Pilatus P3 by
[email protected]
There is a very nice looking Pilatus P3 that has come on the market at
our local field, and I'm definitely tempted to look seriously at it.
After doing some online research on the P3, I've found some
information, but I was wondering if anyone out there could provide a
comparison of how a P3...

Aircraft Tugs by
[email protected]
I recently became a first time aircraft owner and I'm quickly realizing
that with the uneven pavement on the ramp to my hanger, and the 2600lb
empty weight of the plane, I'm going to have to resign to getting some
form of aircraft tug.
Looking at the Sporty's catalog, there are two types listed,...

Oshkosh Lodging by
[email protected]
I was wondering if anyone has Oshkosh lodging recommendations for the
26th to the 30th. This will be my 6th Oshkosh, but the first time I'll
be able to fly into the show. All previous times we have commuted from
Madison after flying in there due to relatives in that part of the
state.
I know the...

Monroy ATD-300 & ProxAlert R5 by

I started this thread on rec.aviation.products, but I'm also interested
to find out if anyone here has done a panel mounted installation of a
Monroy ATD-300 or a ProxAlert R5? If so, where did you mount the
antenna and how well does it...

Why so many 310s for sale? by
[email protected]
I've noticed quite a few Cessna 310s posted for sale recently on
ebaymotors and controller.com. This got me wondering if there is a
reason why there are so many on the market (beyond the obvious high
fuel and insurance costs for twins). Are 310s impacted by the spar ADs
that the bigger twin Cessnas...

Twins vs. Singles - comparisons by
[email protected]
With the current depressed market for twins, it is interesting to
compare something like an SR22 or C210 to a Cessna 310. You can afford
a lot of gas, insurance, and reserve for overhauls; with a $100K+
savings on the initial purchase price. Also, I'd be surprised if there
is much more depreciation...

Diamond DA-40 headroom by
[email protected]
I had a chance to fly a DA-40 Diamond Star quite a bit over the
holidays, to give some young eagles rides to kids in the family. After
flying this plane, I'd have to say I much prefer it to either the 172
or Archer. The only downside I found was that the headroom in the front
seats is just barely...

Backup attitude indicator on older Cirrus by
[email protected][_1_]
Has anyone seen an installation of a backup attitude indicator in an
older Cirrus without the PFD? Every panel I've seen has the same
layout, and there doesn't appear to be any extra space. It looks like
an HSI could be installed and the space for the CDI/Glideslope could
be used for an attitude...

Changing transponder light by
[email protected][_1_]
The transmit light has gone out on my King transponder. I know the
transponder is working alright because ATC reads it just fine. Before
I pay an exorbitant amount to an avionics shop for a new bulb, is this
bulb something I can easily find and change myself? (have to admit I
didn't have time to...

Choosing a paint shop near Ohio, Michigan, or Indiana by

I'd like to get some paint work done on my plane, and I was wondering
if anyone has recommended paint shops in the Ohio, Michigan, Indiana
area. The plane is a warbird that is mostly bare aluminum. I want to
get the insignia, stripes, and wheelwells re-done. Any recommendations
would be...

Cessna 182 by

Group:
I'm in the market for an older Cessna 182.
Preferably with low or mid-time engine and prop, STOL, Clevelands, one-
piece windshield, decent radios and encoding transponder.
Paint and interior not that important.
Anyone out there looking to sell, or know of one?

The valve is Piper # 492-068, made by HOOf under their # A73V.

I thought I had posted this last week, but it appears it never got to
the Usenet at large so here's try #2. After all the praise Jack
Allison's been getting on his new bird, I've become a little jealous.
(And what a nice bird it is Jack)

Another expensive annual this year by
[email protected]
Our first annual last year increased our plane ownership cost by 50%
(engine overhaul, prop governor overhaul + few other big ticket
replacement parts + labor). When Rick and I tallied up all the things
we want our AP to do this year, it looked like we have to reach deep
into our pockets...
