Hello all, Is there such a thing as a "day of purchase" contract? We've done a title/lien search and all, but it'll be a couple weeks til the sale actually happens. In that time a purchaser could put a new lien on the plane. What do you do to protect yourself against this? Is there some sort...

Homebuilders, (and others), if you’re cramped for panel space, have too many switches for “non-essential� avionics, and want to protect your electronics installations from start up transients...go he http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4647303457 I think I have a...

("Newps" wrote) Going to ANE next Wednesday night or Thursday morning, any hangars available for a week that would be cheaper than Cirrus? I just sent an e-mail to your home account. Info about (confirmed) hangar space at ANE. One confirmed - don't need to commit to it (unless it sounds...

After 30 years of fun and excitement in the SF Bay area, I've taken a new job in Perth, Western Australia. Now I need to decide what to do about my iBugsmasher, a wonderful 1969 C172K that I have modified so that it's just the way I want it: C172K, 2050 hours on airframe New Garmin IFR panel 100...

http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/bizav/652-full.html#192405 The FAA dinged an A&P for not complying with a "mandatory" SB prior to returning an aircraft to service in a part 91 environment. The NTSB upheld it, breaking with decades of precedent.

I am happy to announce my aviation book Handbook of Aeronautical Inspection and Pre-Purchase, 242 pages; quality trade paperback (soft cover); catalogue #04-2873 ISBN 1-4120-5065-0 is available on line: www.trafford.com/04-2873 This book explains what is done or what should be done to mitigate...

The display window for the KY197 Com consists of two pieces of plastic. The front piece is clear with just three labels on it. "use, standby, and comm". The back piece is of a light amber color and matches the front piece for shape and has a black mask to hide everything behind the window except...

Here are photos of this afternoon's storm moving through northwest Tucson. I'm standing in front of my hangar at KAVQ. From the first photo until the last was about five...

Just went in to the avionics shop today to check on the installation work they are doing (SL-40 COM, PS-4000 intercom/panel, & G396 wired to both). Turns out that Garmin just cut the price $300 on the 396 so its now at $2195. Anyway, if anyone has been out there waiting, looks like Garmin...

I have a piper turbo arrow with a TSIO-360-FB engine. It has the original waste gate on the turbo, and an after market turbo plus intercooler. I recently made a long trip, and got the plane up to 14000 for the first time in a long time. I was having trouble keeping the exhaust temp down. I had the...

In answer to the question earlier all those videos are available on DVD from Ebay http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=pilotpublications Thanks

How is the squelch adusted on a KX-155? Is there is mini-screw hole in the face that I'm not seeing? What screw driver do I need to adjust my King OBS head feed by my MX-170B? I think its some sort of spline driver. -Robert

Still flying with the 195 on my yolk and that was $ well spent years ago but would like to upgrade. Anyone hear anything about what's coming down the pike next? Seems about 2 year intervals for these portables. Thanks for any info. Dale PA-24

Does anybody know where I can find a manual for the King KFC-200 as a PDF? Google only shows some places where I can buy a paper copy. I'm still trying to figure out what fried chicken has to do with flying airplanes.

Well it looks like it's about time to replace the old KNS-80 RNAV. That thing has had a lot of use, it's getting old, and it's been in the shop a number of times. Currently the frequency selector appears to need cleaning, but I'm not sure how long it has left. So, I'm looking into a certified GPS...

Hey folks, I'm starting a flying club with a Light-Sport Aircraft and I can't decide what type of plane to buy. (I'm going to buy and then sell the shares. Doing it the other way around seems to lead to nothing but talk and procrastination.) I, personally, have become infatuated with light...

Hello all, I'm planning a trip from Newton, KS to Bangor, ME. We'll be flying a Twin Comanche. Time frame would be in the next 2 or 3 weeks. I'm looking for advice on airports to stop at, fuel up and get a bite to eat. Ideally we'd stay away from the big centres and inexpensive fuel would be a...

Looking through the ASO.com listings recently I have seen C-152 in 60-70,000 range. Is this a typo or has the world gone crazy. Since when is a 152 worth more than lets say 20k? David

I bought one of those "Y" adapters so I could play my iPod thru my stereo headset. Your headset plug goes in 1 end, and then it branches off to a standard headset plug for the intercom and a "mini" plug for the iPod. The problem is that the plane's radio volume drops to barely audible, even with...

So, I spoke to the Honeywell guy at the AOPA fly-in today and asked abou the long-awaited WAAS replacement for the KLN-94. If you remember, last year they were saying that they'd got the GPS engine done, and were looking how to productize it. They even sent round a questionaire to figure out if...
