Jason,
I believe the Yak 55M gills are different from the Yak 52 gills.

Royden

Check with Doug Sapp...I sent him a bunch from my airplane after I went to
the Iris.

I just printed out V 2.1 of the Formation Manual so that I would be
refreshed before getting to Sanford. If you haven't done so, remind newbies and
rated
pilots that they should have read and be current with the manual before
arriving. ...B

Herb,
The part pictured is from kit similar to Kimballs clean. The kit was made by
Sergio Dallan. I've got a couple here, I'll try to dig out some pics and
info and post it to the list.

Anyone know where to get the case acess that goes on the right side of the
case when facing the engine? We had a discussion about oil in the cylinders
and fluid lock at OSH. Yeargis has a glass cover on the case that if I
understood correctly allows him to pull the prop through after shutdown -
while he can see the position of the crank. When the crank stops in the
highest 12 oclock position then no oil siphons down into the case. Does
anyone in the US know of this mod? It seems simple and easy to install - 3
bolts unless you have a Yak 52TW with electric starter - then this cover is
used to mount the starter. It also solves the problem of starting with no
oil. I have never heard of it or seen it discussed, yet there it was on
Yeargis' Sukhoi and Sergei knew of it too. Any Euro's on the list know of
it?

Kevin, you are absolutely correct and I agree with every word you have said.
I believe in your system(s), and plan on purchasing them, or at least some
of them, myself.
That said, I am sure that if every M-14 equipped aircraft had the shut off
valve, sooner or later some yahoo would manage to start one with the valve
off. Right now, the ones equipped with the valve are a very small minority.
If after this discourse, anyone has any doubt at all, let me make one thing
perfectly clear: I believe that Kevin Kimball and his associates produce
some of the finest parts and come up with some of the best ideas (relating
to just about anything and everything) that I have ever come across. I
recommend his aircraft, his products and his accessories without doubt or
question. If this sounds like a commercial.... sorry, but I believe when
someone deserves praise, they ought to get it, just as when someone is a
crook, the world needs to know THAT... no punches pulled. I am a strong
advocate and supporter of every single thing Kevin's company stands for, has
made, or has on the drawing board. We're lucky to have someone like him
around.

Mark,
You are correct to point out a lack of 100% fool proof systems in airplanes.
I am not aware of a single 100% fool proof system of any kind in an airplane
including Yaks and Pitts Model 12s. Why? Pilots are human and despite the
best efforts of designers and component developers, these flawed human
pilots still find ways to misuse, not use, and abuse systems.
Your 2 bulleted points are valid but it should be noted that an oil shut off
valve does not eliminate the oil pressure gauge which should be checked at
engine start with or without a clean kit system being installed. Airplanes
with throttle switches, buzzers, barber poles, etc., still land gear up.
I am not aware of any M14 engine loss related to an oil shut off valve and
clean kit, ours or others. Maybe someone has specific data on this to share.
I am aware of many engine losses due to hydraulic lock.
The only real method we have today is the use of check lists and forcing the
pilot to be a creature of trained habit in using various aircraft systems. I
suppose this will have to do until airplanes have full cognitive reasoning
so that they will automatically latch the door or canopy properly, set the
power, retract and extend the gear at the proper times, handle the flaps,
switch fuel tanks, fill the tanks, make sure the gas and oil caps are
secure, the pilot cover is off and the airplane is clear of the hangar door
before the door is lowered. Of course, then there is no need for the pilot,
right?
We can't make everything perfect....only progressively less bad with each
iteration. Besides, once we humans get everything in the world absolutely
correct, there would be no work for engineers, pilots, politicians, doctors,
etc. Then what will I do to earn grocery money? Airplanes will most likely
be illegal by then anyway....
Shut off valves and scavenge systems do make the M14 engine more user
friendly and less messy. However, they have to be used properly in order to
be safe.

Mark, the guy who used to make radial engine exhaust systems in Jumping Branch,
WV was quite expert at bending tubing. I believe he retired and sold the radial
engine exhaust business to either Kimball or Culp. Maybe that kind of expertise
could do the job?

I bought a couple of replacement sections from Steve Culp. I am not sure he took
over the production of the exact pipes though. He does have a few extra sections
fo the exhaust though.
