Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: Yak-List: V530 - Tool After seeing a couple of these seized V530 hubs, even if you were able to disassemble it, the corrosion will be severe and the bearings and races will be pitted. In fact, I used my spanner wrench with a 3 foot extension along with a 250 pound person and could not turn/remove the large nut on one of them. Based on my experience and seeing the damage, once it was disassembled, would be to bit the bullet and replace the hub.

Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: Yak-List: Re: Yak-List Digest: 12 Msgs - 04/26/06 Let's see Barry. Using some of the specs for the V530 to measure blade angles, it says the measurement of blade angle is made 1000 MM or 1 meter from the center of the hub. That places the measuring point on the blade about 8" in from the tip of the blade. If you look at a new V530 paddle prop, it will have a line on the back side of each blade from the leading edge to the trailing edge, which in fact is the blade angle measuring mark. When one measures from that line to the tip of the blade, as I said, it is about 8", give or take 1/8". So, doing the math, 1 meter =3D 39.37 x 2 =3D 78.74" + (8"x2) =3D 94.74". I still think that is "approximately" 94 inches and not closer to 98". FWIW.

The news report on what the twister did to the hanger was indeed eerie. I could only cling to the denial of "nah..it couldn't be a Yak in there". Jeff and I had some high wind and dust conditions, and "had" to spend the night in Midland Tx ( B-29 flew at the CAF there) to avoid a thunderstorm, but otherwise dodged the worst. I just want you to know that you can come "play" here in SLC any time too while you're hopefully re-assembling your bird. There is a guest room available and free transport to the airport etc. any time. That really does suck, but for what it's worth it's a heckofa story.

I just don't know if it will be me? I think that by the time you add a new prop, new canopy, new tail wheel, new paint, new fabric, re-skinning, mx fees, 10,000 pt inspection, yada yada yada, I think that it will add up to be as much or close to what I have it insured for. We shall see, they said it could take up to a month to give me an estimate from the insurance company. Smash cgalley wrote: If the spar isn't damaged then the skin can be replaced. It looked like a lot of the damage was holes in the control surface fabric. After it is stripped, then you can check the underlying structure. Holes punched in the skin will not effect the strength. Any underlying structure can be fixed. Dye Check for cracks if you worry. Have a good mechanic look it over. Had a friend that flew a single place YAK thru a power line. After it was repaired and the prop replaced, it was good as new and he demonstrated it frequently. Even wings can be replaced if necessary. Canopy is not structural.

If you think about it for a bit you really don't know the G loads the plane took in this environment. If you have rivets that were partially sheared and returned to the originally position how do know . Can you measure this damage? Same for metal fatigue and over stress of areas that do not appear to be damaged This aircraft could be returned to flying condition, however , would you want to pull rated G forces on it ? Probably not.

Looked over the photos you sent and see absolutely nothing that is not repairable. Whether it is financially feasible or not I don't know, that will depend on your insurance coverage. Take some time to evaluate the situation, your 55 is not scrap by any means. It can be repaired and returned to 100% airworthiness status.
