Hi I own a Garmin 196 GPS. When I turned it on today it would not find any satellites. I took off and during the flight swithched it on and off several times, unplugged and replugged the cables without success. I landed at my destination and saw a friend who also owns a 196. I took mine over to his...

Baby needs a new pair of shoes... Well, not really. She needs a new coat. Our Cardinal ('75 RG) is to the point of needing a paint job. She sits on a tie-down at PDK (Atlanta) and flies, occasionaly, thru clouds and rain. And it shows. We are looking for recommendations and pireps on painting. ...

The faceplate on my Narco CP-136 Audio Panel was broken off (and glued back together) before I bought the plane. The left side of the faceplate, where 2 retaining screws attach it to the metal chassis, had been glued at least once before I bought it, and my avionics shop had glued it back together...

I have a Gill G25 battery in my Piper Arrow III (PA28R-201T). I recently had a situation where I ran out of juice after 4 attempted starts. While I am sure that I can improve my starting technique (I am a newbie for this particular plane), I would like to have a bit more power in my battery,...

I searched the archives, and found discussion on problems that corrosion has caused, but haven't found any dealing with the role of corrosion in the sale of an airplane. I know most of you steadfastly maintain that ANY corrosion is bad. But, in reality, how many of you have purchased anyway,...

Annual costs are a hot hanger topic. All of us who follow GA maintenance issues have seen how it goes. Preferred Aviation gives good advice so an owner spends $5000 on his Skyhawk while it's in for the annual. When his friends ask why the long face, he tells them he just had a five grand annual at...

I am looking for a partner to co-own a 50s-early 80s 172 (preferably) or 152. In short, I want to buy an aircraft but don't believe that sole-ownership will be a cost-effective solution for me. I single partner would be ideal. Preferably would hangar at MWC (Timmerman) but that doesn't have to...

My daughter has a report due on hot air balloons. Can someone please answer the following questions? What is the balloon part made of? Why won't the gas burn the balloon? Is the story about 80 days around the world true? What happens when the balloon runs out of gas? Thanks in advance. *** Sent...

Received this article in my email today from AOPA. An update on the Cessna wingspar AD. I am curious why the 421 isn't included in this list of aircraft. I thought all the 4 series shared a common wing? Glad to see the 3 series are not included (yet)! -Nathan

We've got the PS Engineering CD/Intercom in our plane, and listen to CDs on long trips. I am obviously slipping into "dinosaur" status, as I have never downloaded music, for "burning" onto a blank CD. I *have* burned CDs, but I've always done it from tracks played off of another CD. Does anyone...

I'm in the market for a moving-map aviation GPS, and trying to decide between Garmin's color 295 and their grayscale 196. The 196 is a newer model, has a better screen and more functions, but the 295 offers a color screen. (Why Garmin doesn't offer a color 196, I don't understand. They already...
