Tanis Pre-heater with Engine Analyzer by
O. Sami Saydjari
Does anyone out there have experience with having installed a tanis
heater when a engine analyzer is already in place. I have a JPI Classic
Scanner (EGT/CHT) that had bayonnet-type probee for CHT. Tanis has a
kit designed for this sitation, but after we installed the kit, none of
the CHT readings...

ADF Problem by
tony roberts
Hi
Today I was flying north and my ADF was tuned to an NDB.
The needle pointed at 330 degrees (or 11 O'clock) until I reached the
NDB, and then it swung until it pointed behind.
I dialed up the next NDB and it pointed at 330 again until passage.
And I dialed up another NDB - same indication - all...

My experience with Peltor by
[email protected]
I have a Peltor Stratosphere ANR headset. I like it a lot. It's
powered from a 9v batter that is in one of the ear cups.
Well lately I noticed the headset was intermittently cutting on and
off as I twisted my head. I easily isolated the problem to the cord.
The good thing is, the cord has a...

IOF 240 Engine-Would it run if the batteries fail? by
Piperflyer
Liberty XL2 has the Continetal IOF 240 with FADEC. Would the engine run if
the batteries failed? It does not have a magneto. Would the ignition system
run off of the alternator? The salesman at Sun-n-fun had no clue. Does
anyone know?

Piper Lance pros/cons? by
Frode Berg
Hi!
I just started looking at the Piper Lance.
It looks nice performance wise (both Turbo and non turbo model) and it looks
like a more natural next step for someone like me owning an old Arrow with
the retracts than the Cherokee 6's.
Anyone got any pros or cons regarding this model?
How does...

Autogas STC Paperwork by
Al Gilson
Our 1964 Skyhawk has a placard by the fuel cap indicating that it is
approved for unleaded auto fuel. However, I don't have any paperwork
showing that it has an STC for autofuel. Any ideas on how I could
research this information? Or...is the placard all I need?
Thanks.

Fuel economy help by
G.R. Patterson III
Just saw an article by AP. It seems that Auburn University has made a breakthrough
in fuel cell research. They now have a practical way of catalytically separating
the hydrogen from the carbon and sulphur in conventional fuels such as diesel.
When used in a vehicle equipped with a fuel cell, fuel...

Paul Young
Hello all...
I keep seeing the different letter variants for C-172 airplanes (e.g.,
Cessna 172L, Cessna 172N) but I have no idea how different is which
variant from each other... Is there any website or other resource where
I can find specs for each of the Cessna 172 variants...? Any info

AeroStar Fuel system? by
Al G[_1_]
Could someone fill me in on the Aerostar fuel system? The one in
question is a 602P.
IIRC, Ted Smith designed it as a "Leave it alone and burn all the fuel
in the airplane" type system.
But wasn't there a lawsuit over one years ago?

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...

Flying into Canada by
O. Sami Saydjari
I expect this question has been asked many times here....but here goes.
Exactly what, if anything, do I need if I want to fly into Canada?
Does the answer change if I want to land in Canada or if I am just
flying through their airspace? I expect to be on an IFR flight plan, so
I will already have...

IFR GPS certification by
nobody
Sorry about the x-post but didn't know where to ask the question.
I guess I've been living under a rock. I wanted to update the VFR GPS in
the panel to an IFR model. I started getting quotes on recon GNC 300XLs.
The units themselves were about 2,500-3,000. I was shocked to find out that
I had...

Nashua Festival, Avidyne and WSI by

Hi all,
Went to the Nashua, NH (KASH) Aviation Festival today, which was pretty
well organized. I'm a Daniel Webster Alum so it was nice to see not
only the displays they sponsored but also all the buildings my tuition
built. :-)
The festival is largely a static display, which is nice because...

Cheap OX recomendations by
Guy Byars
On a trip last week, we flew for 3 hours at 10,000ft. Afterward my wife
complained of fatigue and at times during the flight she complained that she
couldn't "get enough air". I am thinking that supplemental OX for her would
be helpful. I checked the Aerox systems and the other systems, but...

Panel paint for a Piper Tomahawk by

I need to paint my Tomahawk's panel (metal not plastic unlike my

AnywhereWX??? by

After considerable research, I have pretty much written off adding weather
to my Garmin 530 right now. It looks like the GDL-49 just doesn't do what I
want, and is too susceptable to interference for efficient delivery of
detailed weather, and you have to add another damned VHF antenna (which
