G'Day All,
I have been looking for cowls, heater box and other bits and pieces due to a
landing and partial undercarriage collapse in our 18T
I have had many emails asking what happened and more importantly is everyone
O.K. which is greatly appreciated.
I am absolutely impressed by the concern shown re "is every one O.K." and
cannot express my thanks enough for that.
I am told that there are those who have, and those who have not.
I owe it to you all to explain what happened with the hope that you will all
gather something from this.
I am also posting this to hopefully highlight and emphasise the familiarity
and something that one sometimes takes for granted.
I fly from a beautiful country airstrip that has been taken over by a
organization who believe in the minimum use of radio calls in the circuit.
On the downwind leg I knew that there was a sportscub somewhere in the
circuit not radio calling their intentions and could not find.
As per usual on downwind, speed right, dunlops down, heard a clunk, saw a
green light, and for some strange reason, moved the undercarriage selector
to the neutral position.
Head out the cockpit.
So the left main was down and locked, but the nose and main right had not
deployed when due to me returning the selector to neutral, stoped the cycle.
Also ignored the sticks.
>From now on it is simply my lack of conducting the checks as I was taught
from day one.
Immediately under the airspeed indicator I have a placard. PUFF, in Red.
Pitch, undercarriage, flaps, fuel pump on.
Called and finally identified the sportscub on finals on another runway when
I was on finals and the rest speaks for itself.
I stuffed up and the distraction got the better of me.
Result a bent Yak. But no harm to anyone and totally repairable.
Why have I posted this?
Well we are humans and can stuff up, but we have checks in place for dammed
good reasons and I hope that this serves as a simple reminder how easy it is
to "stuff Up"
I can honestly tell you all that I think that my ego is more dented the than
the 18T.
Must also post. A dammed strong aircraft. Removed the wing, all inspection
covers off, fuel tank out, apart from the gravel rash, spars and everything
else is absolutely fine.
Thanks and cheers,
Chris.

Thanks for posting Chris. Distraction on the downwind base turn is the leadi
ng cause of gear up issues. Glad all are well. Yes, the YAK is one tough bir
d.

| Subject: | Generator problem |
Hello, I need your help
I have a problem with the generator
I have been flying my Yak-52 without problems.
In one flight the light of the generator failure started in intermittent
mode.
After one flight the light generator failure, was in red continuously,
not only below 40% in all the rpm.
I changed the generator with a new one, it is very easy: 2 hours job.
After the generator was changed, everything seemed ok
After 4 flights suddenly the generator failure changed continuously in
red again, not intermitent.
The electricity is a mystery for me, excuse me for my english.
Best regards

| Subject: | Re: Looking for M14P/PF |
Just to provide clarification, no inference that M14P Inc are
responsible for the issues associated with my engine. I don't have
the logs with me but can confirm that it is higher time with approx
2000 hrs TT, it was overhauled approx 278 hrs ago with a prop strike
inspection and return to service 75 hrs ago. The aircraft was imported
to Australia, assembled and flown approx 2.6 hrs. It was due to be
ferried 1000 miles this week.
During a loop, the engine started to vibrate badly. This was 20
minutes into a flight. Then it got worse, smoke filled the cabin and
was landed immediately. The cowls were removed and it looks as though
the front crank case had come loose, all the nuts (spring washers were
on) holding the crankcase together had come loose. The front of the
engine will come off to determine the cause and damage.
It may be an easy fix, don't know. Personally I would be uncomfortable
flying with this engine.
