Funny thing is, I agree with you.
What I don't agree upon is that, somehow, the creation of this
intermediate structure is going to magically create more people to do
the work and to create more volunteers. We now have a *regional*
coordinator. Now we can put on fly-ins we couldn't put on before!
"Mr. Regional Coordinator, may I put on a fly-in?"
"Yes you may."
"Mr. Regional Coordinator, may I write an article about flight safety?"
"Yes you may."
"Mr. Regional Coordinator, if I fly my airplane in a safe manner, may I
wear anything in the cockpit that makes me comfortable?"
"No you may not."
> All RPA staff are volunteers. So, yes, ohh yee little Brian
> spunt, the vote does affect RPA's organizational abilities and thus

Nope, it does not. As I said, there will be those who will make things
happen. They do not depend on an organization. They see something they
want to do and they do it. Like Craig and Pappy did for MTW for so many
years. Others will want to participate and they will coordinate amongst
themselves. It will get done. Layers of "management" will not make that
work better.
So, let me get this straight: without a hierarchical organization, it is
not possible for people to work together to achieve what they want to
achieve? Without a regional "coordinator" we cannot put on a fly-in?
Without a regional "coordinator" we cannot publish useful information?
Without a regional "coordinator" we cannot do formation training?
And these layers of bureaucracy we are creating will be able to tell us
what to do "for our own good". Fortunately we have the RPA to tell us
that, not only can't we put on an event without their approval, we must
wear our flight suits too. <sigh> I already have the FAA, DHS, and TSA
to tell me what I can and can't do. But I guess there aren't enough
people telling us what to do and how to fly that we have to create more
ourselves.
As I said, funny things happen when one calls into question sacred cows.
We are so used to working within hierarchical structure that we think we
need to create the same kind of structure in order to accomplish
anything for ourselves.
Once upon a time there was a man who worked very hard for a city keeping
it beautiful. His favorite job was keeping the brass cannon at the front
of the City Hall polished and gleaming. It was said that no one could
polish brass like this man.
But the man became restless. His pay was low and he wanted to have more
things in life so he decided to start his own business. He quit his job
and took out his life savings ... and bought his own brass cannon.
You know, I think we should make the RPA symbol a red star with a brass
cannon in the middle.

I seem to remember that when I first joined the YAK Pilots Association there was
one person that put out a news letter with all sorts of valuable information
in it. There was maintenance info, problems found info, and how to info. Now
we have Red Star, a large group, sometimes we have a news letter, that is mostly
FAST info, where did all the good information go? It seems the only place
to get the good info (over voltage modules, plug wire harnesses, engine problems,
etc) is on the YAK-LIST. I agree with Brian an organization itself does
not produce anything. I am treasurer of an organization and the financial statement
contains amounts spent, where spent, income, and balance, I think the
one I just saw for the RPA was a little short.

Hi YAK community world wide.
Just in case your wife did not buy or you did not find the right a/c for your
wife as a present I have the just the deal your looking for :>))
A perfect flying and well restored YAK 18A all details here, sold in Euro but approx 63,000 USD http://www.yakuk.com/yak18a.asp
When you hear that the "Chinese copy" sells for twice that price you can see
what a bargain this is, a bit of flying history that will turn heads at any show
or fly in.
We are acting as broker on this a/c and its only offered for sale due to unfortunate
family reasons.
seasons greetings to all, mark
www.yakuk.com
ps, who spotted the joke? :>))

Gotcha! You shouldn't drag your chain around where someone can step on it! Being
absolutely Politically Correct, I just couldn't miss anyone :>)
I believe Kwanzaa was invented by a professor from Governors State University in
Chicago as a celebration of ethnic roots kinda thing. I confess to not knowing
much more than that but there used to be a great rib place nearby...Sooo, that
makes me an expert in todays world.

Ever hear the old Chinese story about which are the better birds, hawks or
doves?
Hawks are furious predator. They fly very fast and are quick in the kill.
And like all predators they are loners. They do not hunt nor flock together.
Of course doves flock together. They eat what they can of the earth; worms
and seeds. They too are fast flyers. Not as fast as the hawk of course but
much more maneuverable. And while in a flock the stronger faster and more
maneuverable birds have a better chance of surviving an attack from the hawk.
Thus the hawk does himself in. He takes the weaker birds, leaving the
stronger swifter and birds with more agility. Since these birds flock together,
mating produces more doves with these attributes. (The Chinese noted Darwin's
observations before he did.)
Thus for the hawk it becomes harder and harder to kill doves. Than one day,
usually in the dead of winter, the hawk can't catch the doves. They are still
not as fast but now far more agile. The hawk starves to death, falls from
his lofty perch on to the hard snow and come spring the doves eat the worms that
fed upon the hawk.
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherent the earth." Sound familiar?
And it's still not your problem. :)
Merriest of Christmas, Happiest Hanukkah, and Great New Year to all.

okay brian, you've put a lot of time into these emails so this must be
something you feel strongly about. why don't you write a positive note,
without any personal attacks, about what you would like to see in "an" RPA.
or do you just want it to go away?
what the hell is a "spunt"?

