In the long term, I'm planning on getting into a partnership on a single engine plane capable of carriyng 4 adults + luggage for a 500 mile trip. Before I get all the way into a partial ownership situation, I'd really like to spend some time flying some of the potential aircraft I'm interested in,...

George, I saw your Maule for sale on AOPA. Did I miss your post saying it was for sale? Upgrading? Downgrading? Anyway, I hope the Maule gets replaced ;-)

Hi, I just traced an autopilot problem to my 1B440-2 rate filter. A screw came out of the metal stand off, it slid down and shorted something out. For the time being I made a bypass cable from connectors I ordered from Newark.com and the autopilot functions but does oscillate sometimes. The...

Alright, here is a good one for you. Stene in Montana manufactures and sells very nice fiberglas tips for elevators, stabilizers, wings, and rudders, mostly for Pipers and Cessnas. You can find these parts advertised in TAP and on the internet. I have inspected, painted, and installed several...

After nearly a year away from the newsgroups, I am returning to seek the wisdom and advice from the NG. After 7 years and 670 hours later, I have sold my 1958 Cessna 310B and am looking for another plane. Although I loved flying the 310, I could no longer tolerate the absence of deice equipment and...

I recently got back into flying after a 12 year layoff. I am current, and flying high-performance singles (182). I have around 80 hours in high-performance planes, including retracts. I am currently building time to improve my skills and getting ready to take the next step. I am finally in a...

Question. Does having a private pilot single enging land qualify to get you a sport pilot ticket? Seems like it should but I have never read so. What do we have to do to get that ticket. As I get older and think of giving up the Archer, (and before losing my medical for some reason) the Sport...

Well, Fat Albert finally got liberated yesterday, just 6 days shy of two months in solitary at the mechanic's shop... The 'third times the charm' carburetor works like a champ... It didn't dump fuel all over the ramp... It didn't run lean on takeoff... It did shut down the engine when the mixture...

There has been much discussion about Home Depot fuel valves, homebrew wingtips, and the like. There has been much discussion about what is and what is not allowed by the regulations. Finally, somebody at the highest echelons of the FAA in Washington is trying to put some sense back in the...

You might take a look at http://www.ScienceOxygen.com/aviation204.html It does not sell Helicopter there, but it collects some links about Helicopter so that you could start looking for information from there.

Hi all, I'm wanting a front two-piece cowl for a 206. Free! A bent and twisted version very good. It's for a test on cooling. I need to cut it up so as to test if extra air will drop the temps significantly. ( forever have overheating CHT's in paradrop ops) I'll pay postage of course. Nige, South...

Someone else on this list just gave me the idea of asking. I'm trying to find a nice set of seats for the front of my Cherokee 180. It currently has the original low-back, not-very-adjustable seats. They only adjust front and back. I'd like to find some newer model seats -- the ones that have...

Does anyone know if there is an STC for use of auto fuel in a PA32-260. I've been unable to find one. At $3.30/gal for avgas at KBHM I've got to stop the bleeding a bit. Thanks in advance. Bruce McFadden Birmingham, AL PA32-260 N5594J

I'm getting really tired really fast of paying $3.30/gal for AvGas, I'm considering buying the STC to use MoGas in my aircraft. Does anyone have the STC and use auto gas. Do you have any comments, warnings or anything else on the subjuct. Thanks in advance. Bruce McFadden ...

Tell him to try it outside the hangar. ;-)) Jim Burns wrote: A friend of mine has a 12v Garmin 430 that simply does not pick up the satellites. It worked fine about 3 weeks ago (the last time he flew) but now it fails to find any satellite signals. One avionics tech said that it had...

Anyone know what it should cost to get a cs three blade prop inspected. Last overhaul in 1989, hours since 5.9 (yes 5.9). Aircraft stored majority of time in a hangar in a non-corrosive climate. No damage on props, paint still looks fresh (even on leading edge). What are the rules on prop...

I'm considering adding a second (backup) electric AI. The primary AI is vacuum driven so is the DG. Two questions: 1. Does adding a backup electric AI require an 337? 2. Does the electric AI needs to be TSO'ed? The plane will be used strictly for part 91 operations. Thanks! -M
