    Subject: Official Yak-List Usage Guidelines
    --> Yak-List message posted by: dralle@matronics.com Dear Listers, Please read over the Yak-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete Yak-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Yak-List.FAQ.html Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator ****************************************************************************** Yak-List Usage Guidelines ****************************************************************************** The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Yak-List. You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the Yak-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. Yak-List Policy Statement The purpose of the Yak-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established: - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing. - Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by List members promoting their respective products or items for sale should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to everyone, including those who provide products to the entire community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists. ------- [This is an automated posting.]

    Subject: Re: Rule 1 in aviation is fly the airplane.
    Sara, I believe the Flight Attendant requirement is one per 49 passengers. 50 to 99 passengers requires 2 F.A.'s. That's why the regional jets, which typically have between 40 and 49 passengers only have 1 FA. But I could be wrong. Dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: Sarah Tobin To: yak-list@matronics.com Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 9:52 PM Subject: Re: Yak-List: Rule 1 in aviation is fly the airplane. Actually your number of flt attendants is way off. Only 1 flt att is required for each 30 seats. So, if you are on a CRJ, odds are you have 1 flt att only. Granted terrorist haven't hijacked sm a/c, but what is to stop them from doing so...might even be easier w/ less people...that is why the 9-11 terrorist chose those particular flts...low pax rates at that hour to those destinations. The FAM program is actually being scaled back too. There are not enough FAMs to be on board even 1/10th of the flt that are in the US at any time. During the daylight hours in this country, we (NORAD/FAA) are tracking more than 20K a/c that are sqk'n and on flt plans. Granted many are charter, etc, but you can imagine that the majority are part 21 and in no concievable way could there be a FAM on each flt. I am all for arming the pilots with tazers and/or guns. Many pilots have refused a nd it is not madatory, but I can tell you that I can't imagine any prior military pilot, that is used to carrying an M9 into combat, wouldn't under current conditions, want to carry a gun. We, as servants of uncle sam are all required to maintain quals in the M9 and/or M16 every 1-3 years. I am quite sure that these pilots that are FFDOs are rigorously trained in the tactics of using their weapons as well as appropriate actions to take, i.e. when to leave the secure cockpit and risk going into the cabin and thereby risking cockpit breaching. They are not going to end up like the dudes on 9-11 and get their throats slashed trying to do their job. I say we give them a fighting chance and let them protect their lives, their pax and their aircraft. The FAM portion of the TSA is the real failure. Bored guys, riding around for 16 hours a day on an a/c or sitting in a terminal, trying to blend in, mandatory to stay awake, ugh...no thanks! Smash Ron Davis <L39parts@hotmail.com> wrote: So why doesn't the FFDO fly the plane and let the passengers kill the terrorists? Even if the 100-300 passengers failed to subdue the five terrorists, the plane would remain under control (e.g. NOT crash into a skyscraper) and all would be well. Or we could put two sky marshalls on the plane. It can't be done, you say? No airliner takes off without two pilots and at least three flight attendants. How is it possible to mandate that and not be able to mandate two sky marshals? Cost? Cops come cheaper t han airline pilots, so if the flight can afford two pilots, how much would the trip total cost go up with two sky marshals? A percent or two, maybe. The FFDO program is as poorly conceived and implemented as the rest of the TSA's post-911 panic reaction.

    From: "Tim Gagnon" <NiftyYak50@msn.com>
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Tim Gagnon" <NiftyYak50@msn.com> Actually, an airplane with more than 19 seats requires a FA. Thats why the Beech 1900 is so popular. We (Continental Express) operate the EMB-135 (37 seats) and EMB-145 (50 seats) and we have one flight attendant. I the magic number for 2 FA's is 51 to 100, then 1 for every 50 past that. Back to the original thread. I was at first opposed to the pilots being armed because the security of the cockpit is paramount. For a pilot to use his/her weapon in the cabin would open the cockpit up to a threat. Now, I think a weapon in the cockpit is more like nuclear weapons, they serve as a deterrent. I have yet to attend the FFDO, but I have heard the training is INTENSE and very thorough. The training is conducted mostly by former federal agents and SpecOps types. You are issued your own weapon (H&K USP Sub Compact LEM .40) and are required to requal every six months. That too is changing and will make the requal more stringent. Also, the FFDO program is now under direct control of the FAM program. All in all, it is another step in protecting our aircraft from those that would do us arm. As a side note, there have been concerns with regional aircraft. Since they do only carry one FA, they are a target. Be careful though, regionals have the greatest number of armed pilots..especially here in Houston! Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=8956#8956

