| Subject: | YAK-50 Prop Question |
Mark,
I've ordered an MTV-9-260 with the Russian K-flange that will be mounted end
of May (at the factory in Straubing, Gemany). A 260 is perfectly possible on
a Yak 50. On the 52 it's rather the 250 to be installed.
I don't consider the mounting myself since I don't have the equipment nor
the experience for the dynamic balancing.
Richard Goode is very knowledgeable about these props. Have a glance at his
website.

Subject: Yak-List: YAK-50 Prop Question
Looking for some feedback from YAK-50 owners that are lucky enough to be
running 3 bladed props.
Except for one Hoffman, most of the folks I have talked to are running MT's.
What I need to know is whether you are running a 250 or a 260 ? Is the 260
so long that wheel landings are a threat to the blades or is there plenty of
room?
All comments welcome.

| Subject: | Re: 2 cents on uncontrolled fields |
It is great to see everyone with an opinion and the real answer lies
somewhere in the safe balance of them all.
Is anyone able to to go through all the near miss notes and create an
article, for the newsletter and possibly leading to a "best practices"
or
further YAK Standardization, form manual etc. .
If we had a best practices, or standardized way of operating in
uncontrolled
fields, published, copyable onto an 81/2 x 11 sheet of paper for
dissemination at or prior to fly ins etc. it may give the non-formation
pilots who have an interest something to learn about and increase
awareness
of our aircraft in that world.
All of the effort going into this and some of the other topics is lost
after
the topic dies down. Does anyone have the time to catalog it.

| Subject: | Aerostar Performances |
While most folks were long gone from Sun n Fun by Sunday, they missed Sunday/Monday
performances by the Aerostars, a 3-ship Yak 52TW team based in Northern IL.
Good performances with some original moves. It seemed a little strange to hear
only the deep rumble of the engines rather than screech of prop tips going
sonic. I was used to lots of prop noise from the T-6's of AeroShell and 450 stearmans
of the Red Barons so it was an interesting contrast. BTW, the 52TW makes
a fine plane to watch as a spectator. Not too small, good looking in the air,
just about the right speed to keep the performance in close to the crowd.

| Subject: | Re: YAK-50 Prop Question |
Mark,
I currently have a MT-260 prop on my Yak50. So far so good. I really like the looks
of the 260, with its added length over the Hoffman 250 that was formerly
on the airplane.
The performance is definitely superior to both the Hoffman and the two blade. 4500
feet/min. vs the 3500 of the two blade.
I believe that the 260 has a 500 lb. static thrust advantage over the two blade
and a 250 lb. thrust advantage over the Hoffman 250.
Speeds are about the same with any of the props.
Let me know if I can help.

All,
I just had an SL-30 installed which is breaking squelch on certain
frequencies. It may be a myriad of things, including antenna location but I
was wondering if anyone knows of any Yak specific gotchas with this
installation?
Thanks in advance

Any A&P's out there willing to do an annual on an L-29? I have all tools, manuals,
maintenance checklist. I have done the grunt work for the last 7 years on
it, but I lost my A&P.
Thanks

| Subject: | Wanted - Yak Bungee cord brackets |
I am looking for at least 2 of these mounts - I am probably not calling them
by the right name, but the mount that is attached to the aileron/elevator
tube in a standard Yak, that was used to attach bungee cords to in the
"trainer"
I would like to find two, if you have some, I would love to buy them,
contact me directly if you like

Oh! You mean the centering spring brackets. They were not bungee cords
David. They were actually spring mechanisms. I still have the original
brackets in my airplane, but without the centering springs. Mine are not
for sale though. You may have some difficulty finding them.

| Subject: | Re: SNF Near Misses |
It seems to me that one of the near misses being discussed here (Zephyrhillshas)
has less to do with formation flying and more to do with operating at an uncontrolled
airfield without being up on the unicom frequency. It is very easy to
say that the formation led to this happening but I beg to disagree. The 2 aircraft
were off frequency for different reasons, #2, a mistake, and the mooney
- who knows, but without the common frequency you've already got a recipe for
disaster. If 4 aircraft had entered the circuit in close proximity as singletons
(as some are suggesting as a solution), I dare say the same thing could and
would have happened.
Having said that I am an advocate of making the formation fit the local conditions.
So, when you make calls - especially at uncontrolled airfields, you call
'joining deadside' not 'initial' and then 'crosswind' not 'on the break'. And
if you have to extend through initial before breaking to allow for other traffic
then so be it. Just as is the golden rule with leading formations, you've got
to be predictable and I think in the case of 'mixing it up' with other aircraft
you have to be predictable to aircraft outside the formation as well. This
comes down to letting them know in plain language so they can understand what
you are doing. Your formation should not be so inflexible that you cannot allow
for other traffic. I know it doesn't look as good but what about splitting
to 2 pairs in trail for the circuit entry? - gives all wingmen a bettter chance
of seeing what's going on in the circuit, and if you have to do something radical
its alot easier as a pair than a 4. There's always, of course, the random
factor of some cloth ear doing something really dumb. Sounds like it would
be pretty difficult allow for what the Mooney did apart from having your head
on a stick, as the guys in question obviously did.
My 10c worth

| Subject: | SL-30 Installation |
Update - squelch problem fixed. There's another issue. Both the SL-30 and
the original Russian Radio are installed completely independent of one
another. The only place they connect is the headset jack. For some reason,
the volume controls on the Russian radio and intercom now working in
reverse! The radio still transmits and receives just fine. I do not
pretend to be an electronics guy and my avionics installer is scratching his
head. Anyone have any ideas what would cause this to happen?
