While our prop is out for some work, we're putting new 1/4" LP Aero side windows in the Aztec. A couple of the windows need to be trimmed to fit properly. What methods have proved to be the most successful? Band saw? cut off wheel? Any others? We need to take about 1/4" to 3/8" off around two...

I have a prop, no idea for what type it's for. It's in excellent condition. Does anyone know what it's for? Here is the info stampoed on the hub. Prop is 74 3/4" long. Eight bolts. On the prop, following info: McCauley KlipTip Met-L-Prop SN# 6834

http://tinyurl.com/3dy4ot As a new turbo owner, I'm leary of fixing what ain't broken. Would you get the timing bumped 3 degrees if it were yours? -- Dan T-182T at BFM

http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/bizav/652-full.html#192405 The FAA dinged an A&P for not complying with a "mandatory" SB prior to returning an aircraft to service in a part 91 environment. The NTSB upheld it, breaking with decades of precedent.

Aircraft Spruce has a product listing for the Approach Sport Hub Avionics Wiring Systems http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/approach1.php The Pro Hub for IFR is $600 and the cables aren't cheap, but it seems like once this is installed, avionics additions/upgrades could be done fairly...

I ran across this interesting web site about an alternative way to fly. Looks like fun. Ronnie http://www.clusterballoon.org/

See www.deandunn.co.uk/N37LW for further details. Aircraft is N registered. Only selling as I have have just landed an airline job, looking for quick sale, so all offers invited. Based in UK, but can ferry to US for expenses. Dean email enquiries to

I am getting bleed through on my intercom when my strobes are on. Has anyone else had to deal with this? (Drives my wife nuts at night)

So here we go again. It's just before 6:15am, and what was a storm a few days ago is evolving into a catagory 1 hurricane. There's not a hanger to be found on the eastern seaboard of Florida, so we're on our way north. You just have to love Florida .... Marty

Our normally-aspirated Arrow IV is currently in the shop getting a Lycoming factory rebuilt ("zero time") IO-360-C1C6 installed. This is the first time in my 2000 hr. flying career that I have ever had to deal with an engine break-in, so I would welcome advice from the group. Lycoming apparently...

For you avionics guys out there...what should it cost to have an avionics shop install an audio input jack in my panel as an add-on to my panel-mounted stereo intercom? We have a Narco CP-136 audio panel, and a PS Engineering CD/Intercom. I'm assuming the input jack has to "patch in" to the...

Hi! I have a SL30 and a GNS 430 in my plane. They use the same antenna via a splitter. When I dial in the same VOR in both units the SL30 catches up the radials always between 20 and 50 nautical miles earlier than the GNS 430! (Altitude about 3000 ft, flat area) Is this normal? What is your...

I'm looking at two older Cessna 182's. Both are the same year, both have roughly the same radios, both are in roughly the same condition, both are asking about the same price, except for the following: 1) Plane A has a newly overhauled engine, some hail damage, and newer gyros 2) Plane B has...

Laurent, I'm based at Wings, LOM, just outside Philly. I waited almost a year to get a hanger. It's not much of a hanger. Just a long building with no doors and no walls between aircraft. I don't have to move any planes to get my plane out and it keeps the sun and the rain off. For me,...

Hey all... finally got around to taking a trip in my plane this weekend (busy with school stuff). The transponder appears to be weak and the controllers were none-too-pleased without seeing a squawk, IFR, running next to a TFR... :) They had a tough time receiving my squawk, especially when far...

Hi there, Googling past threads yielded nothing definitive so here goes: On runup today, noted the following: 1. RPM to 1700, switched to right mag, dropped ~150 rpm 2. Increased RPM to 2000, leaned back until I got a 100rpm drop and held for one minute to clear it. We've had to do this pretty...

With the demise of 80/87 avgas, I bought a gallon of TCP and will start adding that to the 100LL that I must now buy. However, scouting around the internet I found something that claims to be similar in function but safer: decalin. Here's a blurb from Aircraft Spruce. My questions are, has...

At least a dozen aircraft from Florida were parked on the north ramp at BFM this afternoon. I didn't meet any of the pilots, so I couldn't ask why they would flee a hurricane yet park at a coastal airport on the edge of the projected path of the storm. I realize that the storm probably will be...

Our annual Fly-In breakfast is THIS Sunday, 8/29, from 7 AM till at least 1 PM (Sometimes longer, depending on demand), here in Iowa City. (KIOW -- See airport info at: www.airnav.com/cgi-bin/airport-get?s=IOW ) This is one of the biggest fly-in breakfasts in the Midwest. The FAA usually sets...
