Tim,
Blade removal is easy. You undo the nut on the counterweight bolt and the
blade unscrews in the normal anti-clockwise manor.

| Subject: | Are you FAST current?, need to find a FAST buddy, are you a |
RedStars Formation group member
Folks,
If you haven't already viewed it, the new association site has all FAST qualified
members posted with currency under "Formation" - fully displayed, no downloading
a pdf. If you are looking for folks to fly FAST with who enjoy formation
- there's a locator resource,
If you are one of the 81 who joined "RedStars", check out "Airshow Center" for
the current 2006 schedule and who signed up for what show, you can sign up right
there online to fly in a show (we are dealing with the same pain in the keester
FAA rule; you need a commercial ticket as the teams are receiving 'compensation'
in the form of support from the airshows, were looking at this issue).
You will also note under airshow center a web rom called "Other Acts", if you
have an airshow act advertised through ICAS, as an RPA member post your site
there (send to admin@flyredstar.org). We will be advertising the RPA website
to ICAS airshow organizers to enlist redstars or "Other Acts" ...
If you want to join redstars as a FAST pilot, you can do that right there in
airshow center as well - as far as manning goes, every show must have a mass lead
pilot and deputy, a team/show organizer (can be one of the Redstars formation
team members for that show, wing or lead makes no differance), and of course
enough leads and wings to flush out the display event.
Its a good program, designed to promote mass formation flying for our pilots.
The goal is to have a regional redstars mass formation group in each local/regional
area made up of RPA FAST qualed pilots motivated and practiced to enjoy
and support the local airshow circuit. I know there are several such groups
flying together now and to advance that concept the RPA will then head to ICAS
each year and promote us (redstars mass formation groups) to airshows across
the country. So my recommendation is, take a look at the 81 members on the redstars
roster in airshow center and contact the folks who signed up in your region/local
area; contact them and start meeting and flying together -
Please write Jeff Linebaugh if you have specific questions
Thanks for listening,
Drew

He did answer me. His answer was sent in private. It was that ARS
supports the RPA policy requiring flight suits and that it is the choice
of the individual whether or not to wear a flight suit and receive
training. Therefore, if one wishes to receive RPS/FAST sanctioned
training at ARS, one must wear a flight suit.
The key point here is that the organization may make whatever rules it
pleases and that individuals have the choice whether or not they want to
belong to the organization. As much as I dislike the policy, I have to
agree with the right of RPA to make it. The organization has formed
based on a concept of democracy and the majority appears to support the
flightsuit requirement. As a member I disagree and have made my opinion
known.
Ernie and others have accused me of trying to cram my views down
everyone else's throat but I believe that it is a significant point that
it is the function of democracy to do just that -- to allow the majority
to dictate to the minority. It is assumed that the majority is right.
Here in the United States democracy was modified by the Constitution
with its Bill of Rights that attempts to protect the minority against
the tyranny of the majority but RPA is not the United States and does
not have to live by the Bill of Rights and protect the minority.
I agree now that it is perfectly acceptable for RPA to do whatever it
wants to do. I just happen to disagree with some of RPA's policy. I
believe that attempting to force people into a mold by wearing a uniform
(and the flight suit is a uniform that is justified under the guise of
"safety") is divisive and potentially fractionates our community.
But it is their right to do and I support that right. But then, don't
ask me to support the organization.

Brian,
So if you disagree with a law or government policy, are you going to renonuce
your citizenship?
Nobody will ever agree with everything an organization does. What you have to
look at, is the majority of the goals consistant with your beliefs and goals?

Well, I think we are talking different things here. Whether or not I
choose to support RPA is a bit different than citizenship, don't you
think? You are suggesting that one should not dissent when one disagrees
and that any dissent requires one to renounce citizenship. I hold that
the United States was formed upon the basis of dissent. Remember, the
"patriots" of 1776 were dissenters rebelling against the legitimate,
established government of England. Today we label the people who
supported and remained loyal to the established government "royalists"
or "loyalists". It is interesting how the meaning of words drift with time.
In looking at various governments I have not found one that is better
than of the United States as defined by the Constitution and Bill of
Rights. OTOH, I am discomforted by the erosion of individual rights in
the US under the guise of "security" (DHS, TSA, etc.) and "safety" (FAA,
EPA, etc.).
But that is not the purpose of this list. Let's just drop it. I have
said my piece.
> Nobody will ever agree with everything an organization does. What you have to

I guess I happen to disagree. Let's leave it at that.

