    Subject: YAK 52 Instruction
    From: "Rob737998" <robertjamesharper@gmail.com>
    Dear YAK 52 Owners and Operators I would be grateful of some information concerning YAK 52 Pilot Training UK/Europe or US. I would like to attend a YAK 52 Conversion and receive some aerobatic training. I have searched on the web and only found Skytrace in the UK. They have not replied to my emails are they still in business? I would need to conduct the training on the school aircraft I have not purchased one yet. I am looking to get the required training in place first. At the moment I have plans to travel to the states next year so could receive training over there. Again I would be very grateful of any information. Best Regards Robert Harper Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=433568#433568

    Subject: Re: Spins, particularly in a Yak-52
    Flat spin recovery for Yak52 requires the stick to be FULLY into the corner (FULL forward, FULL in spin aileron, and FULL opposite rudder). The problem is that even with those FULL anti-spin controls applied, the 52 will continue to spin for a further 5 or 6 turns before the recovery suddenly takes effect (and in those 5 or 6 turns the danger is that people will think the recovery action is not working and release the controls to start again). Once they take effect, swift action required to centralise the controls else you go inverted spinning the other way! Training is required.

This is a very important topic, and deserves as much discussion as possible. My Yak55m doesn't appear to auto rotate and will stop any type of spin with opposite rudder and central/forward stick. In my limited time in Yak52's I have avoided flat spins due to various reports I have read. Aft CofG is not the 52's friend. My understanding of FLAT spin recovery is.... "Into spin aileron" acts as a secondary rudder, by "more stalling the least stalled wing" & "less stalling the most stalled wing" hense reducing the yaw rate by altering the drag on the wings. The down going aileron also goes into high pressure where as the upgoing aileron goes into low pressure, the result is also reduced yaw rate. Anyone want to expand on those concepts. Understanding what is happening is a good place to start for us all :-) Cheers Steve. -------- SteveO Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=433563#433563

    Rob, I'd go for Genna(Skytrace). He is still in business but in his spare time. I have had numorous flights/events with him and he is really "Mister Yak52". Done flat spin training with him as well and have to say it's a bit scary the first time but after 25 spins it's fun.... Good luck and fly safe!

    Subject: Re: Very slow air leak...how to find it
    I understand that Doc. However, the western made check valves and pressure relief valves are of a much higher quality make no mistake. Having the Coy's rebuild your valves is also cheaper than purchasing them from Doug, and they do a darn fine job. That said, all of the ones I am talking about are stainless steel, corrosion proof and will outlast most everything out there. Just commenting that you have to pay a lot to get that kind of quality it seems. The other PITA issue is building adapters to go to the original air lines. Size is also an issue. As I mentioned, I was very surprised to see different sizes of check valves (also with different thread sizes) used in two different 50's. The 1974 had a small set, the 1985 had a larger set, and neither was the same as what was used on the 52 which had an ever bigger size!

    Subject: Removing Gills
    What is a rigging problem? The gills jamming shut? Yes, you're right, it sure can be. That and a whole list of other things can also cause them to jam, in ANY position. -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Roger Kemp Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 9:40 PM Subject: Re: Yak-List: Removing Gills That is a rigging problem. Measure the length of threads showing on the threaded rod swageged onto the control cable that connects to the lever that opens and closes the louvers. There is a jam nut at the base of the bullet shaped connector threaded onto the end of the control cable. Measure the length of threads from the jam nut to the none threaded length of the shaft. Coming out at a right angle is shaft with a ball at one end that fits in that bullet allowing it to articulate with the control cable. The other end of the shaft has a molded ~5 mm nut on it that flows into a threaded shaft that is screwed into that lever I referred to that is in the 0530 position that opens and closes the vanes on their access in the ring. Now saying all of that, as I learned the hard way, you do not have to loosen the bullet on the control cable. Just loosen that threaded on shaft from the louver lever. If memory serves there is also a 5 mm nut on the bolt that threads through the louver lever.

