Four of our RPA pilots did a fine job. Craig Payne, Gray Pope, Fred Shadfly, and (forgive me) a stinger whose name I've forgotten. There was a goodly bunch of T-6s and 6 T-28s there. An L-19, L-17, O2 and a PT-26 made up the slow stuff. The USAF had a F-16, F-15, T-6II, and A-10 demo teams there. Nice little show with Wayne Boggs as airboss. I co-piloted the B-17 "909" this trip with Collings Foundation. Its easier to fly than the B-24J I usually fly. A crowd of about 10,000 at least. Of course I and my fellow volunteers answered the same dumb questions a buzilliam times. Everyone thinks "Bill Mitchell flew the B-24 over Tokyo"! Or point to the B-24 and tell his kid that "it was the airplane that dropped the A bomb on Tokyo". At times I wonder at the plain flat ass ignorance of people when it comes to simple history. Than they have the audacity to express an opinion on why we "charge so much" ($4.00) to walk though the airplanes. BUT I have similar problem trying to convince you turkeys out there (with much higher IQs) that the CJ is not a copy of a YAK! 'God help me. I do love it so!' Jim "Pappy" Goolsby

    Subject: Re: M14P for sale
    Ok...I am so busted... Reader's Digest version: Don brought M14PF with understanding it had Russian flange because his MTV-9-260 wide cord was built with Russian flange. M14PF has US flange, oops. Don needed prop to fly his SU-26 until new -9 arrives. We swap. He now has MTV-3 to use that fits PF (after removal of adapter) and I have MTV-9...strictly to help out a friend...yeah- right. At 100% level flight 7000' msl (over top of DIA tower) full blower 280 indicated using MTV-3 - one hour later 280 with MTV-9 - so no cruise difference. I flew the 2005 Known - starting 500' lower and finishing 250' higher than with -3 during the year- twice in a row. The variable is temp - normally say 70F during the test...40F. Maybe it was the placebo effect but it felt like I had more "tractor" at 0-low airspeeds. Please remember this was at full blower pulling 8 and pushing 5 and 100-101% on prop. Mea culpa.

    52) --> Yak-List message posted by: Roger Kemp <viperdoc@mindspring.com> Yep, you can go upstairs like a bat-out-of hell or downstairs the same way. More than one glider driver has been rudely introduced to terra firma that way. As an ex-glider driver, we looked for lenticulars and tried to approach from the west or the side opposite the forming clouds. The wind does blow from the East also out West. Saw FL 120 in a heartbeat one day and decided to exit west asap since I did not have O2 on board flying of all aircraft, Hugh Down's Grob. It was a lot of fun, but I like the YAK even more. Every now and then when I feel the bump of a good thermal on the wing tip along with seeing the VVI jump up, I will wrap it up in a 65-70 deg. bank just to play in the thermal. The YAK will climb in a thermal, believe it! If you ever have trouble climbing in a spam can on a warm day and you hit a thermal, try banking to stay in the lift. You will improve your climb rate significantly. Probably would go take a few glider lessons too though if you have no experience in that sort of thing. An absolutely great view without the shake, rattle, and roll of the YAK, just the sound of wind. For the fledgling fighter pilot ACM wanna do's, flying a glider teaches the ultimate in energy management.