Almost as clever as me! Let's form the clever people prefix for our discussions. I was trying to find a creative solution to people wanting to be able to sort through their mail more quickly. You can make up any prefix you want. People will look at it and probably understand. The more information up there the easier it is for someone to decide whether to read or hit the delete key. But if you are talking about an M14 it doesn't matter if you have a CJ or a Yak. Put [M14] in the prefix and others interested in the specifics of the M14 will have a clue that they might be interested in reading that message. The key point is that the subject line is there to help the reader know what she might get when she opens the message. Right now there are about three different discussion threads going on under the topic of "Radium" and "Going after overzealous Feds". I know that none of the current threads have anything to do with Radium or Feds overstepping their authority at this point. -- Brian Lloyd 361 Catterline Way brian-yak at lloyd dot 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

    A friend of mine has this super simple but seemingly effective foam cover which fits over the stock CJ air screen. If your unit is structurally sound you could just fit this over it and be done. I'll ask him and post since I've been meaning to buy one for my airplane. Nothing worse than changing your oil and finding grass seed in there.

    do not archive When I'm out with my buddies I'm in private company, conversations come up that are of interest to those involved. I dont bring a megaphone with me so the entire restaurant is forced to hear me. I guess that you could counter that the other people in the restaurant could just leave if they dont like or care about what I'm talking about, but that would be selfish. Having an off topic conversation on an internet list forces others who dont care about your conversation at the very least to have to filter their subject lines rather than look forward to reading something of interest about the topic they subscribed to this list for in the first place. Additionally, off topic conversations fill the archives with junk that people will need to filter through, and wastes disk space. The ratio of relevant vs irrelvant information on this list has gone off the scale, and not in a favorable direction. Also relevant posts are usually rather small with respect to word count. These political diatribes are usually pages long, and then the problem gets exacerbated when follow up posts contain all the previously posted information creating an exponential increase in bandwidth utilization.

    First let me thank the folks who offered advise. I did find that I needed the check valve on the firewall but that didn't fix the problem. All the other check valves and shuttle valves were fine. What I found after blowing out the lines to the rear gear valve was that I had a restrictor in the left gear line but no restrictor in the right gear line. This restrictor had hole of about .0030 in and could have been blocked by a grain of sand or such. I removed the restrictor and the problem is gone! Again, Thanks for the help. Terry Lewis

If you want FAA papers with the tanks the price is $95.00 each. They will accept UPS etc. and return them the same way. So price will be $50.00 each plus UPS both ways plus FL sales tax.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jim Bernier" <JBernier@dart.org> Ernie If you are getting grass seeds in the oil, you need to place a filter over the two pressure vents on top of the engine. But you are right. Sand will pose a problem with the screen/cheese grater filter. I took the screen filter off my plane and placed two foam tube filters at the rear of the intake structure. They become active in the Aux position. In the air at cruise speed I get the full ram affect, and on the ground I get clean air to the engine. But the foam has a problem if the engine backfires. It tends to burn. The heat from the exhaust does not bother the foam. So if I can be sure that it won't backfire, then its no problem. I'm looking for something like a K&N filter. But until then the foam will do the job. Jim B >>> erniel29@gmail.com 02/02/06 10:58 AM >>> Do you know what brand he was using? My buddy, here has had no issues what so ever.