Look at shaft of you oil tube. You will see a nut at the base of the polished tip that pushes oil into and out of the piston in the prop hub.

    Flat spin is just fun as long as you Get good training. Mishandling a Hammerhead could put you in a flat spin. Recovery no problem as long as you do what you should and wait:-) And offcourse have the height needed. We train it from 6000 feet and make the entry from Hammerhead, spin to 5000 feet and recovery hopefully before 4000 feet. Mishandle the recovery and you find yourself in an inverted spin. No problem as long as you aware that you are inverted, look out and you see. Get some good training and keep safe altitude save your but!!

    I just want for everyone to be really clear on this. Some of us are old timers on this list but there are many new to the list, warbird and aerobatic flying, etc. First, NEVER do anything in an airplane without receiving instruction from a well qualified instructor. Not all instructors are created equal. Particularly when it comes to spins, make sure your IP is very experienced. As Richard mentions in my original post, the -52 requires specific and very unorthodox techniques. Remember the doctor who graduates at the bottom of his class is still called... "doctor." Second, when we talk about "forward stick" this, if done wrong or held too long, is also a recipe for a spin transition from upright to inverted. There are several stories that don't end well when this happens. Everyone would do well to at least see what that looks like with a well qualified instructor. It is only fun if you are a sicko like me, but to be able to identify what is going on and how to recover are paramount (see link to article below). Third, as most of you have deduced by now the -52 has VERY different recovery techniques from standard PARE (or NASA standard) techniques. That being said, the plane is totally reliable when proper techniques are used. The -50 is very different from the -52 (much more "normal" spin characteristics). Fourth, spins come in all colors. Upright, inverted, accelerated, flat, cross-over, etc. They all feel and look different. Wrong control inputs, out of sequence, or bad timing can result in one becoming another. Fifth, see my "First" comment. ;) Here is a short article on spins from AOPA that is a quick and interesting read. I also have trained with Bill Finigan and found his technique for "out of control' (i.e. the pilot does not know what the plane is doing or his attempts to fix it are not working) to be stone cold simple and reliable. http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2010/June/3/Spin-myths Fly safely!

I think your comment is exactly the point we are trying to make. Before you are a beginning aerobatic pilot, you need to be well versed in spins. Any aerobatic instructor/school worth your time will REQUIRE you to go through spin training before you attempt any aerobatics. Self taught or "I read that in a book" approaches are foolhardy unless you have first mastered all spin recoveries. As for what situations can get you into a spin, virtually any maneuver that introduces slow speed and requires rudder input to keep the ball in the center (yes, that's a pretty broad category of maneuvers) could potentially put you into a spin. We have lost people in our community on spins in the pattern! It happens, gang. Any maneuver that takes you into the vertical (loop, Cuban, hammerhead, Immelmann, Split S, etc.) is particularly vulnerable to a spin. Whether it is upright or inverted depends on several factors. Which factors are a really good idea to become very familiar with before attempting these maneuvers. Or, you can take the "what could possibly go wrong approach" and realize the answer to that question as you are hopelessly caught in a spin as the ground rushes at you at over 5000 fpm.

    Good points Barry, Offcourse everybody new with all kind of planes or different kind of flying should Get qualified training. I also recomand all that flying the Yak 52 to Get qualified training. Take this plane into aerobatic flying and Flatspin it without training by an qualified instructor most likely put you on a sad statistic. On the other hand, dont be affraid for it and Get scared of all reports out there, just use them as they are ment to. Recomandation to Get good training before you hit the tire and light the fire for a solo flight. The Yak 52 is a dam good and safe plane, if its handled correct as every plane should be.

