I am now able to reproduce my charging problem. Engine off, Bat and Alt on: Bus voltage: 24.8 Supply to Voltage Regulator: 22.6 Voltage Regulator Output to Alt Field: 21.6 I'm thinking maybe I should rig a jumper from Bus to the Voltage regulator to see if the problem has to do with that 2.2v...

We have a 78 Centurion which has developed a fuel "drip" underneath, from some kind of drain tube protruding from under the fuselage on the left side, about 12-18" behind the nose wheel opening. I am trying to figure out what this line is coming from or is for. It is not the fuel strainer...

We have a Cessna 210M with an IO-520L, which is rated for 285hp continuous, but 300hp for 5 minutes. The cruise power tables show "% BHP"-- is that percentage of 285, or 300? I would assume 285, but does anyone know for sure? Thanks! John Clonts Temple, Texas

I am thinking about acquiring a 340. However, it is looking a little difficult to get hangar space around for a while at least. How should I think about tie down versus hangar in terms of additional maintenance/risk etc? What experiences do other people have on this topic? Also what can I do to...

I am trying to decide between those 2. I am tempted towards the 340 because of the high ceiling and towards the 421 because of the more space. I am dubious about cabin legroom in the 340. I am 6'2". cheers Bernhard

Is there any place that sells new knobs for radios? I am installing faceplate restoration panels on my '300' series transponder and ADF, and the ADF knobs are pretty clapped out. TIA -- Ben C-172 - N13258 @ 87Y

Hello everyone. It's getting a little chilly around here now; I have seen the "ventubes" that are being sold for $75 apiece. Has anyone simply taped over the inlet in the wing root? I was thinking of giving this a try, seeing that there is no real need for cold air ventilation at this time...

Considering the purchase of a new (2005, 2006,) C182. I would prefer not to have the Glass cockpit as I have heard some fairly strong evidence that the software is still two years behind the hardware and the system is problematic. Specifically, I understand that there have been numerous events...

Anybody got a recommendation for an avionics shop in New England that does a good job with Cessna autopilots? VIP Avionics at HFD is not an option. Thanks. Dave Reinhart

I was looking for a super...

I see on AvWeb that Cessna is, at least, in talks to buy some or all of Columbia Aircraft. Otherwise Columbia is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. (Is that round #2 of Chap. 11?) Apparently Cessna will accept product liability for the aircraft built so far and some of Columbia's debt. I wonder...