In engineering terms "BS" is the product of bandwidth utilization (B) and storage required (S). The high utilization of bandwidth and storage for useless information is an example of "high BS".

Actually your number of flt attendants is way off. Only 1 flt att is required for each 30 seats. So, if you are on a CRJ, odds are you have 1 flt att only. Granted terrorist haven't hijacked sm a/c, but what is to stop them from doing so...might even be easier w/ less people...that is why the 9-11 terrorist chose those particular flts...low pax rates at that hour to those destinations. The FAM program is actually being scaled back too. There are not enough FAMs to be on board even 1/10th of the flt that are in the US at any time. During the daylight hours in this country, we (NORAD/FAA) are tracking more than 20K a/c that are sqk'n and on flt plans. Granted many are charter, etc, but you can imagine that the majority are part 21 and in no concievable way could there be a FAM on each flt. I am all for arming the pilots with tazers and/or guns. Many pilots have refused a nd it is not madatory, but I can tell you that I can't imagine any prior military pilot, that is used to carrying an M9 into combat, wouldn't under current conditions, want to carry a gun. We, as servants of uncle sam are all required to maintain quals in the M9 and/or M16 every 1-3 years. I am quite sure that these pilots that are FFDOs are rigorously trained in the tactics of using their weapons as well as appropriate actions to take, i.e. when to leave the secure cockpit and risk going into the cabin and thereby risking cockpit breaching. They are not going to end up like the dudes on 9-11 and get their throats slashed trying to do their job. I say we give them a fighting chance and let them protect their lives, their pax and their aircraft. The FAM portion of the TSA is the real failure. Bored guys, riding around for 16 hours a day on an a/c or sitting in a terminal, trying to blend in, mandatory to stay awake, ugh...no thanks!

Even if the 100-300 passengers failed to subdue the five terrorists, the plane would remain under control (e.g. NOT crash into a skyscraper) and all would be well. Or we could put two sky marshalls on the plane. It can't be done, you say? No airliner takes off without two pilots and at least three flight attendants. How is it possible to mandate that and not be able to mandate two sky marshals? Cost? Cops come cheaper t han airline pilots, so if the flight can afford two pilots, how much would the trip total cost go up with two sky marshals? A percent or two, maybe. The FFDO program is as poorly conceived and implemented as the rest of the TSA's post-911 panic reaction. --------------------------------- ---------------------------------

    Subject: Re: Rule 1 in aviation is fly the airplane.
    OK, another non-related to Yaks question, but a good one and dear to my heart. A question for you Ron... are you an FFDO? It doesn't sound like it from your brief assessment of how we work. You are right that cost is always in question whenever safety comes into the picture. That's why we have pilot unions to fight the bean counters in DC and at our airlines on behalf of safety, and they rely on our opposition as a counter balance. I have a dear friend who is a FAM and the TSA is working to par them down as well since the public outcry re: 911 is dying down a bit. Airlne pilots had to fight tooth and nail to get our FFDO program because the Airlines would rather pass up the deterrent value than face a possible, but unsubstantiated liability issue should we use bad judgement. In answer to your query about why the pilot doesn't fly the airplane and let the passengers deal with the terrorists... (1.) This is just another emergency/abnormal where one pilot always flys the airplane and the other (FFDO) "deals" with the emergency. This is a useful deterrant and makes all of us, FFDOs or regular pilots, less of a "soft target" which is what the bad guys always go for. (2.) The event where an FFDO has to act is a last ditch extreme measure where cockpit intrusion is imminent. Terrorists research our behavior in great detail and know the psycological as well as strategic measures that they intend to use against passengers and crew. They are very patient and typically wait 5-8 years between attacks. (3.) Passenger intervention as well as more Air Marshals is highly desireable and necessary, but we can't count on it. The FFDO program is not perfect, but it's getting better all of the time because we are always working on it as we get more experience, and more pilots are participating on their own time yearly. The TSA itself is not necessarly a friend to the Air Marshal or the Federal Flight Deck Officer program, but please don't throw the baby out with the bath water. These are good and necessary programs and any support that we can gather from the community will be greatly appreciated and paid back in Spades. Thanks, -Val Valkyre1 wrote: > O.K.

