Ah, another round of history re-write, somehow, I knew that was going to happen.
One thing I do remember from our discussions with Bushi Cheng is that the Chinese
design team made the rounds of training bases and met with the PLAAF IP's.
The IP's favored using something like the CJ-5/Yak-18's, but with improvements.
Cheng also mentioned that the inventory of equipment they had was limited to the
russian stuff, such as instruments, wheels, tires, etc.

I have to chuckle a bit here. This issue of confusing CJs for Yaks if mostly your
own (and your association's) doing. Back in the day when the association
was in it's infancy I brought up the point of why do you call it the Yak Pilot's
Assocation - answer from the top at that time "no one knows what a CJ is."
Hmmm, I though one of the directives was to inform and educate the public, not
misinform. And so we arrive today with this issue...

Oh and the Chinese government must be confused as well. Since the
import documents of one of the CJ6A's I looked at purchasing a few years
back had YAK-18 all over the documentation. But then again, that is
just their government being confused.

Yes, and I don't like to be lied to.
Bushi Cheng stated very emphatically that they started with a clean
sheet of paper. He also stated that he didn't see the Yak18A in Russia
until after he designed the airplane.
I'm saying that is impossible that they designed the aircraft from
scratch (CLEAN sheet of paper).
Why is the wing bent in the same location as the Yak18?
Why isn't the wing strait, all the way out?
Why is the cowl design the same?
Why is the nose gear and shimmy damper the same?
Why is the antenna in the exact same place and shape?
Why is the oil cooler system the same layout?
Why is the cockpit layout very similar?
Why is the step on the wing the same?
Why is the landing light the same?
Why are the gills the same as the Yak-18A yet not like the Yak-18/CJ5?
I could go on.... Copy, no. Close, eh maybe. But they certainly took
the Yak-18A basic design and improved the hell out of it. And they
certainly didn't design it from a clean sheet of paper. Again, I don't
like to be lied to.
What I don't understand is why people think it takes away from the
CJ6A? It doesn't. The airplane stands on its own because it survived
and the other airplanes didn't. What other airplane design has been
manufactured for over 47 years? It is a great airplane, but the
designer(s) didn't do it on their own, with no influence from other
aircraft. And that is what Bush Cheng stated when he said he didn't see
the Yak-18A prior to his design and that he did it from a clean sheet of
paper.
Actually one thing I wish they had taken from the Yak-18A was the
ability to open the sides of the airplane and work on it. It would be
SOOOO much easier to work on the systems that way.

For all those who may be interested, I have found a supplier metric 'dural
aluminium' tubing for Yak's. I have around 50 metres of the 6mm O.D. air
line in stock, available in lengths up to 3.5m.
I don't as yet have a good supplier for the end fittings but do have some of
these available if necessary.
Contact me off list for info.

Subject: Yak-List: Copper Tubing For Replacement Air Line???
I spent hours Friday searching for metric aluminum tubing to replace damaged
tubing connecting the main air valve, terminating at the aft bulkhead next
to the rear seat. I bought a roll of 1/4" copper tube and decided to resize
and use the metric fittings from my old air line. I tried a few different
methods of shrinking the tube with poor results. I decided to tie one end of
the copper to my trailer hitch and the other to a come-a-long attached to
another vehicle. I stretched the tube and checked the diameter with a
micrometer until I had the desired diameter. My shade tree engineering
worked better than I hoped for. I replaced the damaged tubing with the newly
sized copper used the original fittings and went flying. I was told 1/4"
tubing (un-stretched) is good for 4000 psi. I am guessing if I lose half the
strength in the stretching process, I still have a safety factor of around
2. Are there any reasons why I shouldn't use copper?

And why should their government be any different than our government?
Is it not the normal state for government bureaucracies to be
confused? And their bureaucracy does not have the checks-and-balances
that ours does (no elected officials looking to get re-elected to go
bash the bureaucrats in exchange for your vote). I would think it
more likely that the government officials found it much easier to
refer to all the trainers as Yak-18A than to come up with completely
different paperwork. After all, they looked the same to the
bureaucrat so why make more work? The pilots and mechanics still did
the right thing regardless of the printing on the paper. ;-)
But who did what to whom and who wrote what when is not the real
issue. The real issue is whether or not one aircraft is a copy of the
other. All I can say is that, if you walk up to both aircraft you
will see so many substantial differences that you cannot help but
conclude that they are different airplanes. I have done so as has
Pappy, Craig Payne, and a couple of other people (I forget who all
was there at OSH that year -- it may have been the year that Bushi
Cheng was there). It was *VERY* clear that the Yak-18A and the CJ6A
were *VERY* different airplanes. On that basis and that basis alone I
claim that it is not reasonable to claim that the CJ6A is a Yak-18A.
So, we have seen it with our own eyes and are not relying on anyone's
(questionable) second-hand information. All I suggest is that the
rest of you do the same and *THEN* make your own decision.
BTW, this seems to be a problem with some people who populate this
list. They tend to side with this person or that person without every
bothering to check the facts. And, no, pointing to one site on the
Internet does not constitute checking facts as anyone can publish
anything regardless of accuracy. (OTOH, looking up many disparate
sources on the Internet can be a valuable adjunct to proper research.)
Oh, and I am doing some real research into lubricating oils to try to
determine what I think the inlet and outlet oil temperature limits
should be for our engines. I will satisfy myself and I will present
the information here for your use. The purpose will be to provide
information from which you can draw your own conclusions. You will be
free to use or discard the information as you see fit.

