Val,
As the previous owner, I can assure you that there were plenty of
high-pitched voices through your intercom with nary a problem We also used
several different types of headsets over the years, ANR and PNR, without a
hitch. If you are having trouble with the intercom cutting you out, then it
is not a hot-mic trouble but sounds more like a squelch adjustment problem.
Your intercom (PS Eng PMA 1000) is among the best around in attenuating the
high M14P noise. Please remember there are two squelch (and volume)
adjustments, one for each seat. The left outer knob controls the front seat
squelch, the right outer knob adjusts the back seat. Volume is adjusted
with the smaller inner knobs. If you are hearing a lot of background noise,
it may be the rear seat squelch that is the culprit. Also, note that if you
adjust the squelch on the ground, it is completely normal to need to
increase the squelch after getting airborne (turn the outer knobs
clockwise.) Most people choose to leave the squelch at a nominal value that
works well while airborne, without having to yell on the ground to break
squelch. By turning the squelch all the way clockwise, you should be able
to completely squelch out the intercom positions. ATC will hear you
regardless of the squelch position, if you push the PTT switch, If the
intercom is cutting you out, then either turn the left squelch knob slightly
counter-clockwise, or speak louder.
Could the new headsets be the source of trouble? What type are you using?
Are you using the Oregon Aero Mic Muffs I suggested on the headsets? They
are the ones with the leather outer cover over a foam inner filter. They do
a lot to reduce the amount of background noise, reducing the squelch
requiredyou used one when you came to fly with my the first time. I think
most on this list would agree they work wonders; Id try them to see if they
help.
Hope this helped

Subject: Re: Yak-List: Yak-52 intercom
- A problem that I hope someone can help me to rectify before going up
again . . . My CJ has a hot-mic and an M14 engine. I don't know if
it's my high-pitch female voice, the new headsets, or operator error,
but ever since I've acquired the aircraft, I have problems with my
transmissions cutting out intermittently while I'm speaking on the
intercom. I don't know if it's doing the same with ATC or not. Any
ideas on this? (I've tried adjusting the squelch. Maybe I just need to
try harder, but it's really aggravating to me as well as the poor soul
sitting in back.)
Thanks,
-Val

Thanks Drew.
Re: the check valves and gunk in the water separator, etc: I did find a
pellet of it in the firewall mounted T-fitting where two check valves
are and sent it to Doug Sapp where we both decided to replace the whole
thing, and I did. So far I haven't experienced any problems with
strange gage readings, but I haven't had it airborne since the
inspection. Could you do me a favor and briefly list the valves that
you are suggesting I take off and inspect, their location on the CJ/M14
and how the heck do I "blow out" the lines? (I'm still fairly new at
this and don't want to make anything worse than it may or may not be).
Thanks,
-Val

I was going to send my 2 to get repacked. If we can have them repacked in
Waycross that would be great.

domes
Drew,
I have the prop dome and piston in stock, new or used. Also used
hubs, new hubs, and most any prop part you might need to breath life
back into your old hub. Contact me off line if you still need the
parts.
Also, any truth to the rumor that you are good old honest Andrew's new
best pal for CJ's on the east coast now ??
Always Yakin,
Doug Sapp

Val, down here in Florida this started as a thourough annual on this
CJ here in Del Ray beach and quickly turned in to a front to rear
overhaul - I pulled the water-sep from the firewall to get an early idea
and it was growing a biology experiment (well, the organisms had long
past died sometime in the mid-triassic...) one air gage plugged and non
working due to crud, others reading like split packs on the 757 at
cruise ;) (the gage and curved lines to the valves acted like a dead
end sump in the system, and was a nice pilot indicator this system was
internally mucked beyond fubar, we blew out some crystalyzed gunk from
these lines, few anywhere else and replaced the tanks)...but a key issue
I found was a fully rusted out and inop emergency check valve..with the
others in need of cleaning and attention...
If your air system was infiltrated bad, you may want to inspect
these firewall check valves (batch 23 I think has them all firewall
mounted), pricey new ($60), but the springs and seats in ours were down
for the count, that alone is not an expensive replacement at all.
Now on to the leaky prop...anyone got a line on outter domes for the
chinese 2 blade? This one appears shot as is (scored), we have all the
seals from Doug and it's all that should be keeping her from
Waycross...I assume Doug and/or Bill has the domes...in fact, anyone
around the east have a youthful 2-blade or components they want to
unload?

Andre,
I just had the first annual inspection done on my CJ6 with the
Russian
M14P....
engine. I had Dennis Savarese come out to Salt Lake City and train
me
while I assisted in the annual. He is very thorough, to say nothing
of
knowledgeable and it was some of the best money I have ever spent.
We
had a
great time although we did work our proverbial butts off in a cold
hanger.
On my last flight before the annual, I couldn't get the gear up.
There
was
a pneumatic leak hissing on the firewall, which I found in a worn
connection
on the T-fitting (Doug Sapp sent me what I needed to replace it).
That
also
led to my taking the stainless steel water separator apart to
replace
the
filters. I had just recently purchased the aircraft from an
impeccably
thorough owner and it's upkeep was immaculate. That was why I was so
surprised to find about a teaspoon of rust on one side and a
teaspoon
of
mineral deposits on the other. Of course I cleaned it all out and
replaced
the filters as well as running pipe cleaners through the tubing to
try
to
determine if they had rust in them. They didn't... but it had to
come
from
somewhere.
We found the culprit when Dennis (Da' Godfadder) and I checked the
main
air
tank. It was filled with rust, a potentially really bad thing.
Needless
to
say, Doug got more business when I ordered a new one. Dennis said
that
it
appeared that this condition occurred with the owner previous to the
one I
purchased my airplane from, which made sense.
Well, Dennis is back home in his warn little nest in Alabama and I'm
just
waiting for warmer weather to go take my extra large baggage
compartment and
super-dooper smoke system out so that I can get to the air tank and
replace
it. Again, for relatively little cost and immense rewards in getting
to
know your engine, I would highly recommend having Dennis Savarese
come
out
and give you the course he teaches.
Best of luck, Happy Holidays, and fly safe'
Valkyrie
