can answer why...

New Prop on my Mooney Ovation by
Charles Talleyrand
I have read that the main difference between the Ovation and the Ovation II is the better prop on the second airplane. Can one
install the new prop on the old model. It's the same airplane and the same engine between both the Ovation and Ovation II, so the
only worries are legal ones.
Finally, I...

American Safety Flight Systems seat belts -- Help! by
Paul Millner
Now that my daughter is in a belt-positioning booster, the belt is about
8" too short to go around her plus the seat
Contact Aircraft Belts in Kemah Texas, they'll reweb that one belt 10"
longer for you, and you're in... when I've been in a hurry, they've done one
day turnarounds for me.

Corrosion X Applicators by
Hankal
Corrosion X applicators.
Some shops just mist or fog Corrosion X into the fuselage.
Others will use long wands and spray it into the wings.
Which is better or which is recommended by the manufacturer?

Best price Aeroshell 10W-50W? Where to buy from? by
Paul Millner
P L E A S E get me a
stock number. If I can get that, my local Sam's might be able to
order it from distribution.
Sams in Concord, CA used to have 15-50, I know they have 100. I'll look
next time I'm over there, and write down the number.

Tach 100rpm low by
Ben Smith
Hello -
Our mechanic verified my hunch that our tachometer is reading 100rpm low.
(At all ranges). Should the tach be repaired, or replaced? (Or left
alone?) Also, if I get a new one, is there a way to have the indicated
hours made the same as the existing one?
TIA

Cessna 172K Hawk XP startup procedure? by

starting the Continental IO-360-K engine
The TCM fuel injected engines are sweet, pleasant, docile

which is simple cold but can be a miserable fire-prone bitch
to hot start.

HSI Heading Flag - Help by
Victor J. Osborne, Jr.
Last week my HSI Heading flag stayed up on startup and the 'Comp'ass

few days later (& many bucks lighter) I had a rebuilt remote gyro. Oh,
well. It's all about money, I mean flying.

Extra fees by
Paul Millner
What is a flow fee?
Typically a per gallon fee charged by an airport operator to anyone flowing
fuel on their airport. Some operators even try to charge the guy pouring
mogas from 5 gallon cans into his 172. I've seen as low as a penny, and as
much as a dime... 3 to 5 cents is typical.

ASOS by

Many ASOS frequencies in the Ohio area are being changed to the same
frequency(121.425). I find this bad since I usually tune in my local ASOS from
50 to 100 miles out (depending on altitude). This was fine when the
frequencies were different, but now I get info from a nearer one. I want to

It would be most convenient for me to arrive on

that the GAC area will...