Gang,
Does anyone have a easy way to change out the bungee cord on the canopies of a
YAK-52. Mine has streched and become frayed. The RCP portion of the chord and
cable attachment looks pretty straight forward.. it is getting to the FCP protion
above and behind the instrument panel on the left. That appears to be the
hard part.
Anybody have a 3 foot midget with 6 inch fingers that can slide up into that space?
That is my after Christmas project..along with a few other things to get ready
for Waycross! Shane you did order warm front for that weekend, did you not?

Doc, Pappy and Happy "Listers",
I lived in South Africa, Botswana to be exact, for nine months and never
heard of Kwanzaa either. There were,however, many who celebrated Christmas there.
When did celebrating Christmas ever become such an issue anyway? What's
with this new politically correct "Happy Holidays" thing? It's just another beautiful
celebration that we can all choose to participate in or not.
I don't hear those of us who do trying to tell anyone else that they can't
say Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, or anything else that they choose. This is
a free country....isn't it? The whole thing would be ridiculous if the mind
set of those behind it didn't worry me.
Since I'm having a pretty good time up here on my soap box voicing my personal
opinions, I'll add that rules for society are the glue that keeps us all
from living in caves and eternally fighting and killing each other over a haunch
of meat and WHO gets to live in the cave. We're lucky if we get a voice in
forming the rules.
We don't have the fangs, fur, claws and other things it takes to survive
nature on our own. We need each other for that....and "ain't it wonderful" when
it works. Without the ability to pool our vastly different talents, THERE WOULD
BE NO CJs - YAKs - or FORMATION FLYING! "Aaargh!"
What a horrible thought.

I don't think intolerance and ignorance are in the true spirit of this holiday season. If you'd like to learn more about Kwanzaa then you can go to http://www.tike.com/celeb-kw.htm (or one of the many other websites). You're right, you won't see it celebrated in Africa, because it is not (and never claimed to be) an African holiday.
Before you attack another man's traditions you might first think about your own
traditions and where they came from. Every tradition has humble beginnings.
If you don't know where your traditions originated then you might be surprised
to find out. You might also think back to the year 1966 and the civil rights
struggles in this country. It was only one year earlier that Congress voted
to remove voting restrictions which were designed to make it more difficult for
blacks to vote in the south. Two years earlier three civil-rights workers,
working to register black voters, were brutally murdered in Neshoba County Mississippi.
Etcetera, etcetera. The backlash was seen in the creation of militant
groups like the Black Panthers but it was also seen in the creation of Kwanzaa,
which emphasizes progress through high self-esteem, family, community,
faith and peace.
If I were an African American and a celebrator of Kwanzaa and I read what has been
said by some of you about my holiday, then it, without doubt, would reinforce
my belief that bigotry and intolerance still thrive in this country - thereby
reinforcing the racial gap that so many people have fought so hard to close.
Try to show a little sensitivity and respect this holiday season - and all
year long.

Doc
It's been years since I did mine but as I remember you CAN get to the attach
point under the instrument panel.
Also, I made the bungee cords myself by taking a 3 or 4 inch piece of
aluminum tube and inserting the bungee into it. I then crimped the aluminum
tube in such a way that the bungee was securely held. Flatten one end of the
tube and then drill a hole in it. Voila, you have just created a home made
bungee cord end. Do the same with the other end of the bungee cord and you
will have a dirt cheap repair for your canopy retract system.

