I've been out looking at the early Debonairs with the IO-470-J or -K in them. The books I've looked at and the info in TAP say they cruise at 148 knots (I'm assuming at 75% power), and I was wondering if there was anyone out there who had any "real" numbers on cruise speeds. Thanks! Chris

What is the accuracy of the average EGT gauge? Is it plus-or-minus 50 degrees or so? Is it possible to have them calibrated? If so, is it worth it to have it done periodically? It seems that alot is at stake if the gauges are not acurate. My PA-28R-201T POH says that temperatures of 1650...

I've been flying my 182 for the last 19 years and it's become just "transportation" and not "fun" anymore. So I'm thinking of buying an "airknocker" to fly for fun . Do any of you guys out there that have Aeronca experience have any tips or suggestions on what to look for in a pre-purchase for...

Am I hallucinating again, or did I read somewhere that you can have Lightspeed install a new cord on their headsets so they will take power from a panel mounted jack, rather than the in-cord battery box? I can't find relevant info on their website... -jav

Mike: If you're going to do the side panels, seriously consider what's between the side panels and the aluminum. If it's anything like my cherokee, it's disintegrating roofing insulation (or something that looks like it). You'll want to remove that stuff too and put better insulation. I'm leaning...

I've been having my oil analysis with Cleve Technical Center. Their charge was $18.40. They are now charging a $25 minimum. They offer 10 prepaid for $155. These charges seem high and I think that I remember some others getting oil analysis at a lesser cost. Comments? Chuck

Well, it's a mystery to me anyway. Does anyone know what brand and model, the nav/com, loran, adf, and dme are in the following photo? I'm sure the top nav/com is Collins vhf-251 and 351, but the nav/com below that one? And the others? Also, can anyone identify the transponder in the second...

Just finished the annual inspection on my 1963 172 this afternoon. It was the first time I had used this A+P to inspect my plane. I assisted and things went smoothly. It's interesting that a "new" set of eyes can see things that have been overlooked in the past. Anyway, the seat belts no longer...

Was in the Bay Area near San Fransciso last week and called an old friend to see if he wanted to go flying. Great, he says, meet me at my office at 4:00 PM and we'll go up. It's an absolutely beautiful afternoon. Cloudless sky, little haze, no wind, and green everywhere (it's the two weeks after...

Ok I have a signed bill of sale 8050-2 & a application for regestration 8050-1 now do I send $5.00 for each form or do i just send $5.00 to the faa in OKC, OK little confusing the way the forms read. Do i need to include any thing else with the forms like a letter? The AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE...

Anyone know how difficult it would be to register a Canadian registered a/c to US registration? David (KORL)

Reviewing some of the old posts on rec.aviation.owning, it appears that the conventional wisdom is that mixing of the gases is ok. What I foresee is that I can get 80 at my home field, but will need to top off or completely fill up with 100LL as I go along. Is this truly ok? Are people still...

Mike Spera wrote: but the current Apollo is vertical and does get in the way of the panel. The 195 looks even taller than the Apollo, so it may not be so good. I have a Cherokee 140 with bowtie yokes. Any good/bad reports in yoke mounting either unit? I have a 195...

Hi all, So are you required to get a transponder test any time the static system has been opened (for VFR flight)? You are required to get a static/altimeter/xpdr test for IFR flight any time the static system has been opened (91.411). 91.413 refers to maintenance on the transponder (and...
