I've just started noticing my KX-155 display acting weird right after the avionics master is flipped on. The digits are all ~whako~ then they slowly become legible after about 5 seconds or so and everything is fine. I'm sure the oscillator that drives the display is slow to start up and sooner or...

Probably a silly question, but what are the pros and cons of air Vs Nitrogen filling of the oleo struts. Just how much of a problem would be the humidity be if they are filled with air. Given the environmental temperatures would probably never get below freezing Its for a Cherokee 235. Also...

Hey all. Turns out the airspeed indicator in our Cherokee has a static leak to cabin. I'm figuring to send it off to have the leak fixed, and I'm looking for suggestions on a good place to have it done. It's the type with the knob and TAS window, calibrated in MPH ('69 PA-28). Would this be...

Recently we had to replace one of the mechanical fuel pumps on our Aztec due to a leaking diaphragm. When talking to several A&P's about the expected life of these pumps and the cause of failure, most sited heat transfer from the accessory case to the pump and lack of cooling being the primary...

I'm curious what the current state of sea plane fuel is. When I started flying sea planes cross countries were planned to docs where boat fuel was available and most all seaplanes had mogas STCs. Since avgas is so rare on the water and seaplanes have such short legs what are people doing today with...

My Hartzell 3-blade propeller (way less than 2400 TBO hours, but at 6 years since new) is due for overhaul and I am looking for the names of propeller shops that owners on this group have found to be the best they have dealt with in the past. Those closest to St. Louis, MO are preferred. ...

I've contemplating buying my first plane. C182 is almost perfect for what Iwant to do with the plane. alas the last few flights have had some significant overwater legs. CRQ-AVX-SBA I also want to be able to comfortably return home after dark. Thus I was thinking about a light twin, something...

I am considering upgrading the starter in my 182P Skylane with the new Sky-Tec flyweight starter. It looks like it will spin the prop faster -w- less power. Does anyone have experience with the Sky-Tec flyweight starter in an O-470 engine? Guy Byars

We have had TIS in three of the planes in our partnership for a while now. I consider it a safety of flight issue. When it is working the number of unseen planes around you it displays is amazing. I really don't want to fly without it at this point. Unfortunately is seems that the data is not...

We just had a complete refit of our Piper Archers avionic stack and collected it from the avionic installers. We had a two hour flight back to our base and the new equipment performed very well. The only issue, is that the 530 got really hot and I wondered what experience others have the GNS530...

I've read lots of stories about it and if finally happened to me, I had my first ramp check. I flew into South Haven, MI (LWA) today to get fuel, it's self serve, and as I was fueling two men wearing ID's around their necks and holding clipboards approached my plane. I couldn't read what their...

One of the tachs in our Aztec has been acting kind of flakey, usually reading too high when above 2100 rpms, (I've checked it several times with an optical tach) so I've been contemplating our options of replacing both tachs with a single dual needle tach. This would open up some panel...
