 |
|
While many people have been able to overhaul US [and European ] radials,this
is because when these engines were made a huge amount of spare parts were
also made,and many still have stocks today.
With the Russians and the M14P family things are very different.
Spares were only made under "gosplann" for fairly short term
requirements.and given that the last new engine was made in 1994,supplies
are very short.
Indeed the factory has only just been able to make 100 engines for new Yak
18Ts,and then only by incrporating many overhauled parts.
So while good engineers like Monty Barret and Carl Hayes will make some
parts,the long term problem is that many parts will be very expensive to
manufacture,particularly if one has to begin by making the jigs and tooling
first.
