    Subject: Re: Canopy wide open
    Just so happens I can provide some numbers here. My rear canopy is a little tricky to latch, luckily I made new stops before one particular low pass at 196 KTS, no wind, GPS. Then there was a Sun 'n Fun 60 race where that rear canopy popped open on takeoff. Stayed open all the way, limiting my average speed to 158 KTS. During the flight I'm thinking "*&%$/*@ gear doors are hanging! When flying on Lead's wing with Lead's canopy open or at the notch, closing the canopy will cause the wingman to increase power to hold position. Craig Payne cpayne@joimail.com

    > Does not sound like a problem Tim. 170C (CHT) and 70C (oil) is right where they should be. Can't speak to the Yak 50/52 but the CJ problem (with the Huosai) is cold oil - barely 50C most of the time. CHT is easily controlled by the shutters. Those temps were in a nice leisurely cruise. In the pattern buzzing around, the oil creeps up to 80 or 90+. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=119354#119354

    Define "on the front"? On the front of the gauge? And pardon me for behing half awake, but the CHT for the front seat gauge in the CJ is around one of the #4 sparks and the CHT for the back seat gauge is around one of the #1 cylinder spark plus, yes?

    Jay When the CJ goes inverted, the oil stand pipe in the oil tank gets filled. When it comes back to level flight this oil drains out and dumps a few ounces of oil. If you could just get that oil to stay, or return to the tank. problem solved. The Huosai has an atmospheric vent on top of the supercharger. You will find a thumb screw cap in the vent tube. Plumb the oil tank vent hose to this thumb screw opening. I took the vent off the engine and threaded it for a * inch barbed hose fitting to match the oil tank hose. (I seem to remember 1/2 inch?) No more leaking oil. It has been this way for 40 hours now with no problems. It's a quick fix that works. I have seen one other CJ with the same fix.

    Subject: An excellent Titanium exhaust welder
    I had a crack in the titanium exhaust repaired on my Yak-55M by an excellent place in NJ. They also fabricated extensions to the outlet. They specialize in exhaust repairs on materials ranging from stainless, inconel, and titanium. I shipped them the parts UPS, they repaired and shipped back. General Air Inc. 23a Vreeland St. Lodi, New Jersey 973-478-0818 http://www.4genair.com/ It's easy to find someone to weld/repair these metals. It's difficult to find someone capable of doing it correctly. I hope the above recommendation helps someone else. -John ps, thanks Sergei Looking for a deal?