I thought you were implying that you planned to kick-ass on the bad guys with your own two hands (and feet). I like my clunky old 1911A1 but it is a bit large for concealed carry. OTOH, you can just keep it in your flight bag and then just carry at the ready in case you have to go aft. What do they have you using to prevent overpenetration? I use hydra shock but was thinking that a very high velocity frangible plastic bullet would be good in the cabin of an aircraft. > "Valkyre out" and nope, I still don't owe a steak dinner yet, not until > someone starts viably turning that stuff back into safe energy."

    The restrictors are used to reduce the flow, not the pressure. Removing the restrictor only causes the landing gear to move way to rapidly, much like blowing the gear down with the emergency system, which has no restrictors in the lines. My suggestion is to put them back in place. FWIW.

I did find that I needed the check valve on the firewall but that didn't fix the problem. All the other check valves and shuttle valves were fine. What I found after blowing out the lines to the rear gear valve was that I had a restrictor in the left gear line but no restrictor in the right gear line. This restrictor had hole of about .0030 in and could have been blocked by a grain of sand or such. I removed the restrictor and the problem is gone! Again, Thanks for the help. Terry Lewis

Actually your number of flt attendants is way off. Only 1 flt att is required for each 30 seats. So, if you are on a CRJ, odds are you have 1 flt att only. Granted terrorist haven't hijacked sm a/c, but what is to stop them from doing so...might ev en be easier w/ less people...that is why the 9-11 terrorist chose those particular flts...low pax rates at that hour to those destinations. The FAM program is actually being scaled back too. There are not enough FAMs to be on board even 1/10th of the flt that are in the US at any time. During the daylight hours in this country, we (NORAD/FAA) are tracking more than 20K a/c that are sqk'n and on flt plans. Granted many are charter, etc, but you can imagine that the majority are part 21 and in no concievable way could there be a FAM on each flt. I am all for arming the pilots with tazers and/or guns. Many pilots have refused a nd it is not madatory, but I can tell you that I can't imagine any prior military pilot, that is used to carrying an M9 into combat, wouldn't under current conditions, want to carry a gun. We, as servants of uncle sam are all required to maintain quals in the M9 and/or M16 every 1-3 years. I am quite sure that these pilots that are FFDOs are rigorously trained in the tactics of using their weapons as well as appropriate actions to take, i.e. when to leave the secure cockpit and risk going into the cabin and thereby risking cockpit breaching. They are not going to end up like the dudes on 9-11 and get their throats slashed trying to do their job. I say we give them a fighting chance and let them protect their lives, their pax and their aircraft. The FAM portion of the TSA is the real failure. Bored guys, riding around for 16 hours a day on an a/c or sitting in a terminal, trying to blend in, mandatory to stay awake, ugh...no thanks! Smash Ron Davis <L39parts@hotmail.com> wrote: So why doesn't the FFDO fly the plane and let the passengers kill the terrorists? Even if the 100-300 passengers failed to subdue the five terrorists, the plane would remain under control (e.g. NOT crash into a skyscraper) and all would be well. Or we could put two sky marshalls on the plane. It can't be done, you say? No airliner takes off without two pilots and at least three flight attendants. How is it possible to mandate that and not be able to mandate two sky marshals? Cost? Cops come cheaper t han airline pilots, so if the flight can afford two pilots, how much would the trip total cost go up with two sky marshals? A percent or two, maybe. The FFDO program is as poorly conceived and implemented as the rest of the TSA's post-911 panic reaction.

    Subject: Re: gear problems
    Terry, Perhaps it was a bit of dirt/goop/whatever....or you just bled that line down for now. I put new restrictors in the gear lines; at BOTH ends, actuators and valves. However I sized the holes at .040" to reduce the chance of small pieces of grit clogging a line. Also put one on the handle side of the up lines. No more "Wham" down into lock , just a slow, orderly transit to the lock position and then a "snick" as all lock at the same time. OTOH, the nose still seems to lag on the gear up swing.

