What Bugs You The Most? by
Charles Talleyrand
Of course everyone thinks their plane is wonderful, but every plane has at least
one annoying 'feature'. I don't want to hear about cabin width or cruise speed,
but that minor gremlin you would fix if money was free and time replaceable.
In my plane, the overflow vent vents too much and full...

What constitutes "logs"? 1st. time buyer. by
Paul
I am investigating the purchase of an a/c. The "logs" are looseleaf
sheets in a binder. When people speak of a log I envision a journal
with sequentially numbered pages. Entries are made in the pages and
there is backup substantiation in the form of invoices, yellow tags,
etc. Should I be...

One prospective plane I'm looking at is for sale in Connecticut (currently
based there). The current ownership is in a Delaware LLC (of a sole
proprietor, who is flying/basing the plane out of CT). Connecticut...

What do you do about maintenance? by
Andrew Gideon
Picture an airport where MX services are limited. Perhaps because there's
no real shop at the airport, but maybe just a couple of independents that
work out of their hanger. Or perhaps there are shops but they're
"imperfect" (ie. unwilling to work on anything that's not scheduled two or
more weeks...

What are the real cost of operating a single engine airplane in today's
economy? I've rented planes over the years since I've been a licensed pilot.

contemporary technology?
1. Start at 0 degrees F with no fuss?
2. Water cooling for dependable cabin heat?

4. Automatic timing control?
5. Jet fuel (availability)?
6. Piston...

What is a "short field" for a PA28-181 by
Roy Page
I have been trying to determine the length of a runway that would be
considered a "short field" for my Archer II.
The two instructors that I work with on occasions disagree on the amount of
flaps to use for takeoff at gross weight.
One guy says my airfield with a 2,800ft runway is a "short field"...

What is a Doyne Apache? by
JAX
I've seen some Apaches listed that are 'Doyne conversions' but I can't
find what the conversion involved, except maybe 180hp engines. I know

What is the status on cheaper aircraft for the Sports pilot? by
N9NWO
A lot of us can not afford the $100K+ aircraft. Even Taylor is a bit too
expensive at $54K. When can we expect to see something in the $15 to 25K
range?
I will note that I am seeing a lot of used aircraft in that range. I gather
that the market is a bit depressed still.

9 o'clock, and it appears to have 3 indicator...
