| Subject: | Starting Problems |
Hi all
I'm having problems starting my Yak-52. Symptoms:
- I can get a normal start, but only if the air pressure is right up over 5 (ie
50). Once the prop is turning, she starts easily.
- Anywhere much below 5, no start.
- If I press the start button, no prop movement at all. Not even a twitch. Just
a soft whining sound that does not sound much like air rushing through.
- Using the little override lever at the side of the valve produces the same result,
ie no movement.
- Battery voltages are good, and we get the same behavior using a 28V external
power cart.
I suspect that the valve itself has a lot of gunk in it, and that at high pressure
the air can make it past the muck. But I'm no expert.
Does anyone have any ideas? Should I be looking to replace the solenoid?
Thanks
Mike

We often get requests for tyres and tubes for Yak and Sukhoi and I thought I
should put a post onto the yak-list to say that Watts Tyres at Lydney in
Gloucestershire, UK can supply all tyres, including the small tailwheel
tyres. Their website is www.wattsaviation.co.uk
<http://www.wattsaviation.co.uk> I emphasise that I have no connection with
them apart from as a satisfied customer!

| Subject: | Missing Man Request |
I received the following this morning from Erica Van Leuven:
"I am contacting you because I am the POA for my father. He is retired USAF
and was a pilot. He presently has Alzheimer's so as I have been taking care
of his estate, I am working to arrange for various requests he has made.
One is for a fly over of the Missing Man Formation at his funeral. He
arranged for everything else at our local Veteran's cemetery, but not that.
So I wondered if you know of any group that would do that in Idaho. If you
can point me in the right direction I would be most appreciative. I just
want to know who to contact when the time comes."
The Idaho State Veterans Cemetery in Boise is where he plans to be buried.
Anybody nearby who can assist?
Thanks,

| Subject: | The "Sax Machine" is Ready For a New Home |
Folks,
After 21 years of great time of owning and flying experiences, my Super
CJ-6A is ready and looking for a good new Home/Owner.
Built in 1972 with 4750 Total airframe hours, an M14-P Engine with 875 hours
since Factory New and with the latest GEN II, all composite Whirlwind 3
Bladed Propeller / Spinner, 77 hours SOH.
Long list of upgrades. I just put an Ad on Barnstormers website, under
Warbirds/Nanchang/CJ6/Yak categories. Spec Sheet is included in the Ad.
Also included in the Spec Sheet are a couple of youtube links for some cool
Action Videos where you can see the Sax Machine up close and 'almost
personal'.
If you are serious about getting into an upgraded, Big Engine,CJ-6A world
(or knows someone who is) and/or need more inf, just let me know.
Thanks for listening and my warmest regards to everyone on this great
Yak-List,
Sam Sax
