Hello to all. I usually don't write much here, but I read yaklist every 

day. I've had (and rebuilt right off the boat) my blue (some call it the 

Easter egg) CJ since they first started coming into the country even 

before there was a Yaks Pilot Group, the Yak-List or people like Doug 

Sapp and others that try to keep us supplied with pieces and parts. Many 

of you know me through CJ and Yak check outs, formation training from 

the very first clinic held through OSK 50 and aerobatic training, etc.



	I have a couple of comments that might be worth while.



1. For those of you considering aircraft jacks. Don't waste time or 

money on anything except the original CJ jacks. They are simple, strong 

and made to do the CK job. Get all four.

	I have a question. Are there left and right wing jacks? Mine are 

identical, but I have a feeling that there should be a left and a right 

jack.



2. When jacking the aircraft it is vital that you get the airplane high 

enough off the ground (pavement). The nose gear, in swinging back, comes 

closer to the pavement and if the airplane is not high enough THE NOSE 

AND AIRPLANE WILL RISE AND TRY TO MOVE FORWARD OFF THE JACKS. This will 

spoil more than your whole day.



3. In getting into a lot of different Yaks and CJs I note different lap 

belt/shoulder harness configurations. Is there a feeling among any of 

the group that maybe we should standardize the way the belt release is 

set up. Is it better to pull the release with right hand or left hand? 

For back seaters (instructors/check pilots, etc.) this might be desirable.



	Merry Christmas or any other holiday you might celebrate.

I just bought two original (orange) jacks, one for each wing.  Is there a certain kind for the nose or engine?  Can you tie the tail down and just use the two wing jacks?   



Thanks
