Wax by zatatime
What type of wax do you use on your airplane? I'd like to stay away from the standard "carnuba" type waxes because its a royal pain to buff around all the rivets (its a Cherokee). Any one step polishes out there that don't require the second buffing step? This plane has not been waxed in at...

Choices... by Brinks
I'm looking at two older Cessna 182's. Both are the same year, both have roughly the same radios, both are in roughly the same condition, both are asking about the same price, except for the following: 1) Plane A has a newly overhauled engine, some hail damage, and newer gyros 2) Plane B has...

ROP masking of engine problems by Roger Long
Word was just getting around about a year ago that it is possible to run some carbureted engines lean of peak. It was discovered that using carb heat would improve the mixture distribution. I had a lot of time early in the year to look into this because our O320 H2AD was apart due to premature...

Airplanes in a 60' x 60' Hangar? by Kyle Boatright
Anyone have experience with a 60x60 hangar? Our EAA chapter may have the opportunity to lease one, and the economics will be driven by the number of aircraft we can store. We'll have a mix of types - figure 25% RV's, 25% kitfoxes, 25% C-172's, and 25% Cherokees. Any thoughts on the number of...

C172 fuel cap by [email protected]
I have two different after-market fuel caps on my C172. The right tank cap is vented; the left is not. Should both be vented? Is a properly functioning vented cap one that only allows air to flow into the tank?

Lubricity and Auto diesel conversions by Dude
I read in Road and Track that US diesel fuels have lower lubricity than the euro diesel. This can cause problems with the new import diesels. Does anyone know about Jet A? Will this affect the SMA and Thielert engines?

Oxidation vs. Bad Paint? by Marco Leon
While washing and waxing my white Warrior last weekend in prep for the winter, I noticed that the water squeezed from my towel was a bit white. Is this a normal side-effect from oxidation or is it bad paint? The plane was last painted 1996 with DuPont Imron. Marco
