Grumman AA5 series....facts versus fiction question by
pgonzalez52
Hi folks,
I was in the process of purchasing an AA-5A cheetah this week and
spoke with the owner about it. Pictures looked good and the specs were
reasonable for the price. Then I inquire about damage and use. NDH,
great. But then came the bombshell. I asked and he said that he sees
around 112-115...

Hangar Winch by

I bought 100 ft of 1/2" line and a sailing block. Tie one end of the rope
to the back of the hangar, tie block to the tail hook, and drag the loose
end. It multiplies your effort x 2 and allows you to stand inside the
hangar. ...

Anyone wrapped their yokes in leather? by
Jay Honeck
We've got a bag full of leather scraps, left over from our new interior job
last fall. I would like to wrap our yokes with it, so that they match the
seats and throttle cover.
Anyone ever done this? I don't want to just wind the stuff around and have
it look like crap in a few months.
Should I...

Hangar rent by
Kobra
I don't know if this has been covered before, but how much is everyone
paying for their hangars and what is provided?
Mine is a T-hanger with a dirt floor, free electric and manual doors that
are a bear to open and close. The hangar is damp of course, but not too
bad.
When we first secured it...

Lowrance 2000C ??? by
Tri-Pacer
I just looked at one of these jewels yesterday and I am impressed. Is anyone
using one? How do you like it. I'd really like to hear pro's and cons. I'm
presently using a King Skymap IIIC and could probably sell if for what a
Lowrance 2000C would cost.
Thanks

Fuel dip tube for Piper Warrior? by
TTA Cherokee Driver
Is there a fuel dip tube available for the Piper Warrior II
(specifically, pa28-161)? When I flew the 172 I used a fuelhawk dip
tube to measure how much fuel I had. In the warrior there are tabs in
each tank at 17 gals but other than that it seems like guesswork. I
sure would like to find a way...

Ham Radio In The Airplane by

Why not wire one ear cup for your aviation and the other cup for ham

both. Use a hand held mic for one or the other.