Sure it was. Clean-sheet means that you start drawing from a blank
sheet of paper and not start by copying any particular part of the
other aircraft. Certainly they had some constraints. They were using
the existing instruments, pneumatic components, avionics, and cockpit
layout. They were seeking very similar performance and handling
characteristics. They were presented with similar engines. There were
going to be great similarities as a result.
Here is an analogy. Given a set of market requirements, features, and
a price point, go design a car. I don't think that Ford and GM copy
each other but, damn, their cars are an awful lot alike at any give
price point. And I suspect that they too start with a clean sheet
with the exception that they perhaps decide to reuse certain
subassemblies like engines, drive trains, etc.

If you decide to use a single straight spar section to which to
attach the gear, you are going to get a similar structure if you
still want dihedral.
> Why isn't the wing strait, all the way out?
Because you want dihedral to give the airplane more static stability.
After all, it is a trainer and you are going to teach newbies to fly
in it. Stability is a very desirable trait in a trainer as is the
ability to withstand students "dropping it in" from 15 feet. That
gear and the spar it is attached to needs to be hell-for-strong. The
single straight spar carry through is both very simple and very strong.
> Why is the cowl design the same?
It is wrapped around an engine with the same dimensions.
> Why is the nose gear and shimmy damper the same?
They already had them in stock and used them. There is no doubt that
the Yak-18A flew in China. There is also no doubt that the CJ6A did
not actually enter the inventory until something like 1963. By then
they may have decided to modify the design to use the same nose gear
assembly so as to reduce their spares requirements.
> Why is the antenna in the exact same place and shape?
Antenna placement is a function of performance. It would not have the
same radiation pattern elsewhere. Or it could have been simpler than
that: it just looked OK there and they could use the same fittings
and wiring.
> Why is the oil cooler system the same layout?
Because they use the same oil cooler? Ever looked inside a spam can?
There are a LOT of spam cans from different manufacturers who put the
same oil cooler in the same place on different different airplanes
from different manufacturers. Is that a copy?
> Why is the cockpit layout very similar?
Standardization. The cockpits of the eastern bloc aircraft are all
very similar right up through the modern-day jets.
> Why is the step on the wing the same?
Because people get up on the wing there and they had some left in stock.

Because they had them in stock.

You can start with a clean sheet but still use a lot of components
you have in stock.

In 1957 it is possible that he hadn't.

You can't do that with a monocoque structure as the skin carries the
loads. If you build a steel frame skeleton the skins carry no load so
you can take them off without any effect on the structure. Oh, there
is a major structural difference between the aircraft!
Do you remember the baggage door on Betty? Bushi looked at it and
advised me that the structure might be compromised. He looked at all
the additional structure that had been put in to carry the loads
around the door and decided that it might be good enough but that
does point out a problem with monocoque construction.
I have now had several people question the veracity of Bushi Cheng. I
found him to be a delightful, intelligent, learned person in the area
of aviation and aerodynamics. He has all sorts of credentials for the
design of much larger and more complex aircraft than the CJ6A. I
certainly can see no reason why he should lie about that. Also, give
Pappy some credit for his search for the designer. Remember, the
people who pointed him to Bushi Cheng probably garnered no benefit
from doing so.

To all:
Hey guys I have several CJ6's here which I am parting out. Two of them
are very late model, brand new, *never flown aircraft* which were
damaged in a trucking accident while being transported from the port.
The third is a 1969 CJ6. So if you need a piece of CJ6 tubing or
fittings give me a call, no reason to attempt reinvent the wheel and end
up with something which may be less than safe. My inventory is now to
the point where I can supply most any part for the CJ6, parts are my
business.
Always Yakin,

Does anyone know of a firewall-mount base for the Marion S-28 MG oil
filter? Also any benefit of going with an ADC or Airwolf? Thanks.

I'm going to be up in Michigan the week after Labor Day and was
wondering if there are
any Yakkers/CJer's around Grand Rapids? Or up near Traverse City?

I installed a Airwolf filter on my 52, Airwolf has the photo's of the install I
did and the modifications to the oil system to make it fit. Airwolf will explain
why a filter is better than a screen and the benefits. Filter install should
be on the outlet side of the engine so that hot oil flows through the filter
and then filtered oil on to the cooler. I had to make two fittngs and hoses.
The photo's are self explaining. Works great.

I sell a Marion-compatible base as well as 10 micron paper elements. My base sells for 1/10 the price of the Air Wolf but does not come with a cute animal decal. Still working that angle so I can raise my prices :>) See it on my website: http://home.joimail.com/~cpayne1/

I'm thinking that a buzzard or a Dodo would be nice and in keeping
with the use of the product.