    This might make some terrorist think twice. Then again, maybe not. It's good anyway. Val will especially enjoy it. http://www.barry.fireflyinternet.co.uk/fun/files/pilot.htm Dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: Valkyre1 To: yak-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 1:30 PM Subject: Re: Yak-List: Rule 1 in aviation is fly the airplane. OK, another non-related to Yaks question, but a good one and dear to my heart. A question for you Ron... are you an FFDO? It doesn't sound like it from your brief assessment of how we work. You are right that cost is always in question whenever safety comes into the picture. That's why we have pilot unions to fight the bean counters in DC and at our airlines on behalf of safety, and they rely on our opposition as a counter balance. I have a dear friend who is a FAM and the TSA is working to par them down as well since the public outcry re: 911 is dying down a bit. Airlne pilots had to fight tooth and nail to get our FFDO program because the Airlines would rather pass up the deterrent value than face a possible, but unsubstantiated liability issue should we use bad judgement. In answer to your query about why the pilot doesn't fly the airplane and let the passengers deal with the terrorists... (1.) This is just another emergency/abnormal where one pilot always flys the airplane and the other (FFDO) "deals" with the emergency. This is a useful deterrant and makes all of us, FFDOs or regular pilots, less of a "soft target" which is what the bad guys always go for. (2.) The event where an FFDO has to act is a last ditch extreme measure where cockpit intrusion is imminent. Terrorists research our behavior in great detail and know the psycological as well as strategic measures that they intend to use against passengers and crew. They are very patient and typically wait 5-8 years between attacks. (3.) Passenger intervention as well as more Air Marshals is highly desireable and necessary, but we can't count on it. The FFDO program is not perfect, but it's getting better all of the time because we are always working on it as we get more experience, and more pilots are participating on their own time yearly. The TSA itself is not necessarly a friend to the Air Marshal or the Federal Flight Deck Officer program, but please don't throw the baby out with the bath water. These are good and necessary programs and any support that we can gather from the community will be greatly appreciated and paid back in Spades. Thanks, -Val Valkyre1 wrote: > O.K.

I thought you were implying that you planned to kick-ass on the bad guys with your own two hands (and feet). I like my clunky old 1911A1 but it is a bit large for concealed carry. OTOH, you can just keep it in your flight bag and then just carry at the ready in case you have to go aft. What do they have you using to prevent overpenetration? I use hydra shock but was thinking that a very high velocity frangible plastic bullet would be good in the cabin of an aircraft. > "Valkyre out" and nope, I still don't owe a steak dinner yet, not until > someone starts viably turning that stuff back into safe energy."

    Russian Maintenanse Schedule has a large section devoted to seasonal maintenanse. Preparations for spring/ summer operation among other items require removal of gills. When gills are removed, don't forget to put fillets to the front inner parts of cawling covers. Happy summer flying.

Since I have the Crowder spinner in place now, I'm watching it all very closely. Another problem I have noticed on cowls without gills is that the cowl skin UNDER the lower mounting brackets tend to crack through around the bracket that holds the "donuts" the pins go through. Doublers on the skin are required.

