    Subject: Main Air Tanks
    Bear/Ernie, Sorry your feelings were hurt by my attempt to be tactful. Doug is moving forward with a plan. Others, including you two, think using Scuba Tanks would be a better idea. If you are not upset because someone else would not change their plan to conform to your ideas, then move forward with your own ideas and create your own plan....... and good luck to you both. And Ernie, you are making mountains out of molehills.

    From: Justin Drafts <draftsjust417@gmail.com>
    Ladies & gents, 1. I'm looking for a procedure of checking my CJ6's emergency air bottle for gear extension. The RPA proc works well, but all too easily can slam the gear down (brutal on the trunnions). Is there a smoother technique? 2. Marvel Mystery Oil: good idea for the fuel, oil on a 285hp Housai? Or a disaster in a bottle? I've never used it, wondering if there's any value to it. Thoughts? Thanks- Justin Drafts N280NC @ KPAE

    Justin, Here's a link to a page on my web site, www.yak-52.com which provides the gear retraction test INCLUDING the emergency gear extension AND how NOT to cause the gear to slam down. Try it. I think you will be satisfied with it. http://www.yak-52.com/maintena.htm Yes, use MMO in the fuel. Use it religiously and measure the amounts based on the directions on the bottle. Use the MMO in the oil, especially if you are experiencing a sticking valve. 1 quart is what I recommend. Just helped a guy out in Georgia that had what I believed was a sticking valve based on the symptoms we discussed. I suggested to him to add 1 qt of MMO to the oil. He called me a couple of days later totally amazed at how the engine ran now. Dennis A.

    From: doug sapp <dougsappllc@gmail.com>
    I recently purchased a large inventory from a Chinese parts vendor, in it were a few 28 volt turn coordinators. They are factory new, in the factory boxes and packing, absolutely perfect. Each unit has the factory test/certification data with it. I'm told they are now factory standard in the CJ6. From China they are over $350.00 each. While they last $100.00 each. Doug

Justin, Here's a link to a page on my web site, www.yak-52.com<http://www.yak-52.com/> which provides the gear retraction test INCLUDING the emergency gear extension AND how NOT to cause the gear to slam down. Try it. I think you will be satisfied with it. http://www.yak-52.com/maintena.htm Yes, use MMO in the fuel. Use it religiously and measure the amounts based on the directions on the bottle. Use the MMO in the oil, especially if you are experiencing a sticking valve. 1 quart is what I recommend. Just helped a guy out in Georgia that had what I believed was a sticking valve based on the symptoms we discussed. I suggested to him to add 1 qt of MMO to the oil. He called me a couple of days later totally amazed at how the engine ran now. Dennis A.

    Doug; Please hold one of these for me. Thanks Walt From: doug sapp Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2015 5:14 PM Subject: Yak-List: Cleaning house I recently purchased a large inventory from a Chinese parts vendor, in it were a few 28 volt turn coordinators. They are factory new, in the factory boxes and packing, absolutely perfect. Each unit has the factory test/certification data with it. I'm told they are now factory standard in the CJ6. From China they are over $350.00 each. While they last $100.00 each. Doug

    Subject: CJ-6 prop blade query
    From: Jay McIntyre <cjaviator@gmail.com>
    Hi all, We have a standard J9-G1 prop that a previous operator has blended the face of each blade at the tips and then filled with bog. Understandably, my prop shop wants to take crop the blades to remove the severely thinned material but are unable to as the only information we have on the blades (from the PT-6 component overhaul manual states that radius of the prop shall be 1200mm. There is no allowance or mention of cropping limits. Anyone out there operating a CJ with cropped blades? Do you have any info to support cropping the blades? (We want to remove @ 19mm from each blade) Regards, Jay New Zealand
