    At one point, Bill Blackwell was selling a 2.5=9D red-colored aluminu m =9Cwheel=9D with =9CGEAR=9D engraved on the front , machined to fit CJ=99s =93 clearly different than the flap ba ll/knob in color, size, material and shape. Not sure if it fits the Yaks.

Breaking the normal routine or being distracted can bite us . nother twist is that during times of distraction or multi-tasking you may nadvertently operate a an identical looking or feeling control not even ealizing you've done it. This is slightly off the subject of forgetting he gear, but may prevent someone from inadvertently raising the gear on the round. Although in different cockpit locations, the operation and ppearance of the flap and gear controls on the YAK 52 is similar enough hat I have modified mine so that the gear handle has a black wheel painted o look like a wheel, and my flap control has a blue airfoil like a flap as he handle. Visually they look completely different and tactilely they feel ifferent. I don't want my brain to subconsciously link the two. You'd hink it can't happen, but it can. Your brain can be a dangerous thing. I sed hard wood to shape the new control knobs, drilled them and mounted them ust like the or! ginals. Before gear and flap controls were redesigned to look like wheels nd flaps a number of airliners suffered gear retractions when a flight rew member raised the gear thinking they were retracting the flaps. I once xtended the Flaps on my YAK while thinking GEAR. I was distracted but uckily got it sorted out when I reached down to extend the FLAPS and found hem already extended. Brain Fart! I realized the two controls being nearly dentical could cause big problems for me and decided then to make the hanges. Brain Farts are gonna happen, and as I get older more often, so we ry hard to control them with good training, SOPs, good design, and hecklists. Modifying the two knobs is an easy thing to do and it may rotect you from a publicly demonstrated brain fart. Good Luck. Blue side p.

    Subject: Another Yak-52 'gear up' accident in Belgium ... 18 May
    2014 My opinion only.. But plenty of standard airplanes land gear up, or pull the gear up on the ground with those different knobs. While they may help. Sometimes we just make mistakes.

    Wheel "shmeel", ball, knob whatever. Not gonna save your ass, even close. Hell, I flew a plane that had a button for gear up and one for gear down. Look, it can happen to anyone, I'm sorry it happened to this guy and I'm sorry it happened to that guy (on video) who had an absolute cherry CJ with and M-14 and big prop....but hey, at least he got the flaps down..... I can say without a doubt I have whipped into the break (CJ and Miltary) and did a tight 180 to land and after landing thought I'm not sure if I ever checked the gear. Maybe I did subconsciously, maybe not. In any case, thank God for muscle memory and First Officers....... -------- Keith McKinley 700HS X26 Sebastian, FL Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=423610#423610

    Nobody said it would. But some pretty smart people seem to think it helps. You're right, probably would not help you one bit.
