RE: Quique Somenzini YAK-54S 73"

RE: Quique Somenzini YAK-54S 73"

Well, I flew my 73" again today.....MUCH better.

The CG is almost at the forward limit and it was fine. Needed a little up trim, but not too bad.

Also, after wrestling with getting it to...

RE: Quique Somenzini YAK-54S 73"

Hey YakPak,

I had an OS 160 in a couple of old planes of mine....an Ohio RC Extra 300 and a Hangar 9 Clipped Wing Taylorcraft. It was an AWESOME engine. I traded the T-Craft for a Christen...

RE: Quique Somenzini YAK-54S 73"

OK, all repairs made.

I put a 1/8" plywood doubler on the outside of the second wing rib that broke. I found that the rib was basically a 1/16" balsa rib and a 1/16" plywood doubler on the...

RE: Quique Somenzini YAK-54S 73"

How do you know how to set up the pump?

I mean, once you get the high and low speed needles adjusted for high end, low end and transition, what are you looking for when you adjust the pump?

RE: Quique Somenzini YAK-54S 73"

I'll likely stay with the setup I have. It's exactly the same as EMVIN's setup with the 180 and Perry pump, so I know it will work.

I also am resisting playing with the low speed needle right...

RE: Please HELP! Need a 1/4-28 Pressure Fitting w/Nipple

Actually, NO, that didn't work!

I bought a grease fitting from my local auto parts store. It's too long....it bumps right into the muffler, so I can't put any tubing onto it. The elbow ones...

RE: Need Help - Brison 3.2 Smoke Tap

OK, what started out to be a promising idea turned out to be a dismal failure.

RE: Need Help - Brison 3.2 Smoke Tap

I may try a 1/4-28 hex-head bolt and drill and tap it for a 10-32 nipple (which I have). If that doesn't work, I'll call Bennett next week.

RE: Need Help - Brison 3.2 Smoke Tap

Thanks for the info! I saw that little button-head bolt and wondered what the heck it could be for!
