feet. So lets see, if our extremist flies over Disney in a painfully slow 172 and decides to dive straight down it will take him, what? One to two minutes to hit ground zero? The rationale for this TFR is a farce. The tragedy is that Disney, a private corporation, has managed to grab federal airspace for itself for it's own ends. Near where I live we have a city that passed an ordinance that requires anyone flying over the city at 3,000 feet or below to first obtain a city permit. The city's jurisdiction is preempted by the FAA of course but that didn't stop the City Manager from passing what is basically an unenforceable ordinance. I've heard that when the nimbys complain enough, a police officer goes out to the airport and hands out "warning" tickets to the landing pilots! I understand there are several city's in Florida that have also passed similar ordinances. If this DC ADIZ goes through it will set a precedent and I think a lot of cities will move very quickly to get their own permanent flight restrictions in place.

    Subject: RPA Vote on new By-Laws and RPA news
    Folks, Member or not, please take a read... If your a member of the RPA in Calendar year 2005 or beyond, please read this informative email on RPA 2006, if your not a member, I would take a gander as well at RPA news below, behind the scenes we've been working to improve the association...Please respond off list by replying directly to this email, thank you. 1. By-Law Election is on now through December: If you are an RPA member with active membership in the calendar year 2005 or beyond, yesterday an E-Com was sent out to our database of members providing a link to Vote online for or against the new Organizational structure (By-Laws). - If you believe you are an active member of the RPA by this definition but recieved no voter ballot yesterday, go to www.flyredstar.org for voter instructions there. Here are two other solutions: - Check your email software spam folder for any email with "RPA" in the subject line - The following emails "bounced", if you see your old email address here, you need to log on to the website and update your email address with the RPA to recieve future e-coms (if you recognize an old friends email here you may want to give him a heads up): RVatorN513J@msn.com randairetv@aol.com dastrawn@mindspring.com taildraggr@msn.com cweller9@netscape.net sabrina@gesoco.com granty@bigpond.com.au n777ze@comcast.net bennett@knology.net cmason@csonline.net steveflyfast@aol.com jsfox@adelphia.net vernricks@microsped.com No system is perfect, we had a member on the unsubscribe list that says he never requested that, so I respectfully publish unsubscribes and dates, if this is innacurate, just email me off list to correct: yakflt@aol.com 2005-06-20 psalter@aol.com 2005-10-17 jokeefe@frontiernet.net 2005-10-28 The BoD approved the bylaws Nov 6th to send to members for approval, a lot of work went in to them to solve organizational issues that hampers any volunteer operation of this scope. You can download and read the highlighted by-laws on the public side of the web site to get an idea of these changes. Other RPA news: 1. Website to be redone/simplified: Over the winter we are going to rework the look and navigation structure of the RPA website to make it simpler to use and more information on the public side. We all want it easier for folks to grab the information they need, I especially want "event registration" to be a one-click, public side access, no brainer, as this is a service to our regional event organizers. 2. E-Coms: Ashley Battles has volunteered as Editor in Chief and will head up distribution of all "E-Coms" in 2006. The goal is to insure they get out on schedule and contain the information interesting to members. This includes the Qtrly Newsletter, Training Bulletin "Hangar Talk", Technical Service Bulletin "Metrics", Pre-event bulletins, Periodic Member NOTAMS and Election Ballots. She is a Wing Walker performing in airshows and is aquiring a Yak 52. Please note: I've gotten requests for more technical publications/information. She and the RPA will need members/owners out there to provide technical column content for the "Metrics" Newsletter. If you would like to volunteer to work with Ashley in 2006 in providing column information, as a writer, etc.on any product, email her at pilotashley@hotmail.com E-Coms are an effective communication tool, but like all services, it relies on a base of active volunteers. This is a very creative area of the association, if you want to join the writers & content providers pool, email her. 3. RPA Events and National Coordination: We have Formation Team Challenges at events on the west coast and east coast, what is missing is some national scoring standards to bring them together for national ranking and perhaps recognition at the new annual membership meeting in the bylaws. This is one concept for the National Event Coordinators office. Zoe Albrecht, who works for Team Red, has volunteered to help coordinate the efforts of this office. Zoes primary goal is to publish a member wide pre-event bulletin for all members to stay abreast of upcoming event information and insure the online event info is accurate, yet with some volunteer assistance much more can come from this unique office. Jim Goolsby is writing the national formation team challenge scoring standards, and this could expand to everything from Bomb Drop standards, best in show, crud scoring, etc. Zoe will be provided a special events page on the website to post/tally such information as we redo the website. If you would like to volunteer w here you can in the NEC, email Zoe at Zalbrecht@datatechnique.com 4. Regional Directors: If the by-laws pass, a short nomination period for 6 new regional directors will take place. Look for that if you would like to run regionally for the RPA board of directors, we have a healthy list now, but please consider running. Regional elections will take place in the first month of 2006. The regional map is located on the website home page. 5. National Directors: We have 3 National director slots up for grabs for a June-July election. That nomination period will open this month (Nov) as per the proposed bylaws. Two ways to run for the board under the new system, regionally or a limited number of nationals. 6. Terms of election and overlap: Under these bylaws, if approved by you, future board elections will run with (6) Regional elections first , then a year later (3) National elections and the following year this combined board will elect the Executive Officers (Pres, Vp, Treasurer and Secretary). This overlap process notionally starts from base year July 2005 with three year terms for all. You can do the math from there. The delay is due to the By-Law writing and ratification process. 7. Sponsored Airshow Mass Formation Teams I don't want to go too in-depth on this now until its closer to execution, but a few motivated RPA members to be identified in a later E-Com/E-mail, are spearheading a program to place RPA volunteer members at the annual ICAS convention to man a booth for our signatory. Their goal? To promote and schedule the RPAs own regionally managed and deployed airshow mass formation teams collectively under one name, "RedStar". This is a new system of interconnectivity with ICAS and the airshow organizers/industry and more info will go out in future E-Coms to the members on program details and requirements to join such deployable airshow teams as those folks developing the program move forward. So thats it for now, again, if you want to join the writers pool its Ashley, or help expand the National Events, its Zoe, take care and fly often, fly safe. Drew Blahnick From the RPA President & Board of Directors ---------------------------------

