From: "Craig Winkelmann" Craig: Go ahead and try to rub it in....After 10 year in that God-forsaken state, I am happy to be in North Carolina. Twenty hurricanes, $80K in damage during Wilma, living life packing hurricane supplies, starting up the generator for when the wind blew, living around pushy, rude people, sweating my butt off at 10 pm in the summer when the temp was 85 and the humidity was 90%, etc, etc....I'll pass. Let's see Saturday, it was 32 in bright sunshine at 8 am. Went up to mid 50s by noon. Was flying CAP 182. Climb in the cold air was about 1200 fpm and had nearly 60 miles of vis. High temps in the 50s to 70s all week here. Haven't thought about hurricanes nor had to deal with rude folks. No billboards along the interstates, trees outnumber houses, should I go on. I have to admit, the weather in Florida between November and April was great. However, waiting 1-2 hours to get in a restaurant because all the snowbirds, made that season not as much fun either. I'll take NC any day of the year. Merry Christmas!!

I installed the Blue Mountain Sport EFIS with their engine pod that allows for monitoring all 9 cylinders as well as rpm, MP, oil temps, fuel flow (so it is coupled with the GPS in the unit for fuel burn, range, etc), and amps. Otherwise, JPI's EDM 700-9c is another way to get 9 cyl engine monitoring and fuel flow data (for about $4K). Craig PS - We'll post pics of the panel once installed in the plane (it is being bench tested this week). It will be flying in January and we should have more info then. Barry Hancock with Worldwide Warbirds is doing all of the installation work.

From: nc69666@AOL.COM Doug and Mike:? I purchased a set of the Chinese Jacks back in 1995 when I bought my CJ, it was one of the best investments I've made?in regards to the airplane. When the machine is up on all 4 jacks it is solid as a rock, you can crawl all over it, and it never wiggles.. Also you can leave it there for long as need be, and never worry about it leaking down or tipping off the jacks, ( Unless You live in California, then an Earthquake might bounce it off !).?

Mike, A full set of jacks consist of 4 jacks.? A "headed" jack which goes under the engine, 2 "stub wing" jacks and a tail support jack. Normal price for a full set of 4 stock Chinese jacks is about $1K, bought seperatly about 250 to 300 each.? All have rollers on them so they move easily in the shop.? They are screw type, not hyd, so they have no leak down problems if left overnight.? All have the proper fittings, off set to clear the gear doors on the stub wing jacks, cly support fittings on the engine jack, and a skid fitting on the tail support jack.? Making your own is possible but if you use hyd jacks and feel that you will ever have to leave the aircraft on jacks for a long period of time you should make?safety locks to prevent any leaking down as sometimes happens with hyd jacks.? Jacking the aircraft without proper support can be very expensive.? I have seen one aircraft laying on the shop floor with the jacks sticking up through the wings-- so it can happen.? A tail weigh t or tie dwn ring in the floor?can be used instead of the engine and tail?jacks, but is it not as secure as having all four jacks under the aircraft especially when it comes time to get up into the cockpit to operate the gear lever.? Rather the strain placed on the tail cone while using a weight or tie down is good or bad I really have no idea. ? Hope all this helps.

I usually don't write much here, but I read yaklist every day. I've had (and rebuilt right off the boat) my blue (some call it the Easter egg) CJ since they first started coming into the country even before there was a Yaks Pilot Group, the Yak-List or people like Doug Sapp and others that try to keep us supplied with pieces and parts. Many of you know me through CJ and Yak check outs, formation training from the very first clinic held through OSK 50 and aerobatic training, etc. I have a couple of comments that might be worth while. 1. For those of you considering aircraft jacks. Don't waste time or money on anything except the original CJ jacks. They are simple, strong and made to do the CK job. Get all four. I have a question. Are there left and right wing jacks? Mine are identical, but I have a feeling that there should be a left and a right jack. 2. When jacking the aircraft it is vital that you get the airplane high enough off the ground (pavement). The nose gear, in swinging back, comes closer to the pavement and if the airplane is not high enough THE NOSE AND AIRPLANE WILL RISE AND TRY TO MOVE FORWARD OFF THE JACKS. This will spoil more than your whole day. 3. In getting into a lot of different Yaks and CJs I note different lap belt/shoulder harness configurations. Is there a feeling among any of the group that maybe we should standardize the way the belt release is set up. Is it better to pull the release with right hand or left hand? For back seaters (instructors/check pilots, etc.) this might be desirable. Merry Christmas or any other holiday you might celebrate.
