    Subject: shear coupling
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Mark Jefferies YAK UK" <mj@yakuk.com> The compressor on the YAK 11 is identical to M14 which appears to be same as CJ but it DOES NOT have a shear coupling. Don't assume the CJ does. !! Cheers, mj Time: 07:23:45 PM PST US From: "A. Dennis Savarese" <dsavarese@elmore.rr.com> Subject: Re: compressor shear pin[LashBack] Doug, On the M14 it is a shear coupling, not a shear pin. The two halves of the coupling are held in place by shear pins. Since the compressor on the Huosai engine is identical to the Russian compressor and the drive section of the compressors are identical, I would believe there is a shear coupling. The shear coupling mates the compressor drive to the accessory drive. Should the compressor seize during operation or there be a serious backlash, the couple halves shear apart and thus prevents serious damage to the engine accessory drive. I also went through the IPB and could not find anything that resembles the shear coupling. I guess you will have to take a compressor off an engine to see. Dennis

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "A. Dennis Savarese" <dsavarese@elmore.rr.com> I had intended to be there David. But here at Wetumpka we had fog and less than 800' ceilings (as usual). I called Jerome Hickman and told him of our dilemma. It didn't start breaking up until around 11 AM. Hopefully we'll be able to make Reform for the Veterans Day fly-over in November.

    Subject: Re: compressor shear pin
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jim Bernier" <JBernier@dart.org> Doug On another CJ6A compressor note. I had a problem developing over 20 atmospheres. Just enough to start but not enough to feel good about it. I have an extra compressor so I started to take the problem off the engine. After observing the effort that I would have to undergo I decided to reevaluate the approach That I was taking. The compressor comes in two parts: the drive unit and the compressor head. I tried to take the power head off the drive unit and to my surprise it came off easy. Four nuts and pull the cylinder up, rotate the cylinder 45 degrees, push the pin out from the back and it comes free. Great piece of engineering. But that wasn't my problem. Turns out that the output valve was stuck partially open. Allowing air to be sucked back in through the output line. After cleaning the valve it works again. The moral of the story is to not jump to the conclusion that you need to replace the whole compressor. When you may only have a dirty valve. I love this plane. Jim B >>> rvfltd@televar.com 06/02/06 7:12 PM >>> Craig and all, No cheering necessary, I'm in this for the long haul, glad to be of service and I do thank you all for your support. Enough of that--- Question of the day: Has anyone ever heard of a 285 hp engine shearing the pin in the compressor? I am about to suggest that the Chinese 285 hp compressor does not have a shear pin. I said "about" because it is not visible in the parts book. I'll know more after I pull one apart this weekend. Opinions?

    Subject: compressor shear pin
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "doug sapp" <rvfltd@televar.com> Jim, Your 100% correct, a sticky or dirty poppet valve is often the culprit. Keep those compressor intake filters changed on a regular basis, their cheap and will prevent loss of hair, and the useless exercise and expansion of one's vocabulary. Another problem I have found is a small crack in the rigid tubing which runs from the compressor to the snot valve. I have been making up some soft lines to replace this metal line which has a history of cracking, especially on the M14P's in the CJ's and Yak 52's.

    Subject: Re: compressor shear pin
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "A. Dennis Savarese" <dsavarese@elmore.rr.com> Doug's point about the metal line running from the compressor output check valve to the "snot" bottle is right on the money. I purchased one of Doug's flexible replacement hoses with the banjo and "B" nut fittings for one of my customers and I will say it is a much easier installation with much less propensity to crack. Doug has the correct dimensions for the M14/Yak 52 including the TW's. So if you believe you have a problem with that specific line, try replacing it with one from Doug. I can guarantee you it is easier to obtain and then install than fabricating a metal line with a 360 degree loop in it and trying to fish it back into place, particularly on TW's.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Bitterlich, Mark G CIV Det Cherry Point, MALS-14 64E" <mark.bitterlich@navy.mil> Another problem you have found? Ahmmm..... Ah..... great idea you had there Doug! :-) In addition, the flexible line puts much less stress on the Compressors Banjo Fitting. The new YAK-52W or 52TW now has the original metal line with the loop attached to a small piece of FLEX line. Bottom line, I have used a flex line from the compressor to snot valve for 5 years now, and for over 500 hours with no negative impact. EVERY Yak-50 or 52 owner (minus the "W" versions) needs to replace this line. Either do it now, or do it later, and in a pinch, the Sukhoi smoke line fits perfectly. Mark Bitterlich N50YK p.s.

