It works fine with me, including the ANR from Flightsuits.
I use their HGU55 since about 4 years and had no problems with it.
But I need to say that we don't use the standard Baklan radio but a Becker
with PM1000 intercom.
I would recommend a fixed power supply outlet though in the cockpit (front
and back) Batteries don't run very long...
anr-headsets.com have a nice solution for that.
Fly safe!

I'm considering buying an HGU-55 through flightsuits.com and have heard many

I use Sigtronics speakers and the Sigtronics M80H microphone. The speakers
for whatever reason have much greater audio level than most others I have
used, even though all GA headset speakers are 300 ohms. The M80H mic is
designed for high noise environments. You won't be disappointed.

If you are looking for protection as well as comm, get the Kevlar option. The standard
helmet provides little protection. Most Life Support shops will tell you
that. They are a great place to put the comm gear and O2 mask and visor, but
they are not good "helmets" in the traditional sense.
Get the Kevlar....$100.00 is worth it.

question for the forum? my m14 has about 300 hrs
when in use I can keep the tank up, uses about a liter per hour of flight time
when it sits (which it does between aerobatic competitions since I have little
time for practice) in 2 weeks the entire 10 -12 quarts disappear (well. it goes
to the floor I have the messiest hangar at the airport very nasty lady...)
I think this is excesive oil leak I use aeroshell 15 50 synthetic. Since I have
800 hrs in my 1340 T6 that has been in the same hangar for 20 years and well
behaved (it leaks a bit) I have something to compare and does not come close
to it. the oil problem has become so that I am using more oil than gas. When
i go to the hangar I have to refill the tank so often that I am cutting my flying
time.
the engine performs well compression is good, most of the oil comes out of the
intakes and the kimball drain system that I have,
any suggestions besides overhauling it? or running the oil back into the tank?
thanks

talking about helmets I found in Oshkosh an original russian helmet that fits well
but has the russian round cable with four probes and a small squarish connector.
any one knows how to hook them to the original briz?

Ron
On the front canopy. You have a choice. There exist a small hole on the inside
of the cockpit near the rear of the canopy rail that allows you to remove the
rollers. This is a royal pain in the butt. The other way is to remove the entire
rail. It may sound like a bigger job but it isn't. Slide the front canopy back,
remove the 4 or 5 rail bolts, pry the rail out. Do both sides. Slide the
canopy forward and lift it out.
The back canopy is just held on by two stops.
But if you prefer, I can fly up to Hicks and give you a hand. Just say when. Weekends
only.

Remove the oil shut off valve from the oil pump; check the spring and
make sure it is not cracked or bent; resurface the valve; inspect the
seat; reinstall. The other alternative is to install an oil shut off
valve like the one Jim Kimball sells. I believe it interlocks to the
start switch.

Gents,
I retract the original offer. It never dawned on
me that it would cause such issues. My pictures are
still up on the website in full resolution to do with
as you please, which I apparently did for my own
amusement and personal enrichment. My apologies to
everyone who wasted time reading about my price
gouging. I will make myself scarce for a while.
Frank, I look forward to meeting you at an ARS
event in the future. I'll be the young one with a
camera and a smile. Please let me know if there are
any prints you would like - free of charge.
Respectfully,
Brandon Tucker

Brandon,
This community is about sharing information and anything else that benefits the
group. It does not include spending a ton of your own money so someone can get
something for free. You may already know this, but pilots are some cheap SOB's.
I commend you for your offer. I know the time it takes to get a good quality
print out. I took a bunch of pics at DVT and sent out 3 or 4 CD's EACH to
a few people and asked for nothing in return. It took a lot of time to clean them
up and get them burned. CD's are cheap....ink and paper are not so I know
your pain.
If you want to recoup some of your cost, ask folks to make a donation to help cover
the cost. You may be surprised at the response.
Don't let one out of the bunch ruin your plan. Keep up the support and I think
you will get your return.

Hi Scott,
I've used an HGU 55 in both an Su 29 and Yak 55M with Briz radios without
difficulty. In fact, it provides better noise reduction than my Lightspeed
ANR headset in the same environment. It is comfortable, relatively light and
prevents head-banging on snap-rolls. The only real down-side is that they
aren't cheap, but sometimes you get what you pay for. I like mine.

