Group,
I have been offered a set of brand new Yak 55M wings, complete. This
deal is rare indeed. I do not want to store the wings, so I will not
buy them. If you are interested, contact me offlist.
Also, check out our redesigned website. www.m-14p.com It still has
some bugs, but we are working on the problems. Primashock designed it
and Diego is a great guy to work with - very intuitive and creative.
Carl and I will be at the RPA event in Rockford on May 18 - 20. We
will be speaking Friday night and I hope they will slot us for a
maintenance seminar on Saturday. We decided it was time for some meet
and greet activity and look forward to putting faces with voices/names.

Taking up drinking.....LOL, I have that down pat LOL, Yep, getting out of warbirds.
My wife and I want to retire on a trawler and ply the oceans. So I'm selling
everything, even the cats. So if someone wants a good deal on a nice CJ,
lots of parts, an L-29, a Bonanza, a large house and hangar @ Leeward Air Ranch
give me a call, hell if you bought everything, you would get a really good deal,
I'd even throw in the cats too :)
But seriously, I am motivated so no reasonable offers would be refused. I just
flew the CJ a few days ago with Pappy for a memorial flight, and as usual, everything
worked fine, the airplane has never let me down, and with the spares kit
I have you would probably never be down. But I havent had to use any of my
spares except for a few rocker cover gaskets and prop piston seals. Otherwise
a nice plane.

Gentlemen,
I had the pleasure of flying in Collings Foundation's B-25 Tondelayo
yesterday. Upon start-up it was back firing through the exhaust. During
flight it was not. When it was taxied back and idled it began to back fire
again, only more often. Sounded like a stuck exhaust valve on one
cylinder. This plane used the Wright R2600-92 engine. The pilot explained
it as due to "short exhaust stacks". Can this be true and how? Or was he
just trying to give me comfort? Is this another job for MMO?

Jim B,
Nothing wrong with the engines. The B-25 does have short exhaust stacks and
she "barks" like a bitch. At idle speeds the barking sounds irregular, one
because not all the cylinders have short stacks, and two: the firing order of
the two engines are not synchronized with each other. The engine is very
tightly cowl ed and some of her short stacks maybe only 8 or 9 inches long. She
does sound like something is wrong - but it taint. Tondelayo has given us
little problems since we put her on the line. Her engines have been the
least. Of that vintage of warbird the B-25 is probably the easiest to fly, with
only her engine out Vmc of 145 mph being a real concern.
I've seen the same thing done to a M-14p (some short stacks on some
cylinders and an collection ring on the others. Sounded horrible, but the engine
was
really OK.

| Subject: | Rudder Balance Tube |
I confess, I was whistling through the graveyard when I only visually checked the
Rudder Balance tube during yesterday's "general condition" inspection. Since
I had just re-installed it following the September paint job, I assumed that
all was OK. Came off in my inspector's hands; snapped across clean at the lower
through hole. Inside there was a doubler tube that must have been field installed
in China since it was merely an interference fit and not welded.
Might have happened during a recent flurry of acro flights where I did a lot of
heavy boot moves trying to get the CJ to perform like an Extra. Never gonna happen.
So, I was embarassed that I missed it but grateful that it was found. Doug Sapp
says that the Chinese had a service letter out on this item and later model CJ's
were equipped with a thicker tube. OTOH, my inspector, Tom Scott was a Charles
Taylor award winner, for you wrench types.
Are there other CJ service letters that we don't know about?
