RPAers,
First, I recieved some comments from members about the magazine content seeming to come heavily from the NE and with Yak aircraft. The editor is located in the NE region (flys a CJ), and makes a national, and international plea for content from all regions - in fact, we would love to see a beautiful CJ-6 Echelon shot for an upcoming cover as you see the folks on the current cover in their Yak 52TWs (SE members by the way), same goes for L-39s and L-29s and...Magazine printing and shipping is now a commercial function, but content will always rely on all members, US, Canadian, European, Australian, etc. sending in their best pictures (300 dpi desired) and other written content...
The association needs your expertise,
Over the last 24 months admin(at)flyredstar.org (admin(at)flyredstar.org) recieved emails from members asking about rumors concerning future engine availability, future new engine production...a number of general "rumors" concerning our powerplants in CJ and Yak aircraft (Chinese/Eastern Europe)
We need magazine articles for future editions and this is one subject that keeps popping up...
Are you the countries most knowledgable on the current state of affairs (politics, inventories, future plans) in availability of M-14P and derivitive engines from Eastern Europe/Russia? How about from the Chinese? If you sell engines or airplanes thats ok; as long as the information is unbiased, factual and helpful to the membership.
As I help a comrade with his CJ, which hasn't flown in some time, the issue of new and factory overhauled engine availability comes up and always does, rumors of no more manufacturing, current ability to ship for overhaul, bench stock inventories against market demand, waiting lists, future possible US engine variants,
I know its not much, but if anyone writes an authoritative article about the current and future availability issues of either powerplant source, he/she gets a free 2007 logo T-Shirt from the RPA store (2007 theme shirt is in the design stage, but if you need one now, our store manager can help),
Any and all articles should be sent to newsletter(at)flyredstar.org (newsletter(at)flyredstar.org) or direct to Dan Fortin or Rob Mortara.
If you have comments on this email, please send direct to admin(at)flyredstar.org (admin(at)flyredstar.org) , thanks!
Fly often - fly safe,
Drew

Subject: Who sells instruments?
I'm setting up the panel now on my F51 project so the subject of
instruments
came up. My Housai engine will need at least a tach, oil temp / pressure
gauges.
Anything else recommended and who sells these gauges please? Anything
sitting
on a shelf gathering dust in good serviceable condition? I'm in the
market for decent
flight instruments too. I see what looks to be a tach generator sticking
out from the
air start distributor.
I've a starting procedure question too. After you've pulled the prop
through, primed etc.
you hit the starter and that engages the air solenoid and shower of
sparks ( incorrect
name I think) simultaneously. As the engine begins to start, the mags
get switched
on and briefly the air, shower of sparks and mags all are engaged
together. Do you
normally need to have your left hand free to play with the throttle
through all of this ?
ie, would it be very important for me to configure the starter
button/switch and mag
switch to be activated with only one hand during the process? Thanks.

Dave,
I have all the engine and pneumatic instruments you might need, also valves,
etc, etc. If it's in a CJ I have it.
Actually having 3 hands would be handy some times. I'd configure it
somewhat like the CJ or 52.
Always Yakin,
Doug Sapp
