No technician in his right mind would put a part in an airplane that does not have traceablity. yes you Do need a yellow serviceable tag. Or better yet an 8130. It amazes me what some of you owners do on your airplanes.....You cannot legally install that if you dont have an A&P. Joe

Anybody know of a (legal) way to expand the 50 gal fuel capacity of an early Piper Arrow? (Yeah, I know, buy an Arrow II, but I love this airplane)

I used to be insured by AIG in Bethany, OK. During my last renewal I found out that Travers and Associates of St. Louis, MO has bought them. If you call AIG you get Travers. Even though I paid my premium I have not received notification of coverage or a copy of the policy. No change in cost. AIG...

Hi I had to pull cylinder 3 due to low compression. The shop said that there is some minute pitting on the valve which indicates that the EGT is too hot. I use an engine analyzer and run 50 rich of peak for leanest cylinder. This puts CHT's between 300 & 350 and EGT's between 1350 and 1450. I...

Hello Mike, FYI I the later Garmins (I believe that includes the 196) will record flight tracks with Altitude, the Lowrance 500 and 1000 will not. I find the 3D track very useful for: 1) Aesthetic dimension for plots of our flights to give to friends that we've given rides to. E.g. if you use...

Hi, I am looking for a notcher that will cut keyway notches for a #6 rivnut with a key. I have tried every tool store online that I can find. No one seems to have them. I was outbid on a couple of used ones on Ebay and haven't seen any since the last time. Any help would be appreciated. email: ...

Ok, let's say my TSO'd Attitude Indicator (AI) in my Cherokee goes belly-up, and my friend just happens to have one he removed from his machine a month ago as part of a complete panel upgrade. We both KNOW the thing works fine and would solve my problem. What's the ramifications of just having it...

I've got an IO-540. The oil filler neck is a long tube sticking up out of the top of the case with a dipstick that's 15" or so. The top end of the dipstick never even gets splashed with oil in normal operation. That part of the dipstick is mildly corroded. I'm assuming it sits in a steamy...

This was a little fun quiz that was circulated on a type specific email list a few days ago. It was authored by George Braly of Advanced Pilot Seminars, and principle of GAMI. If you're familiar with George, you know he backs everything up with HARD DATA obtained from his own research. In a...

Anyone know where to obtain spare data cards at a reasonable price? (Jepessen's selling them for $109 each). Thanks in advance, David

ARRRRGHH! Just took possession of a '67 172 on Monday. Aside from work obligations and IFR weather in the DFW area the past week, I was really really really looking forward to this morning (Sat) to take my first flight alone in the new bird. Going over the logs once again last night (about the...

I'm looking at a house that is about 1 mile north of the airport -- right in the flight path of the north-south runway. I would like to find out how many planes a day fly in/out of the airport and typically how many of these use the N-S runway. Any help or a referral would be greatly appreciated.

I know this subject has been covered in the rec.aviation.* ngs in the last couple of years, but my dejasearch turned up dry. I'm putting wingtip strobes on the 182 and I'd like recommendations from the group as to what you put on and why. I'd like individual power supplies for each strobe mounted...

I need two box seats at the 2004 Reno Air Races. If anyone has some room available in a box please send me an email. Ronald Oldham

Remember the 63, 172 that sat outside for 18 years? Well the restoration is done except for the paint, the white is done but not the stripe. Test flight was Feb 29th. The pictures are still at http://12.151.5.4/172 but I haven't put up the newest ones yet. It was actually done since late December,...

I just had a VFR Cert. done and the avionics shop said that the antenna of coax was causting the frequency of the transponder to be out of limits. Of coarse they had to bench adjust the frequency of the transponder to compensate. Has anyone ever had this problem before? Thanks, Ray

James, Aviation is not the place to look for getting rich. It has been said that the way to make a small fortune in aviation is to start with a large one. wrote: Hi, my name is James, and I need your help to get me rich. Find out how to do so at...

Seems like I never have any good info to offer but always seem to find a question or 10. I'm a long time PA28 and C172 / C182 driver and I'm looking for something faster with a little longer legs. I've never flown a Mooney but I like the style, performance and gph numbers and some of the older...