Amen. About 20 years ago I was flying my Comanche eastbound across the Rockies. It was a clear day and I had a bodacious tailwind. (This is a hint.) I was at 13,000' (IFR just because) just crossing the ridge west of Great Falls, Montana, when I penetrated the rotor. (Clear air, no cap cloud, no lenticular, no rotor cloud.) I lost 2,500' in 15 seconds. (That works out to 10,000' FPM -- my VSI was pinned at 6000FPM down.). I estimate I pulled over 1G negative as everything that wasn't tied down, including my then 2-year-old son, hit the ceiling hard!. ATC thought that my transponder had malfunctioned as my altitude changed so rapidly. It puts the fear of God into you. -- Brian Lloyd 2243 Cattle Dr. brian-yak@lloyd.com Folsom, CA 95630 +1.916.367.2131 (voice) +1.270.912.0788 (fax) I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . . - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Probably would go take a few glider lessons > too though if you have no experience! That is indeed what I taught my son Cameron to do in the Clipper. Above 8000' it could barely get out of its own way. After his experience with limited climb ability in the pattern at Truckee I asked him to watch the gliders for a bit. After that we took off, located a thermal, and I showed him how to stay inside the thermal to gain altitude. He was amazed at how his anemic 300 fpm climb rate became 1500 fpm. We climbed to 12,500' and easily cleared the ridge tops on our way back to the Sacramento area. He used the technique to get the Clipper up to 13,500' at one point in his trip around the US to take advantage of some winds aloft and managed to get a 50kt push for his effort. (A 50kt push to a 95kt airplane is significant.) No reason not to use glider techniques to make your powered flying more fun and economical. And I agree with you 100%: there is nothing like learning to fly a glider to understand both aerodynamics and energy management. It improves all aspects of your flying. -- Brian Lloyd 2243 Cattle Dr. brian-yak@lloyd.com Folsom, CA 95630 +1.916.367.2131 (voice) +1.270.912.0788 (fax) I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . . - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

    I don't want to know! Might force me to an RV-8. I do save receipts but rarely look at them. If only I could leave the sucker the way I got it; then I might track what it costs. It would cost a thrifty scrounger at least $20K to duplicate the M-14P conversion and then there are the panels, the parachutes, upgrades here and there.... STOP, I said I didn't what to KNOW! On a broader perspective, liability and hull insurance are in line with any other light retract single, annuals may even be cheaper since you don't really want to go to your friendly FBO where a well-meaning A&P may miss some stuff obvious to operators experienced in these aircraft. Operating expenses are also in line with a light single, with the exception of buying oil all the time. Pulling back on those "money" levers helps a lot too. Craig Payne cpayne@joimail.com

The other way (assuming a stock 285 Housai) we let the CJ go to max RPM and Manifold pressure on the take-off roll.

    Subject: RPM
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Ernest Martinez <erniel29@gmail.com> I was doing a little formitating today when I realized I couldnt get more than 2100 RPM. I think I tried a high throttle setting but I just cant remember, I took the lead and we RTB'd. On the ground prior to shutdown I ran the engine up, and everything seemed normal. Any immediate thoughts. I'll look at the plane tomorrow. Ernie

    --> Yak-List message posted by: Ernest Martinez <erniel29@gmail.com> Cost of aquisition these days is anywhere between $70-90k for a normal CJ higer for tricked out models. I flight plan 13.5 gal an hour for cruise, 16 gal hour for formation stuff. Liability insurance is about $500 yr Maintenance if you do most of your own work about $1000 yr. Oil about $45 per change using Phillips 25W60 every 25 hours or 3 months. Engine reserve, I havent a clue. I have a spare.

    Subject: CJ Relief Tube Kit
    You see, it's like this. While the CJ has three hours of fuel, I've got a 66-year-old, two-hour bladder -- shorter if I've had iced tea for lunch. And no, I won't give up the iced tea. So, I was browsing through www.Banaire.com (click "Pilot Supplies" in the left column), when I noticed a Relief Tube Kit. Eureka! The question, however, is where to install the venturi on the underside of my CJ. Way aft would seem rather draggy, and, well, obvious, while somewhere amidships would atomize the belly, requiring a hosing, no pun intended, post flight. So what have any of you other old guys done? One final thought. I fully intend to employ this device while overflying Dave King's house. ...Blitz

