Craig,
According to about 90% of the people who responded to my request for help,
you are absolutely right. The Strong chutes seem to be the way to go. I've put
two of those with the lumbar supports,zip out foam, and red star logos on my
CJ "need" list, - along with the carbon monoxide detector.
What can I say? The Yak list breakfast club is "awesome".
Thanks "Doc" for the "ditto" and Dennis for the update on the $ extra for
the Red Star. Since my membership to Red Star is being processed....of course
I MUST have the logo. (Laugh). Too bad about the customer service problem. I
hope that this was just an unfortunate isolated incident and not SOP for the
company.
What are your prices on the chutes as specified Dennis? I've also heard that
the "porosity" on Strongs is the best.
I just got back from about 10 days SCUBA diving, so I've really neglected
my emails among other things, but am catching up. While we're at it, the CJ
is still awaiting the annual and pre purchase inspection, so if you guys out there
have any other recommendations about what I should have done or added to
it while I'm at it, I would appreciate it. ( I'll have to see what I can do now,
or will do when my wallet recovers later.)
Ah Cliff, I got a real kick out of your bail out recommendation - "Stay there,
I'm going for help!" If you don't mind, I'm going to use that one. That was
hilarious. I'll just have to be sure that my friends have a sense of humor
or they won't fly with me. (Grin).
On another subject, the only other aircraft that I've ever been part owner
in was a T-34. It was so long ago that about all I recall is flying it and spending
all weekend keeping the shiny fuselage (not painted) polished.
It broke my heart when the Texan who bought it from me immediately crashed
it showing off over his ranch when he flew it home and induced an accelerated
stall. I also felt bad that he bought the farm while doing so. I've decided that
while none of us will ever achieve perfection, (speaking for myself) I will
continue to strive for it and excel at recovery if I can't avoid creating the
problem in the first place.
Nice as it was, I think that the CJ will be the best and I am certainly fortunate
in not having to deal with the problems the T-34 is confronting now.
Fraternally, - Val

Val,
I sell the chutes for $1276.00 plus shipping, which is about $25. Add $50 for
the logo. I'll have to get the latest price on the lumbar support, should you
want one. Aerobatic harness or standard harness, whichever you prefer. Delivery
time is usually 2 months. Contact me off-list should you want to chat about
the chutes. dsavarese@elmore.rr.com or 334-285-2141.
Dennis

Dear Listers,
There are just four more days left of this year's List Fund Raiser! Response has
been very good, but we are behind last year as far as the number of people
that have made a Contribution and as a percentage of the total number of subscribers.
Please remember that there isn't any sort of commercial advertising on the Lists
and the *only* means I have of keeping these Lists running through your Contributions
during this Fund Raiser.
Please make a Contribution today!

hello mark: I have written to you in the past, I have
a yak 55m the main starter valve is shut, the seals
are all gone inside and the small ruber gasket has
disintegrated and sent pieces to the air manifold
luckily we retrieve them all but I am in need of a
starter valve, I have not been able to locate one here
in usa, would like to get another as spare, the parts
look rather flimsy, if not available is there an
alternative I heard swage lok makes a ball valve that
may replace that fitting, it is the electromechanic
part that sets the shower of sparks at the same time
that pressurizes the engine with compressedair
thanks andres
