    Subject: FW: M 14 P
    G'Day Dennis, Thanks for that and I shall forward it to my mate. Rhonda and Monty are champions. I bought a set of the 3 ring pistons for my engine. And fitted the Richard Goode supercharger gears. Naturally we did the vales, seats and only exhaust guides. What a nightmare grinding the exhaust seats as the buggers are bloody hard. Anyway all done and really came up good. Thanks again and cheers, Chris. From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of A. Dennis Savarese Sent: Tuesday, 15 May 2012 10:14 PM Subject: Re: Yak-List: FW: M 14 P Chris,' You should contact Barrett Precision Engines in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I guarantee you they will have the answers you need. 918-835-1089. Outstanding US overhaul shop. They have developed and have running a beautiful coil-over electronic ignition (one coil per spark plug) and fuel injection setup for the M14. Most likely you will speak to Rhonda first. Ask Rhonda if you can discuss some technical stuff with either Monte Barrett or Allen Barrett. They will also have cylinders for exchange. Rhonda's email address is Rhonda@BPAENGINES.com. Dennis A.

I have done all of my valves, intake and exhaust and used some grinding wheels (Dressed the angles with a diamond tip stone grinder in the lathe. One hell of a mess) and made some various size mandrels for both intake and exhaust to suite the slight differences of the guides. I found the exhaust seats to be extremely hard and went by the angles in the manual. Hey Chris, Do you know or could you find out if anyone knows what the M14P's factory exhaust valve face and exhaust valve seat angles should be ? Also, please ask if operators have had their exhaust valve seats re-cut and if so, did they encounter difficulty cutting the seat due to the hardness ? After hearing about your difficulties, I am contemplating making a diamond impregnated dressing stone for this task. Any takers ? Is there an exchange service for overhauled cylinders ? I have a mate who requires 3 urgently. I guess when the leakage exceeds the starting air flow, you have to either fit an electric start or FIX the problem, eh ? Cheers, Ivor Paech LAME

    Subject: EI Feedback
    I'm looking for feedback from folks with Electronic Ignition installed in their Yak or CJ as part of research for an article I'm doing for the Red Alert. Already been in contact with the folks at Barrett and they were very forthcoming with details. So far no info on the Blackwell system though I've been told that some of the Arizona CJ's have his setup installed. Owner/operator feedback is what I'm looking for. Maybe someone will have something up at Oshkosh. Please contact me if you have anything you can share. Incidentally, Magneto prices have been soaring lately if anyone missed it. Craig Payne

    Thanks for the kind words Barry. It has been 24 years since I flew competitions and air shows. That makes me ....very rusty.... so I will take all the help I can get. Thank you all for the input. I am on my way to the airport to see if I can sort this out and then clean up the oily mess I made. Gord

Are you sure these numbers are valid for the Huosai? The problem with engine power output calculation/graphs is that they don't directly translate into actual performance of the aircraft. Propeller efficiency plays a big part in translating hp into thrust and that changes with RPM, density, TAS, etc. So knowing just how much HP the engine is making is less useful than it might first seem. I don't know about the rest of you but I tend to fly using only a few different power settings at only a few different altitudes. It is pretty easy to check the performance at those settings and a few around it (you might change RPM) and then compare TAS and fuel consumption to see what works best. You will also get good real-world performance data for YOUR airplane. Book numbers are useful in order to figure out if your airplane is doing something grossly wrong but I can just about guarantee that they aren't the numbers for your airplane. Of course, loading has an effect as well. It is useful to check performance at different standard loadings. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 brian@lloyd.com +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.916.877.5067 (USA)

    My sources say that the Housai engine is identical to the RussianAI14RA. Probably originally license built.

Do we need to start the, "The CJ6A is/is-not a copy of the Yak," thread again? I haven't seen that for awhile. ;-) -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 brian@lloyd.com +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.916.877.5067 (USA)

    The AI14RA is virtually identical to the Huosai 6. As far as I know the only difference is the carburettor adaptor. It is not identical to the Huosai 6A.