Andre;
The primary problem is the oil you are using. Aeroshell W15W50 is
totally unsuitable for radial engines. Surely you are not using this in
the R1340, if you were you would have exactly the same problem.
If you want a multigrade Phillips X/C 25W60 is the only one - for any
radial. I would not recommend their 20W50 - Not near as bad as W15W50
but still not adequate.
If not multigrade I would recommend Aeroshell W120 (summer) and W100
(winter - with preheat)

| Subject: | photos, attacks, and propriety |
--> Yak-List message posted by: Roger Baker <f4ffm2@adelphia.net>
Dear Yak List readers,
I have written an "off line" email to POTUS Stephen Fox
explaining to him my feeling that "on the list" was an appropriate
forum for my response to Mr. Haertlein.
Mr. Haertlein, if you recall, posted a message on this esteemed
list, that I judged to be unfairly critical of what I personally know
to have been a totally selfless effort on the part of a really good
guy to provide some nice photos to whoever wanted them. Since, like
most of us, this "really good guy" works for a living (active duty,
United States Navy) and has to watch his money, he attempted to offer
these photos in a manner that would, perhaps, eventually cover his
actual costs.
Obviously, for whatever unknown reason, Mr. Haertlein found
this very offensive and complained about it in this public forum.
Which is, of course, certainly his right. Not good judgement
perhaps, but certainly his right.
I think it was appropriate for me to respond in defense of the
"really good guy" in the same venue in which he was attacked. I
further think that it is appropriate for me to respond to Mr.
Haertlein's self serving, disingenuous attempt at self defense in
this same place.
So here goes......Mr. Haertlein, your pious mewling about how
wonderfully you provide essential information to save the lives of
the Yak List subscribers...all "free of charge" is irrelevant to this
discussion. That's what all of us do in reference to safety,
maintenance items, operational issues, etc. That is why this list
exists...and we all strive to do this for our fellow aviators...and
all, as you put it, "free of charge". Learning about these issues
may have cost one dearly, but sharing such information costs
nothing. It is, indeed, a responsibility.
However, for Brandon (the "really good guy") to share the
photos in the form of prints does cost him money that he shouldn't be
expected to have to spend to do so.
The essence of the "discussion" is that Brandon (the "really
good guy") was simply trying to do something good for members of the
Yak/CJ flying fraternity....without going broke doing so. Since the
photos in question were not of you, or of your airplane, or of
anything in which you were involved; I don't see you as wanting
copies of any of the photos and I can't see where your opinion of any
aspect of this activity is relevant.
I saw your posting on the list as inappropriate, uninformed,
inane and insulting. You certainly owe Brandon (the "really good
guy") an aplology.
Listers, that's all I shall have to say to Mr. Haertlein.
Everytime I get involved in something like this, I promise
myself I'll not do so again because I'm reminded of the futility of
wrestling with a pig. All one gets out of it is to be covered with
mud and pig dung, and the pig probably enjoys it.

Ron,
It was about a 40 hour job for me. No fun A-Tall. I used plastic tapes for sealer
on the edges...wrong. Find thin synthetic rubber tape and use that. Getting
everything in place first IS Everything. I used a drill with the edges "broke"
for acyrilic and clecos to hold. "Relieving" the holes with a tapered stone
prevents future cracking. Forget the rivets and use all screws. Since I'm never
one to leave well enough alone, I made a composite rear canopy bow so I could
trim the rear canopy to sit a little lower. This was indicated by previous tuft
testing. Bad idea, One or two Knots vs much trouble.

Thank you Walt for confirming that 15w-50 is inadequate for radial

Andre;
The primary problem is the oil you are using. Aeroshell W15W50 is
totally unsuitable for radial engines. Surely you are not using this in
the R1340, if you were you would have exactly the same problem.
If you want a multigrade Phillips X/C 25W60 is the only one - for any
radial. I would not recommend their 20W50 - Not near as bad as W15W50
but still not adequate.
If not multigrade I would recommend Aeroshell W120 (summer) and W100
(winter - with preheat)

Subject: Yak-List: oil =ashBack] leaks
question for the forum? my m14 has about 300 hrs
when in use I can keep the tank up, uses about a liter per hour of
flight time
when it sits (which it does between aerobatic competitions since I
have little time for practice) in 2 weeks the entire 10 -12 quarts
disappear (well. it goes to the floor I have the messiest hangar at the
airport very nasty lady...) I think this is excesive oil leak I use
aeroshell 15 50 synthetic. Since I have 800 hrs in my 1340 T6 that has
been in the same hangar for 20 years and well behaved (it leaks a bit) I
have something to compare and does not come close to it. the oil problem
has become so that I am using more oil than gas. When i go to the hangar
I have to refill the tank so often that I am cutting my flying time.
the engine performs well compression is good, most of the oil comes
out of the intakes and the kimball drain system that I have,
any suggestions besides overhauling it? or running the oil back into
the tank?
thanks

