Why do prices for different variations of the same engine vary significantly? For example, factoryengines.com lists about 200 different variations of the TSIO520 for many different airframes. Many datapoints between the high and low costs can be found, and of course, you generally pay more for...

Vlado Lenoch, P-51 Mustang owner/pilot, air show performer, and all-around good guy, was nice enough to donate some P-51 parts for our new "Mustang Suite." (See it at http://alexisparkinn.com/the_mustang_suite.htm ) I'm making a wall-mounted display plaque for them that will lend some...

With all the hoopla about the recent discussions regarding sending people to the planets, I thought I'd share with you something that I've kept in my safe deposit box for some time now. www.rstengineering.com/geek has a third-generation photo master scanned original of the plaque on Apollo 11. I...

I will be traveling Feb 25th until March 31st from Montgomery Alabama to Duesseldorf Germany. I am looking for a flight roundtrip for around $300. If you know of anyone who has a ticket that they want to sell please let me know at . Thank you

I would like to buy a fuel truck! 5,000 to 10,000 gallon preferred. I have been watching ebay and rbauction.com and I was wondering if anyone knew of other sources? How can I find out if the government is selling one? Thanks! Mike MU-2

I have a chance to buy a 63 aztec in rough condition. It would be my first plane. Engines have 1200 smoh but one has a cracked cylinder. (estimated repair, $5000?) Paint is poor. ($5000 estimate?) Interior is poor ($5000 estimate?). Brand new props. Only 1 nav/com. older avionics. Auto pilot...

I just replaced the nose tire after 6 years 798 landings. Do I have the record? It was ( and the new is) an Aero Trainer so, you see, I only use the best. :-) Chuck

Despite a very favorable service profile, careful preheating, and frequent lifter inspection, the engine in our 172 N has fallen victim to the sudden lifter face disintegration that the Lycoming O-320 H2AD is especially prone to. Conventional wisdom is that his problem is the result of poor...

We put a fresh battery in our plane for the winter starting season even though the old one was in good shape. On advice from several sources, I put the old one on a Sears trickle charger as a spare. The charger claims to sense the battery condition and be suitable for long term connections. I...

In 1984 Beech did a major upgrade to the panel on A-36 Bonanzas and B-58 Barons, getting rid of the high-mounted throttle quadrant and control column boom and installing a conventional throttle quadrant and individual control columns. Beech didn't make this change to the F-33 Bonanza or the B-55...

Folks, I have ADDED yet even more treasures and rare finds to my list of items for sale on ebay. The existing auctions are going well, and thank you to any newsgroup readers who are bidding. Lots of stuff is still priced way below equivalent new or replacement cost. I have just tonight added a...

I'm in the throes of a big decision on my next airplane. One airplane in consideration is an MU-2, probably a short body version from the early to mid 1970s. I have been able to find detailed information, gossip, opinions, local pilots, and so forth on my other candidate types (like a Cessna...

Any advice on how to change a nav light on/off switch. It's attached to the roller knob that also controls the panel lights. I don't see any obvious way to remove it from the front, and the back is not easy to get a look at while lying next to the rudder pedals. I can get the lights to come on...

I have an interesting decision to make. I'm soliciting opinions and your perspectives. I have a nice Beech A36 Bonanza. It is a 1980 in good shape. 3000 hrs ttaf, 575 smoh, I am second owner, mostly origional style avionics (KNS80, ARNAV GPS, Argus 5000, WX10, King coms, nav , and ADF. It is a...

I'm wondering what everyone else's definition of "Damage History" is. After looking through Ebay for a Cessna 172 I ran across this description: Complete Logs, Computerized AD List, Logs reflect no history of damage except: 11/2/95 Off airport landing; Wings, rudder & vertical fin replaced...

I just installed a Michel TKM MX 11r which is a direct slide-in replacement for my Narco 120 Comm. Because I have an intercom, I had to add a resistor to the circuit board. Having done this, I installed the radio in the old Narco tray and tested the radio: Findings: 1/ Comm works great with...
