Hello, Has anyone have first hand experience with both the Argus 5000 and Argus 5000ce. I know a lot of users have transitioned to the CE, but functionality-wise they are about the same. (minus the color, of course) My biggest issue is that I sometime deplore the contrast of my 5000 unit,...

What do the letters A&P/IA stand for exactly? I know it's the mechanic but I'm researching a documentary film and looking for the full name. Thank you, Jean-Paul Travers

I was just reading both the land lease, and hangar keeper agreements for the now City owned Morey Airport. (C29), and they both state: "The Lessee further agrees not to transport, or cause to be transported, onto airport premises, gasoline or other flammable fluids for the purpose of self-fueling...

When a title search is done, the company often offeres to provide a history of accidents in which the a/c was involved. Googling for 'FAA Accidents" I see what appears to be a wide range of choices. Anyone know which db contains the information showing what accidents a specific a/c may have been...

I recently took a flight that brought me back in the late evening hours, and in a hurry, I was a little remiss in my checklist of securing the plane after shutdown. Landing light, taxi light, strobes, beacon, nav lights and transponder were all left on, but the master was shut off. A few days...

Hi, I own a 1967 Cherokee 235B and am in need of a prop cable. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a PMA'd new one, or a salvage company that may have one? I've tried Aircraft Spruce, and McFarlands and neither have a PMA'd cable for early Pipers as well as a couple salvage company's...

UPDATED VERSION. Even if you read this before, you should read it again since I UPDATED it with more EXPLOSIVE DETAILS about these UNDERCOVER FBI and NSA PSYCHOPATHS. FBI PUSSIES went and INTERROGATED a 14 yr old WHITE girl pulling her from her classroom in california for posting a picture with...

The FAA has just issued an emergency AD that appears to ground _all_ Beech T-34 aircraft, all models, until further notice, after confirming that the Texas Air Aces T-34 that went down a few days ago suffered a wing separation. It only allows a few hours of flight under very strict restrictions to...

Just watched the trailer for Secondhand Lions. http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/secondhand_lions/shl_trlr_med.html The movie is showing this week at our favorite "Dollar Theater" (Ok - $2) http://riverviewtheater.com/history.cfm The rec.aviation scene is at the end of the Secondhand Lions...

If you live in a country that does DD/MM/YY, then this year is Boeing's year. Let me explain. April 7, 2007 7/4/07 will be 747 May 7, 2007 7/5/07 will be 757 June 7, 2007 7/6/07 will be 767 July 7, 2007 7/7/07 will be 777 - the best one of them all! August 7, 2007 will be 787 Boeing should...

Gang: One of the wingtip strobes on our 1982 Warrior II looks like it is going bad. Half of it looks black and it only gives one blink per second while the other wing gives two blinks per second. I was perusing the Whelen catalog, and our strobe lamp assembly appears to have a pigtail terminating...

Well, it's final--as of last Monday, I can post to r.a.OWNing without feeling like I snuck in.... Yep, I am officially an airplane owner!! I flew (airlines) to Hartford last Sunday and finalized the sale on Monday. N2509X is the world's most beautiful aircraft--and, I will brook no argument to...

I need to get my carb rebuilt. It's a Marvel MA4-5 off an O-540. Somehow it floods to the point of not running (longer story possibly in another post). I'd like to find out why this is happening so that besides just getting an overhaul I actually know it won't flood again. I don't care if it...

After weeks of unrelenting, never-ending bad weather, with freezing rain, sleet, fog, snow, high winds, low visibility, and low ceilings, I decided to have the plane annualed early. I mean, what the heck -- the weather has been horrendous anyway, right? Why screw up summer and wait till...

I was thinking about getting my A&P license to help me become a better aircraft owner and pilot. I know a number of people out there have both and I was curious to hear about your story. For example, have you found it helpful as an owner and/or pilot? Did it take a long time to obtain? What are the...

Well, today I put a deposit on an airplane! It's a 1961 C-175B with an upgrade to an O360 with a constant speed prop. What a sweet plane, always hangared with 2268TT. I only will own 1/3 of it, but the other two partners only flew 200 hours in the last three years total. Can't wait to take her out....

I'm wondering if anyone here owns a Bonanza A36 (or any Bo with a similar wing structure) with high airframe time (10,000 hours)? I ask because my local A&P who rebuilds a lot of wrecked airplanes knows of an A36 that had a nose gear collapse and has been collecting dust in a hangar for the...

Does anyone know where I can get shielded, twisted pair, digital data wire that meets or exceeds MIL-W-27500? This is for data connections between a KDR-510 datalink receiver and a KMD-550 MFD. Aircraft Spruce does not have this, but they do have paired shielded wire, it's just not twisted.
