Amomg other planes, I've been considering the classic Aeronca 15AC Sedan, and was wondering what to look for or to avoid when doing a pre-buy. Also, general comments good and bad about the plane? There aren't many for sale to use as reference, I know NAAA and Vref list them in the mid to upper...

While in solid IMC last Sunday I reached toward the windscreen to see how warm the defroster was and I got a quick series of static shocks without actually touching anything. Under the same conditions I was still receiving the VORs for the airway I was on and communicating with ATC with no...

I've been surprised to read nothing here about the new delay for WAAS on the 430/530s. Perhaps it's not new to everyone else? It was supposed to be available this summer. It's not. It's now projected for third quarter of 2006. However, one must order before some time this year to lock in the...

What does everyone use to de-bug their planes? I want to be honest with everyone, I started a company that makes a cleaner but I don't want to use this area to advertise I just want to see what everyone is using.

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...

While cleaning out a machine storage building we've discovered several pallets of mil spec bolts and steel stop nuts. They are obviously old aircraft military surplus, they are wrapped and boxed like only the military would require. Most are cad plated, either gold or silver. The bolts have head...

Every day these noisy, small private planes from Palo Alto airport destroy my living space. They fly too low, and this causes their low frequency motor noise to enter my home and drive me crazy. Especially on weekend days, there is either one plane entering or leaving my airsapce, so there is a...

Friday on the takeoff roll from Minden, NV (MEV), the oil door decides it's time to bail out. The latch has been a problem lately and the whole door assembly had an appointment with my brother and his riveting tools for a hinge and striker plate replacement. So, a co-worker and I have just filled...

I have an old Airmap 5000. It stores the data on a PCI card that slides into the unit. My database is now 3 years old. Lowrance stopped providing data about 4 years ago, and a year ago Jeppson dropped support. A web search didn't reveal anybody else selling databases. Now, that data is on the...

Hi, I´m looking for advice on mounting wheel fairings to a 1973 C150. Is there anything that I have to consider aside from having the right mounting plates ? Thanks !

Hello, the wife tossed out all of my old (and not so old)airplane mags, does anyone have a jan 2003 plane & pilot? I'm mainly interested in the mooney mustang article pg 46-52 if you could scan and e-mail it to me. Thanks, Dave

Looking for thoughts out there... If I have an IFR-certified GPS (terminal, not just enroute), is there any reason to keep a DME or ADF in the panel? (Other than being able to listen to am radio or tracking "non-offical" navaids - e.g., am radio stations!) TIA, - Don History does not long...

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone can recommend an insurance company for my new Diamond Star. I am based in New Jersey. This would be a joint policy with my instructor (I don't have my ticket yet). I have heard that Avemco is overpriced, and I already submitted a quote request to Falcon. Any...

I've seen quite a few airplane web pages over the years. I have to say, this Mooney (M-18) Mite site is one of the better ones I've seen. This site does many, many, many things right, IMHO. One very, very minor nit is ...the (very good) Photos/History page is one level down, in the Articles link....

For those of you who may find a need for this (which probably won't be too many of you), I put my copy of a KR-20 marker beacon receiver install and op manual (with pinouts, that's why I put it up), on the site. You can download a small PDF file at http://www.bd5.com/kr-20.pdf Juan
