Really? At least I think you hav e enough volume with the wobble pump in the CJ to keep it going but I am not nearly as convinced that one could keep a Yak52 in the air on the "aux" pum p. > > -- > Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL > 3191 Western Dr. > Cameron Park, CA 95682 > brian@lloyd.com > +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) > +1.916.877.5067 (USA) > > > ========================== ========= ========================== ========= ========================== ========= ========================== ========= > ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:18:06 PM PST US From: Thomas Geoghegan Subject: RE: Yak-List: Trying to identify CJ part found at gib's feet Yep, that was it. Got some new screws & going to put it back on tomorrow. Without it, no rudder control for the gib! Thanks for the help.

No, I am not an expert on absolutely everything. I am just more familiar with more parts of physics and engineering than most people I have met. I also tend to test things by experiment. I do a lot of test flying of airplanes to see what they really do, not what other people tell me that they do. I tend not to trust "conventional wisdom" until I can understand its origin. For example, I was told from a very early age that one should never turn back to the runway after an engine failure on upwind. OTOH, the turn-back to a downwind landing is normal in a glider after a rope break above a certain altitude. I wondered why it isn't the same with a powered plane. So I went out and experimented. I did several attempts in different aircraft and determined that the turn-back is a viable maneuver in some aircraft from some altitudes but not viable in other aircraft. These included actual turn-back to a dead-stick landing. It is one thing to do it at altitude but it is also very helpful to do for real where the visual cues are different. In addition, one of the things I am really good at is systems analysis. I have an uncanny ability to look at a system a quickly deduce its points of weakness and the ramifications of failure of various components. I tend to then go about redesigning systems in aircraft I own to eliminate single-points-of-failure. FWIW, the CJ6A presents an AMAZING number of areas for improvement. I have never owned a Yak52 but suspect that its systems would respond to similar analysis. I guess you weren't around here 10 years ago. :-) -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 brian@lloyd.com +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.916.877.5067 (USA) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message yak-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Yak-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/yak-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/yak-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
