| Subject: | Yak 52 (TW?) Fatal Crash in New Zealand |
Group,
We received this news yesterday:
http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/two-friends-die-small-plane-crashes-into-par
k-4698019
On radio, folks said these guys were well know in the area, and one of them
was based there, as was the plane. The other used to be in the Manawatu,
too. Not sure if this was his field. Some relatives overseas and they're
trying to get in touch. No names yet.
" The two-seater Aerostar Yak 52TW aircraft crashed..."
Very sad news.

After thoroughly cleaning the hub, the issue was that it still had the Chinese
grease. I can't believe someone installed a prop hub without cleaning and changing
the grease to Aeroshell 5 but that's what happened. Works better than new
now that it's all cleaned, re-greased and I put new seals in while I had it apart.
If you have one of these hubs (Yak or CJ) and aren't 100% sure that it has U.S.
grease, and it's not getting cleaned, inspected and redone every year during
your conditionals...you should do it NOW.
Two guys literally could not move the prop with the piston removed with that grease
in there.

Every Year? Rebuild the prop? Especially after cleaning it completely and re assembling

I thought he was just suggesting cleaning it and replacing the grease
on an annual basis. I agree that might be overkill but I don't think
it would be a bad thing.

Greasing the hub means pulling the blades out of the hub, which also
means re-indexing the blades when you put them back in. It also means
replacing all the seals.
Personally, if my prop moves freely and does not leak oil or grease, I
don't pull the blades out every year just to put new grease in.
Different story if they are spewing grease out of the seals and all over
the blades!
I'll probably be shot at sun-rise for admitting that. But that is
just me making a risk versus value assessment. To each his own.

Actually you don't have to pull the blades to clean and grease the
bearings. The only time one needs to pull the blades is to 1) replace
the seals inside the large castellated nuts by removing the
counterweight collars and then sliding the large castellated nuts out
over the opening or 2) to replace the blades or remove them to have them
refinished.
To grease the hub all one has to do is remove the large castellated nut
locking tab in the front of the hub and unscrew the large castellated
nut. This will expose the inner bearing and race, the slider. The
outer bearing will be accessible on the blade assembly that is removed
as an assembly when you unscrew the large castellated nut. Of course
the prop hub dome and piston must be removed first.
If there are weights mounted on the large castellated nuts, be certain
to mark them and their position in relation to the hub before removing them.

BTW, removing the entire blade assembly as mentioned does not affect the
blades angles since the counterweight collar is not loosened as it would
be to unscrew a blade.

The Chinese manual say's to pack some grease on the inside of the hub on the
bearing area. As there are no inside
seals centrifugal force will push / pull the grease into the bearing race
area. When I do this to mine I get a small amount
of grease coming out past the seals for the next couple of flights.

You don't fly your airplane 200 hours per year? I know that when I had
my (flying) CJ I certainly did.

I stand corrected.
Thank you Dennis.
Mark
p.s. I greased my prop 5 years ago and replaced the prop blade seals at the same
time. (They were leaking grease). Since then I have not done anything with
the prop except inspect it carefully before and after every flight). I encourage
everyone to make their own decisions.

I don't either Brian. About 100 hours per year for the first couple of years,
and now less than that.
Of course I have two airplanes to fly and they both have been flying constantly
since I purchased them. No down time. :-)

You don't fly your airplane 200 hours per year? I know that when I had
my (flying) CJ I certainly did.

| Subject: | For RPA members heading for S-n-F |
Once again RPA will carry the flag to the South. It promises to be a
banner year with S&F buying fuel.
MUST PRE REGISITER WITH EAAWB for these bennies.
1. Free fuel fill-up upon arrival with pre-registration.
2. Admission to Airshow Performers Tent (includes daily lunch).
3. Admission to Airshow Performers Party on Saturday night.
4. Specialty Aircraft can receive an upgraded Hospitality package with
consideration on a one on one basis.
(not sure what that means)
5. Wristbands Bomber = 9 wristbands, Transports= 7, Fighter/jets= 5,
Trainers/Liaison = 3.
6. Those who pre-register will receive 2 extra wristbands.
7. Legitimate USMC aircraft will get 4 additional wristbands.
Start Date: Monday, March 26, 2012
End Date: Sunday, April 1, 2012
Make sure you sign up on the RPA (_www.flyredstar.org_
(http://www.flyredstar.org) ) site too since we need to plan for supplies, table, chairs, tent
size, etc etc.
The hotel is:
Red Rose Inn & Suites
2011 North Wheeler St.
Plant City, Fl.
813-752-3141
$69.00 / night From March 27 to Apr. 1.
I've blocked 10 rooms. We can book more if we go over 10. All will be
double beds. The hotel is on the north side of Plant City (NW of LAL) right
off I-4. VERY easy drive to airshow.
It has bar and restaurant, internet etc. 4 stars. This was the closest I
could find under $100/nt. that was not already booked.
Members must book themselves under "Red Star Pilots". I'd do it soon as
there are few rooms left anywhere near LAL.
Also plan on coming down early and stop by Wings of Flagler airshow March
23 to 25. Our own Bill (Pirate) Kim (Heels) Mills are running a big show
at Flagler Co (KXFL). Go to _www.yakrobatic.com_
(http://www.yakrobatic.com/) , or _kinberly@wingsoverflagler.com_
(mailto:kinberly@wingsoverflagler.com) , for information and to contact Kim for details. From there you can
go right to S-N-F.