    NE DAY! Frank, I have been saying that for a long time, but the argument I got back was that the steel circle in the original line was "needed". I disagree with that view, but to each their own. The Sukhoi model aircraft use exactly the right length line to their smoke system. I can't remember whether it is the left smoke line, or the right smoke line (to the stack) it is, but one of them replaces that steel line you mention PERFECTLY. I took my measurements from a SU-26.

    Subject: YOU WILL WIND UP WITH A LOOSE POPPET VALVE ONE DAY!
    Tom, I have been running my YAK-50 for close to 6 years now and I HAD to KEEP messing with that Banjo all the time... when I finally got it to where it would not come loose... POOF... the steel line broke. I believe I managed to move the weakest point to the line instead of the Banjo! This EXACT same thing happened to Hubie Tolson with his original 52, and now AGAIN with the 52 he just bought from Vladimir. ALL of the Sukhoi's use a Flex Hose instead of rigid. ALL OF THEM... 26's, 29,'s, 30 series, etc. I put on a flex hose 3 years ago and have not had a problem since. I used the Flex hose off a Sukhoi 26 smoke system, and posted a message about it here. I also do NOT take the banjo fitting off and clean it every year. When I had the problem with the banjo fitting, I only cleaned the poppet valve itself once. So, I have cleaned the poppet valve once, and have put a flex hose on it 3 years ago. The aircraft now has a total of over 600 hours on it, with the same original compressor. It still works perfectly. On the other hand.... the 52 that has the rigid line on it has come loose so many time, the threads in the compressor base where the banjo screws in are WORN OUT.... even though the compressor is still good, it now needs replacement. I really do not think it is a wise idea to remove the whole banjo to clean that poppet once a year. I put it in with a lifetime thread locker compound and with the flex line, have not messed with it since. An interesting question would be this: Many people have rigged up an unloader for the compressor at the snot valve, so that after they reach full pressure in the bottle(s), (bottles in a 50, bottle on a 52) they can open this up and allow the compressor to work against no head pressure. The idea is to extend the life of the compressor. On the flip side of that coin is that now, with the compressor working against no head pressure, the operating conditions of that poppet valve have been changed. Changed to WHAT, I am not exactly sure, but there is definitely going to be a temperature differential greater with no head pressure than there would have been with the head pressure, plus other factors. I do not have an unloader. I also have a flex hose. I have had NO compressor or poppet valve problems at all since the install of the flex line (or before for that matter). Just my 2 cents Tom, but I personally am not going to rip mine apart every year just "because".

