Altnerator and landing light by
Robert M. Gary
I have a 70amp alternator in my Mooney. I find that when I turn on the
landing light, the voltage drops down to around 13.0 volts or less.
During off the landing light brings it back to 14.5 volts. The Mooney
Factory Service Center is telling me this is normal. They said Mooney
didn't design the...

Preliminary planning for AK flight by
[email protected]
Hey all... I saw the other post on a "long x-c" and figured I'd throw this in
for thought (and not hijack his thread). One of my plane partners and I are planning
to fly to Alaska this upcoming summer. I'm from there, and have driven the Alaska
highway a number of times, but he's never been...

Suggestions for Organizing Aircraft Documents? by
CDP_bayarea
Pending completion of the pre-buy/annual inspections I'm about to
become 1/2 owner of a Cherokee. My partner is the current owner of the
aircraft and she also owns an aerobatic plane. My guess is that I will
end up taking over the record keeping etc. on the plane. Mainly
because I want to.
I...

Replacing an ADF sense antenna by
David Reinhart
The sense antenna on our Cardinal broke right at the crimp connector
that attaches to the feedthrough insulator at the top front of the
airplane. This thing appears to be made of 18 gauge copperweld wire.
Since I still have the antenna and can pull measurements from it, is
there any reason I can't...

Why not a hinged panel? by
Jay Honeck
As many of you may recall, we had the Skycraft landing lights installed
in our 235 last month. During our first night flight with them last
week we popped the 5 amp circuit breaker for the left side panel
lights.
This had no effect on the landing lights, which continued to work
perfectly (and,...

PIREP Extreme Simple Green Aviaiton cleaner by
Mike Rapoport
I was given a bottle of this stuff at NBAA and today I tried it out for the
first time. The "problem cleaning" areas on a MU-2 are the outer portions
of the horizontal stabilizer. The grime is a combination of carbon from the
exhaust, carbon from the starter-generator and prop-heat brushes...

roll servo location in Aztec by
Jim Burns
Wondering if anybody knows the normal location of the roll servo for an
S-Tec autopilot in an Aztec. We're having some roll oscillation problems
and we'd like to examine the electrical connections and the motor brushes if
possible.
Thanks

WI airport closure by
Jay Honeck
The village of Grantsburg, WI is considering closing their public
municipal
airport.
Does Grantsburg have a local AOPA rep? If not, someone there needs to
step up to the plate and become one. AOPA has a lot of clout that can
be brought to bear on Federal, State and local officials in these...

Question of Location... by
Robbie S.
I am a student pilot with about 60 hours starting out on x-country work
right now. I recently bought a C182 Skylane and decided to keep it at an
airport that is 18 NM from my training airport for the simple reason that
the monthly cost of the hanger rental was $155 cheaper. I asked my CFI to
let...

WI airport closure by
Mike Spera
The letter is nice, but you might consider a little stronger approach if
you are a voting resident. Tell the council chief and/or the members
WIIFM (What's in it for me - or in this case... them). If these are
elected officials who wish to stay elected officials (and most do), you
might approach...
