Somebody explain to me why ANR headsets squeal when you are descending from FL180 and lower in an unpressurized aircraft. Flightcom is modifying their Denalis to deal with this but they say all ANR's do this. ???? Juan

Hello, I presently own a 1964 C172 with an O-360 A4M engine (Air Plains conversion) and am in search of a cutaway view showing THIS engine (or similar). This could either be a digitized or hard copy drawing/picture and I am willing to pay if need be. Please email to: with...

I just received my official denial letter of my request for a refund of the road tax on the autogas I run in my plane. In Virginia, highway fuel taxes amount to $0.175/gal and aviation fuel is subject to $0.05/gal. Previously, the difference of $0.125 was refunded. I believe they are taking the...

Alright, I realize that Oshkosh is so very last week, but with my drive home to Southern California and going back to work it's taken me until now to weed through all 1992 pictures I took. I weeded them down to 539... obviously not all of them are interesting but at least they're broken up into...

Using an aircraft's registration number, one can look up on NTSB if it has been involved in accidents. Is it possible to find out if an aircraft has ever had its registration number changed, to make use it hasn't been involved in an accident under a different registration? I'm looking to buy a...

Anyone have any good insights on the pros/cons of the Seneca vs the 310? I've seen several for sale in about the same price range. Thanks.

While our prop is out for some work, we're putting new 1/4" LP Aero side windows in the Aztec. A couple of the windows need to be trimmed to fit properly. What methods have proved to be the most successful? Band saw? cut off wheel? Any others? We need to take about 1/4" to 3/8" off around two...

Okay, the Cherokee 140 annual is nearly finished. Compressions are 80, 80, 80, & 78 over 80 after 5 1/2 years and 650 hours of mostly autogas use. So far everything looks very good except for two things. My A&P IA was inspecting the propeller spinner back plate and was turning the prop real slow...

Hi I'm in the market for a headset and have seen new headsets on e-bay bearing the "Feather Lite" brand. Does anyone have any experience with these headsets? Any opions as to quality of build, sound etc.etc. Any relevant info appreciated. The price is right but I want to be sure they're just...

Hello, I in the market for a six seater. Could somone please help me out with a cost analysis of a single engine 6 seater vs a twin. I would like something on the faster end of the group. Some of the models I've looked at are chugging along at 150kts or so. I'm looking for something closer to...

Still trying to find out if anyone has removed the old bowtie yokes from their shafts and replaced them with ram's horns. Lots of folks changed out the yoke/shafts as units, but nobody will fess up that they actually swapped out the yokes themselves. Since Piper lists the yoke/shaft as one part...

T-hangar with lights. Available early October. $45,000. Remove the obvious to contact me:

Last week I walked up to a couple pilots discussing an airplane that was sitting on the ramp at STE. They noted that it did not have a data tag on it so they really weren't sure what it was. What it looked like was an early straight leg 172 fastback, but it had a swept tail, not a straight tail. ...

I've come to the point where I'm looking to get into owning an aircraft. However, I've read (and calculated) that the break-even point for owning comes after about 150-200 hours per year. I'm not going to be doing nearly that amount of flying. In fact, I don't know anybody other than a CFI or...

Hello Folks, I'm beginning to look into purchasing an aircraft and one (of many) concerns I have is aircraft storage. In my area the only storage space available is on a pad. Leaving a plane out in the Michigan (Detroit) weather does not seem like the best idea. So, I have two questions... Is...

Does anyone here know of any surviving example(s), airworthy or not, of the 1929 Heath Baby Bullet? Juan

The fun is in the entertainment of the questions...

Thanks in advance. Trip
