I think that because of conduction anything on the engine wound be heated likewise. This however sounds like a reasonable temperature to me. Some one wish to elucidate further? Jim "Pappy" Goolsby Gentlemen, with my last annual a couple of weeks ago I had to replace both of my magnetos on my CJ. After a few test flights I measured the surface temperature of the distributor cap covers, it showed on average 150 degrees centigrade. Now here comes my question: Is that kind of high temperature normal, and if yes what could be the cause of such unusual peaks? Thank you in advance for your much appreciated help.

Considering when I have measured my cylinder head temps on all 9 with a laser thermal probe, it has averaged 220 'ish for 9 thru 3 and 190 'ish for 4 thru 8. That heat is going to go somewhere both by conduction, convection, and radiation. Like Pappy, I feel that is probably a reasonable temp for the mags.

Phil ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 08:27:16 AM PST US From: cjpilot710@aol.com Subject: Yak-List: 2 things. oops 3 things Troops, First. We are all invited to a party over at Bossler's hangar ( on the north side of the field ) on Tuesday the 25th at OSH. It is supposed to start at about 1930 hours until - who knows. I need an proximately head count. I plan on being there. Second. The RPA's newsletter - now magazine - went to the printers and should be mailed Friday. All of us are looking forward to your comments. That great Canadian publisher and skin head, Dan (AKA fougapilot) has worked quite hard on the layout. You can throw all your tomatoes and other unused salads at him. He is part French after all. The rest of us staff provide all the good parts. Third. Received the OSH Monday (24th) show arrival plan. Very much like last year. We will need to rendezvous at MTW in the early morning, to brief the plan and formation. We will sortie from MTW, fly the arrival and land. After the show, those of us who are flying to MTW for Roger's memorial dinner, will launch for the return trip. Since OSH closes for the night at 2000 (?) those with airplanes must plan to stay the night ( me for one ) and sortie back to OSH in the morning. If you plan to go by car plan a good 1 1/2 hour drive, one way. I understand that MTW's main runway maybe OS for paving. Be advised. MY personal plans call for leaving Peoria (SPI), IL airshow on Sunday (23 rd) morning and going to MTW. Sortie out of MTW for the show. Leave MTW morning of the 25th and stay in OSH the rest of the week. Would be happy to have the company. I believe we're in for another good year of friendships and flying. What the gas prices do to this is something to watch. BTW the EAAWB has said that high/low altitudes will be rotated amongst the WB groups. IOW we may get the low altitudes where WE BETTER LOOK REAL SHARP.

That is the oil out probe. The oil out temp. is not normally monitored in Western engine installations. It is monitored during engine test cell run after overhaul. You should normally see about a 30 deg.C increase over the oil in temp. Max allowable oil out is 125 degs. C but you would rarely see it that high with the Huosai.

Phil ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 09:40:36 AM PST US From: Herb Coussons Subject: Re: Yak-List: 2 things. oops 3 things Thanks for the schedule update - There will be fewer people arriving on 7-21 and 7-22 than in years past. The cookout for everyone in MTW on Saturday 7-22 will be low key to provide a meal for the guys there already. There is a larger contingent staying in OSH or transitioning to OSH by mid week this year. Look for the RV in the warbird area for a gathering/briefing location. THis worked well last year and will provide a gathering place for OSH. Sergei will fly with those interested out of MTW. If you want to fly with Sergei (I have 6 so far - room for 8-10) email me directly if you need a certain time during the week. He will be there afternoon 7-24 until morning 7-28. For those who don't know OSH to MTW is 15-20 min in the air. Total trip depends on ground time in OSH. So far I have about 35 people registered. About 24 planes - and 20 FAST pilots (a few studs and non-formation airshow folks.) In the past there are about 5-10 guys that do not register. If we have 25+ planes this will be a good showing for the mass formation. And if we have 35 Yaks/CJs on the ground at OSH that will be impressive. See you all soon. REMEMBER - email direct if you have a desired day and time for Sergei - drc@wscare.com Herb On Jul 12, 2006, at 10:26 AM, cjpilot710@aol.com wrote: > Troops, > > First. > > We are all invited to a party over at Bossler's hangar ( on the > north side of the field ) on Tuesday the 25th at OSH.

My right magneto had almost no pre-ignition angle, the flyweights were seized up. The engine has 400 hours since overhaul and 1000 hours since new, so I was wondering what the cause for the premature magneto wear-outs could have been. Thank you again for your valuable input. cheers Elmar (C-FTKL) ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 02:33:36 PM PST US From: "Terry Lewis" Subject: Yak-List: engine failure The NTSB reports that a CJ 6A had an engine failure near the Brewster airport in Washington on 07/02/06.
