    Subject: flex pipes
    Its real easy to tell what year flex pipe material was made, just look at the date on it !! Last 2 digits of the numbers printed on the pipe are the year. So supposed to be new can be checked very easy. Life depends upon who you listen to but YDB are saying 7.5 years currently. That's a calendar life, i.e. from new material, it does not matter if its been in service or not. Aerostar say 10 yrs. If anyone wants new hoses we can supply, fully assembled, pressure tested and released with anti chafe sleeve. Using material that's not older than 1.5 years. And no we do not supply raw material.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Rob Rowe" <yak-list@robrowe.plus.com> Hi Mike, You might try adjusting the two slotted pots on the front panel of the Baklan 5 transceiver ... sounds like you have a -52 so just pop the tray lid off in the rear cockpit to access the avionics bay & you'll be able to see them (transceiver is the left most box, looking rearward). They're labelled (in Cyrillic, so nearest chars shown) "Cn" & "MOA". "Cn" is receive audio level control. "MOA" is transmit audio level control. Your transmit carrier wave only problem might be over or under modulation ... so try adjusting "MOA" down as well as up to see if this improves the quality. There are some other headset impedance mismatch issues on the receive side that might impact intercom longevity, but lets try & get the basics sorted first. I'm off-line for a few days so will catch up with you later in the week to see how you've got on.

    Subject: SIGHT GLASS for M14 type2
    Ok, I managed to get one of these from Rob, now for the next part of the exercise - I need to paint/mark the gears on the inside, so I can see when they are in the correct position to cut/lessen the oil flow into the engine. So when I look through the glass to line up the gears, I will need something easy to see.. The question - what highly visible ( white or day glo orange) paint would stick and stay? Any suggestions?

    Subject: Aircraft Paint Shops
    I wasn't going to post this message then after hearing I wasn't the only one with this experience I thought I should in fact share my experience so others may learn. Again, this is my experience and personal opinion (Just so happens to be supported by others). I had my aircraft (CJ6) painted a few weeks ago by Masters Aircraft Services in Wickenburg AZ. I know there have been a small hand full of yak and CJ owners that have had their aircraft painted there as well. Some of you may remember they did the AOPA project aircraft last year. I relied on their past examples and never really talked to the owners.. bad mistake. Let me first say, from what I seen, it appeared they did a top notch paint job. The problem started when the Masters painted my aircraft the wrong color. He admitted it was a mistake by either, the main who mixed the paint, the mixer it self or the manufactures code. Either way it wasn't the color we had agreed upon and not my fault. One of the owners Gus, stated to me if I could live with it he would knock a little off and if not he would repaint it. After thinking about it for two days, I decided there was no way I could live with that color. It was an expensive paint job and I wanted the colors we had agreed upon. He said that he would repaint the aircraft and that's when the relationship turned south. He charged me an additional $1000 to repaint the aircraft the correct color. Again it wasn't my fault the aircraft was painted the wrong color! Since the whole aircraft had to be repainted I wanted to change one of the shades to a darker color. Another $1000, because he stated, I got unfair advantage of his screw up and he had to charge me extra. Then he informed me he did 60hrs of body work. He provided no pictures and according to contract all extra work needed to be agreed upon by both parties. My airframe was staight and didn't need anything close to 60 hrs. That never happened. Then I noticed all small upgrades that were verbally agreed on, all were raised in price about 40%. I asked many times for an updated price as the project went on but only a week before it's completion he offered an updated Price sheet. By then all work was done. When I questioned him about all these off the wall charges, there was no explanation, just that it is what it is. When I pushed the issue it lead to him having a tantrum similar to my 6 year old nephew. I had two chooses in his eyes, pay the amount he stated or the aircraft was going to be pushed in the street. At this time Wickenburg runways were under construction and there were no taxi ways or runways to fly out with. In my eyes the chooses were, get the plane out with a trailer and take him to court for clear violation of contract. In the end he screwed me for about $1500 more then we agreed. $1500 is not worth my time chasing this Thur court and eating up the next 6 months of my life. This management style is nothing short of extortion as well as very poor business practices. I would have gotten a great paint job for the contracted price but in stead over paid for what I got. I hope anyone willing to have their aircraft painted and wishes to use Master Aircraft in Wickenburg AZ to clearly consider other options. Even is you have a fortified contract, is it worth the time you will spend in court??? In my opinion Gus and Masters Aircraft are un-ethical and shouldn't be used.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: david@mcgirt.net No, just top off, and you can make 1 or 2 flights easy with no additional air. Remember , our TW's have hyd. breaks..
