    I pull thru just to be safe. My 50 has almost no issues with oil out the exhaust or lock. Wont even drool after a long time sitting on pull through. The (2)52s I had were both pigs with oil. I thought the 50 may be better for this. I do have the Les Crowder valve covers.maybe they work better than I thought.. -------- You built and fly an RV.......BIG DEAL!!!!

    Subject: hydro lock
    Hi Andy, I have an intake drain set up on my Yak 55M, and it prevents MOST hydro-lock conditions, however, it is still possible to have enough oil in a cylinder which, when cold won't come out through the relatively small diameter intake drain and you end up needing to pull the plugs. In my case that has happened twice in the past 4 years, but it does occasionally happen. Usually when I haven't flown the plane for more than 2 weeks. Another good reason to go fly.<VBG> Scott _____ From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Andy Hawes Sent: Friday, 14 September, 2007 09:22 Subject: Re: Yak-List: hydro lock Hey guys, Future M14P pilot here -- wouldn't using a quick drain valve collecting from cylinders 4, 5 and 6 be an alternative to pulling the plugs?

If the intake valve is closed and oil goes past the rings into the cylinder itself it would never make it to the quick drain. (As the engine cools, air trapped in the cylinder decreases in volume and forms a vacuum which can suck-in any oil sitting on top of the piston.) So, the quick drains do not necessarily end up with all the oil at the low point. Some people like to turn the engine backwards when encountering resistance/lock which then pushes oil from the cylinder to the intake tube. There are two problems with this that may cause the engine to hydraulic lock again upon starting: 1. The intake valve is not necessarily the lowest point in the cylinder. Significant quantity of oil can still sit in the head. Best case this raises compression. Worst case is that there might be enough to cause a lock. 2. Oil that is pushed into the intake tube might not go out the quick drain and instead remain in the intake tube. This oil can be sucked back into the cylinder and cause a lock after the engine fires. If there is enough this is just about guaranteed to bend/break a piston or con-rod. The ONLY 100% safe way to undo a hydraulic lock is to open in the intake drains, pull the bottom plugs, and pull the engine through until you can get no more oil from the plug holes or the intake drain plug holes. Given how much a broken engine can cost, it just isn't worth the time saved by doing a half-assed job of clearing the bottom cylinders. Also remember, a partial lock can bend a rod but leave no other symptoms. Your engine then becomes a time-bomb. -- Brian Lloyd 3191 Western Drive brian HYPHEN 1927 AT lloyd DOT com Cameron Park, CA 95682 +1.916.367.2131 (voice) +1.270.912.0788 (fax) I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . .

    On my M14 powered CJ6 I had a situation a few years ago with the #4 cyl.filling with oil, turned out to be the rings migrating on the piston to the point that the ring gaps were becoming aligned. Reset the rings, no more problem. Joe

    Read Brian Lloyd's reply to this one for the best of advice, but let me just add a few things: 1. I own a YAK-50 with intake drains, and due to a slightly leaky ball check valve in my oil pump I get oil into the cylinders very quickly. In a month of no flying I can actually lose up to 3 GALLONS of oil. If I fly every two weeks or so, that never happens. 2. Each person has his or her own method for getting oil out of the cylinders, Brian's method being the most safe obviously. 3. Probably the best method I saw of everyone listed was on Sergei Boriak's SU-31 (before it crashed). Sergei was sick and tired of oil in the cylinders and having to pull it through EVERY time. A. He spent a huge amount of $$$ and had new pistons put in with gapless rings. Much more was done here than I will list, but the rings made a big difference. B. The best trick was that he installed an OIL VALVE in the oil supply line to the engine. Yes, there is an obvious danger in doing that. He put in the typical safety steps with starter inhibitors, etc. etc. And I am sure, a lot of people will say it is still too dangerous. So if you feel that way, good for you. Keep yanking the plugs. On the flip side, shutting off the oil supply pretty much puts an END to this problem. C. The last step was to install an engine sump line going to an electrical pump. After landing and shutting the engine down, you run the pump and the oil from the sump is pumped back into the main oil tank. You combine all three and you have a very dry engine, no oil on the ground, and no need to pull it through, and no chance of hydrostatic locks. I'm going to go with the main tank oil shut off valve, with push pull control from the cockpit.

    I had them as well, and they work GREAT. I was just too worried about one of the many oil hoses coming off in flight and me never being able to know it was happening. In my way of thinking, the more oil hoses and clamps you can remove, the better off you are. I also had his original electrical sump pump. It worked great as well.

    Uh Doc... I think highly of you my friend, but with all due respect, I think the gas from the beans you ate last night might be influencing your line of thinking here. Bernoulli's Principle does not apply in this case. There is no "Venturi" no matter how hard you try to make it look that way, and even if there was, the rules that impact the question do not come from Mr. Bernoulli. Instead you might want to remember Mr. Boyle. To wit: Quote: The mathematical equation for Boyle's law is: where: p denotes the pressure of the system. V is the volume of the gas. k is a constant value representative of the pressure and volume of the system. So long as temperature remains constant at the same value the same amount of energy given to the system persists throughout its operation and therefore, theoretically, the value of k will remain constant. However, due to the derivation of pressure as perpendicular applied force and the probabilistic likelihood of collisions with other particles through collision theory, the application of force to a surface may not be infinitely constant for such values of k, but will have a limit when differentiating such values over a given time. Forcing the volume V of the fixed quantity of gas to increase, keeping the gas at the initially measured temperature, the pressure p must decrease proportionally. Conversely, reducing the volume of the gas increases the pressure. Boyle's law is commonly used to predict the result of introducing a change, in volume and pressure only, to the initial state of a fixed quantity of gas. The "before" and "after" volumes and pressures of the fixed amount of gas, where the "before" and "after" temperatures are the same (heating or cooling will be required to meet this condition), are related by the equation: p1V1 = p2V2 Boyle's law, Charles's Law, and Gay-Lussac's Law form the combined gas law. The three gas laws in combination with Avogadro's law can be generalized by the ideal gas law. END QUOTE So yes Tim... ANY line that you put between the tank and the original line that is smaller than the original could CLEARLY cause this to happen. In addition you have added LENGTH (I think?) If you have, then your line from your new tank to where you hook it to the old line (did you run it the whole way?) to be safe should have been even LARGER than what was original. Sorry to disagree with you Doc, but ... You must have been breathing some of the NOS.....