    NE DAY! Sorry to post so much about this, but I have to disagree with what you said Bob. My opinion is that the coil in that line is not there to dissipate heat, but to provide a degree of movement between an engine vibrating in it's mount and a fixed firewall. Regardless of who is right or wrong about the heat issue ...... the facts are these: ALL of the SUKHOI's use a flexible hose.... going all the way from the compressor to the snot valve. This is done from the factory. The compressor and snot valves are identical between the YAKS and SUKES. I have done the same thing with my 50 for years now with no problems what-so-ever, and I do not run an unloader. Mark Bitterlich p.s. How many other 52 owners have a combination line?

    Subject: Re: NO-FLY ZONE
    The People's Republic of Boulder tried this a few years ago. Ticketed, fined, and incarcerated a local entrepreneur flying banners over Folsom Field (CU Buffs football stadium). FAA (then...) filed an amicus curii (sp?)brief with the Boulder Court stating the pilot is operating in Federal airspace and leave him alone. That was then...this is now...I guess. Rick b >>> catfsh4u@bellsouth.net 11/7/2005 10:41:42 PM >>> Yeah, it's from the surface to 3,000 feet. So lets see, if our extremist flies over Disney in a painfully slow 172 and decides to dive straight down it will take him, what? One to two minutes to hit ground zero? The rationale for this TFR is a farce. The tragedy is that Disney, a private corporation, has managed to grab federal airspace for itself for it's own ends. Near where I live we have a city that passed an ordinance that requires anyone flying over the city at 3,000 feet or below to first obtain a city permit. The city's jurisdiction is preempted by the FAA of course but that didn't stop the City Manager from passing what is basically an unenforceable ordinance. I've heard that when the nimbys complain enough, a police officer goes out to the airport and hands out "warning" tickets to the landing pilots! I understand there are several city's in Florida that have also passed similar ordinances. If this DC ADIZ goes through it will set a precedent and I think a lot of cities will move very quickly to get their own permanent flight restrictions in place.

    Val, No sweat. Fly safe and remember after awhile to check 6. There are plenty of T-6's, RV's, and other CJ's (and atleast one 50) out there that wants to jump your 6. Saddle up for a guns shot that would be (no pune intended). Just give them a wing rock or an aileron roll to signify your saw them an are not playing, then press on with what you were doing. One day you will feel comfortable enough with your stead to want to turn with them. Maybe some of the ol' fart fighter pilots on the west coast will have taken the time to show you how to maneuver the aircraft in the ACM arena. Anyway, fly safe and Check 6, oh and most of all, enjoy that CJ. I like them too....just not as much as my 52!

