| Subject: | Wingtip Strobes Question |
My right wingtip strobe light has failed. The left works fine and the right
has that "burned out" appearance with black shading inside. See attached.
I bought a new Whelen brand strobe thinking it would be a direct replacemen
t... I was wrong. The base of the Whelen is not pliable and is too large to
fit inside the glass globe. The old light has a very pliable silicone base
and doesn't have the loop in the glass like the whelen light. My airplane
was imported by Yakkity Yaks in 1995 and I'm presuming they used similar if
not exact same parts on most of their imports. So here's the question, doe
s anyone have a clue as to the brand name of these tip strobes? =C2-Also
any suggestions on repair or replacement are welcome.
Thanks in advance Red Stars.

Good afternoon all,
Would anyone have a .pdf of the engine manuals, in English, for this engine?
We have an a FAA type who'd like to see them before issuing an
airworthiness certificate.
Thanks and best regards,

Hi Looigi;
Thanks for the photos. Proves, again, that one should never make
assumptions in this business. The Yak 52 system is quite different than the
CJ and likely much more modern.

Hi Guys,
Getting rid of the deviation is easy if the whole card needs to be adjusted,
like Walt says, just turn the flux valve to suit.
Does anyone know how to adjust the KM-8 Correction Mechanism that hides
behind the back seat on the yak-52? It looks like this.....
https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=135933&d=1457048380
I am guessing that by looking at it the adjusting know makes the same
correction as turning the flux valve does, but has anyone else played with
it?
Cheers
Chris

Fitted one of these. Reasonably straight forward. Operated flawlessly for 2 years.
Recently one thermocouple went Kaput .... waiting on a spare.

I installed the CHT system, Jon. It's made by a Canadian outfit, the name
of which I can't remember at the moment. I can get it for you when next in
my hangar. They had some difficulty getting it through US customs, but
after some delay the system arrived. Truth be told I'm not wild about it. A
couple of the leads which affix below the spark plugs have failed. Also, I
question the accuracy. Seems to read a bit low when compared to the
remaining Chinese sensor in the backseat.

| Subject: | Re: Gyro compass adjustment |
Yes, I have had experience swinging old compass systems that used a Flux "Valve",
or Flux Gate Transmitter, or whatever you want to call them. We did it by
first checking the actual valve externally, then doing a visual site transfer
(surveying scopes) into the airplane and then compensating for single and two
cycle errors. Each system is unique to some degree and sometimes some pretty
elaborate equipment was used.
That said, the OLD way still works, and that is putting the airplane on a rose
and simply adjusting the compensating magnets while moving the aircraft around
the rose to align it with the cardinal points. Moving a flux valve in an airplane
... as in simply moving it directionally to "adjust for deviation" changes
the compensation of the valve. Meaning you will get it to read properly in
one direction only.
I do not know the system in the 52 at all. But if it uses a REMOTE flux valve,
then I would never move that valve in the mount to do a darn thing. Instead
I would find the compensation adjustment points and adjust those instead, pretty
much like you would any other compass. If you move the valve AT ALL, then
you must re-compensate it, because it the airplanes single and dual cycle errors,
induced by electrical fields and also fields around steel parts, etc.,etc.,
will change.
An interesting tid bit. I have seen compass roses at small airports all over the
place. They are probably inaccurate. We re-do the rose every 2 years. A
compass rose that was painted back in the day is no longer accurate. In 40 years,
the one here has shifted over two degrees, but that being said, it all depends
on how accurate you need to get. We had to be better than +/- one degree
for the flux valve systems. More than that for just a simple ole panel mount
job like you normally see in general aviation aircraft.
So, again ... not knowing the 52, I am worried that it mightt be the "hard kind"
and I would not turn anything until I found a manual, or an expert. It could
be dead easy. It also could be one that you turn the flux valve and it never
works correctly again. :-(
Mark

Hi Mark;
Damned if I know; That is way beyond my pay grade but I'm sure you could
help.
Yes; looking for the flux gate; transmitter; or whatever it may be called.
But in my 1965 CJ it is still a magnetic compass (though a very large one),
with a card and a viewing window to facilitate calibration. Entirely
possible I have made a grave error by assuming the Yak 52 uses the same
unit, a mistake I make too often.
The calibrated North/South line is usually included in the compass rose
which is found somewhere on most airport tarmacs. Can't say I have ever
seen one without that line, but then--------.
Don't know about "art form" but often the compass swing can be one hell of a
lot of work and, in Canada, is a requirement for every Annual Inspection and
Certification that I do.
Cheers;
Walt

Interesting Walt.
Are you trying to remove single or two cycle error?
Mark Bitterlich.
p.s. Swinging a compass is an art form. "First thing is to find the
compass". I think you might be talking about a flux valve. I have not
worked on this system in a YAK-52 and if it is what I think you are talking
about, I have no desire to, but I would like to know the facts regarding
this particular system. Can you educate me please? For what it is worth,
my input is that first you have to find a calibrated north south line.
Good luck with that.

The gyrosyn compass is a gyro stabilized magnetic compass and is not tied to
the ADF. First thing is find the compass. Most likely in the aft
fuselage - remote from
electrical interference as much as possible.
It has a corrector unit like the standby compass and is swung in the same
manner but has an additional feature. Once the standard swing is complete
calculate the average algebraic sum of the corrections (+ or -), unlock and
rotate the entire compass in the correct direction to remove that error.

Subject: Yak-List: Gyro compass adjustment
Hi All,
We have just imported a Yak-52 into New Zealand from Italy. He is almost
ready for flight, but one job that remains is to do a compass swing.
Our plane has had the ADF system removed. I am not sure if that affects
things; I know the systems are sort of tied together.
The direct reading compasses are easy, but does anyone have any data on how
to adjust the gyro compass? I have flicked the switch on the control panel
to "South" and set the lattitude, but I am thinking I will need to fiddle
with it to sort the deviation.
Many thanks
Chris
