Okay, its getting boring so, here is a new twist on an old subject. Beech and Cessna have recently seen HUGE increases in demand for aircraft with the G1000 cockpits. Will this cause them to rethink the introduction of a new piston design to compete with the new players? If so, how long till you...

Our JPI EDM-700 engine analyzer may have paid for itself today. Here's the scenario: Mary is PIC. During her run-up, the left mag dropped a bit more than the right. She leaned it back (the usual fouled-plug procedure) and it smoothed out to within specs. Still not as smooth at the right, but...

I wound up inheriting a student. Older guy (in his 50's) who had taken lessons on and off, and finally finished. Brand new private pilot, well over 100 hours at checkride. And he went out and bought a Bonanza. And not a little one, either - a 1970's A-36 six-seater. His CFI at the local FBO...

I have added a few extra aircraft items to my current ebay auctions. Piper retractable nosewheel trunion casting (used on Arrow, Lance, Saratoga, or adaptable for larger homebuilts) Piper scissor link part number 67145 Antique aircraft carb heat valve restorable I also have a TEAM Airbike 277...

We've put our first 100 hours on our Aztec since buying it mid-August and this weekend we had the 50hr and 100hour AD's complied with. Fuel leak inspection (50hrs, pilot can do this one), Fuel valve/cable inspection, Engine mount inspection, Exhaust system inspection. Everything looked...

Do you take the cowl off a 172 when you pre-flight it? I have never and was never taught to do that. Besides the gaping hole in the m20c cowl should allow you to peek at just about everything. Jon Kraus PP-ASEL-IA Student Mooney Owner '79 M20J @ TYQ

Ok, this is a reaccuring theme but I would like to have some feedback reg. insurance for a Cessna 206 for a low time (160h) VFR only pilot. AOPA, for example, wants 250h. Thanks Chris, New Mexico PP-ASEL, Glider

To re-phrase your question: I am too cheap to pay for the software in the GPS III Pilot, so I was wondering if there was some way to steal it?

Anyone know how to search the web for AD's on an aircraft? On an engine? On a propellor? How about service bulletins?

Does anyone out there have power setting and fuel flow data for a Continental IO-520A engine? These were installed on some 1970's era Bonanzas, and someone whose opinion I respect mentioned that the power setting and fuel flow data in the aircraft POH were based more on marketing requirements than...

Hello all, may be some one could help me out. I purchased a 1967 C-182 K this summer with a Continental 470. When I pull out the carb the RPMs drop considerably(200+rpm). I believe that it is creating a rich mixture as on a run up I can get the rpms to come back up by leaning. I guess I'm just...

Hi all. I'm still searching for some headset parts, preferably David-Clark. Any set with a cell phone input adapter would be great. Broken or working, I'll pay by credit card or Paypal. Please call me at 561.478.1098 or send an email to marty@ xxxx worth.net xxx kill the x's to get the correct...

I am considering installing an engine analyzer/monitor on my 67 skylane with a Continental 0-470....opinions options thoughts..................

Just an update on what we've been finding with our Janitrol heater. First, the spark plug isn't operating like it should. When we ground it to the side of the heater, we don't get consistent or very strong spark. If we take the spark plug off the lead and hold the lead 1/4 inch from the case, it...

If there were ever a day where I was feeling low about aircraft ownership, today would certainly be a candidate. My V35 is in the beginning stages of an engine replacement and annual. The rebuilt engine has yet to arrive (probably another two weeks out) but the mechanics were able to start the...

Doesn't one of the N # databases list the complete ownership history? The ones I find only list the current registered owner. Alex --

I recently bought an O-360-A1D from a parted out Geronimo Apache to use in my RV-8 project and have a question (or two) regarding its background. The engine was installed on the Apache in late '95 and has a new Lycoming logbook, no previous logs included. Makes me think it's a Lyc. factory reman...

I am running my Archer on Aeroshell 15W50. The Lycoming 0-360 burns about a quart of oil every 12 hours. I have a case of Aeroshell W100 and have no use for it and everybody at our field uses a multigrade. I was watching an Aeroshell video and was surprised that it implied that all Aeroshell oils...
