Heating the hanger by
Gig 601XL Builder
What is the groups suggestion for heating a 40x50 insulated hanger. It
doesn't have to be hot I just want to raise the temp about 15-20 degrees
when it is 30-40 outside.
Here's the rub. No natural gas available plenty of electric though including
an unused 220 connection.
To see the hanger visit...

Citabria Fuel-Flow Problem by
quietguy
The A/C in question is a 1974 Bellanca 7ECA, re-engined with an O-320
so it's effectively a 7GCAA. It belongs to the Offutt AFB Aero Club
and has seen very little use, often sitting for weeks at a time until
a week ago when I began taking dual in it 2-3 times a week to get my
tailwheel...

Dave Butler
Our Mooney just came out of annual and now the tachometer needle doesn't move at
all during the magneto check as you switch through R, L, BOTH. The engine does
stop running with the switch in OFF.
I asked my my partner who manages the maintenance relationship to look into it
and he contacted the...

Flying Club Billing by
[email protected]
I am part of a very small flying club that shares the cost and
ownership of an aircraft.
We've been handling the billing for flights and such for a number of
years with simple versions of quickbooks and its, well, just ok at
handling this. Not particularly well suited, but cheap. Unfortunately

Building chasing airport lights -- Attn: Jim Weir? by
Jay Honeck
Today a pilot-guest had the coolest idea for the side-entrance to our lobby:
"Chasing" lights recessed in the drop-ceiling tiles, leading to the main
lobby area, that look just like the "rabbit" lights that lead to the
approach end of a runway!
(Background: Over half of our guests come in the...

MoGas Long Term Test: 5000 gallons and counting... by
Jay Honeck
Yesterday I noticed that we had pumped more than 5000 gallons of mogas
through the Mighty Grape. This represents something like 60 complete fills
(our plane has four gas tanks, totaling 84 gallons), and around 350 hours of
flight time over the last 2.5 years.

Owning more expensive than renting by
Jon Kraus
Well I have only been an airplane owner for a few months but so far
owning is more expensive than renting. I must say that the convenience
of having your own airplane to go to when ever you want is worth a few
bucks. Has anyone found owning more expensive than renting? :-)

KX 170B Replacement by
Jay Somerset
My two KX 170B NavComs are getting a bit tired. The tuning gears have been
replaced, and after several years are now getting really stiff and hard to
turn again. Apart from the mechanical parts, the radios both work just
fine.
I am looking at three alternatives; having them repaired again,...

Senate Bill S.786 could kill NWS internet weather products by
FlyBoy
As a private pilot, I make frequent use of the NWS's Aviation Digital
Data Service (see 1). I especially like their "Java Tools" graphic
presentations of METAR, TAF, and AIR/SIGMET data. Senate Bill S. 786
(see 2) could well kill such NWS weather presentations in favor of
private sector...

3 people lost their life yesterday. The pilot was a very dear and wonderful

Spark Plugs: Champion vs. Unison by
Jonathan Goodish
I've Googled for this and poked around other places, but there doesn't
seem to be much comparison data on these two products.
I've always used Champion plugs (massive electrode), but now that my
plugs are fairly worn and I'm in the market again, I'm curious about
opinions on the Unison Autolite...

Rules on what can be in a hangar by
Brett Justus
Our airport commission has talked about going around and looking in
hangars to crack down on "volatile" liquids being stored within. I
think mainly they're concerned about people keeping fuel for use in
heaters, where there is a more likely ignition source in addition to
the liquids being...