Tim mentioned my experience in regard to flying without gills, so I thought I would bring my experiences in this regard to light. There have been a number of people who have replaced the gill system with the IRIS system, and the conversion is fairly simple. One thing to keep in mind is that there are two different types of systems for controlling the IRIS. The original system found on most Sukhoi 26's and their ilk used two cables in semi hard tubes that each fed to a round wheel on the IRIS itself. In the cockpit there is a control LEVER that pulls on one cable at a time... obviously as you pull on one cable (and put it into tension) the other moves backwards and is slack and at that point the wheel on the IRIS pulls keeping it taught. Just picture two cables attached 180 degrees apart to the outer rim of a wheel and you'll get the picture. The newer method (and more preferable by far) is found on the newer SU-31's, and uses a HARD TUBE PUSH/PULL ROD very close to what controls the original YAK prop and gills. If you get the NEWER IRIS, you should be able to use the existing YAK control that comes on the aircraft that used to control your gills. Ok, now the bad news. My YAK-50 came with the Les Crowder big spinner mod. (I mean as in HUGE.. looks good though, and I have been told that this is really a YAK-18T spinner, but I don't know for sure). Anyway, this mod required all the gills to be removed. So, when I originally bought the aircraft, it had 110 hours on it since new, and away I went... no gills, no problem, who cares anyway? After about 150 additional hours or so, I started getting all sorts of cracking on the cowling leading edges. Then the hollow tubes that the front of the top and bottom cowling are riveted to, started cracking too. This problem became more serious as time went on, because at the same time, the little red tubes/struts that hold the cowl MOUNTING ring in place started to crack and break TOO! These are the little adjustable things that bolt to the front of each cylinder and go straight out to the cowl mounting ring. At the time, I could not imagine what was causing all this. When my cowl was closed, it closed fairly firmly on the front cowl ring I just described above. I thought this might be the problem so I loosened everything up. Wrong Answer. The problem got worse. I put soft fabric material between the mounting ring and the cowl ring.... this helped a little, but it could still easily be seen that things were just vibrating too darn much. I might also mention that my two bladed prop was also out of balance quite a bit. Balanced the prop.... and that helped, but did not STOP the problem. I then got the chance to study a YAK-52 up close and personal, and could see that those gills added quite a lot of support to that front cowl ring. So, I made four adjustable struts out of stainless steel tubing.... identical in design and function to the ones coming straight out from the cylinder attachment points, but for these... I ran them out from the front of the engine supercharger cover (using the same mounting studs that the IRIS would attach to) HORIZONTALLY to the front cowl ring. Four of them, one every 90 degrees. These acted like spokes on a wheel, and gave back the support that the original gills had. Result? Problem cured. No more cowling damage... problem is 100% FIXED. This leads me to advise AGAINST putting an IRIS system on a YAK-50/52, UNLESS you also take additional steps to support that front cowl ring. There are a lot of other factors involved here... such as: "What condition are your engine mounting rubbers in?" Bottom line, the front of the cowls MUST MOVE WITH THE ENGINE, and if you take out the gills, you basically have a situation best pictured by imagining a person holding a HULA-HOOP out in front of himself with outstretched arms. Then picture something/ANYTHING, "hanging from the hula-hoop itself"... you can see, there just is not any structural strength in that kind of assembly. Put the gills in, and mount the gills to the engine itself, and you can see that the above picture regains all of its strength. By the bye, this is yet another reason to keep those leather mounting pads in good condition that are located on the engine itself. These ALSO provide quite an amount of structural support to the whole upper and lower cowl. Sorry for the long post, but the details were needed in my opinion. Mark Bitterlich N50YK Here are some other interesting things that I learned the hard way about... last week! p.s. Another tid bit for the YAK list. The YAK-52/50/55 and the Sukhoi-26/29/31 AND the CJ-6, all use the exact same piston in the air-compressor relief valve. This piston and seal are what you adjust to control the peak pressure in your air system in the aircraft. Doug Sapp sells the whole assy. for the CJ.... and you can take it right apart, take out the piston and spring (and locking nut) and put the whole mess into your YAK, if you want to do that instead of repair what you have with a new rubber bushing. Here's the TID BIT: The YAK-52W (and I am GUESSING the YAK-52TW as well) has a DIFFERENT PISTON in the pressure relief assy. It is slightly BIGGER and is NOT a direct replacement with all the others mentioned earlier. Why not? Go figure. p.p.s. YAK-52W guys... did you know that there is an emergency pressure relief valve behind the seat that allows you to eliminate emergency air pressure to the landing gear without having to crack fittings and jack and cycle the gear, if you ever do happen to open the emergency bottle valve? p.p.p.s. For those aircraft with the manual engine starting valves (YAK-55, Sukhoi's) be aware that the rubber replacement tab for the starter valve MUST have a whole cut in the middle of it. Ignore that fact, and the lever will work a few times and then fail forever. Trust me on this and save yourself a lot of head scratching. -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com ]On Behalf Of Mark Sorenson Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2006 10:10 AM Subject: Yak-List: Iris Instead of Grills --> Yak-List message posted by: Mark Sorenson Hello all, Can anyone tell me if it is practical to replace the grills on the front of my Yak with an Iris type grill.