    Subject: CJ Relief Tube Kit
    do not archive Blitz, You of all people, a resident of the Socialist Republic of San Francisco, should know that the tree hugging socialist EPA'its will smack you with all forms of fines for pollution of the SRSF atmosphere and landscape! When they fully come to understand the true chemical makeup of the Yellow Haze you chose to aerosolize over the demented citizens of SRSF, it will not be good. When they figure out that you, a resident of the liberal Socialist Republic of San Francisco had willfully in full command of all your facilties including a fully overdeveloped prostate and suffering from overflow incontience, did willfully with malice pee on the citizens of SRSF, oh,man, you will get it. You will be splashed with their full wrath. Why if they had a handgun, they would shoot you down! They, however lucky for you, did vote away the right reciently to bare hand held firearms. Man when they find out that you ,a card carrying citizen of SRSF, did willfully yellow haze the bay fog. The 9th district will hang you with your hooter hose from the highest flag pole in the SRSF! Pee slowly my friend as you stream over SRSF, not that you could any other way with that enlarged prostate. Now maybe if you dribble slowly, it will take them longer to figure it out. That is you are peeing on the citizens of SRSF with malice. Drip slowly, Blitz, least you get in the same trouble EAL got in over eastern Kentucky in the 70's. "Accidentally purging" over the eastern landscape. Seems they left a trail of frozen purple turds and pee over a hundred mile swath of the Kentucky landscape. Why some of those ignorant, sorry, innocent folks thought they had purple ice in August! Now that gave new meaning to tinkle on a tin roof! It was more like a solid "thunk" followed by tinkle! Hum...an idea strikes...hey, try this...dilute your overflowing bodily fluid with MMO (another use in the search for 101 ways to use MMO). Yeh, that's the ticket... instead of yellow haze, you will have purple haze! Why heck, the good dwellers of the liberal compound at Berkley will be in absolute glee! Aerosolized Purple Haze from above! "Purple Haze...Purple Haze..." But remember, MMO is considered to be carcinogenic in California. So don't throw caution or for that matter, pee in the strong wind least you get something on you. Doc ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: Yak-List: CJ Relief Tube Kit You see, it's like this.

    NOW, About this relief tube thing. Blitz, Are you the author of this dillema? Did you know this device can be adapted for Jills as well as Johns? And times are changin. Most of us are already apprised of a "VAL" in our midst, So what has heretofore been LARGELY a male problem is now variations in human plumbing designs. Man! ain't diversity grand ? In any case, if we uns are to avoid joining the ranks of the "wet backs" let us look to the good ole days of iron birds and men of steele who bore holes in the sky in SB2Cs, TBMs and F4U Corsairs--all were equipped with relief tubes which could, under no circumstances, be allowed to interfere with the tail hook. There were a lot of things you could pee on in the Navy, but no matter how scared you are, don't pee on your tail hook and don't pee on your parachute because these things could literaly save your arse. And you sure don't want to piss off the rigger who repacks the chute. He likes to put his hands on DRY silk or nylon when he does his repacking thing. In any case, if you want to keep the belly of your CJ free of acedic spray, buy a length of clear plastic 3/8th inch inner diameter hose and a reel , and a small diameter funnel which you will fasten to the end of the hose in such a manner as to allow the funnel to catch the prop blast much like a drogue chute, and pull the hose toward the tail of the aircraft to the extent that you have reeled out the tube. Needless to say, be certain you have reeled out ALL the hose so that there are no kinks or coils left unfurled to obstruct or imPEEd the free flow of the discharging liquid . The importance of this last caveat will become "distastefully" obvious to you when the blocked tube fills with undischarged liquid and you open the canopy in flight. Hope this helps those in need, and the glory of it all---No 337 form required. Cliff On Wed , 16 Nov 2005 01:37:57 +0000 ggg6@att.net writes: DREAMER !!!!

    Maybe it was the placebo effect but it felt like I had more "tractor" at 0-low airspeeds. Please remember this was at full blower pulling 8 and pushing 5 and 100-101% on prop. When we switched our Su 29 to the Wide Chord we had exactly the same sensation. Nothing that we could measure but it sure felt like it was pulling more. Gotta love that placebo effect!
