Gang, I am peparing to purchase a Long EZ (a very nice one, at that). While I have the cash, I figure I'm better financing a portion of hte airplane for various reasons (likely 60-70%). Am I going to have difficulty finding a lender for an Experimental category aircraft that is already built and...

My new partner and I are looking at a 1975 Mooney M20C. It is a nicely upgraded IFR plane with a 400 hour O-360 engine. It is a rather high time airplane (7000) hours and the price reflects this fact. It is being sold by the owner of the FBO we fly out of for one of his friends. They just finished...

Has anyone upgraded their older Strikefinder(plasma screen) to the newer(LED) model? My display is getting very weak and hard to read and I thought I heard Insight would upgrade your older plasma model to the newer model at a decent price. TIA, Pete

Looking for options to replace the original factory Turn/Slip in a 64 M20C. It seems to have a volt meter in it. So is there any specific requirement to replace it with a specific TC? Would prefer a TC as opposed to Turn/Slip. If someone has done it and can point me to the...

I own an airplane and am considering partnering in an ultralight just for fun. I'm looking for information. There seems to be too much on the net. I'm looking to purchase a used two seater in the 10-12K range. I'm interested in training also. Can anyone point me to an appropriate website? ...

Here are a whole bunch of pictures -- and videos -- of the MATS Constellation's visit to Iowa City this past weekend. http://www.alexisparkinn.com/2004_iowa_city_fly-in.htm Mary and I were able to log some right-seat time in that big, beautiful bird, with 84 (?) year old Frank Lang in the...

Anyone reading this group from the Clemson/Central/Liberty SC area? My wife and I are planning on moving there in two years and would be very interested in hearing about any new proposed airpark developments, or any private strips that may came up for sale. I know about Oakhill and Parker, but...

Does anyone have any experience towing their airplane with a golf cart? I'm thinking about mounting a ball on the front of a golf cart to move my Bonanza in and out of the hangar. Many thanks. Ashton

I am reading the FARs and am having a hard time figure out whether I can slide out my old radios and have them upgraded and put them back in. Slide in and out only no wiring or changing the shelf itself. Or do I need A&P inspection?

Atlas just got his oil/air separator installed today. (For those who may not know, Atlas is our '74 Cherokee Pathfinder, so-named because he can lift literally anything we can fit inside!) We picked this new accessory up at OSH '04, after much debate. (It's a helluva lot of money for what looks...

Or is it even worth looking at something so high time? I'm interested in your opinions... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2488804722&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Is anyone familiar with Airshares Elite? They sell 1/8 shares of a Cirrus SR22. You basically buy 1/8 of the plane and pay for fuel, and then pay a management fee of $750/month to cover insurance, hanger, all maintenance (including engine/prop overhaul), cleaning and washing the plane, and...

I'm going to buy a new R.C. Allen electric horizon gyro to replace the co-pilot's vacuum gyro. I'm trying to decide if I want to get internal lighting or not. I couldn't find anyone that has the un-lit model in stock p/n RCA26BK-6. I need an 8 degree panel tilt and that is a special order from...

The KX155 in my "new" airplane (Helio Courier) seems to have bitten the dust. It looks like an old POS and I am trying to figure out what to do. What are the functional differences between the KX155, KX165 and the KX155A and KX165A? The airplane has a Garmin 300XL as #1 and a switching relay...

OK... question for those in the know. I've got a KNI-520 connected to a KNS-80 RNAV. The DME, localizer, and RNAV *distance* work fine, but the VOR needle doesn't deflect properly recently. If you try to center it, it won't stay in the center, but rather will twitch from pegged on one side to...