    Subject: Official Yak-List Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com> Dear Listers, Please read over the Yak-List Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) below. The complete Yak-List FAQ including the Usage Guidelines can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Yak-List.FAQ.html Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator [ Note: This FAQ was designed to be displayed with a fixed width font such as Courier. Proportional fonts will cause display formatting errors. ] This FAQ can also be viewed in HTML online at the following address: http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Yak-List.htm ************************************************************ ******* LIST POLICIES AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ******* ************************************************************ PLEASE READ. This document contains Yak-List policies and information for new and old subscribers. Understanding the Yak-List policies will minimize problems for the Administrator, and will help keep the Yak-List running smoothly for all of us. **************************************** *** How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe *** **************************************** Simply go to the Web Page shown below and enter your email address and select the List(s) that you wish to subscribe or unsubscribed from. You may also use the handy "Find" function to determine the exact syntax of your email address as it is subscribed to the List. Please see the complete instructions at the top of the Web Page for more information. The Subscribe/Unsubscribe web page is: http://www.matronics.com/subscribe Note that you will receive TWO conformation emails regarding your subsciption process. The first verifies that your subscription/unsubsciption request was received, and the second confirms that the process has been completed. You should receive the first email within a few minutes of your request. The second conformation will arrive in less than 24 hours. You cannot post until you receive the second conformation email message. ***************************** *** How to Post a Message *** ***************************** Send an email message to: yak-list@matronics.com Your message will be redistributed to everyone currently subscribed to the List. ***************************************************** *** SPAM Fighter - You Must be Subscribed to Post *** ***************************************************** When a new post is received by the system, the From: line of the message is checked and compared against the current subscription list. If the email address is found, the message is passed on to the List Processor. If the email address isn't found in the current list of subscribers, it is dumped. This serves to very effectively thwart 99% of the SPAM that gets posted to the Lists. Remember, however, that the syntax of your email address is very important with regard to the configuration of your email application such as Outlook or Eudora. For example, the following two email addresses may be functionally equivalent, but only one would pass the Matronics Email SPAM test depending on which was syntax was subscribed to the given List: smith@machine.domain.com smith@domain.com Either email address syntax is alright, just be sure that you configure your email application to match *exactly* the address you've subscibed to the List. ***************************************************************** *** Enclosures Stripped Out - Can't Get a Virus From the List *** ***************************************************************** Any enclosures that are posted to the List will automatically be stripped off, and ONLY the plain/text portion of the message will be forwarded to the List. Please configure your Email application to send Plain Text Only, and disable any "Quoted Printable" or "HTML" encoding whenever possible. Because enclosures are stripped out of incoming posts to the List, the likelihood of getting a virus from the List is extremely small. If you do receive a message that appears to be from the List, and it does include a virus, it is very likely that it was sent *directly* to you from someone on the List who has a virus. This is a specific kind of virus, and you should try to inform the sender, if possible. The best protection against viruses is a good virus protection program such as Norton Antivirus. State of the art in virus protection today's world gives maximum protection with little or no negative impact on the computer system. You can't afford to be without a good virus protection program these days. Note that some limited enclosure posting is now enabled on a number of Lists. Allowed types include .jpg, .gif, .txt, .pdf, .xls, and a few other similar types. ******************* *** Digest Mode *** ******************* Each day, starting at 12 midnight PST US, a new 'digest' will be started. This digest will contain the same information that is currently appended to the archive file. It has all of the headers except for the "From:" and "Subject:" lines removed, and includes a message separator consisting of a line of underscores. Each day at 23:55 PST US, the day's messages as described above will be combined and sent as a single message to everyone on the digest email list. To subscribe to the digest list, use the same subscription web form described above, and just select the Digest version of the List. http://www.matronics.com/subscribe Note that you *can* be subscribed to both the realtime and digest versions of the List at the same time. This is perfectly acceptable. Now some caveats: * Messages sent to "yak-list-digest" will be forwarded to the standard email list. In other words, you cannot post messages only to the digest List. * If you are subscribed to both the regular List and the digest List, you will receive the realtime postings as well as the digest at the end of the day. * If you reply to the digest email, your message will be forwarded to the normal list associated with the digest. Important Note: Please change the subject line to reflect the topic of your response! Also, please *do not include all or most of the digest in your reply*. **************************** *** List Digest Browser *** **************************** An archive of all the List Digests can be found online in either plain text or HTML format. These archives contain the exact Digest that was posted to the Digest email list on the given day. The Digest Archives can be found at the following location: http://www.matronics.com/digest ***************************************** *** The "DO NOT ARCHIVE" Message Flag *** ***************************************** At times, your message may concern something that is revelent only to a very small number of persons or to a limited area, and you may not wish to archive it. In such a case, simply put the following phrase anywhere in the message: do not archive Your message will not be appended to the archive, but will be sent to List email distribution as normal. ********************************************** ***** READ THIS - Automatic Unsubscribes ***** ********************************************** Note that if your email address begins to cause problems such as bounced email, mailbox is filled, or any other errors, your address will be promptly removed from the List. If you discover that you are no longer receiving messages from the Yak-List, go to the following Web page, and look for your email address and a possible reason for your removal. The Matronics Email List uses utility called the "Email Weasel" that automatically looks though the day's bounced email for addresses that caused problems due to common things like "user is unknown", "mailbox full", etc. If the Email Weasel removes your email address from the Lists you will find record of it at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/unsubscribed If the problem listed on the web site above has been resolved, please feel free to resubscribe to the Lists of your choice. ******************************* *** List Member Information *** ******************************* If you have not done so already, please email me your phone numbers and paper mail address in the following format: smith@somehost.com Joe Smith 123 Airport Lane Tower, CA 91234-1234 098-765-1234 w 123-456-7890 h Please forward this information to the following email address: requests@matronics.com I have a file of such things, that I typically use to contact you when there are problems with your email address.