    Troops, Well I'm about to catch a red eye home after 2 weeks of flying the bombers. Time to get down to the flying I love. I mean flying the trio of B-24/B-17 and now the B-25 is a real ego trip, don't get me wrong BUT my CJ-6 has something just for me and not a bunch of 'want-a-bes' wanting to play bomber crew. Yep its is cool to be in "know" with the old vets and its great to hear the uncommon valor they were so common of doing. But there are times when you need to sit there - a lone - feeling - seeing - hearing things only met for you. The joy of a loop by myself - - - well is un describable for me. Its as if the CJ is doing just for me. The B-25? Very easy to fly UNLESS YOU LOOSE AN ENGINE !!! Other than that she is louder than hell on the ears and fast as hell too. Was very popular on the tour. Lots of airshow to do this summer. See yawl there!!!!!!!!! Jim "Pappy" Goolsby -----Original Message----- From: Bitterlich, Mark G CIV Det Cherry Point, MALS-14 64E <mark.bitterlich@navy.mil> Sent: Thu, 1 Jun 2006 16:48:25 -0400 Subject: Yak-List: Mr. Higgens --> Yak-List message posted by: "Bitterlich, Mark G CIV Det Cherry Point, MALS-14 64E" <mark.bitterlich@navy.mil> The very best thing that can be done in regards to this gentleman is to simply ignore him. 100 per cent. Totally. Why someone would join a list and then bad mouth everyone on it is beyond comprehension. The only answer is that such a person gets great glee and satisfaction from instilling anger and wrath in other people, and then sits back and laughs wildly at the tumult that he has caused. This takes a lot of past issues and puts them into more of a pure perspective... at least it does for me. This is all I am going to publically say about this gent, now or in the future. Sadly, every list eventually winds up facing this problem. How we handle it now reflects on us and not him. He has already established his ilk. Mark Bitterlich N50YK --> Yak-List message posted by: "Mark Higgins" <mark_higgins_la@lycos.com> Honestly, I don't care how much you charge for your kits. It's none of my business. Just spare me your sales talk about costs and clues. I friend did the same job for $100-something. So, go brainwash your Yak crowd. What blew my lid was this sense of entitlement to essentially looted property. > Wait until he calls Carl, George, Doug, You or myself for parts........I am > sure we will remember these comments and charge accordingly. Wow ! This sounds like a mini cartel here ! Too bad I'm not a customer. Just one question to you, my dear parts barons: what do you think are your chances for getting busted one day for an attempt to smuggle out stolen goods ? ( Hint : it doesn't take a lot of well-wishers to get on Customs watch list ). And let me guess - are you going to whine that you sincerely believed that $6 a plug is a true price ? Also, a note to this "Scooter" thing: I feel sorry for your name, please accept my condolences. Call me what you like, but at least I do not drive a plane designed for 18-year-old kids to get basics in 50hrs before switching to jets, get dressed like a 300lbs "democratizer", and call it a "warbird". One more thing - it appears that this list is being manipulated in a genuinely american democratically perverted way to ensure that no "undesirables" stay here long enough to stir trouble. I don't mind really - go ahead unsubscribe me. ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________

    Subject: Changing a Yak-55 to 55M?
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Paul <jpblake@yahoo.com> Changing a Yak-55 to 55M? Can an early Yak-55 long wing be safely changed to a short wing 55M? What should one look for to see if the change has been done properly? Paul __________________________________________________
