An incredibly complex issue.
Although we are becoming more and more "unified" different countries
operate differently.
I believe that there are no charges for VFR flights below a certain
weight.
However we pay vastly more than Americans for most things:
a.. 100LL is now over US $9 a gallon in many places.
b.. You are likely to pay a landing fee of at least US $15 to land
almost anywhere, and often far more.
c.. We now have EASA - an entire level of bureaucracy above our
National CAA's, with commensurate additional costs.
d.. Our paperwork charges are immense - they can often be at least US
$1,000 simply for the paperwork relating to an annual.

Scott's starting procedure is right on the money. Steps #6 and #7 is
the things most people do not do which results in the engine not
starting. I believe if you follow Scott's procedure and hit the START
button, the engine will start on the 1st or 2nd blade every time. But
if one forgets to crack the throttle open about 25% as Scott says, you
may end up emptying your air tank.
Whenever I am involved with a new Yak owner, one of the first things I
try to teach them is the starting procedure that works every time. It's
the same procedure Scott has so generously posted to the List.

And being a relatively new 55 owner, my one tidbit to tell you is that
if the engine doesn't start in 1 or 2 blades, stop what you are doing.
It either needs more prime or more blades.
I also throw 1 shot of prime into system while priming the cylinders
I tell you the first tidbit because I emptied my air tank the first
two times I tried to fly and had to get a refill in order to start. It
should take you only about 250 psi to start, unless you aren't quick
enough getting the mags flipped on and advancing the throttle and adding
prime as necessary to start it.
So, basically practice your 1 armed paper hanger skills!

Hi Dean,
My procedure for the 55 is as follows:
1) Intake drains (if present) OPEN, Mags OFF, Battery OFF, Ignition
(="shower of sparks") OFF (That is the small switch on the panel
lower
left, under the mags and starter button)
2) Pull prop through 12 blades
3) Prime about 4-6 shots depending on temp (warmer = less)
4) Pull prop through 12 blades
5) Intakes Drains (if present) OPEN, drain, then CLOSED
6) Prime 3-5 shots
7) Cycle throttle 3-4 times, set to about 25%
8) Battery ON
9) Ignition ON
10) Hit START button, as prop moves, Mags to ON
11) Adjust throttle to about 28-35% rpm, check oil pressure,
Generator
(and all other switches on R-hand panel) ON
Works like a charm. The "shower of sparks" has TWO switches: one is
the
"Ignition" switch and the other is a microswitch on the manual start
valve (behind the panel on the far left). Both must be closed for
the
shower of sparks to operate.
Hope this helps.

Sarah is absolutely correct. I also neglected to add the final step, 12)
Ignition switch to OFF (which is the CENTER position).

Gents, Smash, Val et al and hi Stan hope you got your problem fixed--
I tried. Really.
Undid hydro lock, then left (or is that right?) Texas (near Guthrie/Seymo
ur)
Saturday AM but got ambushed (GPS 120 and less) most of the way to ABQ,
worse west of there at Grants (90 GPS), no way I could land the TW for fu
el
in the x-wind (full rudder, tried twice), back to ABQ (180 GPS) throttle
way
back bingo for a runway into the wind, please expedite. Deteriorating to
the west, spent the night. Sunday all was well but overheard lots of air
file IFR in NM and eastern AZ, had to detour south to Phoenix to stay in
the
blue. Saw one unpainted CJ launch and a CJ 3-ship land while I ate lunch
at
DTV, lots of PanAm (Rove-speak oxymoron?) Cherokees in the pattern both
runways, various accents. AIRMET/SIGMET weather mostly failed to
materialize :>) in the SoCal area, arrived PTV about 6PM. Finally got to
see the pretty flush riveted -50 (sitting near the gas pump when I refuel
ed)
Square tips? Too bad it doesn't have the slick little teardrop canopy
and
fixed gear any more. Otherwise nothing breathing. Oh, well. Continued
to
MYV, landed in the dark (good lighting on the TW). Spent the night,
uneventful back home to KAWO yesterday. Good to be in the green and blue
with mountains again.
BTW most expensive fuel $5.36 at ABQ, $3.95 PTV, cheapest $3.79 at Cottag
e
Grove, OR, though I'm told Scapoose is cheaper. Nice having 74 gallons o
n
board the TW, easy 3+30 legs @ 60% and 150 with healthy reserve except fo
r
my butt on a chute. 32 or even 40 gallons would have been troublesome in
BF
nowhere most of the route Texas to SoCal, especially dodging weather. Di
d I
mention TW she be for sale? 193TTSN etc. Nice. 400hp feels good.
Pussycat. $135K.
Also BTW, as reported by AOPA et al, the Lockheed/FSS takeover has all th
e
earmarks of "tax-cut-privatization" (more Rove-speak), I.e., it don't wor
k
but costs more. Ergo "user fees" bailout, layoffs, closed facilities, gr
oss
deficits, big bonus for CEO. See also national parks, Medicare v. privat
e
insurance, donut hole prescription plan, Iraq etc. To-wit: Briefed over
lunch at DTV via Seattle FSS (800-WXBRIEF) with various system snafus, fi
led
VFR, launched, no, testy Prescott Lockheed/FSS man sez, we don't have no
stinkin' flight plan on file, so you wanna air-re-file you idjoe? No, I
didn't take a 3-hour lunch after filing. And it ain't the environmentali
sts
fault or a socialist plot. Better fatten-up your wallet, Craig, it's
happening here, nose, ears, front feet and hump in the tent already.
Next year?

Doug Sapp has them...
I had a tough time getting the old ones out of my CJ... mine are the
later model "screw in" type, and I couldn't get them to turn at all
no matter
what I tried. Until one morning I awoke with the idea to put a bolt
through the hole that the pin usually occupies and I put big fender
washers and
star washers on each side of the bushing, (small enough to clear the
"housing",big enough to grab metal on the outer part of the bushing )
threaded a nut on the end and tightened it very tight, and used a
socket wrench on the bolt head to
unscrew the entire bushing/bolt/washer/clamp assembly out with hardly
any effort at all!
Most likely everybody knows that trick, but I felt like a genius for
about 1 minute!
Sadly, that was months ago and many minutes have since passed...and
now I feel more like myself again. :(

Doug Sapp is likely. If they are the same as a Yak-52 (I don't know if they
are) there is Carl Hayes or George Coy. I replaced my Yak-52 bushings
recently. I have two extras I can offer if helpful.
