However, this solution would add weight and look ugly. On a CJ-6, anything that looked Ugly would stand out like a turd in a punch bowl. On a Yak, well....maybe you wouldn't notice as much :>) What I'm talking about would look a little like the Canadian Harvard with exhaust tube running back along the fuselage. In case of the Yak/CJ, the tubes would not go through the cowl but exit out the bottom through a cowl bump that allows removal of the cowl without messing with the exhaust tubes. The tubes would run along the fuselage to a point under the wing root. Yes, weight would be added and it would be noticable (on a CJ anyway) With such a system, gases would be expelled past the point of airflow over the wing, and away from the wheel well area on CJ's. However, there would still be problems in certain acro conditions of tumbles, inverted spins, tail slides and the other things I don't do anyway.

While not explicitly stating which harnesses were subsequently tested ... it would appear logical that the larger the fittings the greater the potential to jam in the controls of either cockpit. My own arbitrary ground check of a stock Russian harness suggested it was more likely to jam in the rear cockpit rather than the front. However best to check your aircraft & form your own opinions ... regardless it will drive home the real risk of a loose harness as FOD, or indeed any other object falling into the control well under the seats. The report makes salutary reading, which is why I've deliberately not gone into detail to encourage everyone to read it ... suffice to say a screwdriver was found (yet again), but not positively show to be a factor ... it will be interesting to see if the CAA mandates further (cockpit) FOD barriers as a result. Fly safe. Rob R.

I have an airborne picture of me in my airplane hanging on the wall in the man cave and was looking over the lines of the -50 and thinking the EXACT same thing. There is someone out there smarter than me who can figure iy out.

So one segment fits into the other segment so there is minimal leakage around the connections. The last T-6 or Harvard I looked at, the exhaust was a single ring that exited on the side of the cowling so exhaust flows over the wing not under it. I would be curious as to what values Tj is seeing with his Tarantula exhaust on his 50. It sends the exhaust gases over the wing. It certainly decreases the collective flow effect under the tail venting gas up into the empennage at the strut opening on the 50. Remember, the Bernoulli effect of the prop wash accelerating over the top of the canopy causing a high pressure on top of the canopy and a low pressure area in the cockpit. The base effect is increase suction of gases into the cockpit. You can see this in the smokers at high alpha. Their cockpits are full of smoke. Why there is a relative low inside the cockpit and the gas is in trained into that low.

We will stage out of my hanger (which is large enough to host this event). We are negotiating with the FBO for a fuel discount. The dates remain the same. Please go to the RPA website to see the additional details. Please call the Jamison Inn to cx your rooms in Selma. Accommodations for the number currently signed up will be split between mine and Scottie's lake houses. A block of rooms will also be reserved at the Days Inn in Prattville, Al. The number is334-285-5312 for those so inclined. The Itenary remains the same. Just a change in senary with a chance for lake low levels and air field attaches on an island airport! Time to get TACTICAL! Let me know if there are any drop outs or new additions!
