Wierd vibration -- Prop or engine, balance or not??? by
Chuck
Hi guys & gals,
I purchased an older Cherokee 180 with a Lycoming O-360A4A and
Sensitech propeller. Unfortunately, I'm not sure on of the prop model
as I haven't pulled the cone yet.
Since I purchased my Cherokee, there has been a slight vibration in it
while running and flying. The first...

WiFi at AirVenture (was:Does your airport WiFi?) by
Dave Butler
On a related note: there was a thread here earlier about wireless access at
Oshkosh. IIRC the sad conclusion was that there was no access very nearby.
I wonder whether anyone has contacted EAA and requested that they get on the
stick and provide WiFi on the North 40.
Is there any chance EAA would...

Will a Starduster Too suit our mission ? by
Roy Page
We have decided to buy an aerobatic plane just for the fun of flying and
getting proficient at some simple aerobatics.
A Starduster Too is available locally and we are wondering if this group has
any experience of owning one of these pretty biplanes ?
As Piper Archer drivers, without tailwheel...

will this fly? by
Lee Elson
Please excuse the cross post, but the topic might be of interest to
several groups.
I'm wondering whether providing light aircraft transportation services
(people and/or cargo) and consulting to small businesses is likely to
be a successful approach to setting up a very small aviation business.

winch pull of plane into hanger by
[email protected]
I am back to pulling the warrior back into the hanger with a winch. I
tried modifying a small briggs and stratton powered "mule" to the
cherokee towbar attachment but could not get the control I wanted.
So now, I need the experience of anyone else who has rigged up a winch
with extended control. ...

Wind/Solar Electrics ??? by
RST Engineering
After much thought and ponderance, I've come to the conclusion that to
electrify the hangar using Pacific Gas & Electricity (PG&E -- Pigs, Goats,
and Elephants) isn't clever. By the time you get them to hang a meter
($5k), trench from the power pole to the end of the row of hangars, conduit
romex...

Window seal by
Hankal
Just installed new window seals in my Cessna 172. My AP was also involved to
make sure they fit properly. Yesterday while at 5500 my wife (copilot)
complained about a draft on her face. We determined it came front the front of
the widow. I checked today and found a small gap which would let air...

Window trimming techniques by
Jim Burns
While our prop is out for some work, we're putting new 1/4" LP Aero side
windows in the Aztec. A couple of the windows need to be trimmed to fit
properly. What methods have proved to be the most successful? Band saw?
cut off wheel? Any others? We need to take about 1/4" to 3/8" off around
two...

windows by

Warrior Windows.
A few weeks ago I asked if anyone has had any experience polishing out
damage to plexiglas windows caused by a sloppy painter who got paint
stripper on the plastic. No one has so I will answer my own question.
No, the penetration is deep enough that the remedy will be...

Windshield cleaning by
OSKI 3
I don't know how many folks I have talked to, do NOT know about.
Bounty paper towels (MICROWAVE/COOKING). I have used these for 15
years and have not had to replace a windshield yet. These towels are
specifically for Microwave use and have No metal recycled crap in them.
A lot better than trying...

Windshield Haze by
Kyle Boatright
I've noticed that the windscreen and canopy on my RV-6 has developed a haze
on its exterior.
The history of the canopy is that the canopy was manufactured about 7 years
ago, with the airplane first flying about 5 years ago. The airplane has
always been hangared (other than the occasional overnight...

Windshield replacement by
Jim Burns
When we purchased our Aztec, one of the things that we promised to
update/upgrade/replace was the two piece windshield with a new 1/4" one
piece. This will raise our compass up and move our OAT gauge to the pilot's
side window.
Well, today it came and is sitting in my computer room. I've got the...

Windshield sealant by
Mike Noel
I need to seal my plexiglass windshield in a few spots and happen to have
some GE Silcone II sealant on hand. It is spec'd as low odor but releases
methanol and ammonia as it cures. I have seen warnings against using
regular silicone sealant since the acetic acid it releases can corrode
aluminum,...

windshield wipers by
tony roberts
When I was in flight school I asked why GA aircraft don't have
windshield wipers and was told that it's because the prop blows the rain
off - really - that's what they told me.
Now I fly lots in rain. This past 2 weeks I have flown in more rain than
I ever wanted to see - and the prop definitely...

Wing covering lifespan? by
Michael Horowitz
Over the life of a fabric a/c, it will undoubtedly go thru owners that
hanger it, others that tie it down.
For the purposes of estimating the cost of said a/c, what is a

Wing Covers Pro/Cons by

Just purchased my first plane and have it tied down. It has a canopy cover
but no wing covers. Walking around the airport I only notice one other
plane with wing covers. I would have thought wing covers would be good
protection. During the wnter the rentals would have them to prevent frost...
