Engine stumble followup by Dave
OK.. By "feel" there is a little looseness in the throttle valve bushings in the carb.. we gona look further. Thanks to all for some great thoughts/solutions. Can anybody suggest some tests to confirm an intake system leak that allows excess low DA air to lean the mix when the throttle valve...

Need help with fuel guage .... by Dave
OK...a 1976 PA 28 151.. After a few minutes of running, the port guage will start to fall towards E. It is showing 3/4 now (fuel at tabs), and will sag to 1/4 within about 15 min, while I am operating on the starboard (other) tank. Shut down for a few hours, guage resumes normal (correct)...

It was the guage! by Dave
After the problem stopped being intermittent, and the failure sayed with is for a while, we got a chance to nail this down, with an extra tank sending unit to test it with.. Surprising enough, when the guage failed, the resistance was still about the same as when it was working normally. I...

GNS 480 Simulator by dave
I'm looking at an airplane, Beech M35, that has a 480 already installed. I downloaded the manual and the simulator. The simulator crashes. I also noticed that it pushes my CPU up to 100% usage. My computer is a newer 1.8GHz with more than 2G of ram. I can't find any instructions on the...

Rigging a Cherokee 6-300 by Dave
My maintenance shop rigged my control surfaces, at my request. The plane 'seemed' to have been flying in a bank, despite having the AI centered and DG on the same track. They found that the flaps were the biggest culprits and adjusted them accordingly. When I flew it and took it up to cruise,...

ARC cessna transponder information wanted by dave
i'm working on a plane and his RT459A transponder is not working properly. I would suspect that it may be cheaper to replace than to fix it. Are all the ARC transponders interchangeable? If not, which ones are/aren't? Are there any replacement transponders that will fit the tray? Thanks Dave

Can vacuum AI be removed if a certified electric one is installed?? by Dave
I had an interesting discussion with other pilots about converting my Piper Cherokee 6 to all electric. This would basically require replacing the AI and DG with electric AI and elec. HSI. So, then, there would be no use for vacuum pump. But, one pilot said that the certified elec. AI only...

replacing plastic panel overlay w/aluminum by Dave
I want to make my own aluminum overlays to simply replace the plastic in my Piper Cherokee. I've been told over and over that this is cosmetic, non-structural and therefore legal without an approved 337. The only thing is that on the middle and lower strip of instruments (fuel guages, RPM, etc.)...

STec-30 doesn't pass startup test after I shorted something.... by Dave
Okay, I screwed up. I was relocating the 3 panel switches for my STEC 30. The main power on/off, the nav 1/nav 2 and the alt. hold push button. When I relocated them and powered up, the self test succeeded and I heard the servos testing themselves. But then one of the insulators covering a lead...