    Subject: Re: Spins, particularly in a Yak-52
    Well written, Barry. Years ago when I was considering buying a Yak 52, I had the good fortune to spend three days with Gennady Elfimov in Bobbington, UK. It seemed for all but about an hour we spun his Yak 52 over, over and over again. And those were just normal and flat spins. We never got to flat inverted spins. Only when he was convinced that I could recover from a spin, he let me run around the "circuit." He's tough guy. I'm also convinced that every prospective Yak 52 owner should find a Gennady or Sergey Boriak (sp?). Where are they both living, now? Anybody know? Blitz Fox P.S. Dave King and Hal Morley brow beat me into buying a CJ - a plane that can be forced into a spin. :0) > On Nov 13, 2014, at 7:44 AM, barryhancock <bhancock@worldwidewarbirds.com> wrote: > > > I just want for everyone to be really clear on this.

    You are correct. There are a whole list of reasons why the the louvers will not fully open or close after re instillation. Assuming all of the vanes have that slotted screw through them at the inner ring they will move correctly. Assuming you did not screw with the three roller bearings on the inner ring ( the same inner ring that those slotted safety wired vane screws are screwed into) the ring will move freely. Assuming those roller bearing are not rusted and pitted the ring will move freely otherwise. Next comes making sure you do not warp the outer ring when you re-install the braces on the cylinder studs. Then it comes to cowling rigging. If the cowling does not seat down on the outer ring freely that can cause the them to bind also. That adjustment is made via the top canopy mounting rods. Now have them slam shut? Either there was a failure to reconnect them at the Louver lever on the inner ring. Mechanical failure of the cable ( swageged studs, cockpit lever or louver attachment points) granted you could have missed every slot on the lever slot on the vanes when you put the slotted screws back in but an intelligent person should catch that one. Now in the 52 shutters slamming shut probably was because the carbon unit on the cockpit end of the shutter control lever failed to set the tension control allowing it to drift closed. Same for the 50. Only there it is a knurled knob on the side of the console that controls the tension on the levers ( cowl levers and the oil cooler door). In either of those cases, it was pilot disconnect that allowed the shutters to close and has nothing to do with "rigging").

    Subject: Removing Gills
    Doc, I used the word "rigging" .... which apparently means sometime different to me than it does to you. In any case, it is NBD... No Big Deal. Several M-14P engines that I know of have been ruined by being over-temped with shutters that were stuck closed. Several. That was the point I was trying to make, not how to adjust the vanes, take them in or out, whatever. There is proven potential to ruin your engine if those vanes manage to get closed, and fail "in such a fashion" that they cannot be opened again. It's happened several times that I know of, and will probably happen again.

    Subject: Wing Bolt replacement Yak 55/ 52
    It is standard practice on both these Yaks, when there is wear in the wing mounting bolts/fittings to very slightly ream out the fitting and install larger bolts. We can supply such bolts, made to any size, from the correct and heat-treated material, importantly with an EASA "form one" which is the highest qualification in Europe for aviation components. Please contact me off list.

I'm looking to ream out and replace the wing attachment bolts on my Yak55m with some oversized bolts +0.5mm. I must be a bit hard on the old dear as she's developed a bit of play on both sides. The NZ CAA requires the usual screeds of paperwork. Anyone know of any oversize bolts that come with paperwork. Or any design work thats been documented. Has anyone got any info on Yak52's having larger bolts installed?

    All, Great topic. Can we come up with a list of "Yak 52 spin and acro" instructors by region and country? I'm looking for one in southeastern USA. I'm in the Atlanta area.

    Subject: Wing Bolt replacement Yak 55/ 52
    Hi Richard Exactly the problem with my Yak 55M The bolts remain circular but the wing and fuselage mounts are slightly oval requiring reaming to slightly over size. So two questions for you: - how to ream? - once reamed and the O/S bolt diameter determined, what's the delivery on the O/S diameter bolts?

We can supply such bolts, made to any size, from the correct and heat-treated material, importantly with an EASA "form one" which is the highest qualification in Europe for aviation components.

I'm looking to ream out and replace the wing attachment bolts on my Yak55m with some oversized bolts +0.5mm. I must be a bit hard on the old dear as she's developed a bit of play on both sides. The NZ CAA requires the usual screeds of paperwork. Anyone know of any oversize bolts that come with paperwork. Or any design work thats been documented. Has anyone got any info on Yak52's having larger bolts installed?
