Having operated my M-14P powered CJ up in Illinois before discovering the
Ultimate Solution to cold starts (Move to Florida). I learned that the next
best thing to moving is a Heated Hanger. Worth the money. Not only is the
whole airplane warm, but by virtue of being warm, problems like ice in hard
to see places is eliminated.
Even with a heated hanger, the airplane still needs to be winterized with
the idle richened, and idle adjusted. Install a winter cover plate for the
oil cooler air intake. seal up holes and cracks in the cylinder baffling.
Use WD-40 on things like the Carb Heat door shaft, brake cables, etc.
Slush on the runway, introduces dirt into the brakes and landing gear. Keep
clean after use. Squirt with WD-40 after cleaning.
Do not forget that MMO! Keeps the "inards" loose and Cures cancers,
arthritis, etc...

| Subject: | Yak55M gear extenders |
I just installed gear extenders on my 55M. The first thing I noticed is that pushing
the aircraft forward is very difficult and the left main wheel seems to
get toed in. After about 10 feet of travel the wheel is cocked and rolling on
the outer edge of the tire.
Upon landing I can hear the tire squeak every second or so during rollout. I assume
the tire is trying to roll toward the fuselage and reaches its limit of traction
where the strut forces it back in to position.
Has anyone else had this problem? Can it be corrected by shimming the two leading
edge bolts with washers between the legs and extenders?
Thank you,
Dan Caldwell

The RU manual calls for in summertime, pumps 5 to 6 fuel injections and in w
intertime, 8 - 12 fuel injections, through the injection pump set in the ' C
ylinders supply' position while the mechanic ' rotates the propeller."
Warning! When the engine is still cold, the propeller rotation is compulsory
; when it is warm the rotation is forbidden. 3.4.1. Page 23.
Since most of us do not have ground crew to pull blades while we prime this i
s what works for me. Clear oil collected in lower cylinders by pulling 14 t
o 16 blades.(great exercise to get blood flowing and deep breathing). Prime 5
-6 pumps on cylinder side then jump out and pull four blades stopping on a c
ompression stroke. Climb back in and start her up.

ase, I'll pre-flight in the hangar, and pull the prop through just before op
ening the door. Then move the plane out and be ready to start quickly. Sin
ce the oil AND the Cyl are actually warm then I'll just add an extra shot of
prime or two (no more than 2) and start as normal. Worked for me in Chicag
o winters and the occasionally cold DC winters. Going to be difficult if t
he Cyl temps are below 40 and then engine is cold soaked. I'd pre-heat. I
don't like adding anymore prime than that. I also don't like starting with
oil temps lower than 40 hence the pre-heat or "heat pads"