Every year during November I run a low-key, low-pressure "Fund Raiser" where, throughout the month, I ask List members to make a Contribution in any amount with which they are comfortable. I will often offer free gifts with certain contribution levels during the Fund Raiser to increase the participation. The gifts are usually donated by companies that are themselves List members. Your Contributions go directly to supporting the operation of the Lists including the high-speed, business-class Internet connection, server system hardware and software upgrades, and to partially offset the many many hours I spend running, maintaining, upgrading, and developing the variety of services found here. Generally Contributions range from $20 to $100 and are completely voluntary and non-compulsory. I ask only that if person enjoys the Lists and obtains value from them, that they make a Contribution of equal magnitude. Contributions are accepted throughout the year, and if you've just subscribed, feel free to make a Contribution when you've settled in. The website for making SSL Secure Contributions is listed below. There are a variety of payment methods including Visa and MasterCard, PayPal, and sending a personal check. If you enjoy and value the List, won't you make a Contribution today to support its continued operation? http://www.matronics.com/contributions Thank you! Matt Dralle Email List Administrator ****************************************************************************** Yak-List Usage Guidelines ****************************************************************************** The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Yak-List. You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the Yak-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. Yak-List Policy Statement The purpose of the Yak-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established: - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing. - Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by List members promoting their respective products or items for sale should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to everyone, including those who provide products to the entire community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists. ------- [This is an automated posting.]
