    Noel, excellent video and air display! thanks for posting. About outside loops, what speed do you get when diving inverted and does the Yak 52 have any slipstream effect to the left when going at low speeds in an outside loop? if so, do you correct it with the right rudder only or by putting the right wing a little down as well?

    I have not personally seen a set up like Hal's before. A rear louver system was produced on the 52TWs and 52Ws. I remember some the guys had a few bugs for a while. Aerodynamic & operational wise I'm not convinced they are any better. I'm of the old school where you don't go to something new unless what you have is worn out and needs to be replaced. Than spend the time and money on the new idea. An inverted oil system is do able. There is plenty of room under the cowl. Running a vent line to the tail, while it sound "clean" (unless you run it externally on the skin- yuk! ) the number of bulkheads and spar web you would need to transverses makes it a complicated task. Under the cowl you might use a modified Yak 52 system. The oil tank would need to modified with a oil pick up point on the top of the tank somewhere and a ball slid tube and "T" inserted in the feed line somewhere. All this is a do able project, which I contemplated at length one time. My decision not to, was based on the only 4 facts as I SEE them. 1. The CJ is not a good design (was not meant to be) for extended inverted flight. 2. I do not do extended inverted flight. 3. The short inverted flight that I do - do, not that much oil goes overboard. 4. I rather spend the money on petrol. BTAIM, that is the great thing our airplanes in the Experimental / Exposition cat. We can carry out our dreams and ideas to make a better mouse trap or at least one that has our mark on it. Me? I put on a gas machine gun and bomb shackles that work.

    Keith, I have not seen a cowling with rear vent controls. I use a Sukhoi iris on the front with a remote actuator. At 16,500' feet, 5 degrees f, for about 2.5 hours engine stayed warm. Also works well on descents. My oil tank vent line runs Sukhoi style from the tank to the rear of the plane. No oil down the side so far. Hal Sent from my iPad

    Chaps Has anyone ever experimented with modifying the supercharger ratio on the CJ6? I've read the Chinese produced 'some' higher power versions of the HS6 radial engine, anyone care to guess how they did this?

    After two 3 minute routines, the belly of my CJ is covered, even with the oil level fairly low. I don't do extended inverted flight either but just pushing over the top of a vertical maneuver or during a hesitation roll or even a HH is enough to let it rip. Realistically it's not a lot of oil but it just spreads out everywhere and gets into every conceivable crack and crevice. Plus that 25w-60 is like tar! I just started thinking about the possibility of running a vent tube to the tail after looking at a similar set up in a Pitts 12. Good luck with school!

    Etienne, Last week I was in a meeting with Belgium CAA and they told us about your mails to them. you have succeeded in grouding all the russian registered YAK in Belgium and France and Netherland will probably follow the move. We all thank you for your huge effort in telling everywhere that a RAK YAK is more dangerous than the other registrations. The result is in temporarily grouding. BRAVO. Now you can be known as the man who grouded the YAK We will remember that.

    Subject: CJ Oil tank vent
    Many operators, me included have run a line from the tank vent up to the engine case vent, located just forward of the generator and behind #1. I used a "Y" fitting with a hose barb. The gear case vent also pukes oil during "maneuvering" flight. I wrapped some filter media around it so it still vents. Others actually mount a small paper crankcase breather vent. Helps.
