That airplane is based in Brantford, Ontario. The guy who owns it also
has an L-29 (Delphin). The movie's producers painted the plane with some
hind of non-permanent material, so after the were done borrowing filming
Resident Evil, the owner had it painted with real paint in the same
scheme.
I can probably arrange for you to fondle it. Maybe you can channel MIla
that way.

Is that new propeller for the Yak a complete unit? I'm really only interested in
new blades that fit the old hub.

outstanding performance compared to standard original blades :

- Higher cruise speed @ any power setting.
- @ 70% of power setting an average of 15 / 18 KMH / 8 /10 KTS faster.
- Shorter landings thanks to greater propeller disc.
- More energic feeling during all aerobatic manoeuvres.
- Very good cooling in hot places.
- Reduced noise level both in the cockpit that out side.
- Smoother engine running.
- Lower fuel burning.
- Reduced engine damage when prop ground impact compared to blade made
of aluminium or all composite.

After this email I wrote another email to many YAK pilots and this was the email:

Subject: Humberto Dramisino from GT Propeller
Dear Sir,
My name is Humberto Dramisino and I'm a business partner with GT propeller in Italy.
GT is an old manufacture of propeller for aircraft and they do propeller for warbird
like your CJ and many other.
I will receive by the end of February one set of blade for your aircraft and I'm
looking for somebody interested to buy them, all the test they were already
made in Italy and Romania, and the result were outstanding compared to the original
one.
The price for both propeller delivered to you is 8989.00, attached to this email
you have the manual please have a look.
Our propeller are made in high densified wood, and are capable to use all the power
of your engine not limited like some of our competitors.
If you have any other question, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Humberto

Humberto,
Thank you for the offer. Have not I seen this propeller blade replacement offerring
for over 3 years now? At $8989 USD for blades only, I am afraid that the
MTV 3-blade, with hub, becomes a viable option. At a price point of $4000 - $5000
USD, the blades could get some initial market share, leading to later price
increases. Perhaps if your company could visit the major events like Sun 'n
Fun and Oshkosh with a flying demo version, you could start getting orders in
the U.S.
I could try your prop blades and show them off as I am located at Lakeland Florida
at the Sun 'N Fun location and also fly at Oshkosh AirVenure each year.
Could I also suggest that your Yak Manual could use some editing of the English
translation? This is something I could do. I spent my career in the technical
world and have authored many of the manuals available on the RedStar Pilots Association
website.

Dear Craig,
Thank you for your quick response, just to clarify, the price is for the two blade
delivered (shipping included), you have to only remove the original and put
the new one on it, same hub.
The two blade perform way better than the 3 blade from MT you can not even compare
them, test were done in Italy.
3 blades look only nicer if you want, no more than that.
with GT-Propeller we guarantee better climb, better cruise at same rpm, shorter
landing, low noise comparable to 3 blades, , not to mention better fuel economy.
The foil design by GT Italy only for the Yak's type airplane is not a generic prop
like MT.
If you interested please let me know, we are looking for serious people to do serious
business, we are not looking for somebody to test because as I mentioned
test were already done for the past 5 years, the product is final and outperform
anything that today is on the market.
I will have soon the first set in north America please let me know if there is
any interest on your side.
We are so sure about our quality that in our policy is if you are not satisfy we
will take the propeller back and you will be refund in full, this is how we
now that our product is the best, try to ask MT to do the same.
Best regards,
Humberto

Humberto,
It's not about testing, it's about marketing. Many owners tend to discount claims
made by manufacturers and trust what they hear from a fellow owner and see
flying. Even if your blades could perform as you state, no one is going to believe
it without visible proof.
The 3-blade "looks" better also, this is important to many owners. Regardless,
you will find few sales at those prices. As for the existing 2-blade V530, Whirlwind
Propeller will refurbish an existing set of blades with a composite cover
and nickel edge for around $2500 per pair, delivered. They look great and last
a long time.
My aircraft is a Nanchang CJ-6 with M-14P engine and large spinner, my speeds are
much higher than the Yaks. Could your propeller perform as well on this kind
of airframe? Engineering claims will not matter as much as real comparisons
by private owners.

Dear Craig,
Like I mentioned to you I'm only looking somebody serious to sell my first set
of blade, and it amazed me how in this field owners of airplane are only looking
for the cheapest thing in the market to mounted on one of the most important
part of the airplane, and they don't look for more tangible improvement, not
to mention safety.
I see people repair cracked wood propeller on these airplanes by adding a piece
of wood in the crack with glue, sand it and flying it, when in Italy we not even
use them to hang it on the wall.
I also notice that often some pilot spend many thousand of dollar in useless instrument
when the only important thing that hold them in the air they want it
as cheap as possible, well I don't want to generalize and that's way I know i
will find somebody that understand all this.
About the speed of your airplane yes the propeller will do the perfect job on yours
as well, if your airplane is more sleek in the air it will use more pitch
and the blade is design for that.
I will keep you posted,
Best regards,
Humberto Dramisino
Since than I never heard from you, until you wrote to GT the following:
Buongiorno Alex,
So does all this text you wrote on the Yak-list mean that we will see a set of
those prop blades on a Yak-52 or a CJ-6 at either Sun-n-Fun or Oshkosh? I have
tried to communicate with "Humberto" via email numerous times but something got
lost in translation.
It's not the Talk I'm interested in, It's your prop blades on one of our airplanes
Walking the Talk, that will sell me on this prop. Quotes from your Engineering
department, filtered through Marketing may prove difficult to translate into
sales.
Craig Payne
After this email... sorry guys I blew out, why? because after all the tests done
by Rick Volker in USA, and many other pilots worldwide, you are still wondering
if these blades are good or not, and trying to convince us to send you a free
set for you to test. Sorry you came too late, no test no more, if want them
you will have to pay.
About the manufacturers that are doing good looking replacement propellers I tell
you: sorry, GT is focused on making hi performance propellers not only good
looking design, and safety is our first target on our product.
That's why GT takes the time to develop products - behind those blades there are
years of testing, test after test.
The material GT use is one of the best available in world from the wood to the
composite, no compromise, no cheap off corners.
GT doesn't make cheap propellers. If you are looking to save money and buy a less
expensive propeller and, you like to be a Guinea pig for others then do what
you please.
If you'd like to discuss business, I can be available any time, just call me.
Best regards,
Humberto

| Subject: | canopy replacement |
I'm in the process of replacing the original rear cockpit glass on my CJ. After
disassembly I see that the original glass was isolated from the frame using very
thin rubber strips which were glued to the metal frame or in some locations
to the glass itself.
I read Jill's article regarding canopy replacement but was wondering what you all
have used to keep the frame from directly touching the glass. I think the felt
strips at 1/16" would be too thick.
Thanks,
Keith McKinley
