It looks like I will have a mission to pick up a PA32-300 on Thurs. Can anyone point me to an online copy of the flight maual, or perhaps some of the pertinent information? I've got a couple of hours in a PA32-260 some years ago, and will have a copy of the manual available when I pick up...

In the course of researching one day buying an aircraft, insurance is a big factor. I happened upon Austin Meyer's X-Plane site where in his adventure page, he talks about the value of buying hull insurance. http://www.x-plane.com/adventures/37%20Follow_Up.html He makes a good point. Just...

For those interested in an experimental Cub with leading edge slats look at this short report. I've seen this plane fly up close and it has to be seen to be believed. http://www.billingsgazette.net/m/multimedia/2008/02/06/airplane.html

The General Aviation Manufacturers Association says that on the US registry the average age of a twin engine piston power plane with fewer than 4 seats is 32 years, and that this is not increasing. My question is ... WHERE ARE THESE PLANES? I've never seen twin piston engine plane with fewer than...

I'm wondering if anyone here owns a Bonanza A36 (or any Bo with a similar wing structure) with high airframe time (10,000 hours)? I ask because my local A&P who rebuilds a lot of wrecked airplanes knows of an A36 that had a nose gear collapse and has been collecting dust in a hangar for the...

Aviators, I'm selling one of my two Bose Aviation X headsets with deep regret. It is about one year old and is in near new condition. It's on eBay right now for $500.00. http://tinyurl.com/2hrhdv Sorry for the cross posting...

Hi to all, I'm curious if anyone has first hand experience with keeping Franklin engines running? I'm curious about a couple of homebuilts on barnstormers that are for sale, and I see that some Maule's have them as well (which a friend of mine in interested in buying) and was curious if parts are...

Has anyone done much business with Ameri-King? I purchased a brand new ELT from them (via Aircraft Spruce) last week and it came in with a defective ARM/OFF/ON switch. It would not stay in the ARM position. I overnighted it to Ameri-King for repair/replacement. I just got off the phone and they...

This came from the Massachusetts Airport Managers Association (MAMA) Governor's Proposal to Repeal Exemption on Sales Tax To the MAMA membership: By now, all of you know that Governor Patrick's office is proposing to

I run a Motion LS800 for my EFB. I use a DC 12V to 19V power converter to power my LS800 since I have a 12V aircraft system. To minimize the number of wires, can I use a single wire to run +19V from the power converter to LS800 and connect the ground from power converter to LS800 thru the airfram...

My KX-170B has problems. When I first turn on the com, I can hear airplanes on my side of the field but not on the far end of the field. After some time everything turns to normal. I can always transmit just fine. When I first turn on the nav, I can receive no VORs, but a after a few minutes...

I spent a day and a half at Sebring looking at aircraft. As I expected, there are only a few that fit what I'm looking for. Of those, only one (the AMD Zodiac XLi) uses a Continental engine. Everyone else (and, indeed, nearly everyone else building an LSA period) uses Rotax 912s. I'm not fond of...

We are currently working on two new turbine aircraft built about 60 serial numbers apart. They have each presented the same problem. Comm reception on frequency 118.5 deterioates after an hour so and becomes unreadable when the tower is broadcasting. However, you can still hear other aircraft...

Now let's take 91.175. The USA mandates the use of a published IAP. The UK does not. 91.1 says p91 does not apply outside the USA. Does this mean one can fly an unpublished IAP in the UK? I don't see anything in 91.1 saying that it does not apply outside the US. It says that it...

My partners & I sold our Cherokee 180 a couple months ago & have begun looking for a C-182 (fits our mission profile). A local mechanic also recommended a Cherokee 6. Most we've looked at have been a bit outside of our price envelope. We've now found one that's in our price range. Anyone have any...
