Mooney M20C Questions by
Greg Esres[_2_]
On the hydraulic flaps, does the position of the silver pump handle
have any bearing on whether or not the hydraulic pressure leaks out of
the flap, once they are extended? (The POH doesn't say that it does.)
There is some mechanism underneath the instrument panel that has some
adjustment for the...

Lowrance 2000C ??? by
Tri-Pacer
I just looked at one of these jewels yesterday and I am impressed. Is anyone
using one? How do you like it. I'd really like to hear pro's and cons. I'm
presently using a King Skymap IIIC and could probably sell if for what a
Lowrance 2000C would cost.
Thanks

Due to some peeling clear coar, slightly thinning base coat in a couple
of places, and some recent minor hail damage (with payment from
insurance) it looks like we're due for a paint job on our Archer.
Can anyone suggest any good shops (or ones to stay away from) in the
Atlanta area? All...

Who pays redux by
Viperdoc[_4_]
After a few weeks, I called my mechanic, since I had not received a bill.
(See previous threads for background):
Immediately after the last annual, the plane threw an alternator belt. We
went through three belts, and the last one has been in for six hours and
worked fine. During this time we...

C172N Eats Landing lights for breakfast by
[email protected]
My friend owns a 77 172N. Eats Landing lights. A real pain to change
with the cowling.
I recently read in an old copy of Aviation Consumer Buyers guide that
some of the N models are known to do this and that there's a Landing
Light Improvement Kit from Cessna.
I could not find one online

486 vs GDL69a by
TF
Decision time. Do I go for a panel mounted GDL69a in my 77 Mooney (MX20)
for a big price tag. Or do I do the cheap and cheerful 486 portable route
? Seems on a cost basis that the 486 is the choice . Why wouldn't you ?
I like the integrated approach for the neatness factor. No wires...

Airmap 2000C ??? by

I just got my new Lowrance Airmap 2000C and am playing with it before I fly
with it. It is different enough from my current GPS (King Airmap IIIC) that
I have a bit of a learning curve to get comfortable with the new unit.
After spending over 30 minutes with Lowrance on hold, then getting...

Hartzell AD Followup by

This is a follow-up to a message I sent to the group recently about the
Hartzell propeller AD.
I flew out to the prop shop today and had them inspect my hub using the

finding the smallest of cracks on or very near the surface. ...
