Gang,
I wanted to update everyone on a few of our "user friendly" mods for the CJ and Yak.
1) CJ Rudder Pedals. 30 hours of test flying by Craig Eckberg are in the books. "Very nice! Makes a big difference....", said Craig on the phone this morning. We'll be running our first production set this week.
2) Yak-52 Bubble Canopy. Done. Just got our first production canopy. Shape is fantastic and optics are good. We can deliver individual pieces or complete sets in clear or medium tint.
3) Yak-52 Rudder Pedals. Still looking for a -52 to test fit. The Yak-50 has a significantly deeper throw than the CJ, so we know we need to make adjustments. The bars are the same, but the travel is different.
4) CJ Fuel tank modification. Prototype tank is being welded this week. We'll then know exactly how much fuel it can carry, but we're estimating 29.61 gallons. Wing modification is underway and not complex. We're shooting to have the first set complete in a month.
5) Idiot proof your back seat with switch blockers for mags and rear cockpit switches. Simple installation goes right under the switch guard and prevents inadvertent flipping of switches.
6) Complete metal placard kits in English for CJ. Designed to match Chinese look with highlighted colors on key components. Comes with a quick reference guide (Op Limits, etc.) that mounts on your old ADF control head mount on the right side of the cockpit.
In the works:
-"Barca Lounger" mod for CJ to move front seat back and give another inch of room and also a slight recline.
-Complete wiring harnesses for CJ. This will be especially useful for those looking to upgrade their avionics and/or installing an engine monitor.
-170 knot cruise....this one could take us awhile... 
Please call me or email direct for further information, pricing, and pictures.
Cheers,
Barry Hancock
