Jeff,

We could hear the rear gear valve leaking with an ultrasonic detector. I will check actuators to be certain.

Thanks

My rear selector is leaking, how do I modify for front cockpit usage only?

Thanks Jon

Will the M14P bracket interchange with the Housai/CJ6?

The prop governor bracket is missing on my project CJ6. Does anyone have a bracket I could purchase?

Phil

Thanks!!

I bought a light project CJ recently that had the air system gone thru, check and diverter valves and found the past owner is not mechanical. There are leaks I am chasing down, one had me lost. The ...

I recognize my old CJ!

The scoop was for heat muff supply.

To lift the CJ we used straps attached to plates which were made to match the wing spar holes top and bottom and fore and aft. We used a rented small crane to lift the plane. In the past we used a 200 ...

A friend kindly purchased this engine which was advertised as an M14P, for me at auction.

It is 260HP and was installed on a Yak 18A and was removed for an upgrade to an M14P. I also have the pro ...

I finally moved the splined insert within the governor control arm one spline which gave me 100 RPM more, then it was Miller time.

Thanks to all who offered solutions and suggestions.

I have tried different blade angles and moving the stop. My pitch control needs more travel at the fine pitch setting is my guess. Moving the governor arm a notch may help. I agree, 2250 RPM is plent ...

I have been adjusting blade angle for over a week and have yet to hit redline on the tach. I have adjusted my blades to almost a flat angle and still cannot hit 2350 RPM, my max has been 2250. I che ...

I refinished my hub and blades recently, so I loosened the clamps. There was also vibration I had hoped to eliminate or lessen.

Hello Walt,

Thank you for the reply.

I used 16 deg at 1000mm and I will check the scribe marks. I will fly when able to see how my settings affect the engine rpm.

Something I noticed, mayb ...

I have been fighting setting blade angles for my Housai powered CJ since last Friday. I do not understand where to measure the angle. I tried 1000mm from the prop oil supply tube and I tried 8” from ...

Richard,

Thanks for the reply. I knew, you knew better, no need to call you on your faux pas.
