Ok Doc. In the picture the things with the arrows on them are the check
valves. Regarding check valves, I have seen three different types.
Early YAK-50, Late YAK-50 and YAK-52. Then there are the ones that are
on the CJ-6, which makes FOUR different types. They all perform the
same function, and Western made replacements are available...a check
valve is a check valve. The Coy's can rebuild these.
The item on the RIGHT side of the picture is the Pressure Relief or
POP-OFF valve. The top piece on that is threaded and is what you use to
adjust the pressure regulation. Screw it tighter, higher pressure.
Unscrew it, less pressure.
If you take the top piece off, remove the piston and spring, then take
Doug Sapp's CJ-6 assembly and simply screw off the top of it, and then
remove it's piston and spring, all three pieces can then screw back into
the original YAK pop-off valve.

No my problem was not in the pop off valve itself. It was in the check
valves. You are correct the top part of the CJ pop off valve with the
piston and spring will work on the 50's base. just have to adjust the
pop pressure afterward. The CJ T fitting is a male fitting at the base
of the pop off valve.

| Subject: | Air system 'stuff' |
Doc,
The 74, 78 80 and 85 are identical when it comes to air system design
and landing gear operation. Some of the parts are different, but the
design and operation are the same. What are you talking about "the gear
is beefier"? Where are you getting this information? I am talking
YAK-50's here ok? You are passing unsupported assertions. Give me the
different part numbers you are talking about. Example, my YAK-50 has
Cleveland wheels and hyd. Toe brakes. That does not mean the factory
put that stuff there!
Regarding springs, a lot of them have been changed over the years as
they have rusted out. Springs are very critical. I think you are
assuming that since you see different parts on different 50's that the
factory used different parts. Realize that these aircraft have gone
through many owners and locations. A lot of mechs have changed parts
from stock. Most especially springs.
The only change in the fuel system was adding the Aux Tank.
We are not talking about YAK-18A's, and we are not talking about CJ6's.
We are talking about YAK-50's. Please stop misdirecting the discussion.
As regards the string of events that lead to an accident, yours or
anyone else's, you are absolutely correct. But I am not trying to
discuss that chain of events.
If you are telling me you DID check BOTH GREEN LIGHTS ON showing "down
and locked" and then you tell me that BOTH gear then collapsed after
landing due to some kind of air leak, that is just next to impossible.
You would have to have had BOTH landing gear switches out of rig. One
of them being slightly misadjusted, I could believe is possible. Both
of them being out of adjustment the exact same way, to the exact same
degree... the odds are next to impossible.
Loss of air pressure due to WHATEVER reason... actuators, broken lines,
broken chevron seals, main air valve not open, WHATEVER... can indeed
caused the gear to not come down and lock. The gear can be released
from the uplocks if there is ANY residual air pressure. It will then
come down and kind of HANG there. It will not lock and you will not
have both DOWN AND LOCKED green lights come on. This is probably what
happened to you. Something similar happened to me when my left gear was
not down and locked because the attach bolt had been over-tightened...
main gear leg attach bolt. But that is also "another story".
Regardless. Once a YAK-50 landing gear is down and locked, loss of air
pressure will not cause it to collapse... .and that statement applies to
every YAK-50 ever made.
The reason I am posting this in public is because you are giving the
impression to folks that this is not true. That loss of air pressure
after the gear is down and locked CAN cause the gear to collapse after
landing. I'm sorry, but leaving that kind of misinformation as truth
has to be corrected.
Loss of air pressure after the landing gear is down and locked on a
YAK-50 will never cause the landing gear to collapse.

