This change included the re-organization of the Board of Director so each region be equally represented. This proposed change in the bylaws was sent to the membership for a vote and was, if memory serves me right, accepted by the membership with very high numbers. These members voted bylaws have a well define electoral process. This process was followed to the letter for last night's election. EVERY Director did cast a vote. Even the ones that could not attend, their vote being cast earlier that day via email. I understand and appreciate your concerns. However, I must say they are 2 years too late. This debate went on for quite some time on this very medium. But that ship has sailed. The new president was elected by your representative IAW the bylaws voted by the member.

I have seen Sergei Boriak control cylinder head temps by changing jet just EXACTLY as you have said here. Do you have any White Papers, or material that you sell, that explains in DETAIL how to go about making complete and accurate adjustments to these devices?

It would seem that your engine is running hot, and you should change for a smaller compensating jet. (Rob Kent at White Waltham has complete sets). Also it is a question of technique - that is making sure the engine is well cooled down (but not too cold) on landing, so that you can taxi in; run it for 25 seconds at 65% to scavenge the oil and clean the plugs before shutting down, and still have it below 150.

From: "Tim Gagnon" I am probably going to get lit up for this but.... With the limited capacity for cargo we have on these airplanes, has anyone considered a travel pod like the mi folks use? There are some options for the -50 which I am pursuing as we speak. But do the -52's suffer from the same problems? What are some potential draw backs? CG Mounting Weight buds will laugh at you Thoughts?

Tim, I've seen a number of Yak 52s with center line fuel tanks. A travel pod mounted in the same area would work as well. C/G is not to effected if you keep the travel pod's C/G very close to the aircraft's C/G. Drag is always a factor. How much mainly depends on how big the pod is. Pod diameter has more of a drag factor than length. The bigger around you make it the more drag. I had six 2" x 4' rockets mounted under my wings. Total weight was 8 lbs. I could not measure the drag they caused. However when I put two 10" x 4' bombs (copies of Jap Type 97 GPB) which weighted 7 pounds each, the drag was quite noticeable. Build it light. Design it to remove easily. Put on performance restrictions (no acro, < 2 gs or IAS limit) in effect as long as pod is on. Dennis could give you the best mounting points. You do not have to get to elaborate to accomplish what you need.
