    Hi Didier, look at the photo at the bottom of my previous posting showing the installation in the 18 T. The pumps are Pierburg 24 V and 0,5 bar, ~ 90.- . The whole set is homemade and sits under the rear floor in front of the service tank including an extra one-way valve.

    The serial number on you fire wall maybe either 4 digits or 7. The first 2 digits are the batch number or a group of production airplanes The last 2 digits are the airplane number in that batch. If you have 3 digits in the middle, this will be the factory where the air craft was assembled. Example 2532059 (my airplane) was the 59th aircraft in batch 25. The 320 is the factory in Nanchang. It was part of a batch of 80 aircraft built between May and November of 19 69. In RPAs 2007 spring issue of Red Alert there a list of all serial number with their dates of manufacture and number of aircraft in that batch. If your airplane has a 285 hp HS6A engine in it, it is a CJ-6A. A CJ-6 ha s the 260 hp engine. That's the only difference.

    Coop, Here is a picture showing the location of the serial number plate on the firewall. Mine says "83 3932010 " indicating that it was manufactured in 1983 with the serial number 3932010. I have heard that the serial number may contain other manufacturing information. Perhaps someone on the list may know how to decode it for you. A CJ-6 has the 260 HP Housai and the CJ-6A has the 285 HP version. A CJ-6 would be an older aircraft, probably from the early to mid 1960s. I know that the 285 HP Housai started being used around the mid-1960s.

    Warren, Your airplane was assembled at the Nanchang factory. It was #10 in batch 39 which had 24 aircraft, built between Oct 1983 and May 1984. All 24 ai rcraft were sent to the PLAF. At one point both the CJ-6 and CJ-6A were on the production line at the sa me time. It just depended on which engine they would put in them. You're correct about the early ones being CJ-6s. At some point in their life, some CJ-6s were made into 6As with an engine change. There were other variants too, modified for special purposes. The CJ-6B was a armed version of an A. Only 10 were built. There several others too.

    Thank you all for responding. I needed this to prove to Transport Canada that this was indeed a CJ-6A as all my Chinese correspondence and papers referred only to the generic CJ-6, and I need the airplane registered as a CJ-6A. So a cautionary tale might be to always translate your serial number as explained by Pappy. Get the manufacturing date off of the Red Alert archives and explain that the manufacturing date and the 285 hp engine insist that this is therefor a 6A. Thanks again.

    Subject: Re: The Hydraulic lock
    From: "Francois Davel" <fdavel@senninger.com>
    Well as an update I would like post the following. Due to a lot of support from friends and a very good engineer we managed to replace the bent rod, on #5 Below is what would consider a safe procedure, any comments? or additions? I have been thinking a lot about the that fateful day and how the lock occurred what could have been done to prevent it and what would I do differently? We here is what I have come to think of good procedure, to prevent this happening to myself again, and happening to one of you. Never pull the prop on the end, always pull the prop half way along the blade, this gives you less leverage and so limits the problem of bending a rod with the prop. Which I believe is possible. Always stop when ANY resistance is felt. Do not try and squeeze through the oil. It is quite possible to squeeze the oil past the rings and so get through a small lock.....but it HUGELY dangerous. With the leverage you have in your hand through the prop you could easily damage the connecting rod. NEVER TRUN THE PROP BACKWARDS!!!!!! This is arguably the most dangerous thing to do, since it could allow the oil to go up into the intake manifold, ready to be sucked into the cylinder and cause damage. So as soon as there is any resistance felt stop turning the prop, and open the two bottom cylinders,and allow time for the oil to drain, do NOT rush. Once the oil has stopped draining then you MUST screw the plugs back in!!! Then pull another full set of blades, I usually pull 16 blades. And if there any resistance, then you need to stop and remove the plugs again. Allow time for the oil to drain.....do NOT RUSH. As soon as you can pull your blades and there is no resistance then you are ready to fly. There are options, like and oil shut off valve that allows you to shut the oil off after you have stopped the engine, and this valve has a switch that will cut the ignition circuit so you cannot start the engine with out the oil valve being open. Part of the kit is a oil pump to pump the engine empty. The danger here is the mounting of the oil valve could damage the oil tank. It does not take a lot of oil to cause a lock, I have not worked it out but I would guess that 100 ml will be enough. What ever the accurate figure is, it is not a lot. -------- Round Engines RULE!

    If there is an intake drain kit installed in the intake tubes of cylinders 4,5 and 6 and you turn the prop backwards when you feel the "stop", you will be opening the intake valve and allowing the oil to run out of the locked cylinder through the drain kit. No harm will be done using this technique. But as Francois has stated, DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU DO HAVE AN INTAKE DRAIN KIT INSTALLED.

Never pull the prop on the end, always pull the prop half way along the blade, this gives you less leverage and so limits the problem of bending a rod with the prop. Which I believe is possible. Always stop when ANY resistance is felt. Do not try and =9Csqueeze=9D through the oil. It is quite possible to =9Csqueeze=9D the oil past the rings and so get through a small lock.....but it HUGELY dangerous. With the leverage you have in your hand through the prop you could easily damage the connecting rod. NEVER TRUN THE PROP BACKWARDS!!!!!! This is arguably the most dangerous thing to do, since it could allow the oil to go up into the intake manifold, ready to be sucked into the cylinder and cause damage. So as soon as there is any resistance felt stop turning the prop, and open the two bottom cylinders,and allow time for the oil to drain, do NOT rush. Once the oil has stopped draining then you MUST screw the plugs back in!!! Then pull another full set of blades, I usually pull 16 blades. And if there any resistance, then you need to stop and remove the plugs again. Allow time for the oil to drain.....do NOT RUSH. As soon as you can pull your blades and there is no resistance then you are ready to fly. There are options, like and oil shut off valve that allows you to shut the oil off after you have stopped the engine, and this valve has a switch that will cut the ignition circuit so you cannot start the engine with out the oil valve being open. Part of the kit is a oil pump to pump the engine empty. The danger here is the mounting of the oil valve could damage the oil tank. It does not take a lot of oil to cause a lock, I have not worked it out but I would guess that 100 ml will be enough. What ever the accurate figure is, it is not a lot. -------- Round Engines RULE!

Thanks. David Stroud Ottawa, Canada Christavia C-FDWS Fairchild 51 replica under construction C-FYXV David....look at the cooling fins on the cylinder......next to the base of the cylinder.......if the last 2 fins are the same size in diameter, it is a 260 hp. engine. If the last fin is smaller than the second to the last, it is a 285 hp. engine. P.S. Did you ever find a mag? I have several damaged ones if it would help. Marcus Bates, Jr. Austin, Texas US of A

    Thanks to all for the help in my 260/285 hp question. Mine is 285 ( whew....). Also, I've got a mag coming up to convert to electronic and will offer my findings when available.

    Also of note a 260 hp cyl should not be used on a 285 hp engine, but the reverse is OK. This from a Chinese mech. Parts book alludes to this via a serial/batch number spread but is not very specific.
