Oil in cylinder, other cylinder issues by
Robert M. Gary
I have a mid time (1000 SFNEW) IO-360 Lycoming engine.
Recently oil consumption has increased from about 1 quart/10 hours to
about 1 quart/ 5 hours. For a long time we've collected oil on the
bottom #1 plug but it seems like its worse now.
In addition, we've had high aluminum levels in our oil...

Hartzell AD Followup by
Doug Vetter
This is a follow-up to a message I sent to the group recently about the
Hartzell propeller AD.
I flew out to the prop shop today and had them inspect my hub using the
eddy current method. Interesting technology and quite accurate for
finding the smallest of cracks on or very near the surface. ...

Control surface repair legal? Part II by
[email protected]
A few weeks ago, I acquired the "collective usenet wisdom" on whether or not moveable control surfaces are repairable. The
answer I received was that "It depends on whether or not the service manual allows it." As an example, I looked through a Piper
Cherokee service manual which said that the...

Is there a "correct" panel layout? by
Dico
I'm wondering... if you were laying out your panel today... is there a
specific way, perhaps a "standard" way, that you'd layout your
instruments? I've seen some un-intuitive layouts and I'm wondering if
anyone and provide me with some insight as to safest/user friendly
layout.
Thanks,

We have this intercom unit in our 210 and it has worked fine in the
four years we have owned the plane.

However, there is the toggle switch on the unit labeled "Isocom". We
have always left this switch in the "Off" position, because if we...

Cessna 172 F Weight and Balance by
[email protected]
My partners and I recently purchased a 1965 Cessna 172F.
The POH has weight and balance data that you would expect, except that
it focuses on moment only, gives no arm figure. Usually no big deal.
BUT, we recently bought a 396 and it will do the weight and balance
data for you if you enter the arm...

C172 Air vents by
Matt Young
Our club owns a 1978 172. The little tabs that hold the pilots side air
vent in the tube have come out and been lost, so when you get up to
speed, it just pops out (makes the right seat nice adn cool this time of
year, but will be a problem in winter). Any ideas on easy fixes or
finding the...

Piper Arrow IV fuel pressure by
MC
Does your fuel-pressure gauge fluctuate noticibly ?
Mine vibrates at about a 3Hz rate between the
middle and bottom of the green-band.
Engine runs fine...
Turning-on the electic pump reduces the amplitude of
the swing and stablizes it at around mid gauge.
Is this 'normal' ??

The cost of war by
Jay Honeck
Do you even know what the definition of Fascism is? Do you realize how
oxymoronic using the phrase "Islamo-Fascist" makes you appear?
Actually, that wonderfully descriptive term was coined (or, at least,
repeated here) by this group's very own Don Tabor, DDS.
I think is quite nicely sums up...

I am reading the FARs and am having a hard time figure out whether I
can slide out my old radios and have them upgraded and put them back
