Im getting used to flying the machine and need to look at optimizing energy. There are some basic speeds and G loading which I would like to hear people opinions on, I will list them below What the optimal G loading for pitching to the vertical from horizontal flight? What speeds are best for initiating the following maneuvers when in the vertical line. Humpty Sharks tooth Stall turn Cap off In horizontal optimal Snap speed. Thanks Martin Sent from my iPad ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:01:01 PM PST US Subject: Yak-List: Yak 55 aerobatics From: MartinS@contracon.co.za Good day all, I recently bought a 55 long wing, 360 hp with a 2 blade pop and would like to advise and tips from pilots who know the machine well.

Several of us Yak 55 drivers up here in the NW US and BC in Canada would love to help a new Yak 55 owner. It's an awesome machine. I've had mine 10 plus years now. > On Nov 4, 2015, at 7:04 PM, "MartinS@contracon.co.za" wrote: > > > > > Good day all, I recently bought a 55 long wing, 360 hp with a 2 blade pop and would like to advise and tips from pilots who know the machine well. > Im getting used to flying the machine and need to look at optimizing energy. > There are some basic speeds and G loading which I would like to hear people opinions on, I will list them below > > What the optimal G loading for pitching to the vertical from horizontal flight? > What speeds are best for initiating the following maneuvers when in the vertical line. > Humpty > Sharks tooth > Stall turn > Cap off > > In horizontal optimal Snap speed. > > > Thanks > Martin > > Sent from my iPad > > > > ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 08:36:45 PM PST US Subject: Yak-List: Re: Yak 55M vs Yak 55 From: "Epistaxis" Jay, The best systems change on the M was to change from rigid alum. fuel lines thru the fuselage to flexible lines, less chance of cracking. I`ve owned my 55 for 18 years. Having flown the M as well, I`m prejudiced toward the 55. Also be advised that the M went out of production in 1993, There are many "New 55Ms" being advertised, built from 1994 and newer. Some of these A/C have Issues with the wing attach bolts not fitting properly and egging out the spar attach holes over time. For lack of a better term they were bits and pieces thrown together. Also there was a fellow here in Nebraska who was modifying the seat back to recline more than factory. He used hardware store bolts and hinges to do this on several A/C, some of them collapsing during maneuvers, Hopefully these have been repaired but it is something to watch out for. Hope this helps a bit more for your quest...