I write on a positive note quite regularly, especially when I feel
positive. When it comes to RPA I don't usually feel very positive so my
notes on that topic tend to be less so.
(And that because I do not feel positive about the organization doesn't
mean that I am not wildly positive about most of the people who go about
volunteering their skills to help others in the name of RPA.)
> without any personal attacks,
What personal attacks? If I were going to call Frank Haertlein an idiot
I would have said something to the effect of, "Frank, you are a
blank-minded blathering idiot." I didn't. Subtlety is not my bag. Ask
the others who have been on this list from the beginning.
> about what you would like to see in "an"
> RPA. or do you just want it to go away?
Funny you should ask that question. As a member of RPA (I paid my $37
just so I could say those words) I think it is headed down the road of
becoming yet another invasive and limiting organization that exists for
the self-aggrandizement of the "inner circle". Every time I think about
RPA I keep thinking about Orwell's "Animal Farm."
There is one thing that absolutely sticks in my craw. It is a small
thing but it is symptomatic of a larger problem. This is the issue of
"thou shalt wear a nomex flight suit". The reasons are couched in terms
of safety to somehow make them acceptable but they are just another way
of a group telling an individual "we know better than you do". Whether
or not I wear a flight suit has no impact on how I fly or whether I am a
hazard or an asset in a flight. The whole concept of freedom is to allow
people to make their own decisions about how they choose to live their
own lives. I have analyzed the risks and have determined that, in the
heat of summer, the risk of needing to survive a flash-fire in the
cockpit is a heck of a lot less than the risk of heat and dehydration on
my performance. Except I don't get to make that choice.
So what does RPA buy me?
Let's see ... it does buy Drew "firing" Jeff Linebaugh for some strange
reason. I never did understand that one. I was staying at Pappy's house
when the call came in. Pappy got rather agitated. Seems Drew had "fired"
Jeff as association safety officer for some reason. (The intimation was
that it was personal but I just don't know.) Now all I know is that, for
as long as I have known Jeff, all he has ever tried to do is help people
operate their aircraft safely. His well-known "EP" postings are
respected and everyone I know of looks forward to them. They are always
a challenge. So why would Drew need to fire Jeff, a volunteer just
trying to help others understand and operate their aircraft safely
(without getting invasive and tell them what they *must* do)? I dunno.
So we have the inner cabal "firing" volunteers and making bad decisions
for me in the cockpit. It sure doesn't feel good to me.
So to answer your question, no, I don't care if RPA lives or dies. If
RPA wasn't here there would still be people putting on fly-ins and there
would still be people helping other people with their airplanes. As far
as I can tell, its only real use is to act as a shell upon which we can
hang our FAST affiliation. And that is not a bad thing. We need that.
Fortunately we have Pappy and Mike "Blade" Filucci keeping that going. I
suspect that even without RPA we would find a way to keep our FAST
affiliation going.
Oh, and I have to pay an extra $10 to get my FAST patch every year. At
least I get something for that $10. What is the other $37 for? The web
site? I don't think I have ever used it. My $20 *donation* to Matt seems
a much better use of my money. And he doesn't even require I pay in
order to use the resource. He just requests that we help him keep this
service going if we feel moved to do so. (OK, so he says it loudly about
'leventy-'leven times. :-)
So go vote on the RPA bylaws change. I did. I did it mostly to see how
they decided to do the web stuff for voting. Interesting. The result of
the vote itself strikes me as singularly unimportant but that is just
me. You might feel it is critical and therefore I encourage you to take
it seriously. In short I urge you to exercise your freedom to act or to
say "no".
> what the hell is a "spunt"?
I was wondering the same thing. It doesn't show up in my dictionary. I
just assumed it was chosen to sound like an epithet without actually
being one. You know, an insult that, when analyzed closely, can't really
be said to be an insult but everyone knows what was meant. (Wink wink,
nudge nudge.)

PAPPY and DOC,
Re this Quanza business and getting duped by a black ex con. The social
vommit that spews from the mouths of
black activists falls upon the highly fertilized ground found in empty
liberal heads occupying today's college classrooms--especially in schools
of journalism and social studies. You won't find it in the school of
engineering
or the mathematics department or computer science classes. It flourishes
in the affirmative action classes created for the purpose of bestowing
college degrees upon the heads of mediocrity, who then find their way to
employment in the high visibility jobs of broadcasting and TV Journalism
or Advertising.
Meanwhile, China and India each crank out more than 1,000 science and
engineering graduates for each such grad. the U S Universities produce.
How long will our preeminence last in the fields of Engineering, Science
and Medicine? I fear the consequences to our country of the mediocrity
produced by affirmative action , white liberalism and an insane
preoccupation with diversity by the latter. All of this overlying a
Federal government which refuses to guard the country's borders or to
enforce its immigration laws. I'm going to enjoy flying my YAK 50 while
I still can before the politicians give the airspace away to the ADIZ
smoking bureaucrats.
Pappy and Doc , I salute you both for the principles you hold and
the courage you evidence in your posts. Red Star Pilots will flourish as
an organization with such members as yourselves. But I grieve with worry
for the future of our country where politicians sell their vote in order
to perpetuate their tenure in office.
Regards,
Cliff Umscheid

