    Regarding opening the throtle, I used to do the same until my russian expert (Andrei Gluckhov) see me doing this and raised his eyes to the sky telling me that it was dangerous to do so because the fuel would rinse the oil from the cylinder and it could make more harm than good!!

    Subject: Re: Reverse Rotation On Shutdown
    From: Jan Mevis <jan.mevis@informavia.be>
    Are you sure about that? I switch off at 40 % and immediately full throttle so that there are still some revolutions with cooler fuel/air mixture sucked in. The prop and engine then have enough inertia left to turn a few revolutions in the correct direction so it will actually diminish the risk of "dieseling". But I'm not a specialist at all. My method works fine for me, since years.

    From: "Bitterlich, Mark G CIV NAVAIR, WD" <mark.bitterlich@navy.mil>
    Subject: Reverse Rotation On Shutdown
    Excuse me, but I totally disagree to the point of saying his comment was ridiculous Didier. 1. There is normally no oil in the combustion chamber. Fuel is fed into the combustion chamber ignited and burned at high temperature. When the engine is shut down by ignition it will continue to suck in fuel whether the throttle is open or closed. The tiny amount of fuel that is fed in as the engine rotates to a stop after ignition is killed at approx. 20% is extremely small. 2. The whole idea of piston rings is to seal the combustion chamber. On the Russian pistons, there is actually a 4th ring at the bottom referred to as an "oil scraper ring". The purpose of that ring is to REMOVE any oil that might remain on the cylinder wall as the piston moves up and down. Some of the remaining rings are doing the same thing. 3. This kind of urban legend usually comes from some sort of "truth". In this case, the "truth" or reality if you will... is when you run an engine with an EXTREMELY rich mixture which results in large amounts of unburnt fuel remaining in the cylinder after combustion. This fuel will tend to saturate the piston rings and prevent proper contact which will then cause the rings to "lose their seal". This is referred to as "Washing Out The Rings". Again, this only happens when the engine is running with an extremely rich mixture and NOT when it is shut down by removing ignition and coming to a stop from idle. There is nothing magic about the M-14P. It uses the same physics to operate as any other engine. Andrei is incorrect about this, and while I am sure he will disagree, you might ask him for a reference. The actual Russian operating procedures from the manufacturer call for this procedure, and while I agree that NOT doing it is really not the end of the world.... doing it will NOT damage the cylinders or rings. Above and beyond the written procedures, 850 hours on my M-14P with original pistons and rings and compression ratios all in the 70's kind of proves it. Mark said that "rolling his eyes to the sky". Yes, I know that Russian facial expression very well. :-) -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Didier Blouzard Sent: Friday, September 12, 2014 8:53 AM Subject: Re: Yak-List: Reverse Rotation On Shutdown Regarding opening the throtle, I used to do the same until my russian expert (Andrei Gluckhov) see me doing this and raised his eyes to the sky telling me that it was dangerous to do so because the fuel would rinse the oil from the cylinder and it could make more harm than good!!

    Subject: Reverse Rotation Denied!
    I'll be the first to bite at this apple. As an old LSO, the key to consistent landings is a stabilized, trimmed up approach. I would suggest lowering your flaps and trimming the aircraft for your approach speed before you begin your turn off the perch. It may require a LITTLE tighter pattern or a LITTLE shorter final because of the additional drag of the flaps. But I strongly recommend a pattern that doesn't exceed 25-27 degrees angle of bank and a wings level final not less than eight to ten seconds. The turn of less than 30 AOB allows for a little margin for overshooting crosswinds without wrapping it up too tight and the 8-10 second wings level final gives you a little cushion to handle an overshoot and still safely work back to centerline and be stabilized before you begin your flare. Turns off the perch requiring up to 45 degrees AOB require excess airspeed to handle the slight load factor and you end up having to fix a higher than desired airspeed on final. Again not stabilized and may result in issues eating up you interval in a formation recovery or the urge to get it on the deck sooner than desired. I know there are those out there that want to be very tight in the pattern due to the POSSIBLITY of an engine failure. At my home field at 3,320' with a 3,000' runway that I normally land on, unless the engine quits abeam the intended point of landing I'm not going to be in a position to land on the remaining runway. It's a different story for those of you with much longer runways. I'm not advocating a pattern that would look comfortable to a 747 captain. But, I know of two RPA aircraft that have gone down in the pattern due to wrapped up turns to final, but am not aware of any who have perished from losing an engine in the pattern, so I'm a strong advocate of a NOTSO tight pattern particularly in multi ship formations with overshooting crosswinds where everyone rolls out downwind with their interval on their nose and by the time Dash 4 is at the perch, he's not abeam the intended point of landing, he's NEARLY OVER the intended point landing. We have vastly differing levels of experience in our RPA community and the desire to hack it by some FNG's has likely made for some exciting landings and probably a few lost comrades. Every time I go the southern route to our cabin in Colorado I pass the airport at Walsenburg, CO and am saddened by the memory of the father and son that perished there several years ago in their new Nanchang on the way to OSH flying what was, for the density altitude and/or winds that day, too tight of a pattern. So, maybe when we start losing more aircraft in the pattern from engine failures than from wrapped up approach turn stalls I'll be more inclined to advocate the very tight pattern, until then I'll stand by a 25-27 degree AOB, trimmed up, stabilized turn that yields consistent and safe results. Sorry to diverge beyond landings themselves, but the pattern is where it all begins. As not just an old LSO, but also a Naval Aviator, I can take it just as well as I can dish it out. Hit me with your best shot! Mark Davis N44YK Former Garuda and Guntrain Paddles P.S. Before I completed this I saw Richard Hess's comments on airspeeds. They're the same I use.

