Thanks LawnDart,
I'm still not clear on the various originations of these engines.
Apparently mine will be coming from Bulgaria. I wonder if there is a web
page around that gives the rookie some details on where all the various
M14's are coming from?

Re: Yak-List: Re: Radial Rocket, Greetings from NashvilleThe US Aerostars

Ok,
I am sure I am not the only one to think about this, so I will ask the
group.
Has anyone thought about attaching a mask to an air scrubber to clean the
air we are breathing in the cockpits? Say using a O2 mask for our helmets,
and finding something for the other end?
I know Pappy has done a lot of studies on the amount of CO2 and Carbon Diox
in the cockpit, and I hope to borrow his monitor in Waycross next week to
monitor my A/C.

| Subject: | Breathing Clean Air - Masks? |
I know a lot of Carbon monoxide is getting into my 50 simply by the way
I feel after flights that are longer than normal. Not really a good
thing. I fly summer and winter with that small vent by the front
windscreen open ALL the time and try to breath THAT air. If one could
verify that said air from that source is "clean", it would not take a
lot to build a cover and hose that then fed a mask.

Yes I have thought of it. The problem is the scrubbers are activated by heat to
take up CO and convert it to CO2. There are a couple of companies that make facemask
for the woodlands fire fighters. Again activated by hot air as I can deduce
from their literature. It uses your expired gases from respiration to activate
the porous gel pelets. The mask is a real attention getter! It would take
doing PFT's on someone using the mask to see what their work of breathing is
exercising to see if it is practical for the YAK/CJ drivers.
Whiffs is the company that makes the CO scrubbers for NASCAR. They will not even
talk to me. Guess, I do not represent enough income for them!

Not the wobble pump this is the primer. Under pilots right elbow
Pos #1 would be when it is turned counter clockwise and pos#2 would be when
it is turned clockwise.

Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are different. Are you monitoring CO (carbon

Good points, the other thought I had was to create a new fresh air duct out
on the wing , and route that into the cockpit to feed a mask or at least the
cabin area.. I have done several 6+ hour trips in my bird, and they all
ended with me a lot for fatigued than I should have been.. so I would really
like to find a better solution.

Stephen;
The primer used in the C J is identical to the standard Russian primer used
in theYak, Sukhoi, etc. It is designed as a dual purpose hand fuel pump. The
center position is off - where it must be at all times when not in use.
One side is plumbed to the intake manifold for priming prior to start. The
other side is plumbed into the carburetor to act as an emergency fuel supply
in the event of failure of the engine driven fuel pump. This description
applies to all installations (that I know of) EXCEPT for the CJ.
The CJ has a separate emergency fuel wobble pump so does not require the
lower capacity primer pump. It has been modified for the CJ installation by
the addition of a bypass line so that both sides prime the manifold.
So use clockwise or c'clockwise to prime but be sure it is down and centered
when you are finished.

| Subject: | Breathing Clean Air - Masks? |
Good point, on the top of the tail would not work, there is not enough room
inside to get a good size hose down the middle of the tail... just ran a
video cable through there, and THAT was a pain.. but on the fiberglass on
the front of the tail would not be a bad spot.. easy to route from there..

I had a similar idea, but was going to put a NACA duct near the top of
the tail to bring in fresh air. haven't done it yet.

100% O2 supplied by a closed circuit to a tight fitting aviator's mask. The fresh
air source out in the wing is a good idea also. Had though that might work
to but have been lazy!

Good points, the other thought I had was to create a new fresh air duct out on
the wing , and route that into the cockpit to feed a mask or at least the cabin
area.. I have done several 6+ hour trips in my bird, and they all ended with
me a lot for fatigued than I should have been.. so I would really like to find
a better solution

Yes I have thought of it. The problem is the scrubbers are activated by heat to
take up CO and convert it to CO2. There are a couple of companies that make facemask
for the woodlands fire fighters. Again activated by hot air as I can deduce
from their literature. It uses your expired gases from respiration to activate
the porous gel pelets. The mask is a real attention getter! It would take
doing PFT's on someone using the mask to see what their work of breathing is
exercising to see if it is practical for the YAK/CJ drivers.
Whiffs is the company that makes the CO scrubbers for NASCAR. They will not even
talk to me. Guess, I do not represent enough income for them!

Ok,
I am sure I am not the only one to think about this, so I will ask the group.
Has anyone thought about attaching a mask to an air scrubber to clean the air we
are breathing in the cockpits? Say using a O2 mask for our helmets, and finding
something for the other end?
I know Pappy has done a lot of studies on the amount of CO2 and Carbon Diox in
the cockpit, and I hope to borrow his monitor in Waycross next week to monitor
my A/C.

I put a simple scoop on in place of the bottom header tank panel of
the CJ. It seems to solve most of the problem by having negative psi
in the cabin. Most folks with smoke say it starts creeping in from
the tail and works forward . Either way it seems to stop it and a big
increase in cooling air for the cabin in summer. Open a vent and
there is more airflow with help from the vent air out. Attached is a
picture. There are no changes to the plane. Only took day to make. I
have a son with lung problems and he noticed the difference without
telling him. You can't blow air into a bottle unless there are 2
large holes IE vent and exit
