The kit you got from Doug should have all the parts. I just helped a friend install
new dessicant in his CJ and Doug's kit had end plates, all screens, felt,
and dessicant.

| Subject: | CJ Air Leak from Rear Gear Handle |
I have a leak from the rear gear handle. I have isolated it to the small hole
in the side of the body of the mechanism behind the panel. With main air on and
engine not running it will bleed down the main air tank in about 10-15 minutes.
How do I isolate the problem to either the gear handle or something else in the
gear system that is leaking through this vent hole?

Craig,
I had the same thing and ended up replacing the gear handle/valve as it was leaking
internally. Solved 90 percent of my air issues. Very simple remove and replace
(be sure and label all the fittings, I drew a picture as well) and can
be done without jacking. M-14P(Jill) can overhaul the valve for about 150$ as
an alternative, otherwise, I would call Doug.
Contact me offline or call if you want more of my CJ air system saga. 904-994-6005.

In the yak it means you have a either a bad gear actuator cylinder seal leak that
is letting air go by the down pressure side to the up side internally past
the chevron seals back to the handle where the air is coming from the relief air
hole, or the gear up-lock seals or line leak. With your gear handle latch
locked move the gear handle to the center position and see it the leak stops,
if it does then gear handle is OK and the leak is elsewhere most likely the chevrons.
You will then need to take a up pressure line off the cylinders one at
a time and listen for air.

Make sure one of the flares on the lines leading into the valve is not
cracked. I just spent a lot of time trying to find just that problem. Because
of
the way the gear valve is set up, most likely it is either the inlet line
that comes in at a right angle to the back of the valve (out board) or the
middle line that runs forward to the front gear valve.
If anyone is interested I've figured out a way to eliminate the rear gear
valve. Takes just a couple of hours.

Hi Forrest,
Good to hear the old Super Pickle is in good hands. That plane is
what got me into this business, for better or for worse...lol. Some
of my fondest flying memories are at her controls. Though my recent
flight with 4 F/A-18s in the L-39 is right up there! ;) What a kick
that was....
I suspect we are two months away from being able to produce the tanks
in kit form. They are new construction tanks using the original
filler and vent, but will have a new quick drain on the bottom. The
modifications are simple and easy to perform on the aircraft. The
outboard rib is cut out and then reinforced around the perimeter.
This allows the tank to extend one station. The brackets for the
straps on the hat section supports are moved to the aft corner of the
bay to allow the entire tank to be extended aft and everything is
properly reinforced to accommodate the extra weight. The tank is
built so that it can slide right in to the cavity.
Final specifications should be ready in a month or so. At that time
we will be accepting deposits as we've already had more than a couple
inquiries. For now it will be done on an exchange basis (we need
your filler neck, senders, gauge, vent fitting, etc.). Total down
time should be no more than two weeks, including shipping. If we do
it at our shop, the time will be less than a week.
To summarize, our current list of CJ mods are as follows:
1) Malcom Hood front and one piece rear canopies
2) Metal placard set in english that exactly replicates original
Chinese placards in size and look
3) Rudder Pedal mod that increases leg extension by 4".
4) Custom laser cut instrument panels and EFIS installations
5) Large baggage compartment kit with floor compartments and
standard APU receptacle.
6) Complete aircraft re-wiring (weight saving and increased
reliability)
7) New fuel tanks coming soon....
And more to come....
All of these items will soon be on our new web site when we launch in
the coming weeks.
Cheers,
Barry

Since this is a vent hole it's quite possible the leak is in one of the gear
actuators. maybe a damaged actuator seal.

Craig,
I also removed all three gear actuators and had Doug overhaul each. They were not
bad, but can be the culprit, usually the nose gear. Easy to R and R; and no
jacking required. Unless you know for sure that all emerg valves, check valves
on fire wall, actuators, gear handles etc. have had any TLC and or been inspected;
I would bet there is corrosion all through the system that will cause
springs to stick and felt seals to break down (especially in steamy south FL)
and valve halves to pit. Two ways to deal with it..."Fly to failure" and piecemeal
individual component replacement/overhaul or attack it all at once and pull
everything and git er done for about $2200 in parts/overhaul. The labor is
simple that any non-mechanic can do (I am proof) and with a helper, can do in
a week. Look at it as a great way to learn the system. Dealing with the CJ air
system is like blowing a tire..."There are those that have and those that will".

Hi,
For thread sealer I use Permatex high temp thread sealer part no. 59214. It
works great and does not set up or lock the threads. Found at auto parts
stores.
I found stainless steel screen at ace hardware in the plumbing section.

Old Salts,
aka those who attended OSH-2001 when the Yak Pilot's Club bought over Cheng Bushi.
I need some digital photos of him, especially any portrait type shots as I'm
creating the recognition award we will be presenting at our Oshkosh banquet
(whether or not he can attend). The award will also have publicity value, which
we need to leverage to gain support for this endeavor.

SNF is just around the corner. Is the RPA planning anything for there? Any non-RPAers
going? Any ideas for hotels, etc.
Hopefully it won't be as cold, foggy and wet as Waycross (still had fun though)!!

Parachute packing in back of tent near WB registration - See Deborah.
Bring sun screen, tiedowns, canopy cover and sturdy gust locks.
Hotel 1 is new Holiday Inn, Winter Haven. $122.08 use WB mail-in form.
New Holiday Inn is the old Days Inn on 200 Cypress Gardens Blvd.
Hotel 2 Hampton Inn, Winter Haven. $110.88 through WB mail-in form.
Hotel 3 is old Holiday Inn at 1150 Third St, NW, Winter Haven. $86.24
WB shuttle van runs between WB hut and hotels sporadically
Use Polk Co. Pkwy (570) toll to/from airport for quickest way to hotels.
The Hojo is next to Hotel 3 $80 + tx (863) 294-7321 or favorite website
Friday night airshow is best viewed from my hanger; bring beverage.
