| Subject: | YAK52 aileron spades |
Hi,
Does anybody know about aileron spades on a YAK52?
I am not speaking off servo tabs like the one fixed on the tips of the
aileron but of spades similar to the one we find on Pitts or Bellanca
Decatlon.
I have seen a YAK52 for sale in the USA with these type of spades installed
Many thanks
Jacques Bodart(Yak flying group in Belgium)

| Subject: | Interesting for spam can owners. |
Yes, saw it on AV web yesterday. Interesting, doubt insurance has anything to do
with it. More like they missed something and got bitten by a lawyer for it.
Just a guess though. Liability is more likely the cause of this company chosing
not to take care of GA A/C older than 15 years.
If this takes off, FAA will have to declare all spam cans experimental! That would
be good and bad. Bad for those that have not got clue what the difference
between a box end and open end wrench is! Nor how to read a tech manual.

Facilities Wont Work On Airplanes 18 Years Or Older?
Aircraft owners in Kansas and parts of the Southwest are worried about a policy
adopted by one and possibly two aircraft maintenance providers to refuse to work
on aircraft that are 18 years or older. A customer of Kansas City Aviation
Center in Olathe, Kan., who asked not to be identified, told AVweb that officials
of KCAC, a Piper dealer, told him they would no longer lift a wrench on anything
beyond that age, including Piper products. He said he was told by company
officials that its an insurance issue. A phone message and an e-mail request
for an interview left Friday with KCACs maintenance supervisor were not returned
by our deadline, nor was an e-mail request for comment from Piper Aircraft.
The time span coincides with the liability limit that forms the crux of the
General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994, the legislation credited with revitalizing
GA manufacturing. In a nutshell, the law immunizes aircraft manufacturers
and the makers of parts and subcomponen
ts from product liability lawsuits after the aircraft reaches the age of 18, or
18 years after the installation of the part. In an analysis of the law that
appeared in AVweb in 2001, lawyer Phillip J. Kolczynski wrote that limiting the
liability on one party (the manufacturer) necessarily shifts it to others, and
among those are mechanics and the shops where they work.
A Trend In The Works?
After word spread on Web forums about the Kansas situation, at least one other
instance of a similar policy was reported in a chain of FBOs that operates in
the Southwest. The firm, said to be Cutter Aviation on the Malibu Mirage Owners
and Pilots Association online message board, hasnt returned telephone or e-mail
message requests for an interview. The Kansas pilot we did speak with told
us his main fear is that the policy will spread and could result in owners of
older aircraft being unable to obtain service or repairs while traveling. Meanwhile,
Kevin Mead, the owner of a shop in Hutchinson, Kan., says he doubts the
insurance industry is driving the issue. Meads shop specializes in Piper Malibus,
including extensive modifications, and hes heard nothing from his insurance
company about an 18-year limit. Theres been no restriction on our insurance,
he said. Mead said there are only a few insurance companies that cover aircraft
maintenance facilities, so he
said its likely that if one had instituted an 18-year limit that others would
at least be talking about it. He also noted that liability still remains a major
concern in the industry.

| Subject: | Re: Towbars vs Winches |
I have also looked at the options everyone has mentioned. I like the
winch idea as I have had it in a previous hanger - but I cannot put
one in my existing hanger due to airport nazi reg's.
I did not want to spend the 600-800+ $ on a manufactured tug.
I bought a used lawn tractor out of the paper with no mower deck on
it then welded up a tailwheel tow bar for the Yak and the Wilga. 200
$ for the tractor and 2 hours to weld up - I assume other tailwheel
tow bars are out there (or options for the CJ that could tow from the
rear - even options that could unload the nose wheel to help steer.
I really like my set up as I am also uphill into the hanger, often
ice covered and fly alone half the time.
Cheap - works well - I even tow out to the community fuel location
then leave the tractor - fly - taxi in to the fuel - tow back into
the hanger. My tractor is STC'd for 100LL and I use about 2-3
gallons a year is all (with MMO of course)

| Subject: | rough running engine |
Hi everyone, I am new to this yak list, but I have been flying and
maintaining my Yak for the past two years. For the past several months I
have experienced an intermittent "rough running" engine. At first I
thought it could be carb-ice, but nope... Then, I thought maybe it could
be the spark plug wires, new plug wires answered that question... nope.
I still had a rough running engine. It seemed it was more prone to the
problem in colder air temperatures (40F). It would happen
intermittently, occasionally it has happened on climb out, but it would
also happened at cruise and even on the ground, at all throttle
settings. Generally when it happened at cruise speed, you could feel it
start to come on, it would start with a slight vibration and then a
violent vibration that would shake the instrument panel, sometimes with
a backfire, and then smooth out and run ok until next time. The duration
of the rough running was usually less than 5 seconds, not really long
enough time to trouble shoot it.... Finely, the other day it did it four
times. I was able to do a mag check this time and it had no change. When
the cyl temp would cool to 160 or so it would mis-fire. If you keep it
at 190 it was better, but it would still happen. So, if you let the CHT
cool down to 160, you could count on the chance of "chili" in your
shorts if you weren't ready for it... Then, I replaced the intake gland
seals... and no more misfire!!! I have been out several times since
replacing the Gland Seals, trying to make it mis-fire (allowing the CHT
down to 160) and it seems the problem has been fixed!! . The gland nuts
were tight but they would not seal, when they got warm they would seal.
It runs smoother has better idle . Turns out to be the single cheapest
thing with the best improvement I have done to my yak

Dear Fellow Red Star Comrades...and Blitz... ;)-
I hope that 2007 is off to a fine start for you. Here in SoCal it's
been in the 70's and CAVU for the last week....heck, I've even been
able to fly a time or two! ;)
As we begin to plan our year and submit those pesky program letters,
I'm pleased to tell you that we have set the dates for ARS VI as May
2-6, 2007.
More details to follow, but this year is already shaping up nicely
with an F-22 test pilot as our guest speaker, and greater involvement
from the city of Porterville.
If anyone has any interest in being a part of the volunteer team to
help ARS continue to be the best darned warbird fly-in in the
country, please contact me directly. We currently have needs in the
following areas:
-Aircraft judging
-Auction donations
-Accounting
-Ground/Ramp Boss
-Flight Scheduling
-Evening events
-Sponsorship
We've really enjoyed the first 5 years of ARS, and look forward to
another five! Fly safely, and we'll see you in May!
Cheers,
Barry
