"I would recommend either ADC or Airwolf. My personal preference is the ADC micro-screen
unit rather than the spin-on. ADC provides both types, Airwolf is spin-on
only.
I would avoid cheap non STC'd systems which invariably utilize spin-on filters
that are not capable of safely handling high scavange oil pressures.
Like most other things in aviation you get what you pay for.

I installed the ADC micro-screen filter in my CJ. In the past, ADC has also been
a sponsor of ARS. It is a well made product.
Contact Barry Hancock about installation as he did the install in my plane. We
put it on the firewall after relocating the air start solenoid (may not have
to do this on later model CJs). I've also seen pictures of it placed in the belly
of the aircraft.

What are the different ways CJ people have dealt with ASI? Someone mentioned
to me refacing gauges once? Does anybody have the contact info for that? Or
feel free to make relevant suggestions.

Chris,
I replaced the Airspeed indicator in my CJ. I just called an
instrument shop in Wichita and they screened the face the way I wanted
and calibrated it, then sent it out to me. DO NOT send the original
Chinese or Russian instrument to them. There are a lot of reasons not
to do this and you can find from previous Yak-List discussions why not
to do this.
The shop I use is Air Capital Instruments in Wichita. A one man shop
"Sam" and he does a great job, has about everything you could ever
need and is very reasonably priced. His number is 316-942-8668.
I suggest you have him screen the ASI with both Knots and Kilometers
per hour. It will really come in handy when flying with other Yaks
and CJ.s
Regards,
tc

| Subject: | Nanchang Generator problem |
Hi all.
As generator theory is not my strong point I shall put forward the following
problem in the hope someon can point me in the right direction (having read
and digested the traffic early this week!)
We are preparing to put a factory 'overhauled' Nanchang back in the air
after it has sat on the airfield here for 2 1/2 years. All works perfectly
except the generator...
When the engine was first run it appeared to be fine. 2nd run and the
generator light appeared to acting correctly at low RPM (on and off at @1000
RPM, but the ammeter was jumping all over the place. At higher RPMs the
ammeter was jumping all over the place and the light was going on and off as
it jumped around from load to unload.
After this run we sorted out a few other minor problems and checked the
generator brushes and springs. All appears to be good with new brushes
fitted, although one seemed a bit stiff in the housing.
After freeing it up we took it out and ran it again with the result that the
generator light now stays on and steady at all RPMs.
Someone suggested that the generator might need flashing after having sat
around for a long period of time, but I don't believe that this would be the
case given that it was kind of operating to start with.
Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated
Regards, Jay
