The wife and I just back from our Oregon vacation that you helped us plan. You guys did a wonderful job. Day 1: Left OKC on a Canadair regional jet to Phoenix. Boarded a 737 whose APU wouldn't start. 107 degrees on the tarmac and no AC. And we left our Cherokee at home why? Oh well. Landed...

Hi Group. I tried this on Rec.Aviation.Ifr, but no one has come up with any good ideas, so I am bringing it to you guys, (including the ilk). I had a trip Friday in a 1977 C-337G(pressurized). On the taxi out I noticed the suction gauge was pegged high. The AI erected ok, but the DG required...

Do you own and fly an experimental or mogas-stc aircraft based at a field that does not have mogas? If you would like to help other experimental/mogas-stc pilots obtain mogas when they travel, and see some interesting planes when they pass through your area, add yourself to the...

I am looking into purchasing a high wing STOL 701 kit. From what I have been able to gather I should be able to easily get in and out of my little postage stamp sized property with this aircraft. Looking for opinion on this, I have a 300 X 600 foot long strip with obstructions on the end of the 600...

There can be no better source of advice than this group for my question: am I too old to take up flying--and building an airplane? Full disclosure. As a young man in the Korean War I was an aviation machinist's mate in the Navy. As a forestry student in the late '50's I was a smokejumper, so I...

Folks - 43-13-1B says an inner sleeve can be up to 1/16th inch smaller in diameter than the ID of the original tubing. When you slip the inner tube inside the original tube 1/16th turns into a lot of slop. Do you make any attempt to center the inner tube in the original tubing? If so, how? - Mike

In the March 2006 issue of 'Sport Aviation,' back on page 130 is a short article by Kathleen L. Witman that shows some examples of antique avionics. But if you're interested in antiques most pilots need look no further than their own headset. See that quarter-inch phone plug? It dates from the...

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...

Anyone know the number?

I was touring the LeMay Automobile Museum south of Tacoma today and took a picture of this car designed by a famous aircraft designer. http://tinyurl.com/mz5ju Juan point if you get it correct. Rich S.

I am struggling to master a simple 115V wire feed welder. I need to repair a glider trailer. Now, I'm pretty damn good with oxy-acetylene and TIG but this wire feed thing has me stumped. The rig I borrowed doesn't have an argon bottle for true MIG welding so I'm using flux core wire. Of course...

Jim and Gail are coming back from Alaska through Seattle/Arlington on the 6th of July. I just volunteered to give a forum the afternoon of the 6th at Arlington. If either of you have any juice with the powers that be at Arlington, you might tell them that I do give a reasonably decent forum...

Hopefully in the next year or so, my PA22 to Sportsman 2+2 conversion will be ready for flight. Has anyone have plans or ideas for a simple but dry and functional hangar space.. Really just want to keep it out of the weather with nothing fancy and only enough room for the plane and room to do...

I am 65, retired and don't have a license to fly anything. I am fairly good with woodworking (built a few pieces of furniture and my father was a master carpenter) and have the basic shop tools so was considering a Fly Baby. Any advice or opinions from you folks that have 'done it'? -- Kind...

Hi Jim, I spoke with you earlier today about this. I have 3 aux audio inputs that I want to run through my PM-3000 intercom. The problem is the PM-3000 does not support any unswitched aux inputs. I had tried running them through the entertainment input but this results in the audio only playing...