--> Yak-List message posted by: "Ben Marsh" <ben@designselect.net>
Gentle people,
As my friend Dennis Sanders reminds me, fuel is cheep. And, he's right.
Show me another liquid that is less expensive. If you think about it, to
make fuel you have to kill all the dinosaurs, bury them for a hundred
million years or so, and then find them again in places like the North
Atlantic Ocean. You've got to drill through the curst of the earth--never
mind the cold, deep water--pump the stuff into a freighter, transport it
around the world so it can be cooked into fuel, then shipped one more time
to your local and friendly gas station where the goods are taxed heavily by
uncle.
I'm paying $2.30/gn. for unleaded and $3.50/gn for 100LL. I can't
buy milk for less, or wine or beer or bottled water for that matter. Seems
a little odd that we pay $4.00, plus for milk. For milk all you need is a
cow and some grass. You don't even have to farm the cows in the North
Atlantic! As well, milk, wine and beer are renewable resources. Oil is
finite.
Yah, I hate a big fuel bill, but the stuff is pretty cheep given all
that goes into making it. Perhaps we should enjoy it, without complaint,
while it lasts.
Ben

"Flying on the cheap": what an oxymoron.
A big part of the cost of flying is now the cost of fuel. In my last
round-trip across the US (this last Christmas) I found *huge*
differences in fuel price. I could have paid anywhere from $2.80 to
$5.60 per gallon for fuel. I used AirNav.com (http://www.airnav.com/) to
plan my flight based on the cost of fuel. I went back and estimated how
much I saved by explicitly stopping where the fuel was cheapest. My
estimate came to $800 for the trip. $800 in a one-week trip paid for all
the motels and meals along the way.
This also is a useful point for Yak-52s and CJ6As with limited fuel.
Having aux fuel will buy you more flexibility in where you land to
refuel and may save you a LOT of money when traveling cross-country.

Brian,
Isn't that a bit contradictory? BARRY - If someone elects to not wear a
flight suit, that is their decision, and that's fine. ARS and the RPA do
not prevent anyone from receiving training. BRIAN - Therefore, if one
wishes to receive RPS/FAST sanctioned training at ARS, one must wear a
flight suit.
What am I missing?
Dennis

Barry's comment was, I think, misinterpreted. If you do not wear a
flight suit you will not be allowed to train at RPA/FAST training
events. Barry was saying that they do not *force* you to wear a flight
suit and that is, technically, true.
I have since said I agree with Barry. RPA may require anything it wants
to and I get to choose whether I participate or not. The choice is mine.
RPA does not force me to do anything.
> What am I missing?
I think it was just a matter of sematics.
I support RPA's right to make the policy. I just don't support the policy.

Sorry but this has nothing at all to do with flight suits. In the interests of
safety (and keeping Scooter alive) I'd like to hear any war stories about Yak
52's doing unexpected things. Seems like I've heard a few things in the past.
Are we just talking about accelerated stalls? Are we talking about a normal
spin transitioning to a flat spin? So far I haven't seen anything unexpected.

Val,
Why is it that a woman always smiles when she is killing you? Note the
differences in the two expressions. Now don't misunderstand, I personally
would think that I would rather go out looking at a smiling face, than
someone grimacing at me. But on the other hand the grimace might tend to
give one a bit of for warning and allow you to run like hell.
I like them both. Did you do the art work?
Always Yakin,
Doug Sapp

Gang,
Brian has correctly stated ARS's position on formation training. It is a RPA sanctioned FAST training event and abides by it's policies. Flight suits and parachutes are required....see the RPA FAST Policy and recommended equipment at www.flyredstar.org/documents/rpa_policy_changes.pdf
Looking forward to seeing you all at ARS V!
Cheers,
Barry
PS These forums are great...thanks for the push, Tim. :D

--> Yak-List message posted by: "Jerry Painter" <wild.blue@verizon.net>
Gents--
Here in the wet PNW it seldom gets below freezing, but I have found that
preheat does indeed help starting, even if its 40F or even 50F outside. Len
Cunningham (Cunningham Aircraft Covers) has made several insulated cowling
covers for me for both CJ's and 52's. I highly recommend them--and he has
patterns for making more. They are made of heavy nylon type material,
heavily insulated (and look like they could double as sleeping bags),
completely enclose the cowling and have exhaust outlet openings so you can
hang your favorite collection device outside the cover and keep things clean
The covers are pulled tight with draw strings so you can insert a duct from
your heat source anywhere you want to keep things toasty. Nothin' like a
nice warm engine and oil for starting in cold weather.
Electric sump heaters are also useful and can be attached to the oil tank,
though I prefer to heat the entire engine along with the oil.
Jelled kerosene/gasoline and Primus stoves have burned down lots of
airplanes--be careful out there!
It's also important to build some head pressure on the fuel line to the
carburetor--wobble, wobble wobble--before you start cranking. No pressure
and the fire will go out before it builds enough to sustain operation. Yes,
pumping the throttle or the primer (after it's running) will help keep it
running, but you gotta have that pressure first.
Finally, "blubbering" is often the result of not locking the primer after
start. Fuel will go past the primer and richen the mixture, just enough to
cause a little perplexing roughness.

