I have a good 285 for sale, 500 SMOH, intake drains, Auto Ignition, spare
exhaust plumbed for smoke system, been on oil filter since in States, Oil
analysis done every 50 hrs shows a good engine, runs strong! The only
reason
for
putting the engine up for sale is that I swapped over to a M14P "Rat"
engine
from Bill
Blackwell. The 285 has been maintained by Blackwell since in the States as
well.
$6,500 plus shipping.

Inquiring Minds:
A downloadable copy of the M-14P Maintenance Manual is bundled with a article I
wrote on carb adjustments in the RPA Store...all for a nominal fee.

| Subject: | Yak 52 Flop Tube |
Guys,
One time I had my engine quit when I was flying inverted after about 15
seconds or so. On another 3 or 4 ocassions I had been making a long high
speed descent say about 360kph dropping 4000 ft per minute in a big turn to
the left and the engine starting running rough. When it started shaking I
leveled off and pulled the power back some and then it started running
smooth again.
I suspected that perhaps the flop tube had a crack in it or was broken. So I
just tonight took out the flop tube. I find no sign of a crack, but it is
quite stiff. When I hold the tube in the position it would be for upright
flight the flop tub hangs nicely, almost down at a 90 degree angle to the
fitting. BUT, when I roll the fitting over to put the flop tube in the
inverted orientation the flop tub basically sticks out straight from the
fitting and does not flop down below the horizontal plane. I'm assuming this
is not normal and that the tube is stiff from being old. If I bend the tube
to the inverted flopped orientation, then the tube looks quite stressed and
as if it would not take much more bending to cause it to crack.
Anyone have thoughts or advice on this. Anyone know where I can get a new
one?
Thanks,
Squatch

Peter,
That is definitely not normal. If you have had no luck finding a
replacement from Carl/Jill or Cliff Coy at Gesoco, you may try Rob Kent
in the UK at rkent@wlacrussianeng.co.uk.

This post was mixed in with my non-Yak e-mail. The top part was cut off on
the monitor and I assumed Squatch, a.k.a. "Petervs", was sorrowfully
describing a personal male performance problem. Knowing the several M.D.'s
on the
list would likely respond with remedies for a "cracked...broken...stiff" fl
op
tube that "hangs nicely, that sticks out straight and does not flop below t
he
horizontal - one that is stiff from being old". Then when he wanted "a new
one", I looked back and I guess he may be talking about some Yak part! My
bad!
