Can anyone describe the way the rudder stop mod on Cessna 150s should look? I went to rent a 150 and the way the AD was incorporated didn't look right so I passed on the flight. The stops were attached to the rudder horn (? the curved metal portion) by drilling three holes and riveting the stops...

Sorry for the cross-posting, Guys and Gals, but I'm appealing for your help -- NOW. Our City Council will be deciding THIS WEEK whether or not to put the dissolution of our independent airport commission on the ballot this fall. If this goes to the ballot, the damage done to our airport may...

I recently purchased my first a/c, unfortunately it only has a 2 place intercom. I don't really want to go through the trouble of installing a four place intercom for the few occasions that I take backseat passengers. I have looked (online) at the portable intercom systems but I am not sure how...

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...

Anyone have good referals for a facility in the NE US that does Malibu/Mirage initial training? Motion Sim or the real thing.

If anyone has parts manuals for the newer model Saratoga IIHP/IITC (1995-2004), I'm looking for the part number(s) for the interior wall panels for: 1.) Door 2.) right side 3.) right rear 4.) pilot side panel 5.) mid left side 6.) cargo door

All, I was recently perusing through some of the newer Trade-A-Plane listings, and I saw tons of old Bonanzas. Within the last 3 days of listings, there were probably 10 or more. From previous threads in this newsgroup, I have read that the older Bo's are expensive to maintain, typically due to...

Volmer owner in Minneapolis is looking for an A&P or AI to do a condition inspection. Aeronca specialist preferred, due to wings and tail being off Champ. Thanks, Andy

In my continuing effort to plug all the oil leaks in my Continental 0-300 I have a final question about wet vacuum pumps. How much oil out the vent is too much? This is a '61 C-172 with the factory standard oil recovery system off the wet vac. About twice as much oil comes out the vacuum vent as...

The engines/props were stolen off a twin that had been sitting for 4 years (the auction of the plane is on Ebay). Just wondering if the serial numbers are in a FAA or maintenance database somewhere and could be traced as to where they are now. Any other ideas how to find them? If they were shipped...

Apparently the preferred way to bond brake linings in Shinn brakes is to use rivets. I got my a/c with the linings epoxied(?)in place. 1. Is one fastening method prefered over the other? 2. Can I use heat to remove the current linings? 3. Any particular epoxy to use? Any danger of the lining...

The wet compass in my Cessna 150 has suddenly decided to indicate way off. I took it off the dash mount and it reads nearly correctly when moved about 12" away from the instrument panel, and even better when out in the open by itself. I got another wet compass from a friend, and as I moved it near...

My Cherokee is in the paint shop, due out in a few weeks. Looking for suggestions on maintaining a new Imron finish... Of course, I will solicit input from the paintshop as well. The plane is hangared, and only sits outside when on trips, so I figure that is a good start. Many people do not...

"Jeremy Lew" wrote in message ... Was flying IFR in the clear on top of an overcast layer today. I noticed at some point that the ammeter was indicating zero, and not moving. The Alt warning light was not illuminated, except when I...

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...

Does anyone know how to go about trouble shooting a Whelan strobe light? It is on a Piper Cherokee and is the "beacon" of the airplane. I had an extra bulb I don't know the status of and swapped it out, but still didn't get any emission. I'm thinking that its probably the unit, but I don't know...

I believe that most engines have a "power enrichment" device that enriches the mixture beyond "full rich" on take-off. 1. Is this true for both carburetor and injected engines? 2. What activates it? It it the position of the throttle lever, some sort of MP differential, or something else?