Scooter,
The Yak 52 was a primary trainer in the former eastern block countries.
Consider it in the same category as a T-34. It was used to teach people
who had never touched or felt an airplane before in their life, how to fly.
It was not designed to kill people. There are no "bad habits". Just a
whole lot of fun. And like any high performance/complex airplane, it
requires proper training in all phases of flight.

Scooter,
The 52 is truly a fun plane to fly. My only experience with it rearing its
little ugly head was a an abrupt departure due to an accelerated stall.
That was the result of me getting slow in the vertical. This airplane talks
to you before she decides to do something ugly like snap over on her back.

I agree Doc. And your statement can be applied to probably hundreds of
different airplanes. I wouldn't call what you defined a "bad habit"
though. You can fly numerous airplanes in the vertical and get too slow,
particularly if you are slightly past the vertical and bingo, over on her
back she goes. (Her and She are used affectionately and do not imply sex or
gender) -:)

Scooter -
I have to agree with all that has been said so far. I got my Yak just
over a year ago and about 8 months after getting my private. There
were a lot of high hour pilots on my field who were shocked and
thought I was climbing into a plane way beyond my abilities. I just
kept reminding myself this is the plane the russians and others
tossed kids into to teach them how to fly. The first thing I noticed
was how easy the Yak was to fly, nothing untoward or squirrely. Now,
I wasn't out there doing inverted flight in fact I wasn't doing any
aerobatics. Since then I've taken 10 hours of aerobatic training,
I've flown with Sergei Borak who really showed me what my plane was
capable of doing. This I highly recommend, fly with someone of
Sergei's caliber. One they will really show what the YAK can do and
how to get out of the ugly.
But I totally agree with Doc, this plane talks to you and lets you
know long before things get ugly

I swear I am not going to say anything about flight suits, except this....
Since some of you guys need them, and I have lots of friends that have recently
separated from the military that have at least 3 green and 3 desert flight
suits a piece, they might be willing to let you have them for cheap.
If you are interested, contact me off the list with what size you would need.
If you are unfamiliar, they come in even sizes, 38, 40, 42, 44 and then short/med/long.

Scooter,
If you had been paying attention you would know that all you need is a
flight suit, parachute, 2nd class medical, commercial rating and RPA
membership to fly your 52 blissfully through the wild blue yonder with
out ruffling your silk scarf .
OTOH ; This is a Yak52, not a 152. We have lost some very good pilots
in these planes.
Get some aerobatic dual. Period.
I highly recommend Sergei Boriak

Are we just talking about accelerated stalls? Are we talking about a normal
spin transitioning to a flat spin? So far I haven't seen anything unexpected.

I really do appreciate the concern for Scooters welfare. I'll see if I can find
a russian guy to sit in my back seat sometime.
I've never done aerobatics in a 152 Aerobat but I enjoyed flying the T34. That's
a great airplane.
I agree the yak does give plenty of warning before stalling. it also seems to
behave very well in the spin both upright and inverted. I've done just about
everything else with it. Doesn't do aerobatics like a Pitts but I wouldn't expect
it to. it's a fun airplane.

A little fun for you guys here. The two pieces of nose art that I designed
for N621CJ. I nick named him 'Chang and have to decide between putting him,
or my alter ego "Valkyrie" on the aircraft. (1.) Which one? (2.) Would you
guys be interested in having 'Chang available as a Red Star T-shirt? - Val

It sooo kicks a Pitts butt. I have a room full of trophies gotten with
mine. Flew her at the 1998 U.S.Nationals and kicked Pitts butts all
over Dennison. In Intermediate for the record. One of the pilots was a
U.S. akro instructor of mine in his Pitts S1-T.
Jumped a couple of your boys playing Aerial Combat Zone, (in my old
box) - or whatever in T34-Bs - trust me they can't hang with the Yak in
the hands of a Soviet Bloc trained pilot (Ukraine).
There, lets get it started again...bring on the 'Changs...oh, yeah.

That is mostly a function of people doing things they weren't trained to do.

I would not hesitate to teach my kids to fly in a Yak-52 and then turn
them loose on solo day.
Of course we would explore the stall regime pretty carefully beforehand.
OTOH, I do think the CJ6A is a better primary trainer.

Val,
The Chang logo looks great, although I think there are a couple of points
you might need to verify for authenticity.
It looks to me (I'm no expert, though) that both the sword and the hair
arrangement is more Japanese than Chinese. The man resembles more like a
Japanese Samurai warrior (less his body gear) than a Chinese warrior.
FWIW,
Sam Sax
