I remembered that I have one in English. I am going to make a copy for him. If anyone else wants one let me know and have Staples run off some more. It is about 85 pages and several are fold out 11 x 17 size with the diagrams, so it will be about $45 or so per copy. I may have the manuals for the V520 propeller as well. I know I have copies of all the service bulletins for the Z37, V520 and M462RF in Czech language as well. There was a woman from China on the list offering parts for the CJ and Housai engines. I would like to contact her about making exhaust valves for the M14P. George Coy CAS Ltd. 714 Airport Rd.

I have not yet confirmed that observation. It is at this time just that - an observation. If correct the only readily available Western propellor would be the Hamilton Standard 2B20. However there should be Avia Propellor models in the Czech Republic designed for that engine.

    Subject: Parachutes for Sukhoi Su-29/Su-31
    I would be very grateful if owners of these aircraft in the US could tell me what parachutes they use; are they satisfactory; do they fit well into the moulded seat of these planes? Of course Su-26 is totally different. We normally recommend National Parachutes to our customers, and one recently bought a National parachute, but said that it was simply too big to fit into the seat - so grateful for opinions from others - remember that most European Sukhois still use the original Russian parachutes, which we are allowed to, but many are getting to the stage where they must be replaced.

    Guys, I am installing an electronic boost & primer system in my CJ6. Do I have to retain the check valve that is in the main line & connects to the wobble pump lines? I am planning to put the electic boost pump at that location. Thanks.

    Paul, Contact Walt Lannon or Bill @ Star, both have it figured out. Might save reinventing the wheel.

    Victory Aero and Kregg Victory would be a good way to go on the west coast. He has done plenty of Yak-50/52 maintenance. Vladimir Yastremski is another good option, as is Jill Genertzke of M-14P. All of these folks are in the Pacific Time Zone. Bill Blackwell is another one...he does mostly CJ work, but is familiar with the Yak, also. If it's in the intermountain west, I'll be happy to help you out. Hope this helps, Barry -------- Barry Hancock Worldwide Warbirds, Inc.