    Mark=2C Hit you w/ my best shot? On the contrary: I'd salute you if my civilian sal ute carried any weight. 1st of all - and most importantly - THANK YOU for your service to your coun try. What I wouldn't give to hear some of the amazing stories you could eas ily spill for hours. Also=2C it's very humbling to me as I try to find my w ay amongst those whom have such a rich aviation background. You guys are th e reason I READ much more than I could ever contribute - and why I LEARN mu ch more than I may ever be able to teach. 2nd - THANK YOU for this wealth of info. I need to read this a dozen more t imes to truly digest it=2C but suffice to say - when I was still just a "lu rker" in search of a Yak=2C I had the perils of "coffin corner" burnt into my brain. I do not lie when I say it resonates within me every time I turn base-to-final now. Love the idea of a "stabilized=2C trimmed approach." Mak es much sense that if you want a good landing=2C that process should not be complicated by wrestling w/ the airplane to achieve runway center=2C longi tudinal correction=2C etc. I think that point hit home the most - as I know I am guilty of complacency - often trying to find "the pocket" during flai r rather than approach. To me=2C THIS is both the beauty and purpose of "The List." I can't speak f or everyone=2C but these convo's really are valuable to me. Not only do the y provide great discussion based around a common passion and "a-HA" moments =2C they also may confirm GOOD practices=2C as well as inspire ME to 1) fly =2C and 2) fly BETTER. Sadly=2C there are times these pages turn into a (po litically correct) "Urinating Contest." There are valuable lessons to be le arned here - ones that may be missed if one is too intimidated to ask. So f rom the official "weak link" in your midst=2C I thank you guys for your pat ience and wisdom. I have no business being in the Yak business. Therefore y ou can bet I'm going to go for broke as I attempt to earn my keep. Now I can't wait to fly...but the 400' ceiling is laughing at me...

    Subject: Re: Reverse Rotation Denied!Now Landings.
    Rico, I can ditto much of what Mark points out and only add that where you are looking during the landing can have BIG effects on when you flare the airplane. Looking to far down the runway or to close to the airplane will not give you the best depth perception for height. You should move you visio n in too and away from the airplane constantly. Looking further down the runway will give you pitch, roll, and yaw cues but height judgement suffe rs. Looking to close to the airplane, you may get height awareness better but the other parameter lose perception. Keep your vision moving. Like Mark I have my airplane configured (gear & flaps down) at the perch. My power is about 12-1500 rpm IAS about 85kts. Bank angle is hardly ever over 30 degrees. Trimmed.

On the contrary: I'd salute you if my civilian salute carried any weight. 1st of all - and most importantly - THANK YOU for your service to your country. What I wouldn't give to hear some of the amazing stories you coul d easily spill for hours. Also, it's very humbling to me as I try to find my way amongst those whom have such a rich aviation background. You guys are the reason I READ much more than I could ever contribute - and why I LEARN muc h more than I may ever be able to teach. 2nd - THANK YOU for this wealth of info. I need to read this a dozen more times to truly digest it, but suffice to say - when I was still just a "lurker" in search of a Yak, I had the perils of "coffin corner" burnt int o my brain. I do not lie when I say it resonates within me every time I turn base-to-final now. Love the idea of a "stabilized, trimmed approach." Make s much sense that if you want a good landing, that process should not be complicated by wrestling w/ the airplane to achieve runway center, longit udinal correction, etc. I think that point hit home the most - as I know I am guilty of complacency - often trying to find "the pocket" during flair ra ther than approach. To me, THIS is both the beauty and purpose of "The List." I can't speak for everyone, but these convo's really are valuable to me. Not only do the y provide great discussion based around a common passion and "a-HA" moments, they also may confirm GOOD practices, as well as inspire ME to 1) fly, and 2) fly BETTER. Sadly, there are times these pages turn into a (politically correct) "Urinating Contest." There are valuable lessons to be learned her e - ones that may be missed if one is too intimidated to ask. So from the official "weak link" in your midst, I thank you guys for your patience an d wisdom. I have no business being in the Yak business. Therefore you can bet I'm going to go for broke as I attempt to earn my keep. Now I can't wait to fly...but the 400' ceiling is laughing at me...

    200 k downwind 70 to 75% leave prop alone rest of landing. 170 k base flaps down trim for hands off 150 k final trim again hands off flight Hold 150 k use power to hold touchdown point in windshield all Start flair by rounding out and slowly reduce power Perfect smooth greaser landing every time. Need a go round grab a handful of handles and push them forward Yak has the power and will go.

    Subject: Yak 50 Cowl pins
    I am looking for the rear cowl pins for a Yak 50. Will buy 2 sets if they are available. They are pins that insert at the back of the cowl to secure it; guessing for tail slides, etc. They set I have seen seem to be a simple pin with an over-center lock. Also looking for the following: - Rear FOD barrier Yak 50 - Top Cowl =9Cresting pins=9D. They are pins that stick up that you can rest the front cowl on when open. I may also interested in additional Yak 50 parts available. Feel free to send on whatever you may have. Thanks!
