As a long time NATA pilot and short term Red Star pilot, I am still trying to make
up my mind over which plane to bring to SNF.
I agree with Ernie, I would love to see all the Warbird groups together both on
and off the field. The old guard heavy iron drivers could use a little infusion
of your "youthful enthusiasm" (especially Pappy's}. The Yakker's have garnered
respect with their impressive formations at OSH and would be more than welcomed.
Come on, I'll bring my CJ

Lades and Gents
A couple of weeks ago I put a note on the yak list regarding frozen prop
blades (unable to adjust pitch)
I can now advise you of the findings the prop has been striped and inspected
we found the sleeves that the blade
Screw into had frozen on the nylon bush just after the oil/grease seal.
It took a considerable amount of work to remove the castellated nuts and one
could not be removed with out totally stripping
Of the centre of the hub.
My question to the list has any one ever had this type of failure, do you
all leave your props parked on the horizontal so water can not enter the
bushing area. This CJ sits in a hanger it had been flown in rain once and
only gets washed using car wash
It has not had any other types on solvents near it.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated
Mike Beach
