I would like to Welcome  Kurt Howerton to the CJ/Yak Community. Kurt purchased a 1988 CJ-6 ( N923YK ) the  Aircraft was signed off for Phase 1 yesterday and she took to the  Skies over Monterey Bay about 2:40 in the afternoon, first two flights went  Great...  Kurt and his Wife showed up at our facility this morning to hear  the great news, we still have some test flying to do and hopefully sometime next  week we can get Kurt checked out so he can take her home...

  

   Welcome aboard Kurt, you're  going to meet a lot of Great people on this list... Thank you,

  

 Best Regards

 Jim Selby Jr

We have two Redstar aircraft, a Yak-52 and a CJ6A (and another CJ6A  

when my project is done), at Cameron Park -- O61. We also have two  

SNJs, two T-28s, a T-34, and a Swift as well, all FAST-trained and all  

who actively go out and practice formation. We can almost always put  

up a two-ship and most times can get a four-ship formation flight with  

just a little notice if someone is interested.



In addition I am a CFI who specializes in transition training in both  

the CJ6A and the Yak-52. I also teach spins, upset recovery,  

formation, and basic aerobatics. I will be happy to provide recurring  

training, systems training, and flight reviews in your CJ should you  

feel the need.



Feel free to give me a call and then pop on over. We are only about 20  

minutes away.

Brian, Kurt and all,



I have a Yak and CJ friendly shop at Reid Hillview (KRHV) in San Jose, CA.

Current I am in the final stages of a glass panel front and rear of my -52.

Also with many other mods.  Also a -50 which is next in line for some

enhancements.



Anyone is welcome to stop by, visit chat about Yaks, and CJ.  We also are

form qualified and fly some ACM as well.

Kurt,

 Good looking machine!

 I briefly was looking over your web page about your CJ and noted your comment about the stock exhaust.  It has been our experience that the main problem with the short amount of time we can expect to get out of the system is caused by our lack of useage.  In China where these aircraft are flown continually day after day these sustems last for a long, long time.  Because we fly so little the systems rust away on the insides and soon fail.  the failure mode is normally first the lower left, then the lower right then the upper left.  The balance of the system lasts for many, many hours.  To solve this problem I had the factory in China make me entire systems out of stainless steel.  These systems are made on the very same forms as the old steel systems so every part is interchangeable.  What this means to you is that you can change the "wear" parts to stainless steel as they fail because the staniless parts are 100% interchangeable with the sotck steel parts.  This saves you a bunch of $ and pervents you from having to throw away the remaining perfectly good exhaust parts.  

 About exhaust gas from the leaking exhaust entering the cockpit:

 This is largly a "wives tail", the exhaust gasses which enter the cockpit are comming in via the rear canopy skirt and the opening in the floor boards via the wheel wells.  In flight the interior of the cockpit is a low pressure area when compaired to the pressure of the gasses and air flowing accross the aircraft canopys an aircraft skin.  Because  of this any exhaust gasses in the area are quickly sucked into the cockpit.  A ram air (for summer use) will help to make the inside and outside pressure close to equal will stop the gasses from entering the cockpit.  A exhaust system with a cabin heat muff will help do the same thing during the winter months if your flying in the colder weather.  Sealing the cabin floor and the wheel wells helps also, but the problem will never be totally solved until you cause the cabin pressure to equal or exceed the outside pressure.

 Thanks for letting us see your bird, will you be at OSH this year?  I'll be there along with most of the other west coasters.  We hope to fly out in one big gaggle.

 Feel free to give me a call if you need parts or help, office number is 509-826-4610

Kurt:



Welcome to the CJ family!!  It is a great airplane and you'll really enjoy it.  Fortunately for you, you are in California.  When you want to add some mods to it, Barry Hancock at Worlwide Warbirds in Chino, has the stuff and the mechanics who know how to do it.  Rudder pedal mods, Malcom hood canopy w/ one piece rear section, EFIS install, long range tanks (new design!) or baldders if you want em, etc, etc.
