Can anyone tell me which potentiometer is used to adjust the sidetone on a MX-170B? There are three pots that are accessable thru holes in the case (pilot side, copilot side, and bottom) but they are not marked on the inside or outside. Mike

I've just bought a '62 Cessna 172 with the Horton STOL kit and madras droop tips and have a question: My dad took it up for the first time (it's in WI, I'm in NC) and was curious about if these modifications change the "V" speeds in any significant way...? Apparantly there is no change in the POH...

Hi, Has anyone had any experience with the SlickStart product? We have a Mooney m20e and it is a pig to start once the engine is warm. Perhaps its the lack of experience starting it, but I hear that installing a Slickstart will give the engine a boost, no matter if the plugs are wet or not. Any...

I am new to this newsgroup, and kind of new to flying. (Took lessons exactly 30 years ago = 53 hours). I am on my second lesson. Question. Trying to figure the cost of airplane ownership. Is insurance mandatory (Oregon resident) or is it strictly to insure MY airplane, if I wish. If mandatory...

Go to http://www.alexisparkinn.com/aviation_videos.htm for some cool new aviation videos! Just finished revamping the page to run the videos better. While I was at it, I added a couple of new ones -- including the infamous "Rolling the Boeing 707 Prototype" video, which has a rarely seen...

Last Wednesday I found myself unable to push my plane back into the hangar without help. It was wet, limiting my shoe traction, and I had been unable to successfully get back on the concrete pad after cutting the corner through the squishy grass, forcing me to take a more straight-in (and more...

No more side-scrolling, I hope! I think I've got the page formatted so that it "scales" to different screen resolutions without requiring side-scrolling to see everything. Fixing it involved converting everything from plain text to "tables" that can be set to a percentage of size -- thanks to...

A friend of mine inherited a Terra TX 760D in the Citabria he recently bought. The radio is now giving him trouble. While Terra is out of business, Star Avionics in CHA works on these and can get parts. He wants to know if anyone has any experience with these radios, and if so, are they worth...

I'm looking for some advice on a voltmeter (preferably digital) that will plug into the "cigarette lighter" of my airplane. I found one on the J. C. Whitney site, but $50 is too much for what I want to use it for. I've got a JPI analyzer which reads voltages off the avionics bus, and also a...

We have a Garmin GNS430, UPSAT SL30 NAC/COM and Sandel EHSI. I'd like to add a second course deviation indicator/GS for when Murphy shows up and the Sandel quits at the worst possible time. A couple questions for the avionics gurus on r.a.o: - How much is this going to cost? There's the cost of...

As you may or may not know, Piper changed their wheel pants (at least on the Warrior) around 1978. IMHO the later model pants are quite a bit nicer/better than the old ones. Now the question is, I own a '75 Warrior. Can I legally put the later model pants on it? If so, what's required in terms...
