Our support of that RAT HOLE Israel has BANKRUPTED this nation! The MORON in the whitehouse got us involved in Iraq, fighting JEW wars to the tune of $ 500 billion +++++ and counting! The MORON in the white house is trying to get us to fight ANOTHER JEW war with Iran! To Pay for this the...

Mary and I just returned from 6 glorious days at Sun N Fun in Lakeland, FL, where we enjoyed the most amazingly perfect weather I have ever seen at such an event. The nights were cool (almost cold the first few nights) -- perfect for sleeping -- and the days were sunny and warm. No humidity, no...

Flyers, While flying to FL from NJ last week I did what I always do and fly ROP by 75 to 100 degrees. This is how I was trained and my CFII is also my A&P / IA. I know enough about LOP to know I will not operate LOP without an engine analyzer and probably GAMI injectors which I do not yet...

A small oil leak has shown up topside and immediately behind the nosebowl on my Zodiac 601 HD powered with a C85. As near as can be seen, the crankcase nipple connection and hose leading to the air/oil separator is not "wet" or showing leakage. Neither the hose nor air/oil separator are...

Good day, I understand that the seized aircraft that are used for drug running are often sold or auctioned. I am particularly interested in Cessna 172's. Does anybody have any contact or website details on these aircraft? A collegue of mine who I have lost contact with bought a King Air from this...

Niche auction for aviation...they just went live... Can it compete with eBay? Your thoughts? http://www.aerobid.net

I ahve been reading about Garmin G600 "galss cockpit" for a while butthe information has been VERY limited. I am thinking about upgrading my M20S but have hd problems even estimating potential costs. Any pointers here ? Thanks a lot in advance

The KT-76A finally went tango uniform so I'm getting a Garmin GTX-320A with the adapter for the King transponder. Actually, the KT-76A still works but it takes 45 minutes to an hour for it to warm up so it's equivalent to dead. Has anyone out there gone the slide-in replacement route on the...

WOW!! Been flying my 150 /150 almost every day for the past week and the ONLY planes flying seem to be this class of aircraft. ( 150', 172',s ultra lites, small pipers, etc) I LOVE my 150/150 !! sipps MOGAS & Get this!!! a 12 year old kid and a screw driver can fix just about any problem on...

WOW!! Flew my Cessna '150/150 (Sipping MOGAS) today to the local airport to get some maint items done. FBO told me the only airplanes flying anymore are 150's, 172's, small pipers and a few other single engine MOGAS sipping airplanes!! T hangers are full of NON flying 100 LL gas guzzlers...

I have an old Sensenich 74" propeller (I think from a 172) that was a hand-me-down gift from another pilot. The prop did not pass its inspection, and although it does not look it - the prop is no longer airworthy. I have had it hanging in my garage for a few years, and have decided it would be...

PA32R-300 Lance with factory fresh Lycoming OH IO540-K. After installing a JPI 800, with fuel flow transducer, the factory Piper and the JPI fuel flow only indicate 5-6gph fuel flow with the electric boost pump rather than the normal 10gph during normal start procedures. The engine driven...

http://www.ionaircraft.com/Toucan.jpg The GREEN (aluminum) parts need polishing. What's a good 1-2-3-4-5.... step process for polishing up the aluminum wings - for OSH? http://www.ionaircraft.com/engineering.html This will be my first time doing this, so don't skimp on the details please.

Does anyone in the group have any information, experience, or links to documentation concerning a recent (past 6 months) change in Field Approval Guidance for FSDO Inspectors requiring that they seek FAA engineering advice and guidance, but not necessarily DER approval, on each and every...

My nose wheel pant is damaged. A body shop quoted me around $450 to fix & paint it, and new ones from Cessna are over $1k. Used are available on E-Bay for much less, and they all seem to say the same thing - "should fit any 172 & 182, but do your own research". The parts manager at my FBO said it...

What should a Cessna / Piper / Commander driver look out for on the original '47 BE35 (and I don't mean performance wise)? Where are some of the corners to be avoided? What special attention needs to be paid to the airframe? I'm looking at the ABS site now, but could use some additional...

Guys, I am trying to figure out how to extend the cable for the 396 antenna so i can route the cable in the right way... Have you guys seen a mini usb extension cord or connectors? Or can I simply cut the cord and splice in a foot or so? Let me know what you think?

The airplane I fly (Mooney M20C) has a two place intercom. I have a Pilot PA-400 3BL portable 4 place intercom, to allow 4 headsets to be connected. I bought it used and don't have a manual. So, first, does anyone know where I can find a copy of the manual, either for purchase or online? It...

Most owners, I assume, have corporations which do the actual owning and which provide a liability firewall. But how are taxes managed? The issue I think I'm facing is we pay money into the corporation against future events like overhaul, repainting, etc. These monies add up. But since this is...

How close should an altimeter be to field elevation when set to the pressure indicated by the field's AWOS? I'm seeing a 50' error.