Craig and Ron,
Just a note on hole size in plexi, they should be at least 100% oversize.
If you drill them to just fit the fasteners rivets or screws) they will
crack later when the plexi moves in hot and cold temps, even if you relieve
the holes as Craig recommends (which I agree is a good practice) you must
still oversize the holes.
About the rear canopies, I just got the first one piece rear canopies in and
they look really great, they also take more than just a little of the hassle
out of fitting the rear canopy glass.
Another point, the front slider has 6 bolts in it, on which the bearings
ride. They are in sets of two and are of three different part numbers, so
be carefully not to mix them up.
The bearings are called out as GX26GB276 which are a "linaball" type
bearings. I have found that the GX1026BG281-64, which is also a linaball
bearing is very close to the same bearing. The -64 bearing is used in the
CJ control surfaces.
Canopy glass replacement is not hard work, it is tedious and not for the
faint hearted, Craig is correct a well done installation takes about 40
hours.
Always Yakin,
Doug Sapp

Just installed a JPI FS-450 before my trip to OSH. Works well once the K-factor
is adjusted. Luckily, there is an auto-adjust feature so you enter actual used
vs computed. I coupled mine to the Garmin and it will show NMPG, which is a
great feature for adjusting power settings and altitudes on long X-countries.
With my aux tank I did 440 NM in light quartering headwinds. Would not have done

Huis,
I would like to have seen a picture of the HGU-55P in the last listing. If
I were buying one off a list, I would prefer the "new" one. A picture of
the orginal is worth a 1000 words coming from someone listing it on a list
like ebay.
Go to Google and do a Gentex search. They are the makers of the HGU series
of helmets. Tomorrow when I am out at the unit, I will ask my life support
guys if there are any gotcha's in looking for these helmets. I am lucky
since I still have access to my life support guys to help me out when I
have a problem with my helmets.

Then do not buy from him and take 36 pictures of your airplane (or do you even
have one) and have them processed.
With all the money you save taking pictures of yourself airborne...you could buy
a digital and get rid of film all together.

This is the last you will hear from me on this
subject.
Frank,
I would like to issue a friendly challenge so
that we can all bet back to fixing and flying. Pick a
picture from the website that I built, and David
hosted, "free of charge":
http://www.mcgirt.net/~ars2006/ars2006/
Any picture will do. Download it at full
resolution and have a 13" x 19" glossy photo printed
from a quality source. Be sure that it is touched up
and color corrected. Package it in a shipping tube
for safe shipping and pop it in the mail to the
following address:
Brandon Tucker
1809 via cuarto
Oceanside, Ca.
92056
Please include receipts for the print, shipping
container, and shipping. I will ask this amount as a
donation for prints. I would like this challenge to
be the final word on the subject. If you can deliver
this print to my door at comparable quality and less
than $20, I will publicly apologize. Until you do
this, your "opinion" is worthless. Put your money
where your fingers are, or simply put down the
keyboard.
Oh, and I will reimburse you for whatever the
total is, so all I am asking you for is your time. If
cash flow is low, I'll gladly send you an advance.
I'll be waiting impatiently by my mailbox...
Very Respectfully,
Brandon Tucker

Your oil check valve is gooped up. So when it sits the oil flow is not shut off
from the tank. It flows back into the engine and out the stacks.

Blitz,
You are dead on. Frank, you blew it on this one. If you don't want to buy a picture
don't buy a picture.
Never met the this young aviator, but to have a Hornet driver willing to volunteer
his time to impart some of his Tacatical knowledge and fly in the trunks of
your YAK's and CJ's so he can do some photos for you, well consider yourself
lucky. The best pictures I have of my Aircraft were made by another fighter pilot.
They know what you are looking for and are willing to go thru hundreds of
shots to the that right one! They are willing to crank around in the trunk under
G to get the right shot! They are not afraid to slide the canopy back to
be able to get that shot without the glare of the sun's reflection on the plexiglass.
Now I have also seen some really cool shots that have the reflections
of the instruments in the plexiglass superimposed on the bird that is being photographed,.Again
these were photos made by a pilot. The "Pro" I had in my trunk
once complained the entire time about the subject would not stay in position,
the camera lens keep bumping the canopy, and the
steep turns a;on with the G's were making them feel bad!
I'm surprised he was only asking 20 bucks for the shots. Try that with a "professional
photographer" and see what he or she asked for just the proofs!
Roger, really now when you get tired of crashing on postage stamps come on over
to the Guard. We'll let you fly a real 9+ g jet and land on true runways where
we only have to use the "wire" when there is a real problem not because we are
going to runoff the other end of the boat because some admiral made the runway
to short!
Seirra Hotel dude...guess that's "Top Notch" for you Navy types! Keep shooting
the photos, your price is cheap!
And I said I was not going to weigh in on this but after a nanosecond second though
I could not pass this nonesense up! $20 is dirt ass cheap considering!
Roger "Doc" Kemp,
Vipers forever
If It Don't sound Round..why listen.. that's why I fly a YAK

Brandon Tucker is one of the finest young men anyone might have the good fortune

Shame on you for whining about $20. You burn through that in 20 minutes in your
