    My count of the registry is 194. The numbers varies with sales back and forth across the Canadian registry and attrition, but pretty stable for a few years now.

    Motorstar has manufactured higher compression pistons for the HS6a and the AI14 engines. The limitations are that users must use 100LL and due to the construction of the basic engine can only safely bump up the compression from 5.9 to 6.3. George Coy MotorstarNA 714 Airport Rd.

    Just measured the pins, ours are the same on both tachs. Dumb question, did you have the alignment slot lined up on the cannon plug? Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=491624#491624

    They definitely had some CJ's! I went to Albania in 1991 (or 92) for the express purpose of buying their surplus YAK 11's. This based on info exchanged in a 3 way, 2 language phone call via their UN rep. in New York. On arrival in Tirana I was advised they had moved one of the YAK's to a small airfield in the city for my inspection. They picked me up (with a small motorcade) in the morning. On arrival at the airfield they proudly opened the hangar door to reveal a CJ6 YAK! After the shock wore off I asked how much they wanted for the "YAK's". They were prepared to give them away at $72,000 USD each which, at the time, was likely more than they paid for them. Turned out the 4 Yak 11's were destroyed years before when a hangar collapsed on them. Looking at the hangar we were standing in at the time pretty much confirmed that story. C'est le vie!

    Hi George; The HS6a (285 HP) stock piston gives a compression ratio of 6.2 +/- 0.1. The HS6 and AI14R (260 HP) engines are 5.9 +/- 0.1 Walt -----Original Message----- From: George Coy Sent: Friday, October 04, 2019 6:07 AM Subject: RE: Yak-List: Replacement piston sets - Barrett?