Yak-50 Answer...quit possible. This being based on Bernolli's principle. A small line introduces a venture effect. There will be a drop in pressure at the point that the smaller line is connected to the larger line. There is an increase in pressure at the point of constriction with resistance to flow. At the point of dilation past the point of constriction there is a drop in pressure with a decrease in flow. The pressure will be lower in the system past the point of restriction. The density of air is also a factor too, but for this agreement you can assume that number is constant.

    I disagreed in an earlier message... But what both of us really should have asked was: Just how much smaller of a line are we talking about here?

It would take a restriction that takes the line down to something like a pinhole to really cause a problem.

    Subject: Re: MF'ing air system! Yak-50
    Mark, You are absolutely correct in your reference to Boyle's law, Charles Law, and Avagadro's law as they reference fluids at rest. In this case you are looking at a fluid in motion. The term "fluid" applies to both a liquid and a gas. A tube (line) having a constriction section between a larger diameter inlet and the outlet section is called a "venture tube". In this case, a smaller diameter tube in between two larger diameter tubes (lines). Whereas point a is the entry point and point b is the exit point of the fluid as it flows from the larger diameter tube to the end of the smaller diameter tube you have introduced a constriction. So basically, you have flow thru a constriction. In other words when you have a fluid flowing through a pipe of varying cross-sectional area there can be no accumulation between a and b, provided that fluid is incompressible. Hence the mass of the fluid passing through the cross section A1 with speed v1 must equal the mass passing in the same time (t) through cross section A2 with speed v2, where rho (p) is the density of the fluid (since my computer does not do the Greek alphabet, rho is p in this case). A1v1pt = A2v2pt So since A1v1 = A2v2, it follows that the speed of flow in a pipe is greater in those regions where there is a constriction in the cross-section area (A). [The smaller diameter tube (line)]. Furthermore, the speed is greater at point b than at a, the fluid experiences an acceleration between a and b. This requires an accelerating force. This accelerating force can be present only if the pressure at point a is greater than the pressure a point b. So in a steady flow of a fluid, the pressure is least where the speed is greatest. So when a gas or a liquid enters the narrow part of the tube (the constriction), it speeds up in the narrow part of the tube (line) and there is a corresponding drop in pressure. Bernoulli's theorem looks at the relationship between the pressure at any point in a fluid and velocity of the fluid at that point. The movement of the particles of fluid in a linear line through the tube is defined as a streamline. Bernoulli's theorem states that at any two points along a streamline the sum of the pressure, the kinetic energy per unit volume, and the potential energy per unit volume has the same value. Now the mathematical expression of that is as follows: P1 +1/2pv1 squared + pgh1 = P2 = 1/2 pv2 squared +pgh2. P = pressure P = rho (density) V = volumne g = gravity h = head [in a pressure- depth relation the depth (h) is frequently called the "head"]. In a Pressure head, the h is equal to P/pg {p = rho (density of the fluid) and g = gravity} So applying Bernoulli's theorem to the case of a horizontal pipe that has a constriction you can determine the rate of flow of the fluid passing through if you know the pressure of the fluid and the area of the pipe at the widest part or at the narrowest part by simply rearranging the equation for the unknown. So if you want to know P2 (the exit pressure for the narrow segment) rearrange the equation to read as: P2 = P1 + pg(h1-h2) +p/2(v1 squared - v2 squared). Now having said all that, Bernoulli's theorem has many applications. The carb is an atomizer, the filter pump is an aspirator, and our wing, the air foil. Last but not least is the 2 year old child lying on the stretcher in ER unable to breath due to bacterial epiglotitis obstructing the larynx caused by Strep. In this case, the orifice (larynx) is narrowed by a edematous epiglottis impeding flow of air. By manipulating the viscosity of the gas by adding helium to the O2, we can support that child (maintain the %Sat = 02 saturation) long enough to get them to the OR to intubate them. I did not discuss viscosity as it affects the flow of a fluid through a constriction did I? For a further explaination, I refer you to College Physics by , Weber, White, Manning and Waygand, Chapter 13, "Fluids in Motion", pp.241-255. Well you do not have to go to my specific textbook, anyone that discusses fluid mechanics can clarify this.

    Subject: Lone Star Red Star, May 2008
    I have started pre-planning for a large fly-in and formation clinic at Lancaster, TX (KLNC) in May of 2008. The Cold War Air Museum at Lancaster has agreed to host the event and the airport manager, a former Navy Air Boss, has said that he'll be giving "whatever it takes" support to us. Jon
