I’m not 100% sure if my math is correct. I’d like an efficient size to carry with me and without buying multiple sizes and testing I won’t be certain.

Thanks,

How much of a refill do you get with your portable bottles?

Thanks,

Does anyone know if there are any one-way check valves or flappers in the Yak 52 air/oil separator? I’m looking to set up an engine dehydrator and the best bet seems to be pumping dry air into the b ...

Does anyone know what triggers the LANDING GEAR (red) warning annunciator on the annunciator panel? This is in a 52W. I believe it’s supposed to act like what a warning horn would do in a bonanza, e ...

I have a question for those who carry the smaller portable paintball gun/scuba pony bottles. I’m looking at getting something like that to take with me on trips for the obvious reasons.

I’m cu ...

Hello all,

I seem to have an issue with excessive fuel tank venting on my 52W (two main tanks and two aux tanks). I’ve had over five gallons drain out of the central vent just forward of the coll ...

Did you find an exhaust? I have one off a Yak 52.

Greg

That doesn't look like it would work with the Yak airbox. I'd be curious to see if anyone has adapted anything for the Yak.

Mark,

CHTs and oil pressure are all normal. I don’t have any issues controlling the CHTs as usual. The oil pressure has always been 65psi give or take for as long as I can remember (and have the ...

Dennis, I like the idea I’m just not sure how feasible that would be. I would like to do that.

George, as soon as I get home from this trip I plan on pulling the cooler to be cleaned and inspect ...

All three read oil in from the tank to the engine. The third temp probe is also mounted in the oil canister where the other two oil temp probes are installed.

Greg

I ave three independent oil temp gauges reading identically. The probes have all been tested and are accurate.

Dennis, it is not stock. I have Barrett pistons and rings. At the present time there ...

Here’s one I’m trying to wrap my head around.

In the past, on my Yak 52W, my oil temps always seemed normal. They would take a little bit of time to warm up but I could easily control them and ...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I managed to do some more research as well. Mark, thanks for confirming what I thought I knew. That GAD27 is a 14V box and doesn't apply to my setup. Thankfully I'm lu ...

Good afternoon everyone,

You'll have to forgive my lack of knowledge when it comes to electricity. It has always been a weak subject of mine.

I'm installing a Garmin G3X touch with a few of the ...

Dennis,

Makes perfect sense! Thank you!

Greg

Dumb question for those of you with Doug Sapps SS air filter on a Yak 52: when you change out the desiccant does all of the air from your air tank get expelled when you disconnect the filter? Im tryin ...

Sorry to be a pain on here. I'm on the road and away from my resources. Does anyone happen to have a PDF copy of the 52W POH?

Thanks,
Greg

Interesting information. I appreciate it.

Pappy, I missed the PS. I think I'm done for the year unless a slot opens up and they need someone. I'll be starting off in Florida so I will see you then ...

Craig,

Thanks so much! Your articles are very educational.
