My club recently bought an S35 Bonanza with the optional "Landing Gear Safety System" installed. I've got the POH supplement that describes its operation, but nobody seems to know much about how it works. The gist is that when the airspeed and MP go below certain limits, it automatically extends...

Does anybody know about some quirkiness in the alternator 'idiot light' indicator? In my F-33A, it'll come on for a few seconds and extinguish. I've had it looked at twice...nothing loose, everything checks out fine, battery is charging and holding charge. But a couple of times in flight, it has...

I have a Bonanza F33A...turbonormalized IO-520BB. Can anyone tell me what are typical operating EGTs and CHTs in climb; at 65% cruise power; at 75% cruise power? What maximums should be observed in the climb for EGTs, CHTs, TIT, Oil? I constantly hear conflicting data and would be interested in...

Anyone know if the later model 35 nose gear can be installed on the earlier model 35 Bonanzas? My B35 nose gear was damaged in a little MX mishap and I'm in need of a new assembly including the casting. The availability of the older style is pretty scarce and I've seen at least one bonanza C35 with...

Today I spotted two four inch and one six inch vertical cracks in the side window at the seat directly behind the pilot seat. The cracks are almost perfectly straight and originate at the top frame more or less in the middle of the window. The aircraft is a 1973 V35B and I would imagine that...

I have permission from AMACOM Books to distribute an excerpt from "The Wright Way: 7 Problem-Solving Principles from the Wright Brothers," a new book by Mark Eppler. Published to coincide with the Centennial of Flight (December 17), "The Wright Way" celebrates the contributions of Orville and...

Not a substitute for the Overhaul manual This book contains an overview of maintenance and overhaul for the WWII-era-technology air-cooled Lycoming engines which unfortunately still power the vast majority of personal aircraft in the world. It is useful to people who have worked on other...

"Owning a personal aircraft,except for a very few people in unusual circumstances, simply does not make economic sense. It's a toy and, invariably, an expensive one. However, for those who want to fly, it's the best toy in the world, a source of immense satisfaction. Sadly, many people try to make...

I just broke down and ordered a Bose Aviation Headset X. I have been wanting one for several years but 1 AMU is a lot of cash for a headset... Then I remembered how deaf I am becomming adnd thought that this would be the best protection for my non-renewable hearing. I already have a set of David...

I have a 2 pairs of Lightspeed 20xl and I'm thinking of upgrading to the new 30 G3 or switching to a Bose X instead. Can anyone tell me if the Bose are stereo and if so how they sound with music imputs on a Garmin 340. If I go Bose I'll be mixing one Bose and one Lightspeed. Will this cause a...

For about three months I have owned both the Bose X headset and the new LightSPEED Zulu headset (actually, three of them). Because of this, I've been asked elsewhere a number of times for my impressions of the two, so I finally sat down to write it up. It is admittedly long, but I hope it helps a...

Ah, well, hey, it's done now. I've got one! A nice '79 152 with a decent mid-time engine. Well, not entirely done yet but close. Here's the story. After I decided to bail on the 150 I had the pre-buy on I was itchy (not a great thing, I know) to find myself an airplane. I pored over all...

So I put a deposit down on N4261J, a Piper Cherokee 140 (that I mentioned in an earlier post). The previous owner had nicknamed her 'Julie' (for obvious reasons)... My fiancee fell in love with the name so I think it's stuck;) I don't think I have ever been quite so excited, I feel like a...
