We have become a NATION OF IDIOTS! We, by our OWN hand as a Nation are DESTROYING ourselves! We don't have to worry about some 'terrorist' Destroying America.......we are doing a GREAT JOB ourselves! The worst part is that you cannot count on a fellow american for NOTHING!

"John Harlow" wrote in message ... Were they of any help other than telling you to "wait for production units"? Seems their customer relations could use a little help. They offered me the "first production unit" by express mail...

Hey Guys, I was at Walgreens today, and I saw some cheap interior lights for cars (LEDs) which plug into a cigarette lighter and light up your dash... The lights were the wrong color, but otherwise I was intrigued. It got me thinking about doing a similar thing to upgrade the...

I am looking at buying a F33A which is turbonormalised. Does anyone have any knowledge about the value this adds to the aircraft. I know the cost of fitting but this one was done in 1991, and it is the original turbo. How much does it add to the value of the basic aircraft? TIA Geoff

I posted this as a reply to another thread but I thought it important enough to make it a new thread to increase visibility. I've added more comments and some additional details...plus some ramblings... So this is not entirely a dupe. -- Just a heads up. The 1.6 software update (5/26/06) did...

Thanks for all the feedback to my 6/20 post where I asked for recommendations for portable tiedown stakes. I decided to buy "The Claw" from Hunting Solutions in Pearl MS.681-932-5832. The set received a good review in the latest issue of Aviation Consumer. It seemed to address most of the...

Hello there, I am considering the purchase of a Cardinal 177A with low frame and engine times, nice gps and slaved HSI. It has had 2 accidents, one in 2003 requiring major work to everything in front of and including the firewall. I have flown the plane and it feels heavier on the landings with...

Hi - Very rarely, one of the 6-cylinder Lycoming IO-540's in my Aztec acts up after startup. There is a fair amount of vibration, and a high MP (20") for the resting 1000rpm, and if the engine monitor is turned on, it shows three of the six cylinder (1, 3, 6) not making any heat. Turning on the...

I am a student pilot getting ready to solo next week (26 hours now). I am interested in a 1/3rd share of a '65 P206 due to my large family. Apparently annual insurance is currently $1950. The seller has contacted the partnership's insurance broker who has checked with their current insurer who...

Hello Guys: I am in the process buying a malibu and I was just told the engine log is missing (overhauled in 1996, currently 850 hours smoh)but the owner has MOST of the invoices for the work done during last nine years since the overhaul. My questions are the following; 1. How much is the...

I'm looking for information, feedback, pitfalls of updating Bendix-King GPS's such as the KLN-89B and KLN-94 by updating the cards directly as opposed to plugging into the GPS itself. I understand that there is a card reader you can buy and that there is a firmware upgrade to it that allows the...

Anyone here have the PS Engineering PM3000 stereo 4-place intercom? Is it really worth $200 more than the comparable Flightcom 403? How well does it sound with music input from an iPod? It's TSO'ed, so my A&P/IA is having much less heartburn about installing it... seems the Houston FSDO has...

The logbooks for our newly purchased A36 Bonanza has an entry "E2 Heat Engine Heater" installed. No other documentation on this AC powered heater (attached to oil sump) appears anywhere. Any ideas on who the manufacturer is? I want to get an owners manual and specs (e.g. current draw). Any help is...

Has anyone experienced significant "loss of signal" hiccups with their new 396?? Since getting ours a few months ago, we have had several...some lasting 15-20 minutes. System shutdowns/start ups may or may not re-initialize it. THe antenna is unobstructed and in plain view of the sky. An older...

I just hard wired my ANR headset into my ship's power so that I no longer have to use a 9v battery as a power source. Now I am getting an intermittent squeal when I transmit. I never had this problem with the 9v power pack. My ANR is a Headsets Inc. conversion to a David Clark headset. Any ideas...
