Absolutely! Don't forget good air filtration to keep out silicone (dirt) from
the engine oil. I use the 10 micron (absolute, not average) Marion filter and
the Brackett air filter. Every oil change gets a test sample analysis. AOA runs
a results tracking for my engine that shows very low contaminates since
break in.

These autoplug conversions use a wire superior to resistor wires,
wires have a very fine stainless steel wire wrap around the conductor.
Depending on the grade, from 80 - 200 wraps per inch covered by
7mm - 10mm diameter Hyplon or similiar covering. However, spark
plug gap should not be opened up as much as the high energy systems
that these racing wires are intended for. Otherwise, a weaker spark will
result in some conditions. I use .025" max for plugs on the M-14P

Brian,
My 52TW, and I *think* the other TW's as well, have Russian centrifugal-advance
mags with a Slick-Start system.
Works great!

Ah, nice. I didn't think I was the only person out there with good
ideas. ;-) It is also nice to learn that there is a Russian
centrifugal-advance mag too.

I'm not surprised. Good. Now I am sure how I will set up my mags on The

Some of the TW's which have the centrifugal advance M9-35 mags had the Slick
Start shower of sparks installed. But not all of them. The "sissy yaks" as
I call them solve the air start problem by installing the electric starter
on the nose case. When no shower of sparks system is installed, it makes
starting the M14PF much easier.

At Reno this last year in the Lycoming engine booth they had one of their
experimental Turbo 550 motors for the NXT style aircraft.
Surprise! It had the same automotive RACING ignition wire and plugs that we
"chaps" are now using. This is a Lycoming factory OEM part.
Many of the race aircraft use the system also as they can adjust plug
temperature for higher output engines.
Its such a no-brainer. Makes maintenance a delight, starts like a dream.
However. . . the shielding is not as good as original. I've flown my system
about 100 hours now and when far away from a station or picking up a weak
signal a small amount of ignition noise is now heard in the system. And I
have a new Garmin (true, its not oem. . . ) avionics package. Very minor
though.

hello yakkers: just finished moving the seat back 2.5 inches and the back rest
and also placing a baggage compartment in the rear bulkhead area, so my FISDO
insists in doing a new weight and balance. problem: we do not speak russian, we
searched the manual and there is no description of the MAC or datum point in
western terms (ie inches ) , so if someone out there has the moments for fuel
and oil and perhaps a diagram that can be read by my FISDO I will be forever
grateful. we have a basic weight of the airplane but he will not accept percentage
of Mac and insists on inches from a datum point to recalculate the new CG

Cranking speeds, even with an electric starter, are very marginal for
getting a spark from a magneto unless you have either a starting
vibrator ("shower of sparks"), an HT boost coil (stock CJ6A and
Yak-52 system), or an impulse coupling to increase the rotating speed of
the mag for starting.
The solid-state vibrator (Slick-Start) strikes me as the most elegant
compromise if you want to have a magneto ignition system.

Wow guys, I just can't believe this happened. I watched this guy fly for 3 days
out at Wayne Handley's field when I went out there for spin training. That
guy was more highly trained than half of us put together. He had been personally
mentored and trained by the best in the field of aerobatics. This should
be a huge wake up call to all of us to make sure we keep our stuff straight.
When was the last time you practiced spins? Maybe you should brush off the dust.
I just can't believe Nick is gone, wow. Helluva nice guy. This sux.

Here is part of the ntsb initial report:
"...the inspector reported that the pilot was landing toward the northwest at Metz
Field, after practicing aerobatic maneuvers. The runway is partially dirt
and asphalt, oriented northwest/southeast. Witnesses told the inspector that the
airplane veered to the right and nosed down, colliding with the ground about
100 feet to the right, and about 850 feet past the approach end of the runway.
The airplane bounced and struck the ground a second time, coming to rest within
about 50 feet of the initial impact point, and about 45 degrees to the right
of the runway heading."

