Ham radio in aircraft by
Jay Maynard
As my .signature attests, I'm also a ham radio operator. I'd like to be able
to use a 2 meter/440 MHz dual-band radio in the aircraft. While, ideally,
that radio would be an Icom IC-2820H, like the one in my car, practically
speaking it'll be a handheld. An external antenna would seem to be a...

Flying Club Billing by
[email protected]
I am part of a very small flying club that shares the cost and
ownership of an aircraft.
We've been handling the billing for flights and such for a number of
years with simple versions of quickbooks and its, well, just ok at
handling this. Not particularly well suited, but cheap. Unfortunately

HID Lamps; Your opinions and experience by
[email protected]
As I get older, and I find myself needing more and more light as the
lenses in my eye darken, I have noticed a definite need for more light
on night landings. My eye doc has recommended waiting a while on the
cataract surgery, as they are not so bad yet. Given that, I think
having a better view of...

PA-28 Glareshield Replacement by
Marco Leon[_4_]
What are the options out there for replacing the glareshield fabric on Piper
Cherokees? Specifically, I have a 1978 Warrior that has some badly-faded
fabric though the tears seem to be minimal. I know I'll need to have the A&P
remove the windshield but the weatherproofing seems to be coming out...

purchase of a vary large roll around tool box and 2 stage air compressor

What type of connector do Northstar M1 M3 use? by
[email protected]
I want to build a cable to run my M1 & M3 at home in demo mode. Both
navigators use the same connector & pinout for their power (connector
P15 on M3, not sure about M1). The connector looks like a Centronics
24-pin, but the edges are more rounded. I showed my local electronic
store my M3 but...

Removing an ELT to change battery by
[email protected]
I have a Piper Archer III and want to change the battery. The ELT is
an Artex 110-4. I can open the panel and found two thumbscrews which
only remove the cap of the ELT, I can also remove the BNC and Molex
connector. There are four screws on top, however these serve only to
open the ELT,...

flaps again by
Kobra
Flyers,
First, as a reminder, some may recall that I had unwittingly landed one day
in Williamsburg, VA without the flaps. I didn't notice they had not
deployed until my next pre-flight when I found them INOP. They I remembered
out fast I came over the fence and controlling the airspeed was...

Headwind? What's that...? by
David Lesher
I flew MHT-BWI on Southwest yesterday...
We were making no better than 270 knots groundspeed. I guess the Cap't
was not BS'ing us about a stiff headwind at ~33,000...
Any slower & we'd have to gotten out & pushed...

Preheating engines: Airplane engines versus auto engines by
Peter R.
This time of year here in the Northeast US I always preheat my Bonanza's
IO520 engine with a Tanis heater and an insulated cowling/prop cover as it
sits in an unheated t-hangar. The result is that the oil temperature at
startup is around 105 degrees F, even if the outside air temperature is as
low...

OH IO520 or replace with IO550 by
Paul kgyy
Any info about relative cost of a high quality overhaul of an IO520
compared with replacement by a (say) second run IO550?
"high quality" means to me, at least, either ECI or Millennium
cylinders and a nationally known shop.

Snow over ice by
Viperdoc
I thought about the winch system, but my plane weighs around 5,000lbs.
Pulling on the tail tie down ring might just rip it off. There unfortunately
is no way even four people could push it upslope on our ramp on the ice.
I use a 10HP tug that goes under the nose wheel, and is big enough for a...

Installing instruments and avionics in small aircraft by
Dave[_3_]
Heh...heh...
I thought of the same possibility a few months ago.....
We have to allow for the possibility that anyone here may be very
different in real life than our "on line" personalities...
It would not be the first time..
Great entertainment tho....

So Whudj'all get for Christmas? by
Jay Honeck
For the plane, of course... ;-)
It was a year for tools, for me. Mary gave me a way cool mini-tool
kit, in a quality carrying case that folds down into a neat 8" x 12"
package. It's full of screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, a hammer --
all the stuff you might need in a pinch. Along with my...