    Subject: YOU WILL WIND UP WITH A LOOSE POPPET VALVE ONE DAY!
    I think we might be talking about two different valves here Dennis. One POPPET type valve is located inside of the BANJO assembly found directly screwed to the compressor itself. This has been the valve under discussion. Personally, I believe this is more of a one way check valve than a poppet valve. I called it that because everyone else was too, but in retrospect it should more accurately be called a one way check valve. My belief anyway. The POP-OFF valve (that I believe you are talking about) is located after the snot-valve and of course is set to maintain the maximum allowable pressure. If you open the Snot Valve after allowing all tanks to fill, a small in-line check valve will prevent aircraft system pressure from being relieved through the snot valve, however the compressor will now vent directly to the outside through the opened snot valve and will not be working against any head pressure. The idea here is that the compressor will now be basically "free wheeling" and will last longer because "it is not working as hard". I am not really sure you gain anything by free wheeling a mechanical compressor or not. I do not have a degree in mechanical engineering and the stresses involved are over my head to mathematically theorize. It does seem to make sense that the compressor piston rings would not have as much wear when working against zero back pressure... but then again...... ???? You tell me. Mark Bitterlich -----Original Message----- From: A. Dennis Savarese [mailto:dsavarese@elmore.rr.com] Subject: Re: Yak-List: YOU WILL WIND UP WITH A LOOSE POPPET VALVE ONE DAY! Just my 2 cents - once the pressure has built up to the preset pressure of the "pop-off valve" or pressure relief valve, all excess pressure is being dumped overboard through the pop off valve. So why do you need to open the snot valve? Dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: Bitterlich GS11 Mark G <mailto:BitterlichMG@cherrypoint.usmc.mil> Subject: RE: Yak-List: YOU WILL WIND UP WITH A LOOSE POPPET VALVE ONE DAY! Tom, I have been running my YAK-50 for close to 6 years now and I HAD to KEEP messing with that Banjo all the time... when I finally got it to where it would not come loose... POOF... the steel line broke. I believe I managed to move the weakest point to the line instead of the Banjo! This EXACT same thing happened to Hubie Tolson with his original 52, and now AGAIN with the 52 he just bought from Vladimir. ALL of the Sukhoi's use a Flex Hose instead of rigid. ALL OF THEM... 26's, 29,'s, 30 series, etc. I put on a flex hose 3 years ago and have not had a problem since. I used the Flex hose off a Sukhoi 26 smoke system, and posted a message about it here. I also do NOT take the banjo fitting off and clean it every year. When I had the problem with the banjo fitting, I only cleaned the poppet valve itself once. So, I have cleaned the poppet valve once, and have put a flex hose on it 3 years ago. The aircraft now has a total of over 600 hours on it, with the same original compressor. It still works perfectly. On the other hand.... the 52 that has the rigid line on it has come loose so many time, the threads in the compressor base where the banjo screws in are WORN OUT.... even though the compressor is still good, it now needs replacement. I really do not think it is a wise idea to remove the whole banjo to clean that poppet once a year. I put it in with a lifetime thread locker compound and with the flex line, have not messed with it since. An interesting question would be this: Many people have rigged up an unloader for the compressor at the snot valve, so that after they reach full pressure in the bottle(s), (bottles in a 50, bottle on a 52) they can open this up and allow the compressor to work against no head pressure. The idea is to extend the life of the compressor. On the flip side of that coin is that now, with the compressor working against no head pressure, the operating conditions of that poppet valve have been changed. Changed to WHAT, I am not exactly sure, but there is definitely going to be a temperature differential greater with no head pressure than there would have been with the head pressure, plus other factors. I do not have an unloader. I also have a flex hose. I have had NO compressor or poppet valve problems at all since the install of the flex line (or before for that matter). Just my 2 cents Tom, but I personally am not going to rip mine apart every year just "because".

