    This problem has been known for a while : Crack in elevator control system pulley - UK CAA MPD : 2000-004 (27 July 2000). See attachment. I am surprised Yak-52 pilots are just discovering it now (after the fatal accident in Russia). It is a required inspection - annually for Yak-52 maintained under the supervision of the UK CAA. There are of course other important Mandatory Permit Directives (MPD) issued by the UK Civil Aviation Authority for the Yak-52 : http://www.yakuk.com/MPD.htm Airframe life limit (confirmed by the Yakovlev Design Bureau) : http://www.yakuk.com/MPD1998-017R5.pdf http://www.yakuk.com/MPD2004-006.pdf Etc ... etc ...

    Barry/Blitz, I use the Samsung Galaxy tab 7.0. You would use the Naviator app for the Android operating system. I find this to be easier than the Ipad due to the built in GPS and the 7 inch screen. This is no bigger than a DoD approach plate and I use an instrument leg strap to hold it in place. No stick interference in my CJ or the navy jets I fly. Mike Elrod N368MB -------- Mike Elrod N368MB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=366967#366967

    Hi Dennis ! 1. There will be Yak-52 available for rent during the World Championship. As you can read in Bulletin 1 : (11.) "Organizer provides competitors with aircraft Yak-52 on the site of the Championship Organizers provide an airplane for first 3 competitors of each team for free". http://wayakc2012.mfavs.ru/assets/files/wayakc-bulletin.pdf So American Yak-52 pilots are welcome in Russia ! No excuses. 2. Most European countries have grounded "russian registered" Yak-52 with "russian C. of A." because as Richard (Goode) explained : "The simple fact is FLA were NEVER approved to issue Certificates of Airworthiness and Registrations for anything but amateur built aircraft, and certainly not for aircraft outside Russia". http://64.81.74.33/viewtopic.php?t=88728&highlight=russian+registration All this has been discussed "ad nauseam" before ... : http://64.81.74.33/viewtopic.php?t=82956&highlight=etienne+verhellen 3. I think "russian registrations" with "russian Airworthiness Certificates" issued by FLA are still accepted in France ... at the moment ... although they have been declared illegal in ALL other European countries ... !! http://www.pilotundflugzeug.de/img/red/yak/GroundingRussianDirective.pdf http://www.yakuk.com/UKreg.asp http://www.pilotundflugzeug.de/img/red/yak/SchreibenFAAR.pdf 4. Yak-52 registered and maintained under the supervision of the UK Civil Aviation Authority and Lithuanian CAA are allowed to fly in Europe. Other National European CAAs are now working to establish requirements to have Yak-52 registered and issued with legal Airworthiness Certificate.

    WAC 2012. No, not correct. The 52 is not certificated and so does not automaticly get airworthiness documents from ANY country, UNLESS that country gives specific permission for it. The problem is that there is NO uniformity between the countries in Europe as to what non-certificated planes can fly. So what has been grounded in MOST [but not all] countries are 50s and 52s flying on Russian "FLA" registrations. But they are flying fine in a number of countries.

    I have found that you have to stay ahead of the imbalance from early on in the flight. As soon as one of the tanks comes off 60, watch every 5 minutes or so to see when the other one comes off and attempt to keep them balanced with excess yaw and the fuller wing tank high. You might think this cuts down your TAS dramatically, but I have found it to only be a couple of knots difference. Waiting until the tanks are low to fix things is too late...

My sister and I arre putting together a celebration and Navy-style send-off for him on the 26th of May in McGregor, Iowa. (See attached link). I'm trying to put together a missing man flyover for The Commander for the 26th, Saturday. His hometown is beautiful, on the bluffs on the Mississippi River. The Natives are friendly, the beer is cold and the cheese curds are...plentiful. I want to extend an invitation to all in the Red Star Community, especially the ones in the Midwest, to come and fly. I can't promise much more than a tank of gas, discounted fuel prices (maybe) and excellent hospitality. Plus some beautiful areas to do low-levels, far away from the prying eyes of Radar. Join me to celebrate the passing of one of The Greatest Generation, a combat Vet of WWII, Korea and VietNam.

    Mike. Gary Gabbard in LAS. CJ N22YK. Would please send me the complete name and version number for the navigation app you are using. And maybe the site you downloaded it from. As I have been considering purchasing the Samsung Galaxy. Thanks.

You would use the Naviator app for the Android operating system. I find this to be easier than the Ipad due to the built in GPS and the 7 inch screen. This is no bigger than a DoD approach plate and I use an instrument leg strap to hold it in place. No stick interference in my CJ or the navy jets I fly. > > Mike Elrod > N368MB > > -------- > Mike Elrod > N368MB > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=366967#366967 > > > > > > > > > >
