Hi all, I'd like to hear from anyone who has used the EasyPulse 5 while flying, and can confirm whether it works at 12K-18K altitudes. Trying to put together a good but low-buck oxygen system. -Dan

Two possible causes, Newps... One is a broken wire(s) going to the instrument panel where moving the wire around to work on the lugs causes the broken ends to abrade and make better contact for a while, and then they reoxidize... This is high on my suspicion list since it is the same two wire...

Can anyone enlighten me as to the differences in the Foster LRN500 based on the part number. So far I have found P/N 805D0630-01 P/N 805D0630-11 P/N 805D0630-21 P/N 805D0630-31 mine is a -01, s/n 614. It does not have the mid-continent Loran chain, but does have outputs for remote...

The old wind-up clock in my Pathfinder has become sporadic at best. When it was below zero here, it didn't work at all. Any recommendations on a replacement? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

The club to which I belong is upgrading the instrument lighting in one of our 182s. I've been doing the research side of this. All was going well. We ultimately decided upon the panel overlay product from Aero Enhancement, and started looking at shops to do the installation. And here's where I...

The latest issue of AOPA Pilot contains an article about vortex generators. The article places high emphasis on how they can improve controllability during low airspeed single engine operations in twin engine airplanes. The subtitle of the article, as it relates to twins, mentions "Blueline Ops...

I am looking into purchasing my own plane... I think that I am pretty aware of the costs (as much as a non-owner can be). I would like to hear from those of you who have had a good experience with a plane purchase. I have the bad experience posts also. My guess is that the good will outweigh the...

Seems to me an element of flexability would be required for this to work, in addition to the money/piloting skills etc. If you can work from home from time to time (telecommute), that will help you when the aircraft goes down for maintainance. Also, what about thunderstorms during the summer? ...

Does anyone in the group use a 12v auxiliary heater or heated blanket for added cabin or passenger heat? I've seen that they come in 150watt/12.5 amp and 300watt/ 30amp versions. We'd have to figure out the current load on our alternators but I'm wondering if we should even consider such an...

I have read that the main difference between the Ovation and the Ovation II is the better prop on the second airplane. Can one install the new prop on the old model. It's the same airplane and the same engine between both the Ovation and Ovation II, so the only worries are legal ones. Finally, I...

Anyone use the child seat in a C172? I am looking for experiences so I can make the call of whether to invest in one. Currently, I am looking at a C172M w/180HP, but have 3 kids under 8 and want to take the family up for some rides. If I could afford a larger plane, I would. Where would I get...

The IO-520 in my Cessna 210 is running rough. It seems to run smooth at 1000 rpm but the roughness appears above about 1400. One cylinder is “cold” and apparently not producing any power. I pulled the rocker cover and found that the intake valve spring was broken. My mechanic and I...

Anyone have the pdf of the 1976 cessna 150 service manual they could e-mail me

I've posted twice before on the problems I have been having with my Narco radio's: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.aviation.owning/browse_frm/thread/981307ec4df68cc6 I've decided that I'm going to pull the radio and the connector tray and run new coax from the radio to the antenna, after...

I have suspected for a while that my old analog tach was lying to me. My Archer's static RPM at take-off was measuring about 22k and the minimum spec was 2325, but the plane seemed to have good cruise speed. When I pointed an optical tach through the windshield I read a static RPM of 23.4K. ...

Does anyone know if there's still a Twin Beech (Beech 18) type club?

There are actually TWO party announcements here -- one held in Oshkosh (KOSH), and one in Iowa City (KIOW). Both parties are free to all pilots and aviation enthusiasts...so read on! The **4th Annual Rec.Aviation Oshkosh Party** will be held on Wednesday evening, after the daily air show, at our...

Well, it's a mystery to me anyway. Does anyone know what brand and model, the nav/com, loran, adf, and dme are in the following photo? I'm sure the top nav/com is Collins vhf-251 and 351, but the nav/com below that one? And the others? Also, can anyone identify the transponder in the second...

I am looking for parts manuals or any manual pretaining to this aircraft. I purchased a 11A that the gear spread-eagled on landing rollout. I am in need of all fuselage fittings, gears, oleos, springs, pivot fittings, everything. I realize parts are hard to come by and will possibly have to make a...

I am moving to Madison, WI later this year and have heard thru the grapevine and on the internet that new hangars are being built at the Middleton, WI airport (Morey Field, C29). Is this true? Are any available? The airport folks referred me to the city of Middleton, but my calls have not been...
