52 Drivers:

Two years ago I installed a FOD cover made by a local aircraft machine 

shop and have been very satisfied with it.  They have 2 left that they 

asked me to move.  All metal complete with hardware for $75ea.  I'll 

bring them to OSH, look me up if interested.

I am curious what your FOD cover covers. I have protection for the rear bell crank but it always seemed to me that the forward bell crack was the more suseptable of the two. Has anyone built a cover for the area under the rear seat?

Bob,



I think I'll continue to sit on my helmet --no matter how bad the Flack

gets.

Steve,

 Although you are correct about the forward  bellcrank, the rear bellcrank is much more susceptible to FOD jamming  because of its close proximity to the rear bulkhead.  Accidents and  incidents that have occurred with Yak 52's were due to FOD jamming between the  rear bellcrank and the sheet metal.   The objective of the FOD cover  is to prevent FOD from finding its way into the aft-most compartment by sealing  off the aft-most compartment.
