    Regardless of what you need for a CJ, including tools, your first call should be to Doug Sapp. He typically has everything you will need. He's in Omak, Washington.

    Any time a propeller can turn, it can potentially windmill, especially if the resistance is low. As the airplane moves, the air flow creates pressure differentials in the propeller blades, which are airfoils. This forces the blades to move in the direction of the leading edge, thereby converting this kinetic energy to torque acting on the propeller shaft.

    Subject: How to set my accelerometer?
    From: ssssskippy <ssssskippy@gmail.com>
    Hi I have a problem with my rear accelerometer on a yak52. It shows on the ground a solid 2G instead 1G. In the instruments back, there is 3 small screws and a big one. Can somebody tells me how to set the instrument accurately?

    Getting quite a few requests and I have both a Russian and Chinese insigna converted to a PDF that can be opened in Illustrator. The Chinese characters on Nanchangs I've seen (including mine) tend to be vague and innacurate. Even after I posted mine, I went back and did some more research and tightened them up so this is the newest most correct version. If you use these, I'd appreciate a couple of bucks (they're my original artwork) but hopefully this helps folks who are looking for the right thing. Note that a sign shop uses vector art (as opposed to bitmap), if you supply a JPEG, they have to redraw and re-interpret the JPEG and the generational and human losses can make the insignias come out vague and innacurate.

    That wikipedia mess is a great example of a poorly researched and badly drawn insignia. Not only is the letting not correct, It's drawn with dozens of misalgned straight points rather than curves and looks like it was chiseled out of wood.

    I think the question was addressed more to WHY it was wind-milling Eric. I think he meant "seized" instead of "ceased". In any event, I believe the pilot said something like "the engine just seized", etc. And honestly I am not sure if I heard that right either and am too lazy to go back and listen to it again. :-) But, I think the issue was since the engine ran out of oil, and seized, why was the prop still wind milling? It's a good question really and one I hope I never find out the answer to it PERSONALLY. Maybe someone else can explain how the engine: 1. Ran out of oil. 2. Stopped producing power. 3. Still managed to keep spinning from the wind load induced to the prop? If the reduction gearbox came apart, one would think the prop would have spun a LOT faster. Which lends one to believe that the engine stopped producing power from a lack of oil, which usually results in bearings just coming apart and the engine seizing. Yet the prop doesn't seem to show any signs of it suddenly stopping and then start spinning again etc. Maybe something like the cam drive broke? Anyway, interesting question. I have no idea. Maybe someone else can answer it.

    Subject: Re: Engine failure in a Yak-50
    I can answer on question. It ran out of oil because the oil pressure adjustment plug was not safety wired and vibrated our. My question is if you are losing oil pressure as this bolt started to work its' way back out would there not have been an initial lower than normal pressure seen as this thing begins to work out?

    If the gearbox is "sheared", what does it matter how seized things are aft of it? My understanding is that the real hazard is when the planetary gears lock up. That's when the engine twists itelf off of the airplane.

    Actually, I sort of doubt the engine was seized. However, when the oil runs out and CHT skyrockets, combustion is screwed up and numerous things are likely to happen to make the engine lose power.
