Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 6:22 pm Post subject: Yak 55 smoke system

Does anyone have a smoke system in a Yak 55?  I have the  

Smokingplanes system in the Yak 52.  Mounted in the rear deck.  I do  

not like the location's effect on the CG especially with a back  

seater.  Although I did inverted spins and tumbles with the tank half  

full and a 160 lb GIB with no effect on recovery.  Its a little  

inconvenient to fill also and it would be nice to have more  

capacity.  I have had good luck, good performance, and no maint  

problems out of the system.  Just wondering about alternatives for  

the 55 - even if people have used the Smokingplanes system - I would  

like to know how and where they have mounted.



Thanks,

Herb

Hello Herb,



"Janie", our Yak 52 (registered G-CBSS in the UK) has smoke system.

Installed by Yak UK behind the back seat. About 20 liters.

With a reversible pump and a refill point on her belly !!

Leaks a little bit but other than that ... no problem.

And Yes, we do Flat spins and Lomcovaks ... with smoke.  )

You can contact Yak UK or Termikas for more info.

See attached pictures.

Cheers,

Etienne Verhellen.
