About a year ago I did an article for WB mag. Finally got published in Marc h issue. It "re-introduces" the CJ-6. The reader will be treated to a Ron M alec photo of a formation lead by Jon Blake (you owe me one). Chris Dilley took some of the others that were submitted but it's up to the editors what goes in. This was part of an on-going effort to publicize these fine aircraft to the market. BTW, my current CJ is up on Barnstormers for sale. Beat them bushe s and see any buyers shake out, I say. Pappy, this one's for you bud.

In France there is no agreement to work on it , All EU CJ6 are under UK registration (5). If UK CAA have an example , outside US FAA for experimental , that could clearly help. best regards Bruno -------- Fly safe Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=466924#466924 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:35:09 AM PST US From: doug sapp Subject: Re: Yak-List: one brake better than another Jon, Dennis is correct, the problem is most likely grease on the drums ie bad wheel seals. I normally change my wheel seals at every conditional as I have the wheels off anyway repacking the bearings. Seals are in stock if you need them. FYI (not in the manuals) a new brake drum measures 7.675 ID to my knowledge no one has ever come up with a max wear measurement. But the min pad measurement (thickness) is listed in the Type 6 Primary Trainer Maint Manual. At this time only the parts manuals are on the web site, in the future I plan to add the maint manuals as well. Doug On Sun, Mar 5, 2017 at 3:01 PM, A.
