Subject: Yak-List: Lost video
Hi all,
In the move to a new laptop I have managed to lose a great video I had of
Yak 50's displaying (Ireland I think) set to the music of the Stereophonic
s. Does anyone have it or a link to it? We've had some unusually good weath
er in England so the 18T has been quite busy. +4 and -2 yesterday. Lovely!
Sadly my friend Christophe in France had an incident with his 18 last wee
k. He says that he'd been flying his Cub with tight curved approaches befor
e taking the Yak out. Misjudged his approach and caught the left wing tip
just before flaring to land. He's fine but the aircraft.......
Happy Landings

| Subject: | Aviation User Fees |
I'm not sure if our European YAK drivers have been watching the brewhaha
developing over proposed user fees in the US or not. I have seen an AOPA
video on the additional charges made along the route of flight for an IFR
sortie leaving UK and ending in GY. How do those fees affect the VFR pilot?
It seems our senate has proposed a bill that leaves the current piston
aircraft alone for now. Key word is for now. Anytime the government targets
something for additional tax revenue to distribute to the socially deprived
less fortunate unable to work because I don't have to the governemt takes
care of me societal segement, it is only a matter of time before the wolf
comes to the door again. So saying all that I would like to learn more of
how your system works and what you do to minimise the impact of the
govermental fingers pilfering your hard earned wallet.

Formation qualified or not, even if your Yak, CJ or L-29/39 is down for MX

"near Dallas" ( inquotations as the Texans are scrubbing a few local
airports in the area). Come on out and lets hear your ideas....
We realize it is Mother's Day weekend (Sun), so even if you can show for a
day, or must depart Saturday afternoon, come on out. We found a very
talented free lance aviation photographer (or really he found us) who will
mail you frameable shots of your warbird at no cost except postage (RPA will
cover his supplies).
I've recieved several requests for something in Texas over the years, a
region with ample membership; if you would like to see an annual event,
please attempt to fly out for this local meet and greet. If you are new to
formation ops and interestd in getting started, this is a great opportunity
to see where the program is heading (should be plenty of empty seats for an
observation flight if desired)
We will:
- Have a discussion group/plans session on dates and locations for a
proposed annual event
- Conduct a formation ground school and overview of the new formation manual
tools
- Conduct form flight training, rec rides and evals as required
- Have fun, meet who's who in this area...

Do you know what the cost of this event will be? And what is included? The
RPA site didn't tell me much as I'm not a member.

| Subject: | How is your air bottle doing? |
Most us know of what happened to this Yak-50 when the bottle detonated. The bottle
in my -50 pinholed not too long ago and it has been quite difficult...make
that impossible..to find a replacement. I have gone to a -52 bottle (not cheap)
that will have to be remotely mounted.
This is the second bottle (other was emer) I have replaced due to their poor prior
MX history.
People, you need to make damn sure you are taking care of your bottles. When I
get the mine installed, I plan on cutting my trashed one in half to see the level
of corrosion and damage.
Also, think ahead and consider what you will do when (not if but when) your bottle
needs replaced. For the Yak-52 folks, your better off than us -50 owners.
(Price to pay for owning one of the coolest airplanes on the planet).
We need to figure out a long term solution NOW and we must do it collectively.
The bottles that are "new" are just a bandaid. We need something semi-impervious
to corrosion. Carbon Fiber is what I think is best. Unfortunately to have a
sphere type bottle manufactured is freaking expensive. How much is expensive,
I had one quote of almost $10,000!
Looks as though a cylinder is the way to go but requires modification of the airplane
and mount. I have seen a -50 with this set up and it is really nice and
has four times the capacity of the current bottles...plus some other nice stuff.
Someone smarter than me needs to make a "kit" for replacing these things. They
will need replaced...it is just a matter of time.
Here is a link the post accident report. Think about that happening airborne!

A 4500psi/88cu.ft. carbon fiber tank is around $500. Something like this would
be nearly indestructable. Seems that there might be something rated to a lower
pressure and cheaper.

| Subject: | Re: Aviation User Fees |
I have also seen a news report that "user fees" may include up to 50 cents a gallon
tax to GA , but not the airlines. More than a few things about this whole
subject boils my blood:
- The airline lobby goes out of their way to stick it to GA, and our elected officials
of both parties buy this garbage.
- I thought this White House was fiscally conservative: that being a deep conviction
against new taxes.
- Why can't the APOA and EAA get together on this and present a united front?
- Has anyone (agency) documented that ther even is a problem with FAA funding?
Inquiring Minds and Thin Wallets want to know...

All RPA members,
The FAA funding bill that the White House has endorsed will mean very bad news
for GA. NBAA, AOPA, GAMA and EAA all are united against users fees. Our job is
to contact our Senators and Congressmen to express opposition and urge them
to defeat this re authorization bill. See any of the above groups' website for
more info and help in presenting your arguments and points. If you want your
children and grandchildren to enjoy the skies like we do I urge you all to
GET INVOLVED!

Craig,
To answer your question -
- Has anyone (agency) documented that ther even is a problem with FAA
funding?
Yes, the General Accounting Office has made it quite clear the FAA
financial management is one of the worst managed, if not THE worst
managed in the government. It seems like our elected officials have
completely ignored that fact.

There is a rumor that Blakely has failed the PPL written four times. Not too long
ago, that had an internal audit of their flight ops and found tons of violations!
Typical government operation.
