Well we finally went and paid for our new bird. A 1964 Comanche 250. After months of deciding to buy it or get a small plane. We went down as they were doing the annual on it. All turned out good. All compression 72/80 with only 10 hours on the plane in the last year. Our first projects a Paint,...

The ADF in our Cessna 172 isn't working right. Yes, we can receive the audio but the indicator only swings through 180 degrees on the indicator (from 180 to 360) and doesn't point in the direction of the transmitter. We tried repalcing the indicator with no improvement. Can someone...

Are there any pilots out there who fly frequently to New England from New Jersey. I am not a pilot yet, but have taken some lessons. I love general aviation and small planes. I travel often to New England from NJ (Teterboro area) and I would love to find a friend or partner who also travels to...

Mike, how about another update on flying the Courier?

Several years ago I developed a software program to read engine RPM based on the sound that the engine makes. I now have a new version of this (free) software available which is much easier to use than the old verison. It runs on any Pocket PC, or any Windows laptop. You can use it to check the...

"He lives on two acres of fruit orchard in Grass Valley with his wife Gail Allinson, a Sheltie... Um Jim, you'll have to change that line if you want the women's vote. ;) Be prepared for everything to be taken out of context. Sounds like a real circus going on out there, Flint, Huffington,...

Needed to get night current for an IFR flight next week. Since I have not flown at night for quite some time, figure to give me an adjustment period as day transitions to night. Video includes slow flight while waiting for the sun to set, watching the sunset from 3000 feet and two landings at...

We have a shop that's proved that shimmy isn't inevitable in Cessnas, as other shops have tried to tell me in the past. The nose gear started to shimmy after 18 months solid as a rock. Turned out to be water in the wheel, trapped between the two halves and acting like a wheel weight. How it got...

Well, after only putting 12 hours on our Aztec since our annual, we've got a bad prop seal on our left prop. The prop shop is overbooked until OSH is over, so we've got it scheduled to go in Aug. 3. (One side benefit is that while the prop is gone we'll have time to put in our new side windows!...

I have a 1995 Piper Archer which is starting to get loud inside as the door seal is getting all worn and cruddy. I looked on the web to buy new door seals. I did not realize there was such a plethora of products out there. I am thinking about the Avtek air-squeeze product and wonder if anyone...

As a non pilot just intrested in this group temporarily, you may flame me for this post. The guy who said you don't scare the... um... 'pax' has it exactly right. I hear what you all are saying about fatigue and those are all real good points. But here's the reality... if that had been me, I...

The message below was taken from AOPA website: ---------- Protect your freedom to fly by commenting on the ADIZ today.

I heard recently that a 1965 Comanche 260 is the fastest of the Comanche 260s (by about 5 nts). Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone have a favorite year for Comanche 260s in terms of performance or capability? -Sami -- Cyber Defense Agency, LLC - Defending Critical Cyberspace O. Sami Saydjari

Calling all owners that leaseback a plane to a club or FBO or ?? I have found that financers offer different loans depending on the who uses the plane. For a club they want 10 years or less but for private they will finance up to 20 years. Maybe I just need to keep looking. I don't quite...

Hi All I'm in the process of purcasing my first Plane from a private owner. The current owner lives in NY state and I live in NJ.
