Just an observation here, long time owners of these aircraft recognize that Russian
philosophy of design is different that what we see in our $1000 per/toliet
seat U.S. government contracts. Russians are very practical, they matched the
machine and material to the mission. The MiG is a good example, smooth rivets
where needed, dome heads where not. Flying blowtorches for short range interceptors,
super-efficient "Bears" for extreme long-range cruisers.
Primary aerobatic trainers are built with gear that stands up to forced landings,
bridge rivets that don't pull through. Ugly as sin, but then again they can't
all be Chinese CJ's :>)

Though that was the case. Was hesitant to say but...what an ass!
Maybe the liberals need to check out You.tube at this url.
www.youtube.com/v/-HlaVpqUXF0
Maybe Mr. Distortion will get the message! Probably not until their sabers are
falling on the back of his liberal neck screaming the entire time"Daddy, you got
to get me out of Viet Nam." They want me to go to the boonies to report on
the war. Went home after 4 mo and never got a tour of the outback! Chicken &^%$#.
Call that a Success! His name should be under Google for failure!

My Russian friend
If you knew that the quality was there.. then you wouldnt be offended. Im glad
we have guys like you to help us here on the net. Thank You! But This issue boils
down to more than just simple mechanical issues. This has more to do with
the horrible machining and, foreign material inclusions in surface of the dome.
There are some aspects of this plane that I find are just great. This comes
down to more than $100 toilet seats (although that is funny) and American arrogance.
After 15 years in the aerospace industry ..I can tell you that U.S made
aircraft parts are the best in the world! How about the wonderful 5mm sparkplug
wires on the Yak???? Just like the HT cable on my lawn mower!!!! Yes they
do workbut so did duct tape and corrugated plastic hose on Apollo 13. In closing
. Im always the one sticking up for Russian planes when my Navy buddies spout
off on how easy it was to shoot them out of the sky.

Not sure what this has to do with YAKs but it has Nothing to do with anyone on
the board at Google. It is called GoogleBombing and can be done to any search
engine.

Hi All You Yak Experts,
Don't laugh out there, but I just bought a YAK-55M, having little
experience with YAKs & M-14Ps, and am not an A&P. I have read all the
manuals, and have tons of questions for which that I'd like to get
opinions & answers. So here goes the first installment:
TIRES
1) Tires. The previous owners used retread 400x150 tires from two
different US retread suppliers. From the logs the current set have 64
landings and my judgment says they need changing. The previous set of
retreads were changed after only 39 landings. The wear pattern is
completely smooth on one half and almost full tread on other half the
tire. What's the usual number of landings you folks are getting out of
tires (new or retreads) and what gives with the YAK-55 wear pattern? Is
something out of adjustment or is this just the way they wear with
spring gear. The book says the tires can be turned around which implies
they wear more on one side than the other.
2) New Tires.I decided to start over with tires and bit the bullet
for new tires from Desser. I bought Aero Classic 6 ply 400x150 which
were the only tires that size I could readily find. When they arrived
they seem to be the same as the retreads except they are at least 1.5
inches narrower tread width than the retreads of the same identical
size. So what's the deal with the difference in size ? When I mount them
and inflate them.can I expect they will expand to a comparable width.or
is there something basic I'm missing about tire sizes ?
3) Tire pressure.The YAK-55M manual says inflate the tires to 3.0
+0.5 KF/CM2, which by my calculation is ~42psi, max 49psi. However, the
new Desser 6 ply sidewall data says to inflate to a maximum of 30 psi.
There is no inflation data on the sidewall of the retreads. Is this
because Russian tires are 4-ply.I tried Desser for an answer and they
don't know.
4) Tail wheel pressure.This airplane has a 200x80 tailwheel with a
tube, and the Russian manuals are absolutely silent about inflation
pressure. Can't find any data for a 200x80, but 30 psi seems to be about
right.what are the rest of you folks using ?
OPERATING LIMITATIONS
1) The markings for operating limitations on all the instruments
are falling off and need replacement, which I thought would be straight
forward.not so. The FARs are clear with respect to the airspeed
indicator (redline, yellow arc and green arc, etc.), but totally
ambiguous wrt to the other instrumentation. After looking at 7~8 cockpit
photos of YAK-55s, YAK-52s, and a bunch of Sukhio's one thing is
clear.no two are alike in the way the operating limits are marked.
Anybody want to venture an opinion as to how to properly mark the Oil
Temp, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure, and Cyl Hd Temp., Etc or is this
totally my choice under Experimental - Exhibition ?

George Hendricks
