Wow sounds like some changes have been made to the basic model. I thought
about going out and seeing what a 1996 looks like, but I didn't think they
would have made any changes.

Subject: Yak-List: CJ Questions
My latest Red Star aircraft is on it's way from Vancouver BC by way of a
less than friendly customs. Customs was asking for 30% duty but finally
relented and let my friend and aircraft continue south. This particular CJ
is a 1996 model.
I would like to know what mod was done to replace the nosewheel and why?
This aircraft has an intake scoop on the right cowl side, I have never seen
this. What is it for?
Lastly, it has all the Chinese radios and from what my friend told me, the
ADF is digital. Anyone ever see one of those? Is the comm radio usable?
I am very curious to see this aircraft with my own eyes, it sounds like a
nice plane.

I have been curious about the new intake on the cowling for some time. I suspect
it is associated with a cabin heat system. Please report what you find and upload
some pictures if able.

I have a 1976 CJ that also has an intake vent on the right side of the
engine lower cowling. It also has a tube running between the fire walls on
the lower right side. With a hole in both fire walls. I also would like to
know what these are for. I have owned 6 CJ's and none of the first 5 had
this on them.

I know. It is downright scary just how fast we are moving toward single-source
nav based on something as easily jammed as GPS. It is good to see the LORAN-C
signals reappearing for testing and new modulation being tested on WWVB. It may
mean that someone has gotten religion and we may have a good, multi-source,
jam-resistant, area-navigation system on the horizon. The Europeans had the right
idea when they proposed to use LORAN-C as the WAAS distribution and backup
for Galileo, their version of GPS. Too bad it never materialized.
About 10 years back I was at Tailhook and was able to actually hold a Soviet GPS
jammer, one of the ones that were being sold on the black market for about $4000(us).
It was about the size of a 3x5 card file box as I recall. I have this
life-sized picture of some ass-hat taking one to the top of Mt. Wilson overlooking
the LA basin on some dark and stormy night after the FAA shuts down all
the VORTACs and taking out all the GPS nav. Won't everyone be surprised then!
And speaking of GPS jamming, I have had GPS just go away while feet-wet over the
Atlantic. Both my panel mount and my handheld GPS's were saying, "Satellites?
What satellites!" I was left with two choices: DR and ADF. Fortunately there
was a high-power NDB at my fuel stop (Great Inagua) that I was able to track
outbound after my fuel stop. 45 minutes into my outbound leg both receivers miraculously
came back on-line at the same time. Jamming? Selective availability?
Dunno. But it was both annoying and sobering. People think my insistance on
having a good ADF in the airplane is silly but I still find it quite useful once
I leave the borders of the lower 48.
And people are starting to throw away perfectly good KR-87s. I just picked up an
extra for $100!

No private should allowed to buy gos jammer. I once heard that a New Jersey driver
who installed a gps jammer in his car affect the aviation system in his town.
That is dangerous.

I guessed the same, cabin heat. I believe my last CJ had it also, Keith McKinley
now flies it, maybe he has an answer. It also had the holes in the bulkheads.
I will take pictures when able.
