    Subject: gear warning
    Great thing, nice to have in a YAK52 but where does it get its input from???? Hans Oortman Pa3arw@euronet.nl -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Aviatre@aol.com Sent: maandag 6 maart 2006 22:26 Subject: Yak-List: gear warning A while back there was discussion about gear warning devices. I came across this device on avweb today. It warns of gear up, and acknowledges gear down. It also warns of overspeed and stall. It can also drive a Hobbs meter. Kinda cool, at $1295, a little pricey. http://www.p2inc.com/audioadvisory.asp

    Subject: GNS430 w/ GS
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Roger Kemp" <viperdoc@mindspring.com> Scott, Have no experience with the 430, but do with the NARCO 122/D GS/LOC. Fits perfect in the clock panel cut out. Will have to rout out the whole 2-3 mm. Also convert the hard case on the quick clip wiring harness to a soft bundle. The hard case does not have the clearance in the back to not rub on the huge wiring bundle for the panel instruments that comes left to right on the left side of the panel. Did install a Garmin 396 for moving map and weather. So did not sacrafice the Russian radio as a result.

    Subject: Yak 55 Canopy Bungees and Cables
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Scott Kirk" <pilot8kcab@hotmail.com> Scott, I had my bungee system and the entire canopy system for that matter on my Yak-55 "adjusted" by Cliff Coy with Gesoco last March and its 100% better than it was. You may want to call Cliff for advise if you're going to do it yourself. www.gesoco.com Scott ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Scott Poehlmann" <scott-p@texas.net> Subject: Yak-List: Yak 55 Canopy Bungees and Cables Hi All, I have been flying my new (to me) Yak 55M for about a month now, and love it. It has been a very straightforward transition from the Su29, and frankly, surprisingly comparable in terms of performance (don't tell the Sukh drivers...). I have found little to be concerned about with the airplane, but do have two very minor squawks about the airframe. First off, the bungee that retracts the canopy is "un-bunged", i.e., it is stretched out to the point where the cable hangs loosely when the canopy is fully open. I would like to replace this, and recognise that this will require pulling the seat back out, and climbing back there to try get at the bungee. However, before I begin, I was wondering if any of you with more expertise than I would know WHAT kind of bungee I need, or the particulars of it's fabrication (length, number of cords, method of attachment...) (ideally, I only want to crawl back there once...), or if any special tools are required. The maintenance books which I have are silent on this subject (or maybe that is in the Russian ones that I can't read...). Second, the cable which actuates the canopy latch (and which runs in the front bow from the little knob hanging from the top of the bow down to the pin on the starboard side) is starting to fray at the pull-knob. I would like to replace it before it brakes. It looks like standard control cabling material, but I can't see the fittings (since they are inside the bow) and can't tell what would be involved in a) removal/replacement, and b) how the cable attached to the fittings. Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks, Scott Yak 55M N155YK

    Subject: Powered tow bar
    I just bought a PowerTow a couple of weeks ago as a matter of fact. It works fine for my YAK-52. Has a 6 hp engine that moves the plane along just fine. The hand controlled clutch will stop it on a dime. The rest of my hanger mates will attest to it's ease of use also. Dennis Savarese for one.

Someone is selling a control stick from G-YAMS and says there are other parts available. G-YAMS was crash landed. I'll attempt to attach a photo.