Don't know Mark. To use a famous quote, " It just went blew!" Is the 74
the same as the 78 as the 80 as the 85? No. The gear is beefier on the
85 than the 78 for one. My mechanical lock spring is not as hefty as the
85's either. The fuel system is different also. I know that from
crawling around on the 85 sitting in the back of my hanger. The 85 has
better lateral stability than than the 78 slick wing that I have...had.
The 78's actuator as you say does not have the ball check valve. It uses
air to push and pull applied at either end of the actuator. As I said my
spring is smaller than that on the 85. And all I can tell for a heart
beat there I saw a wind screen full of green as the nose went down. One
blade is shorter than the other as well as it sheered off just inside
the cowl diameter and I have dirt up in my hub.
The CJ nose strut actuator will work on the 78 is another difference.
The CJ actuator is the same as the YAK 18A's. I don't know if they will
work on the later model 50's.
One of my air lines has 04 on it and the other has 02 on it. The lines
to the actuators have faded enough that I can not read them. So again
this was my error in not replacing them sooner.
I can tell you all incidents or accidents start as a series of small
events that lead up the big event. Just need to break the cycle to
prevent the incident. I did not catch the series. If I had listened to
that little internal voice that said taxi into your ramp and shut down
as I taxied by after fueling up we would not be having this
conversation. If I had not been pressed to beat a TFR, we would not be
having this conversation. If I had not checked the main air valve
before TO, we would not be having this conversation. If weather had not
become a factor in route going from marginal VFR to IFR resulting in my
turning back, we would not be having this conversation. But then again
had I landed on concrete instead of grass I may not have been here any
longer and we would not be having this conversation for sure. If I had
squeezed the brake handle and release it before turning the air on to
start after priming we would not be having this conversation.

point. The YAK-52 (I say again YAK-52!!) uses an internal ball lock
assembly internal to the actuators. If those are in bad shape and you
lose pressure to the landing gear ..... the gear can collapse. I've
seen it happen three times on one YA-52 before the owner finally got the
actuators repaired.

Once the landing gear comes down, you can remove all pressure from the
pneumatic system and land safely with no possibility of the gear
collapsing. In fact that is a good safety procedure for every YAK-50
owner to know, which is why I am writing this. If you can get the gear
down on a YAK-50 that has an internal air leak, you can then place the
gear handle back into the MIDDLE position, which isolates pneumatic
pressure from the landing gear system, and allows the engine air
compressor to pump back up to 50 atmos on BOTH the main and emergency
bottle. This then allows you to land with full pressure available to
the BRAKES! I flew a YAK-50 almost all the way from the east coast to
Ramona California that way (for Vladimir Yastremski). It had a bad air
leak when the gear went down, enough so that I would have had to land
with no brak!

am 100% sure of how this works. It could be considered an Emergency
Procedure.

> Moving on, I would assume that during every Conditional Inspection on
your aircraft, you swing the gear. Part of that inspection is to make
sure that the landing gear lights do not show down and locked BEFORE the
landing gear is actually DOWN AND LOCKED! I.E. You don't want to have
the gear lights indicate it is down, when it is actually NOT down. This
requires the landing gear to be lowered very slowly with a steady hand
on the master air valve, while one person watches the lights and another
person watches the external locking block snap into place.

adjusted, then any kind of airline leak ANYWHERE in the system would not
cause the gear to collapse once it indicated down and locked.

then they were never down and locked to begin with and you probably
missed the fact that both green lights were not lit, or you heard what
you thought were normal sounds and assumed the gear was down. It's an
easy mistake to make, and I personally believe I made the same mistake
myself!

coming down and locking... but if that were the case, there would be no
air left in the main and emergency bottle, because you would have blown
the gear with the emergency valve.

have two possibilities.

an air leak preventing total gear extension, in which case you should

properly.

leak at the manifold for the acutators before the gear collapsed. Would
have saved a lot of headaches!

Richard,
thank you for posting these very
informative pictures.
I guess that engine comes from
a Kamov-26?
If yes, how do they turn the motor
to prevent hydraulic lock?
cheers

I like the creative things people are using. Here is what I came up
with. A ram mount. One end is an angled piece to use a hose clamp on a
tubular structure of the plane. THe other end of the ram mount is
threaded for a camera then safety wired and a zip tie back up. I use
the HD 170 camera.
Attached is a sight picture example.
Only bad thing is if the smoke is on, the lens gets oily.
