Usually the hand on my ammeter bounces for a few moments while taxing and then settles down at about 20 amps. Yesterday it continued to be erratic with a few calm moments with the hand indicating 10 amps. The ammeter has 1976 stamped on the back. Do these things ever wear out? Is there any way...

I have not been able to find through regular channels a copy of the old FAA Advisory Circular 20-98, titled (I believe) Auxiliary Two-Way Airborne Radio System Installations, dated 5/23/77. I will pay $50US to the first person who agrees to send me an original paper copy of this...

I may have missed something as I caught only a little of the PBS program due to the band opening and catching a bit from a station I don't normally get. It looked like they were making Daily out to be the environmentally friendly hero winning out over the pilots and turning the airport into the...

During the preflight of my '66 172G last night, the fuel selector linkage broke where the upper shaft connects to the mid shaft at the knuckle. One of the 'ears' that are riveted to the upper shaft broke completely and the fastener that holds the other to the knuckle became unattached. I have a...

Hello everyone. I was looking under the cowling of the 152 the other day, and I noticed that the ground wire from the left magneto was broken. The end of it looked like it was frayed and burned. However, when I did a mag check I got the normal RPM drop on each magneto. I also was able to...

All side and rear windows in my 172 need replacement. I'm thinking of installing bubble windows on the right front and left front for better visibility. Anyone know about cost premium or speed penalty of these over flat windows? If the penalty is no more than a few knots it's probably worth it,...

I'm a PVT, IFR pilot, but fairly low time at 350 hours, mostly in various fixed gear PA28's. I'm interested in buying an entry level retractable. I'd like to use it to get my commercial certificate, and maybe go on to my CFI/CFII. But the primary mission would be to haul my wife, 1 year old son...

I have a meeting right by IAH. Is it reasonable to fly a little plane there? Is there a GA runway? Rental cars? Otherwise I'll fly into Weiser. TIA

I am considering building an RV-7A. I currently own an Arrow. I would like to have an airplane that will cruise at about 200, with a 200 Hp engine in order to keep the fuel burn numbers within reason. Is the RV the way to go or am I missing something?? Any words of wisdom would be greatly...

The Mighty Grape -- subject of magazine articles...

Today a pilot-guest had the coolest idea for the side-entrance to our lobby: "Chasing" lights recessed in the drop-ceiling tiles, leading to the main lobby area, that look just like the "rabbit" lights that lead to the approach end of a runway! (Background: Over half of our guests come in the...
