I am not a shill for Jim Weir but am interested in his audio panel kit. How difficult are they to put together? I'm not an EE but I do enjoy tinkering with cars and planes. I just bought a second Nav/Com and thought an audio panel acquisition should be in order next (airplane currently has...

Strange story. Why would the Navy care about a plane that crashed and was destroyed 60 years ago? If they really want it they should *reward* the guy who dragged it out of a swamp for them and started restoring it, not sue him! Unless there is more to the story not mentioned here (e.g. they...

Hello, My father and I are looking for a place that sells featherlight airplanes. The make-it-yourself kind. We are just wondering if anyone has a new or used one to sell or where we can find one to sell. We have seen them at teh Weirs Beach in New...

Ah, well, hey, it's done now. I've got one! A nice '79 152 with a decent mid-time engine. Well, not entirely done yet but close. Here's the story. After I decided to bail on the 150 I had the pre-buy on I was itchy (not a great thing, I know) to find myself an airplane. I pored over all...

I think this kind of "dynamic" test might show problems (such as valves not opening all the way), that a leakdown test would not (and vice-versa). Anyway my annual is coming up and I want to do it. I imagine something...

The nose-wheel cowling is pretty worn (looks like it's been glued several times) and the paint is original & drab....
