Well gents. I machined the dome to clean it up. The spec in the book is 0.5 mm.
This is approx 19 thousands. Cylindricity was a major issue. I laid it out and,
took the measurements on the CMM. So now I have a complete CAD input and, can
fab one from any material I want. Horrible Russian quality. I guess Russian
and Quality in the same sentence is an Oxymoron. Anyway, I have pics if anyone
is interested. Hope to post them to my web page as soon as the wife gets it
going again.
So far no leaks. Only an hour in the air yet. I live in Mich and. is an inclimate
toilet so..... flying is limited.
:(

--> Yak-List message posted by: "CJcanuck" <m_kirk69@hotmail.com>
I'm in the final stretch of my pre-purchase research for a CJ to be based near
Toronto. I've learned alot about the aircraft here, but I have a few additional
questions when someone has a moment.
First, as it can get cold here from time to time (like October to April!) I'm interested
in any cold wx ops tips. What sort of engine oil and/or cylinder heater
is good on the Housai? I have electricity available in the hanger I will
be using. If I only use an oil pan heater, what sort of warm-up procedure will
keep my engine happy? I've noticed comments regarding Carb Ice for the M-14,
is the Housai the same?
Can anyone recommend a list of spares and tools to have at immediate readiness?
What size of portable air compressor would be good for that inevitable day when
I forget to close the main air valve, and what sort of adaptor would I need to
connect to the filler port?
Thanks in advance!
Mike

My calendar shows that the Spartanburg, SC is coming up soon but I can't find any
details on the RPA site or in 'list archives either. Who is the contact here
and which airport is the event being held at?

As far as tools go, see if you can a engine set for the M-14. There some specialized
tools in there that are a big help. Every thing else is metric. Mostly
7mm, 9mm, 11mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm, and 21mm. Just go out and buy a good set
of all sizes of metric tools. Do the same for sockets. I forget what size the
plugs are. One special tool I found very handy is the socket to take off the
oil screen at the back of the engine, however you can find a socket that will
fit that. There are a few specialized tools to remove the compressor and mags,
but you can make these.
An ordinary air compressor will not build up enough pressure to fully load up a
CJ's system to normal pressure. Most guys buy a scuba tank and tap the fill
point on the airplane with a strut valve. They simply have a local dive shop
refill it. You can get 3 or 4 refills from one bottle. One could get a strut
pump or a Cornelius compressor (a 24v 3 stage compressor that was used to charge
guns on various bombers during WW2.) The strut pump is the easiest to find.
You can get a scuba compressor setup but that is way to expensive and way
over kill.
Carb ice for th Housai is the same as the M-14. There's not carb heat as you might
think as on US engines but more of an 'alternate air' source. In that you
take in warmer air from behind the cylinders. The pressure carbs of these engine
are not as ice prone BUT- - - .
Pre heating the engine is as straight foreard as any other. While here is Florida
that's not necessity to say the least, I've seen a different number of set
ups that each persons swears by. Electric heating pads glued to the oil tank
and oil sump, heated dip sticks in the oil tank, electric hot air heaters with
blower fans with insulated blankets to trap the heat. I'm sure you can even
get units that will keep your oil at a set temperature 24/7.
Others on this list can give you better details than I, but these are minor problems
for the CJ. Your biggest problem will be trying to decide which to use.

Just finished watching Sunday night NBC network news. They did a spot on airparks
and commuting to work in your airplane. The example shown was Cameron Airpark
where Brian lives. Sooo, a quick shot of a CJ and mention of a Yak-52 taxiing
by on national news. Good work guys!
