Airport Power by
Kyle Boatright
I need a trickle of electrical power about a dozen times a year in my
hangar. I need it for my 125 watt preheater if I'm taking an early-morning
flight in the winter, and will use it for a .25A trickle charger if I've let
the aircraft sit for more than a week or two.
The problem is that my...

Learning from an owner annual by
Robert M. Gary
After 6 years of Mooney ownership I'm doing my first owner assisted
annual. Most of my previous annuals have been done by factory service
centers. I'm quite a good wrench around cars so this experience is
mostly about me learning the standards & practices of aircraft work.
I'm amazed by a couple...

Garmin GpsMap 396 - First Impressions (long) by
Mike Spera
I stopped whining about the cost of things aviation a while ago. $5.00+
per gallon gas and Piper parts prices don't phase me anymore. I have
thought about this unit for a while now and compared it's value/function
to what other upgrades I could buy instead for the same money. So, I
find myself...

What do you do about maintenance? by
Andrew Gideon
Picture an airport where MX services are limited. Perhaps because there's
no real shop at the airport, but maybe just a couple of independents that
work out of their hanger. Or perhaps there are shops but they're
"imperfect" (ie. unwilling to work on anything that's not scheduled two or
more weeks...

Windshield Haze by

I've noticed that the windscreen and canopy on my RV-6 has developed a haze
on its exterior.
The history of the canopy is that the canopy was manufactured about 7 years
ago, with the airplane first flying about 5 years ago. The airplane has
always been hangared (other than the occasional overnight...

Hey Guys,
So my annual on 'Julie' (A Cherokee 140) is coming in substantially
lower than expected, and it looks like I'm going to have about 4k in
funds freed up that I had already budgeted to spend.
Of course, the sensible side of me says I should save the money for
Fuel... but what fun is...

What sort of plane do I want? by
Paul Tomblin
Ok, when I'm dreaming, I want a deHavilland Beaver on amphib floats
with all the Kenmore mods. But lets be practical here, I haven't won the
lottery.
Is there a plane out there that:
- is on floats (preferably amphibs, but I know they add a lot to the cost)
- can carry two people plus camping...
