Of course I beefed up the support ring for operating without the shutters. I too
learned the hard way and ended up making new "L" brackets out of 4130 steel
for the support ring.
Another thing to watch are the mount rubber donuts. I now make the older, push-in
kind. Going to the newer (CJ) screw-in donut requires getting new mounts.

I haven't weighed in on this on the YAK List, but it seems that
everyone is worring about chute size/porosity etc too much. IF I can
actually get get out of the aircraft for whatever reason I've decided
that's the best alternative at hand and IF am at an altitude that I can

Its just not how fast you come down, but will it stay together during the
opening shock. A lot of good, a bunch of blown panels will do you. Its
been along time since I flew a jump plane, but I saw a lot of malfunction
s. Back then the sky divers use surplus emergency chutes. The chutes wer
e packed into "sleeves" that allowed a 'gentler' opening sequence not only
for the body but to keep from blowing cores or panels. Even than I can
tell you the shock is remembered. A chute with a blown panel not only co
mes down faster but will spin because it is spilling air out one side. Th
is makes it come down even faster. I am sure every chute manufacture will
most likely ask what your weight is. When I brought my, Strong's, it was
the first thing the sales guy asked me.
BTW I've seen a couple of "cut always" where a jumper had to get rid of hi
s main chute and go to his reserve. They were very unstable, with large
oscillation (swings) and every one broke something. Believe me you do no
t want to hit the ground on the wrong end of a swing, the radial rotation
speed in the arch is added to you falling speed at some point.

Pappy,
Thanks for the reply. Here's my thought process for emergency
bailout chute considerations (not skydiving):
Won't a jumper slow to a terminal velocity of around 120 mph within
approximately one second of clearing the aircraft? If I recall my Navy
training they taught us to count to three (likely less than 3 seconds in
an extremis situation) to stabilize your body in the airstream before
you pull the D ring to avoid entanglement. By then you'd be well under
the 150 mph canopy rating. Keep in mind that we're talking about
YAKs/Nanchangs not Mustangs. If you manage to pull 12+ g's in a YAK or
Nanchang the resulting twisted wreckage from the airframe failure or
GLOC will make the chute a moot point. In the event of a midair
collision our (notso)sleek airframes will likely become pretty draggy
and hopefully be escapable if the pilot closes the throttle. Otherwise
a properly executed controlled bailout due to engine failure over
hostile terrain like mountains should be well within a 150 mph canopy
rating. Navy parachute riggers were adamant about properly cinched
chutes or torso harnesses so I'm still in the habit of snugging up my
harness once I'm seated in the aircraft. But, even that was for
stories of aircrew punching out at 450 kts where the harness came to an
immediate halt and the body hit the webbing at near the original
ejection speed resulting in severe injury from the lower crotch straps.
I also tell my wife if we ever have to go over the side or out the top
in a controlled bailout to pull on every bitter end until it hurts if
she has time. As far as blown panels, wouldn't they be more a function
of an aged or improperly inspected canopy at the likely speeds we would
deploy a chute? Granted that the lower the deployment speed, the better
everything is going to turn out. That's my thought process for
anything beyond one swing is gravy.
Thanks,
Mark Davis

malfunctions. Back then the sky divers use surplus emergency chutes.
The chutes were packed into "sleeves" that allowed a 'gentler' opening
sequence not only for the body but to keep from blowing cores or panels.
Even than I can tell you the shock is remembered. A chute with a blown
panel not only comes down faster but will spin because it is spilling
air out one side. This makes it come down even faster. I am sure every
chute manufacture will most likely ask what your weight is. When I
brought my, Strong's, it was the first thing the sales guy asked me.
BTW I've seen a couple of "cut always" where a jumper had to get rid
of his main chute and go to his reserve. They were very unstable, with
large oscillation (swings) and every one broke something. Believe me
you do not want to hit the ground on the wrong end of a swing, the
radial rotation speed in the arch is added to you falling speed at some
point.

Doc,
I haven't weighed in on this on the YAK List, but it seems that
everyone is worring about chute size/porosity etc too much. IF I can
actually get get out of the aircraft for whatever reason I've decided
that's the best alternative at hand and IF am at an altitude that I can
get a swing in the chute I don't give a shit whether I bust an ankle if
I'm alive. Survival is paramount, everything else is gravy!

Pappy is absolutely correct. You make the decision to eject before
ever leaving the ground. You need to review your EPs and decide under
what circumstances would you would give the jet back to the taxpayers in
pieces. No one steps to fly that day planning on stepping over the side.
Sane person that is. The average descent rate for the standard military
chute is 17 mph for a 180 lb pilot. Simply said, the fatter you are the
faster you are going fall therefore arriving at terra firma at a higher
rate of descent.

One of things you need to be concerned about on chutes, is its
porosity. I had a chute for a number of years until the gal I had
repacking it suggested that if I had to use it, I'd want to consider
trying to land in trees! Otherwise I'd "most likely brake ankles or
leg." Now I have made 7 jumps and you do land with a very pronounced
thud. And since my current wight is more massive than back 63, I took
her advice.
Anyway I advise you make sure you take into account your weight
(now & future) when picking the chute. And gentle men, always put into
your mind a plan on when you will use a chute. What conditions will you
'step over the side'? Try imagine all the situations that would make
you do so. Plus take a little time climbing OUT of your cockpit with
your chute on. You may be surprised how difficult it is. You can take
this educational experience if you will all the way to a local jump
school and try one or a couple of tandem jumps with an instructor. Much
saner than the old days, believe me.
And if you don't think you'll ever need to? - - - well I nearly
departed a Pitts I spent 5 long years building. With smoke filling the
cockpit, one flicker of flame and I would have departed all that work,
in 5/10s of a second. That kind of 'back-up' and a plan made long
before, allowed me to think about and work the situation. A chute is
not just to sit on.

The 306 is the way to go as it fits properly and snugly in the
seat pan. The 304 will be sloppy in the seat pan and your legs and
thighs will rub up against the edges of the seat pan. Many people over
6'1" use the 306 including in the 52 which does not have a vertical seat
adjustment without a problem. Use the seat height adjuster on the CJ if
you think you're too close to the canopy glass.

Gentlemen,
thank you very much for your input. It was very informative and
helpful. Off to order my 306 tomorrow.
I also learned alot from the posted bailout comments too. Great
information for a new CJ/warbird owner.
Thanks again,

Thanks Walt. Is a cyl. 5-6 thousands over still servicable? If not, does
anyone make oversize rings?

Paul;
I think that may be acceptable if some choke still remains and you fit new standard
rings though you could expect an increase in oil consumption.
Check with Doug for rings - maybe an oversize is available??
I believe the M14 has the same bore so that manual may be helpful in determining
repair tolerances.