F.y.i. 1cm=2,54cms..but I'm sure you knew that,..
Good luck with your MAC!

hello yakkers: just finished moving the seat back 2.5 inches and the back
rest and also placing a baggage compartment in the rear bulkhead area, so my
FISDO insists in doing a new weight and balance. problem: we do not speak
russian, we searched the manual and there is no description of the MAC or
datum point in western terms (ie inches ) , so if someone out there has the
moments for fuel and oil and perhaps a diagram that can be read by my FISDO
I will be forever grateful. we have a basic weight of the airplane but he
will not accept percentage of Mac and insists on inches from a datum point
to recalculate the new CG

Martin,
In the black suitcase that should have come with your aircraft you will find
a collection of books in one of those there is the original W&B for the
aircraft. Trust me the numbers are in English :))

It would be interesting to know Tom whether the noise you are hearing is
coming in via the front end of the radio (I.E. from the antenna) or as noise
introduced into the radio coupled from the actual power leads. It's
probably not very easy to do... but if it IS possible to reach behind that
Garmin and unplug the antenna to see if that noise goes away, I'd very much
appreciate the feedback. Is your antenna in the same place as the original
by the way, and did you replace the Russian coax with RG-142 ??
Thanks for the info.

At Reno this last year in the Lycoming engine booth they had one of their
experimental Turbo 550 motors for the NXT style aircraft.
Surprise! It had the same automotive RACING ignition wire and plugs that we
"chaps" are now using. This is a Lycoming factory OEM part.
Many of the race aircraft use the system also as they can adjust plug
temperature for higher output engines.
Its such a no-brainer. Makes maintenance a delight, starts like a dream.
However. . . the shielding is not as good as original. I've flown my system
about 100 hours now and when far away from a station or picking up a weak
signal a small amount of ignition noise is now heard in the system. And I
have a new Garmin (true, its not oem. . . ) avionics package. Very minor
though.

I also am curous about the radio noise since I'm in the process of converting over
to the new plugs and wires. Has any body else out there had any noise with
this conversion?
Also, removed the Baklan 5 from my other Yak and installed the Becker 21/4 com/Trans
combo. I used RG 142 but wired it into the original russian antenna by
using the Russian coax fitting from the radio. Not really sure if that was a
good Idea as I get poor reception from aircraft in the formation but excellent
reception for aircraft further away.
Any thoughts on the need to change to a different antenna?

So far my only noise issues are coming from my Flightsuits helmet
with ANR. With my other headsets quite as a mouse.

Bill,
No one that has installed my conversion kit has reported any extraneous noise in
the radios or intercom after the installation. TJ's installation is not mine.
It may be Bill Blackwell's offering.
The Russian antenna has an impedance matching device on it and I seriously doubt
when connected to the Becker VHF that it will provide the best functionality.
You should probably put a VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) meter on the output
and see how much reflected power there is. If it were my installation
I would replace the Russian antenna with a standard US manufactured VHF antenna.
I'll bet I know why you didn't replace it to start with! -) It's a bitch
of a job getting back in the fuselage to get to the antenna to remove it.

Wild Bill,
Ask Dennis about using the Russian antenna with the western radios. There is something
about a significant ohm resistance in doing that. Sorry that is about
all I know about this. Dennis understands it better. I entertained doing that
on my 52 and he was pretty hard over on that about not doing it.

| Subject: | Antenna impedance (was: HT Leads) |
--> Yak-List message posted by: Brian Lloyd <brian-yak@lloyd.com>
Antenna impedance is a function of physics, not nationality. If the
Russian antenna is a whip type (1/4 wave monopole -- about 24" long) it
will have an impedance of about 35 ohms and will work just fine when fed
with RG-142 (50 ohms).
Dennis' suggestion of using a VSWR meter is a good one. If you use that,
check the VSWR at the bottom (118 MHz), center (127 MHz), and top (136
MHz) of the band. VSWR should be under 3:1 across the band. A VSWR of
1:1 is perfect but a VSWR of up to 3:1 is acceptable.
