Mark Fitzgerald, recent RPA member is looking for some immediate assistance.
He needs at least four airplanes to conduct a Missing man formation in the
Marietta, GA area. The airfield is Stockmar airport (20GA) near Dobbins,
AFB. A distinguished business man from the Atlanta metro area, Earl Small,
passed away and Marc is trying to arrange the formation for the family.
They expect well over a thousand people at the funeral.
Mark needs this to happen tomorrow, Sunday 26 Oct. They will cover

Folks,
Once again I am looking for your expertise.
My air system charges up nicely to 5.5 on the gauge while flying.
Then when I shut down I can hear it leaking out the two small vent
holes in the pop-off valve body. Soapy water confirms this leak as it
sits. Within two days the system will completely leak out.
I have thoroughly cleaned the inside of the pop-off valve to a nice
shine and tried two new pistons. It still leaks.
Could this be caused by a weakened spring? Your thoughts are greatly
appreciated.

Steve:
I have had some of the same problems with various YAKS. I have found that
after time the rubber seal molded into the brass plunger recedes to the
point that the metal surface of the plunger makes contacts with the seat,
this prevents proper seating. I have not had much luck with just replacing
the rubber, doesn't last very long. I have however on several occasions used
this method. I recently ordered the spring and plunger new from Jill. this
worked perfectly, however it cost something over $100.00. I use a scuba
bottle at the fill port to adjust the valve. Just hook up the bottle, get
the pressure you want, and tighten the valve until it stops discharging.
This method avoids a lot of readjusting while looking for the proper
setting. Ideal is this, it pops of at Approx. 5.5 while in flight, and
bleeds back to 5.0 after shutdown.

Robert,
I believe Steve said he tried two new pistons. The new pistons that I
have purchased come with the rubber seals molded in. Assuming the new
pistons Steve purchased did come with the seals molded in, the only
thing left to replace is the spring.

I do agree with that Dennis, I did solve my problem with the new plunger
and spring. Actually one should never replace the plunger without a new
spring. that thing really takes a beating eveytime you fly.

Dennis;
The new piston usually does the job, with or without a new spring. The available
adjustment allows for a large variation in spring tension.
In this case a very detailed inspection of the valve seat is in order. Pitting
corrosion may have compromised the seat.

Guys,
My computer has a glitch in it today and my unfinished email seems to
have gone away,so I'll try this once again.
On a CJ:
Air comes from the compressor into the snot valve, out of the snot
valve and into the pop off valve assembly which is made up of the
pressure reducing valve and two check valves, (one inward facing check
valve on each side of it). The pop off valve also has a center
leg/fitting which goes on to the air filter and then on into the
system and tank. Isn't the 52 the same? In order for Steve to be
draining his system would he not have to have a leaking check valve as
well as pop off valve problem? How else could the air get back
through the system to the pop off valve??
I do have new CJ6 pop off valves in stock @ $85.00 each. While the
exterior is different than that used in the 52 TJ tells me that the
interrior parts are the same as used in the 52 style pop off valve.
Always Yakin,
Doug

Actually it IS a military thing! It is a tradition dating back to WWI. It is however
NOT unique to the US and was in fact first supposedly used at the funeral
held by the RAF for Richthofen (Red Baron). There is a growing trend to adopt
military traditions and courtesies which in my opinion, diminish their historical
and personal value. There are other ways to show respect while maintaining
respect for others traditions.
I mean absolutely no disrespect to Mr. Small's family or friends.

Actually it IS a military thing! It is a tradition dating back to WWI. It is
however NOT unique to the US and was in fact first supposedly used at the
funeral held by the RAF for Richthofen (Red Baron). There is a growing trend
to adopt military traditions and courtesies which in my opinion, diminish
their historical and personal value. There are other ways to show respect
while maintaining respect for others traditions.
I mean absolutely no disrespect to Mr. Small's family or friends.

The following link is to a brief history of the Missing Man Formation, Fly
Past, or Honor Flight. http://www.answers.com/topic/missing-man-formation
The formation is traditionally flown for POW's, MiA's, a fallen aviator, and
dignitaries. It is a "military" thing but has been flown by the civilian
community to show respect for a fallen aviator or person of respect in the
community. I do not have a dog in this fight and mean no disrespect the
family or friends of the family. I hope the desires were met successfully by
the guys in the ATL area.

I have two military issued flight suits (tan) that I am getting rid of.
They go to the first person that can answer the following question.
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Show your math.

New to YAKS as well. Have been training in YAK 52 in preparation for cross country
flight. Purchased 52 and plan to pick it up in Vermont (coming out of annual)
and fly it back to Calif. Plan on 1.5 hr legs. Have an air adapter with schrader
valve. Plan on stopping at medium size airports. Any recommendations on
other "must have" items would be very appreciated, thanks, Bill.

Using the formula: (W + I) * C where W = the constant of wood, which is
well known to be 61, as agreed in many scientific circles. I = the
variable in this equation, and stands for the word "if" from the
original problem. As there are three circumstances, with 0 equaling the
chance that the woodchuck cannot chuck wood, 1 being the theory that
the woodchuck can chuck wood but chooses not to, and 2 standing for the
probability that the woodchuck can and will chuck wood, we clearly must
choose 2 for use in this equation. C = the constant of Chuck Norris,
whose presence in any problem involving the word chuck must there, is
well known to equal 1.1 of any known being, therefore the final part of
this calculation is 1.1. As is clear, this appears to give the answer
of (61 + 2) * 1.1 = (63) * 1.1 = 69.3. However, Chuck Norris' awesome
roundhouse kick declares that all decimal points cannot be used in
formulas such as this, and so it must be rounded to the final solution
of 69 units of wood.
We've got a couple of new flight students that wear 42L, send them on after we
have taken all comers!!
