Lancair IV by
Dico Reyers
Hello,
I'm looking for good/informative web sites on the Lancair IV planes.
I don't see many for sale on ASO.com or Controller.com and I can't
find much info on them.
Any one ever fly one and can share their experience?
Thanks,

What to look for - bringing an aircraft back to life by
Louis L. Perley III
I seek the collective wisdom of the group. As I have mentioned previously, I
was the co-owner of a 1965 Piper Aztec, due to various conflicts in the
partnership, the plane has not flown in two and a half years (approx.) most
of this time it has been in a heated hangar, but has been out in the...

Hull/Liability Insurance Recommendations by
Jim Weir
The BlueOnBlue 182 is coming up for insurance (hull & liability) renewal in
about fifteen days. I'm very careful to get competitive quotes using the same
coverage. So far it is:
Phoenix $805
AIG $920
Global $939 (current carrier with no renewal discount)
Any suggestions on another quote that...

Oil change. by
Tony Cox
I changed the oil in my O470R this weekend. 24.5 tach hours
and 4 months from the last oil change. I use AeroShell 100W+,
which is a 50 weight ashless oil (the one with the gold coloured
label).
After flying around for an hour or so to warm it up before draining,
I happened to notice that oil on...

auxiliary heat by
Jim Burns
Does anyone in the group use a 12v auxiliary heater or heated blanket for
added cabin or passenger heat? I've seen that they come in 150watt/12.5 amp
and 300watt/ 30amp versions. We'd have to figure out the current load on
our alternators but I'm wondering if we should even consider such an...

Rear passenger legroom in arrow by
Dahlin
I currently fly a 1969 140 and am considering buying an Arrow. Is there
more leg room for rear passengers in the Arrow than the 140? Is there a
difference in the pre 72 and post 72 Arrows with the longer fuselage as far
as legroom. I'm tall and need the seat back which doesn't leave any leg...

As I work my way through the sampler order with which Wal and y'all helped, plus
some gifts, I am beginning to contemplate box purchases in the next few months.
Bought a good sized cooler during the fall clearance sales so I have a place for
such purchases to land.
I do not know whether vendors...

Thanks,

Install a Garmin GNS430 or an "Apollo" GNS480 ? by
Roy Page
I was all ready to install a GNS 430 but now feeling that a GNS 480 may be a
better option.
Although more expensive, I am getting the impression that the GNS 480 has
significant advantages.
It seems that UPS stole a lead on Garmin with their WAAS approved unit.
Now with Garmin owning the brand and...

Adding a glideslope to a KX-155 by
Brinks
I'm looking at a plane that has a KX-155 radio without the glideslope. Can
I add a glideslope to it and get another head, or is that something that has
to be built in to the radio from the factory? Any info is greatly
appreciated!
