So my AI has been going whacky for several months now -- falling over on its side, then erecting, and so on. We finally realized that, with night-flying season nearly upon us, we'd better replace that boat anchor with an instrument we can trust. Although we don't fly IFR, we DO occasionally fly...

Some one out there must have an old Magellan Skystar in a cupboard some having upgraded to something newer. My remote antenna cable was stolen by some jerk (why heaven only knows) and I am having trouble picking up an signals. I have tried all the dealers and Magellan itself looking for a spare...

**Shameless Plug Warning** My fourth aviation article is about to hit the stands. The next "Aviation Safety" will have a piece I wrote on prop nicks. You do read "Aviation Safety" don't you? If not, you should. -- Roger Long

Okay, so Cirrus is cooking along at 60 aircraft per month. They're selling everything they can build, and people who have bought them are ecstatic. Fast forward to the year 2018. What's going to be happening to these composite beauties? Reason for asking: A long discussion with some pilots who...

Does anyone know of a source for replacement visors for a Seneca V? My searching on the internet only shows visors for earlier model Pipers.

For a Piper Seneca, there is a special tool used to align the prop de-ice brushes. According to API, that tool is no longer available. Is there an A&P out there with one of these plastic jigs in your tool box. If so, can I impose upon you to FAX me a tracing outline of the tool so that I can...

I just heard that Garmin has bought Apollo (UPSAT). I have used products from both companies gong back to Apollo 612 LORANS and GPS100, and it has always seemed that every generation brought better stuff, especially in the user interface. I hope this will make it even better. What does anybody...

Does anyone know where I can get shielded, twisted pair, digital data wire that meets or exceeds MIL-W-27500? This is for data connections between a KDR-510 datalink receiver and a KMD-550 MFD. Aircraft Spruce does not have this, but they do have paired shielded wire, it's just not twisted.

I've sold my Grumman Tiger and it's very likely that I will not be able to make the delivery flight due to business. So, I'm looking for a qualified ferry pilot. Reply here and I'll follow up. Thanks -- Patrick Flynn Sammamish, WA

I've got a friend with a Garmin GMA-340 audio panel with the marker beacons. It's got a high and low sensitivity switch on it for the marker receiver. When it's on High Sensitivity, everything works OK. When it's on low sensitivity, he can only pick up the outer marker. We pulled the antenna off...

Have any of you ever heard of "Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer"? If so, can anyone think of a reason why it would NOT be a good idea to add a quart to a Cont O-300 that seems to be using a lot of oil? Just askin' . . . thanks . . .
