| Subject: | Good 285 For Sale |
I'm converting my CJ over to M14P power plant therefore have no need for my
strong running 285 with 500 hours since Major. It also has intake drains, auto
ignition, been run on oil filers as well as engine oil analysis done every
50 hours, Bill Blackwell has taken care of all servicing of the engine. The
prices on these power plants have really gone up in the last couple of years,
this engine would be perfect as a replacement for a run out or as a parts
engine for someone else.

Happy New Year to all! Does anyone have any
experience with the Zaon PCAS (Portable Collision
Avoidance System)? I'm thinking of getting either the
XRX or MRX model.
Thanks,

| Subject: | 15 gallon aux fuel tank |
In the spirit of the holidays, I have decided I'd
rather see this tank go to use on a plane where it
will be appreciated than hold out for a high price.
This Yak community has treated me well and I want to
give a little back. The attached picture is for my
15 gallon aux fuel belly tank, complete with mounting
brackets, pump and tank. The whole system (a $2,000
value) is for sale for $300 plus shipping (ground UPS)
and I estimate shipping at approximately $100.
Installation would probably take an A&P about a day
and I can put you in contact with the A&P who
designed, built and installed this tank.
A few specs:
- No aerobatics with the tank on.
- It is removable - takes about 30 minutes.
- Pump is operated from a switch in the cockpit.
- Tank includes separate fuel sump drain.
- Off white in color.
- That's a little dirt NOT rust in the tank and it
wiped right off.
More pictures if you email me off list.
Happy New Year!
Thanks,
John P. Graham

Oshkosh 2008 AirVenture
RedStar Pilots Association Event
Fiftieth Anniversary of the CJ-6A
Troops!
Below is the present schedule for Oshkosh AirVenture 2008. As you already
know this year RedStar Pilots Association is celebrating the Fiftieth
Anniversary of the CJ-6A. Not only is that number of years significant to
the CJ-6 it
is the only airplane unchanged from the prototype to pass that mark and tha
t
is still in production. It and the Yak are the only warbirds that have tha
t
distention.
But on to the important stuff - having fun at this RPA party. The main
event is on Wednesday July 30. On this day we will attempt to put 50 CJ-6
aircraft over OSH during the WarBird part of the show. You Yak guys? You
will be
up there with them. This is an RPA party celebrating the CJ-6=99s bi
rthday.
So if you can=99t make the West Bend practice session, be at OSH not
later than
July 29, Tuesday afternoon. Remember there is an airshow at OSH between
1300 & 1700 that day so the field will be closed and they close the airport
at
1900L.
For very special reasons, you want to plan to stay for the banquet Friday
evening August 1st.
Paper Work.
Guys its really important to get this stuff right. The Feds and legal
beagles at EAA are having their way. EAA has a very aggressive fellow who
is very
serious about the insurance stuff also I expect that the Feds will do more
spot checking due to last years accident. The big thing the last 2 years i
s
having copies of your insurance papers. Just the page that shows your polic
y
number and coverage. So before you leave home, go to a copy machine and ma
ke
copies of all your ratings, medical, driver license, the last annual
inspection page of the aircraft log, and your insurance. And make sure the
required
certificates are in your airplane and your license is in your pocket.. And
don=99t forget the parachute. You can=99t even use a parachut
e as a seat
cushion if its out of date. =9CIf it=99s out of date, its out o
f the plane=9C.
FAST Check Ride at West Bend?
Remember - the pre Oshkosh practice is NOT a training clinic. Its is a mass
formation warm-up for the experienced guys and practice for FNGs.
Perspective wingmen/leads must be well prepared and already have a signed
recommendation form from a FAST check pilot or FAST rated Lead. Do not expe
ct the check
ride to be any easier at West Bend than any where else. Note: There will
be
no check rides after noon on Saturday, July 26. The rest of that day and
Sunday will be getting spent getting FNGs up to speed in mass formations.
Where to stay?
There are a number of places and you can get a list from EAA, BUT we
=99d like
to suggest the University of Wisconsin dorms. First they are very inexpensi
ve
(2 Beds per room @ $50.00/ night) and very convenient to many of our planed
activities. Second, transportation is a big bonus because there is direct
bus services from the dorms to EAA=99s main gate at $5.00 round trip.
However!
We are planning to have our own buses take us to & from the dorms directly
to
our aircraft saving us a :20 minute walk. Third, there are a number of
nice restaurants with-in very short walks of the dorms. Forth, we have arra
nged
with UW to have all our rooms together on the same floor and in the same
building. Many EAAers like =9Cdoing the dorms=9D. The room are
not unlike a
military billet. Two beds, 2 chairs, 2 decks, 2 dressers, a refrigerator,
a
microwave, and (maybe)internet service. You get 2 sheets, 1 blank, 1 pill
ow case,
and 1 towel & wash cloth. There is no air conditioning (sorry those rooms
sold-out 2 hours after they opened). You may be want to buy a cheap fan or
do
like most of us and sleep with the door and window open! Oh yes, the johns
and showers are down the hall.
Want to stay at the dorm? A one night=99s deposit of $50.00 is due o
n or
before March 15th. If you make a reservation and not pay the deposit by t
han,
you lose your reservations. If you need to cancel out, you=99ll get a
refund if
you do so BEFORE June 15. After that date, you lose your deposit. By the
way, if you have already signed up for the dorms rooms on the RPA web site,
you
will still need to contact UW for the reservations. All we=99ve done
is let
them know how many rooms they can expect plus RPA needs to provide them wit
h a
final roster by July 15th.
Here is the contact stuff for reservations.
Phone UW: (920)-424-3226 or (920)-424-0388 and even _uwoeaa@mio.uwosh.edu
_
(mailto:uwoeaa@mio.uwosh.edu) .
They will accept all credit cards except Discover Card.
Make sure you tell them you=99re with the RPA.
We are looking for Sponsors.
Know of any folks out there with some money to spend? Particularly busines
s
folk who are looking for exposure to a lot of people. Put them in contact
with me Jim Goolsby, Hal Morley or David McGirt. We can give them exposure
not only to our membership, though our web site, and magazine, but also via
aircraft stickers and banners on our very large tent at OSH where literally
thousand of people will see their name as our sponsors. They can get a tax
deduction because we are a 501-3C organization. If they wish to sponsor and
pay
for a specific event in our schedule (save the rest of us money), that can
be
done and we=99ll give them a minute or two to say a few words. The m
ore
sponsors we get the cheaper it will be you and I.
Discounts.
We are working to get fuel discounts at OSH. This may mean that we will onl
y
be using one of the two FBOs exclusively for our fueling. That is the plan
but that plan just may not come to fruition. EAA does pay us for fuel but
only for the time we are air borne during the show. All other =9Cextr
a flying=9D
is out of our pocket. If this works out, it will be a first so stay tuned
for that.
So get with it!
So start getting you plans together. So far, some 44 CJ-6 aircraft have
already registered. 10 Yaks are on board (we need more guys!) Some15 fol
ks
have signed up for the dorms. Your committee is working on details that wil
l
lead us to having a ball and good time at what is RPA=99s first big b
irthday
party. That Fiftieth Year only comes by once. Believe me, you will be ver
y
sorry if you let this go by. So lads get that FAST rating if you haven
=99t got it
yet and mark off that calendar. And even if you don=99t get that fo
rmation
card, come anyway!
We will be coming up with more details. Like event cost, freebies and other
activities, so stay tuned.