Isn't this removed and cleaned at the annual every year? Sure cuts down on compressor problems if completed. TJ

    RE: Yak-List: YOU WILL WIND UP WITH A LOOSE POPPET VALVE ONE DAY!Mark, My comments about the pop off valve (not the poppet valve which I also call an output check valve) were related to your statement, "Many people have rigged up an unloader for the compressor at the snot valve, so that after they reach full pressure in the bottle(s), (bottles in a 50, bottle on a 52) they can open this up and allow the compressor to work against no head pressure."

I think we might be talking about two different valves here Dennis. One POPPET type valve is located inside of the BANJO assembly found directly screwed to the compressor itself.

I called it that because everyone else was too, but in retrospect it should more accurately be called a one way check valve. My belief anyway. The POP-OFF valve (that I believe you are talking about) is located after the snot-valve and of course is set to maintain the maximum allowable pressure. If you open the Snot Valve after allowing all tanks to fill, a small in-line check valve will prevent aircraft system pressure from being relieved through the snot valve, however the compressor will now vent directly to the outside through the opened snot valve and will not be working against any head pressure. The idea here is that the compressor will now be basically "free wheeling" and will last longer because "it is not working as hard". I am not really sure you gain anything by free wheeling a mechanical compressor or not. I do not have a degree in mechanical engineering and the stresses involved are over my head to mathematically theorize. It does seem to make sense that the compressor piston rings would not have as much wear when working against zero back pressure... but then again...... ???? You tell me.

Tom, I have been running my YAK-50 for close to 6 years now and I HAD to KEEP messing with that Banjo all the time... when I finally got it to where it would not come loose...

    From: Cliff Umscheid <netmaster15@juno.com>
    Steve, If that's the way you want to go, then here's the route; you can do it with a corporation or an LLC. 1) Form a corporation--check the library if you are ubfamiliar with the process. I suggest you domicile it in Nevada, if that is NOT your home state you will need a resident agent. If you don't want to pay him an annual fee, then form the corp. in your home state and YOU can be your own resident agent. 2) Place the aircraft title in the name of the Corp. or the LLC, ie, register the aircraft in the name of the corp. etc 3) Have the corp pay you X number of shares for the aircraft. Now, instead of YOU owning the aircraft the Corp. owns it and YOU own some shares in the Corp. When the aircraft is to be sold, the Corp. sells it (not you) and the Corp. receives the money from the purchaser. 4)Don't forget to have the Corp. file a tax return each year , one for the Feds and one for the State. 5) Don't forget to hold an annual meeting for the shareholders. 6) Don't forget to hold an annual meeting for the Board of Directors. 7) Don't forget- YOU don't own that airplane any more, the Corp. Owns it and the Corp. has to give you permission to fly it . If you start treating it as your own private toy you set the stage for some all powerful Circuit Judge to "Pierce the corporate Veil" and then you have lost all your carefully crafted legal immunity.

    Subject: RPA members - HTML Email problems
    Folks, Ocassionally in the past I get email from members on the E-Coms that they can't see the written content, or that they can't see the pictures or header art imbedded in these products. Let me try to help, Our E-coms are "HTML" based, the same code used in any typical web page (forget ASP and other code types in this discussion), but in this case these 'web pages' are sent directly to your email inbox instead of you having to open a browser manually and going to the www to view...very convenient... However, your email software, especially modern versions, have many user-defined options under "preferences" designed to protect you from spam and "snooper" software. Several of these options if selected effect your ability to view HTML based email! Thus it may affect your viewing of RPA e-coms, such as: - It will not allow you to recieve HTML based email (we have resolved this just recently by sending a text only version automatically with the HTML version, in this case you would see only words, no images, header art, custom fonts, etc., but the words are there to be read) - If it does allow HTML email to be viewed, it may not allow the images to be downloaded for viewing in the messages. You will see typically a red X where an image should be. As an example, Yahoo email user-defined security preferences can cause either or both of these issues. But again, in most cases with fairly modern email software programs, you can modify these preferences to resolve these display issues. Please email me off list on this if need be, Thanks, Drew ---------------------------------