It seems to me that for an organization like Red Stars we really should
have regional representation. For example, if you fail to vote for the
current bylaws then RPA will not have regional representation. I think it
would then fall on the National coordinators (guys like Drew) to organize
EVERYTHING. I doubt they are going to do that for all regions of the
country on a continuing basis. Bottom line is few will devote a majority
of their time and effort for free so you have little choice but to divide
those responsibilities regionally among willing volunteers.
All RPA staff are volunteers. So, yes, ohh yee little Brian spunt, the
vote does affect RPA's organizational abilities and thus your flying
activities as part of an organized group.

Mark, Season's Greetings and MERRY CHRISTMAS,
As you suggested, I'm thinking about my own traditions and where they
came from. My ancestors kept slaves; so did George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson and many Senators and Representatives of the day. In fact, Our
beloved Thomas Jefferson was into slavery in a big way; he fathered
several children by his domestic black slave
"Sally". He also authored the phrase "All Men Are Created Equal". He was
a true white liberal. But I don't think that he could be described as
"intollerant or ignorant", your words as used below. You sling words
around pretty loosely when you characterize anyone's post as intollerant
or ignorant; you exacerbate that bit of overreaching by presuming to
lecture the list on the history of civil rights in this country. Perhaps
you consider yourself an authority on the subject and the constitutional
provisions affecting that issue. In that case, tell us what provisions of
law EFFECT the enactment of such civil rights. Tell us also, if YOU have
personally played a part in the "fight to close the racial gap that so
many people have fought so hard to close".
Now, before you get started in the wrong direction, pay particular
attention to the 13th, 14th and 15th amendment to the US constitution.
Does that confuse you? FYI, 13 freed the blacks; 14 made them citizens
and 15 gave them the right to vote. Did YOU know that? If you're going to
lecture us, get a more solid foundation to stand on. Reference to Neshoba
County, Miss. and this drivel about the black panthers ain't going to
hack it here
Happy Quanzaa Mark. The class looks forward to your next lecture.

I don't think intolerance and ignorance are in the true spirit of this
holiday season. If you'd like to learn more about Kwanzaa then you can
go to http://www.tike.com/celeb-kw.htm (or one of the many other
websites). You're right, you won't see it celebrated in Africa, because
it is not (and never claimed to be) an African holiday.
Before you attack another man's traditions you might first think about
your own traditions and where they came from. Every tradition has humble
beginnings. If you don't know where your traditions originated then you
might be surprised to find out. You might also think back to the year
1966 and the civil rights struggles in this country. It was only one
year earlier that Congress voted to remove voting restrictions which were
designed to make it more difficult for blacks to vote in the south. Two
years earlier three civil-rights workers, working to register black
voters, were brutally murdered in Neshoba County Mississippi. Etcetera,
etcetera. The backlash was seen in the creation of militant groups like
the Black Panthers but it was also seen in the creation of Kwanzaa, which
emphasizes progress through high self-esteem, family, community, faith
and peace.
If I were an African American and a celebrator of Kwanzaa and I read what
has been said by some of you about my holiday, then it, without doubt,
would reinforce my belief that bigotry and intolerance still thrive in
this country - thereby reinforcing the racial gap that so many people
have fought so hard to close. Try to show a little sensitivity and
respect this holiday season - and all year long.

It's been years since I did mine but as I remember you CAN get to the attach point
under the instrument panel.
Also, I made the bungee cords myself by taking a 3 or 4 inch piece of aluminum
tube and inserting the bungee into it. I then crimped the aluminum tube in such
a way that the bungee was securely held. Flatten one end of the tube and then
drill a hole in it. Voila, you have just created a home made bungee cord end.
Do the same with the other end of the bungee cord and you will have a dirt cheap
repair for your canopy retract system.

Subject: Yak-List: Canopy bungee Cord
Gang,
Does anyone have a easy way to change out the bungee cord on the canopies of a
YAK-52. Mine has streched and become frayed. The RCP portion of the chord and
cable attachment looks pretty straight forward.. it is getting to the FCP protion
above and behind the instrument panel on the left. That appears to be the
hard part.
Anybody have a 3 foot midget with 6 inch fingers that can slide up into that space?
That is my after Christmas project..along with a few other things to get ready
for Waycross! Shane you did order warm front for that weekend, did you not?
