Dennis,
Jill at M14P sent me a bottle seal, which is a typical looking O-ring that appeared
to fit nicely. She also sent me a primer seal, which is a flat O-ring (a
square-ring?) that is thicker than the one I had in my tank that leaked.
I just sent the tanks off for testing. When I get them back I'll let you know
how the new O-ring works. And if it doesn't work I'll be trying the new primer
seal.

Steve,
I've tried the primer seal. Had success once. But on the second tank, it
did not. Let me know if it worked for you.

| Subject: | New RPA Florida Pre-SunnFun Flyin |
Folks,
Florida has great weather and SunnFun is not a basic
clinic, so with support from Sam Sax and the Tamiami
crew, the RPA is going to field a central Florida
fly-in/FAST clinic.
LOCATION: Sebring Regional (KSEF). Under negotiations
now on fuel and hotel discounts and other services.
These folks want the RPA's regular (annual) presence
and are working with us well.
DATE: March 7-9
FOCUS: Fun flying - and great training for wing
candidates and Flight Lead upgrades...While wing
candidates will always be our focus, the association
now has a very high percentage of rated wingmen. In
speaking with the new pointy head (Darrell) at
Waycross, a fresh focus is now on Flight Lead
candidates through the new lead seminar and sortie
training as well. The event will "flex" based on
attendance and student load, from basic training to
mass formation practice. In a nut shell:
Friday afternoon arrival.
--Ground school seminar. The hope for future RPA
clinics is, based on wingmen candidates home studying
the new RPA formation manual, the massive ground
school power point will be somewhat reduced in
duration, saving more time for flying.
-- Fly as able too naut twlight
--Evening dinner and CRUD training if possible/desired
(suitable location is being determined)
Saturday, all day:
--Fly, fly, fly
--Dusk: Lead Pilot Seminar. This is NOT a boring slide
show, but a very interactive event for all wingmen and
leads. Its a new required item as per the FF&P. Pizza
or other good stuff with "liquid refreshments" will be
on hand.
--Evening: Dinner, long tales at the bar, possible
CRUD tournament.
Sunday
--Fly, Fly, Fly...until 1430 or as needed for RTB.
Check pilots are on hand. Based on numbers, Mass
Formation practice is an option, to include looking at
the Oshkosh "Five-Zero" plan
Based on students, this event needs backseat
instructors. It should be a great time as Sebring is
motivated to support the RPA. Thanks to Sam Sax and
Tamiami folks for kick starting this concept,
I realize this is only 5 weeks away, but if you are
within a few hours of Sebring, try to make it out and
support the standing up of a much needed Florida
central fly-in.

| Subject: | CJ, Yak 52 & Yak 50 Questions |
I'm putting together a tri-fold pocket brochure about the RPA as a hand-out
at OSH this year. In it I plan photos and brief specs for the aircraft
typicall flown by our members. To that end, I'm in search of some information that
I can't seem to find by searching the internet.
1. Does anyone have a reasonably accurate number of CJs and Yak 52s in the
US and Canada? I did find a census of Yak 50s. There appear to be 29 in the US
and none in Canada. Right/wrong?
2. What's the typical cruise speed and Vne for a Yak 50?
3. How many 52TWs & TDs are in the US and Canada?
4. Do the 52TWs uniformly have 400hp M14s?
Thanks, Blitz

Blitz,
I can say with a high degree of confidence that all TW's have the 400 hp M-14.
I am also positive that Cliff Coy knows EXACTLY how many TW's were built, since
he has probably assembled them all when they got to the USA (except mine, which
was pulled from the shipping container by my friend George Coy, who put my
plane together with his right arm in a cast!).
Cheers,
Steve Dalton

I could do an Excel Spreadsheet on CJs and Yaks if that would aid in the
calculation. I have not updated it in the last two years.

| Subject: | Almost perfect exciting day. |
This was an almost perfect exciting day.
First took off from our airpark under near perfect skies with John Ford in
tow. We formated over to Flager. In route I tried my new auto pilot for the
first time. John took up a respectful distance as I engaged the servo for
the time.
After putting in a brief appearance with Bill Mills and John I bugged down
to New Symerna Beach airport to test fly the B-24 fresh out of overhaul. Rob
Collings and I had to abort the first takeoff at about 30kts, because #2
engine started popping at 40" and we started seeing fluid pouring from the
engine. The fluid turned out to be water and the popping was cause by the wiring
harness being wet too. The next attempt went much better, with just few minor
write ups, that still need fixing. Pretence of another great season.
I than bugged back up to Flager for fuel and hoping to catch the guys still
doing some formation there. Except for Mills and Boz all were gone. I shot
the breeze for a little while and than Boz hooked on to my wing and we made
an element takeoff. After giving Boz a little training maneuvering, we broke
formation and I head home into a setting sun.
On arriving overhead at Eagle's Nest I found dead smooth air, under clear
skies, and unlimited visibility. Just could not help myself. Cuban 8, a loop,
and some hammer heads turns, my day was done with the sun.
Stepping out of my cockpit, my neighbor Doug Vada (neat guy, is the test
pilot for Extra here in the US) walked up and handed me a beer! Man! just how
perfect can my day get?!!!!!!
I must be doing sometime good, cause God is sure good to me! Pappy
