So my AI has been going whacky for several months now -- falling over on its side, then erecting, and so on. We finally realized that, with night-flying season nearly upon us, we'd better replace that boat anchor with an instrument we can trust. Although we don't fly IFR, we DO occasionally fly...

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...

Hello all... just looking for input on getting and airspeed indicator overhauled. Any luck on shops/etc? My True ASI in my cherokee appears to have a bit of a static leak. Thoughts on shops? I had good luck with Kelly Instruments (KS) with two gyro overhauls last summer. Also, any thoughts on...

I just saw an ad for ASL CamGuard and wonder if anyone out there has any experiences with this product that they would like to share. Good? Bad? Neither? Is it just a detergent or a balonium-based material, or does it have

Many ASOS frequencies in the Ohio area are being changed to the same frequency(121.425). I find this bad since I usually tune in my local ASOS from 50 to 100 miles out (depending on altitude). This was fine when the frequencies were different, but now I get info from a nearer one. I want to know...

Anyone looking to install one of these? Pros? Cons? Mike

ASR approach into KJAN with ATC communications. One thing for sure, every flight is different! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV3GyaK7jOE Watch how I handle a "non issuance" of a landing clearance. You will hear me vocalizing my "thoughts" on flying the plane and what I am doing to "correct"...

Good Day fellow pilots and aviation enthusiasts. After 30 years I made my dream to cross the Atlantic on a Single Engine Airplane, True. If you like to read the Trip story and see the photos, I have published it on Hub Pages in four parts. Go to the link : ...

No, not *that* down... Had my A&P install my new whiz-bang Iridium fine wire plugs yesterday, and sent him on a chase for that pesky oil leak. So what did he find? A cracked exhaust pipe, right at the weld in the "gatherer" (where the three pipes come together). Then, when we pulled the thing...

Has anyone ever noticed a drop in VOR reception range when flying in smoky conditions? Last Saturday in southern AZ we had significantly reduced visibility from the big fire north of LA. I saw a lot of flagging on and off of the CDI along with back and forth needle drift until within about 30...

My lower tail nav light doesn't work because the braided metal ground strap that connected the tailcone to the light housing fell off the tail cone side. I can't tell (at least from the outside) how it was originally attached to the aluminum skin. I don't see a rivet -- would it have been...

The other day, while removing the left-hand door panel on my 1980 Cessna 182, I noticed small pry marks on the outside of the door frame immediately below the latch. I looked at the bottom of the window frame and saw it was bent up a little. It looked like someone had used a small screwdriver in...

Stan, I saw a posting from you from last year when you were talking about putting XM bluetooth weather in your Saratoga, with the XM box in the forward bagage compartment.
