Paul Young
Hello all...
I keep seeing the different letter variants for C-172 airplanes (e.g.,
Cessna 172L, Cessna 172N) but I have no idea how different is which
variant from each other... Is there any website or other resource where
I can find specs for each of the Cessna 172 variants...? Any info

Ellery Queen and the Case of the Missing Magneto Gear Teeth by
MikeremlaP
(Cross posted in rec.aviation.homebuilt)

I'm dating myself with that title. Too bad today's young people might think
"sodomite" when they hear the name "Queen."
Had a problem with a Bendix S4 non-impulse magneto.
To "cut to the chase"...

The second printing of "Military Aircraft Designations and Systems" is still

is good to have copies available again. We are also able to hold the
original price, too. Military Aircraft designations

MU-2 by
Tony
Anyone have or fly an MU-2 in here. I have flown one in the right seat
for about 10 hours. I hear that they have a bad accident rate. But I
would say thats because you get some of them hot shot pilots that think
they can fly anything and go out and crash them. But then there are
people that have...

Any planes remotely quiet? by
Chris Hoffmann
....and don't say "a glider". :)
Quiet, in terms of how loud it is inside the cockpit.
1. Is there such a thing as a quiet single engine plane? Quiet enough to not
need hearing protection? More quiet than other models, relatively speaking?
2. Is there really ANY GA plane that is?
3. Are...

AV-SUN readers/sunglasses by

I note this seemingly great idea advertised @ $79.95. Getting older I now
need some magnification when reading charts and find it a real pain changing
several times per trip between my RAY BANS and 1.75 readers with my headset
on. Anyone tried this product? Your experiences, or is there...

Bonanza Alternator Light by

Does anybody know about some quirkiness in the alternator 'idiot light'
indicator? In my F-33A, it'll come on for a few seconds and extinguish. I've
had it looked at twice...nothing loose, everything checks out fine, battery
is charging and holding charge. But a couple of times in flight, it has...

Canadians: Estimate monthly costs? by
Drew Hamilton
Hi there,
I'm hoping that someone who owns an aircraft in Canada (pref. Toronto area) can
give me some hints. I'm just trying to get a ballpark estimate of the costs
involved in airplane ownership. How much do you pay for insurance? Tie
down/hangar fees? What kind of financing (if any) were...

comanche 250 by
Tom Jackson
My dad has a '67 260 - totally awesome aircraft - very fast!
His is worth approx $100,000, but has nice paint and interior.
Off the cuff, I'd say $65,000 sounds good, but you could check the value on
the AOPA website, if you are a member.
Also, the International Comanche Society is a good source...

Normally I wouldn't post about our own party, but since no one in attendance
will be able to post until after Oshkosh, I thought I might post a little

a) Many beers were served. In fact, we had to buy more beer mid-way through
the evening. No injuries...

There is an article in it about a guy in a bonanza who crashed doing an

WOT in cruise? by
Roger Long
I was always taught that WOT was a "renter's setting" and that you should
back off to 2300-2400 if you want to get good life out of your engine. I
keep running across the Advanced Pilot Seminar guys asking, "Why EVER be
partial throttle in cruise?
