Here are photos of the place I told you about that is up for grabs. http://www.theroopouch.com/house_airport.htm If I had 350K, I'd buy it in a pair of seconds. I wonder if there is any wisdom in re-doing the place into a timeshare arrangement. That heated garage would be one hell of a place...

Hmmm...Peter the Anonymous received some experienced advice - nevertheless, he feels entitled to deride folks' efforts on his behalf. Y'all just didn't READ his note! There IS a difference between a hydraulic drive garden tractor and a tractor, which perhaps Peter is not grasping. In turn, I...

My Cessna 172 M (1973) is being annualed. The top wing skin panels above the wing tanks (Standard tanks) have to come off to inspect the area for corrosion. We got all the screws removed. According to the service manual, that is all that is supposed to be securing the panel. (Dozens of...

Our Mooney has a 500 hour recurring AD for inspecting the Impulse Coupler. While they have it off they will inspect the points and condensers and replace worn ones. Our left mag was out of time by 5 degrees so they had to remove the magneto anyway. Jon Kraus PP-ASEL-IA '79 Mooney 201 Jim Burns...

My KI-209 VOR/LOC/GS Indicator is averaging about 7 degrees off of calibration on VOR checks. Its driven by a KX-155 and I'f like to adjust it to within tolerance. I don't have a manual for it but I know the adjustment screw is behind one of the two upper panel mounting screws (I think one is the...

I have often heard (from people in the business) that a good opening offer for what (well) used aircraft (particularly light twins) are worth (wholesale?) Total of the core value + time remaining on the engine(s) and prop(s) + value of avionics and radios or other easily removable...

Hi I'm running in my overhauled engine - 4 hrs - all a full rich. Today I landed at a nearby airport and when I did the run-up to return home the left mag gave a 400 rpm drop. I tried it again and got another 400 pm drop. Third time I tried it I had no left mag at all - drop to cut-off - same 4th...

It's always been believed that if an aircraft (US registered) is rented out, a 100hr check is required. People believe all sorts of things that aren't true, including this. I am now trying to find a reference to this in the FARs. You will be looking a long time. The above text doesn't...

I have been dealing with this Canadian paint shop up in PittMeadows, BC for about 4 months now. They took my airplane (A Piper Tomahawk) in February to paint and put the interior plastics and carpeting that I provided them (worth about $1000). Since then the delivery time gt pushed back more than...

Yes. My thinking is this. You have one older mag and one newer. You also have one from one batch and one from another (or one rebuilt by one guy and another rebuilt by the other guy). So your odds are less that they will BOTH fail on the same flight, which is all you really have to worry about...

Look for a used golf cart, it will have many other uses other than just a tug. Peter wrote: Hi, A colleague is looking for a tug, perhaps an electric one, capable of

Very cool!! But maybe they're just flying here for our gas? g 19 general aviation planes ("light" singles and twins to the French) will also make the trip, flown by members of the French Euro Squadron. All are scheduled to depart Paris on July 18 and arrive at Wittman Regional Airport on...

Robert- Thank you for your well-wishes! We certainly hope to get a lot of local business, but also want those longer-distance pilots, who own their own planes, to be able to take advantage of our convenient hours and pricing when progressing through further training. It will also give them...

DuPont makes Variprime 615S/625S Self-Etching Primer. It has been recommended to me by a retired FAA engineer. I saw an Ercoupe and some Cessna wings being rebuilt at Wesport Airport (Dead Cow) in Wichita. Both were primed with Variprime. I am considering using Variprime to corrosion proof my...

Now that I have upgraded my HSI I am looking at an full function two axis auto-pilot. I am favoring the S-Tec line and well I have a problem with panel space unless I go with their top of the line unit. Is their an equivalent to the 209 that is say 4 or 5 inches deep? Michelle

Day 8 (Big Box Time) Earlier than estimated, the carpet set arrived. Also, the screws, finishing washers, glue, seat webbing, and extra carpet/material arrived with it. First thing I noticed was THE SMELL! I thought one of the glue cans came open. Nope. The carpet has a very strong solvent smell....
