maybe he can answer bruce's question then. it's my guess is that it's for the engine oil system because the oil in the engine not only lubricates the motor but also is used in governing the prop pitch angle too. then again, we are talking about WWII era russian engineering......

edit: not to mention, the only hydraulics that i can think of on this plane would be for the brakes and the landing gear, so i'd bet it's for the motor,

NBN: the gyro warn is your vacuum failure indication. when your vacuum pump fails you loose your AI (artificial horizon) and your DG (directional gyro). in U.S. planes you have another gyro which is your turn coordinator but 99.9% of the time it's an electric driven gyro, now on the yak......??
