    Nope..but we can throw those two over priced airframes into the mix. 400K for a Yak-52...I can see that..especially for a government. I would be less concerned about what Vietnam is paying for a Yak-52 and more concerned about parts and spares availability. I would guess that if availability continues to be an issue, so will value of these airplanes. I know the P-51 community can pretty much make a brand new P-51 these days, it comes at an enormous cost. A friend of mine had a Mustang that needed one prop blade. If I recall, it cost him about 20K shipped. Multiply that by 4 plus a hub and spinner......point is, is it cost effective (or productive) for someone to start making parts that are simply no longer available? viperdoc(at)mindspring.co wrote: > Okay knew you were not referring to the Raptor or the Lightening II. > Doc > > -- Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=322334#322334

    Guys, I wanted to let you know that I appreciated your help. One example of why this list is so great is that I received phone calls and e-mail off-list offering support for my request. I also received an e-mail from Aircraft Exhaust - they have had a family emergency and will return to the shop on December 7th. Thanks again for your help! Jill

    Copy, Jack Rouch has a new niche for his NASCAR engine and frame companies. Not that he needs one. He makes P-51 airframe parts as well as parts for the Merlin. Glad someone is doing it. With CADD, parts for the YAK can be machined also at a cost. Question is, will the YAK community support those costs? I have my doubts after my excursion into making Carbon Monoxide scrubbers. A company for NASCAR makes them now...they are not cheap but are effective. Not sure they will sell them to the aviation community with all the associated liability.

    Hello Joe, maybe some photos could help : For disassembling open top and bottom gas valves, drain the oil from the top valve. Unscrew the threaded ring at the bottom and pull the leg out. There are sets of o-rings for static and dynamic sealing, and a felt "seal" . The damping valve could do with some mod I believe. Watch this place for my findings. Cheers Vic Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=322394#322394 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/top_bush_203.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/damping_valve_883.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/bottom_bush_186.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/assembly_190.jpg
