Hi Today I was flying north and my ADF was tuned to an NDB. The needle pointed at 330 degrees (or 11 O'clock) until I reached the NDB, and then it swung until it pointed behind. I dialed up the next NDB and it pointed at 330 again until passage. And I dialed up another NDB - same indication - all...

Our 1964 Skyhawk has a placard by the fuel cap indicating that it is approved for unleaded auto fuel. However, I don't have any paperwork showing that it has an STC for autofuel. Any ideas on how I could research this information? Or...is the placard all I need? Thanks. -- Al Gilson Spokane,...

Liberty XL2 has the Continetal IOF 240 with FADEC. Would the engine run if the batteries failed? It does not have a magneto. Would the ignition system run off of the alternator? The salesman at Sun-n-fun had no clue. Does anyone know?

Type of plane I have a VFR Cessna 150. Most important control Radio transmit Least important control Pitot heat (if you need it, you shouldn't be flying) Never working control

Does anyone out there have experience with having installed a tanis heater when a engine analyzer is already in place. I have a JPI Classic Scanner (EGT/CHT) that had bayonnet-type probee for CHT. Tanis has a kit designed for this sitation, but after we installed the kit, none of the CHT readings...

Just saw an article by AP. It seems that Auburn University has made a breakthrough in fuel cell research. They now have a practical way of catalytically separating the hydrogen from the carbon and sulphur in conventional fuels such as diesel. When used in a vehicle equipped with a fuel cell, fuel...

Could someone fill me in on the Aerostar fuel system? The one in question is a 602P. IIRC, Ted Smith designed it as a "Leave it alone and burn all the fuel in the airplane" type system. But wasn't there a lawsuit over one years ago? Al G

On a trip last week, we flew for 3 hours at 10,000ft. Afterward my wife complained of fatigue and at times during the flight she complained that she couldn't "get enough air". I am thinking that supplemental OX for her would be helpful. I checked the Aerox systems and the other systems, but...

Sorry about the x-post but didn't know where to ask the question. I guess I've been living under a rock. I wanted to update the VFR GPS in the panel to an IFR model. I started getting quotes on recon GNC 300XLs. The units themselves were about 2,500-3,000. I was shocked to find out that I had...

Day 48 (The Seats) Just completed the seats. Not as tough or as time consuming as I thought it would be. Maybe 10 hours total time. As I said in the previous installment, I reused the rear foam. The rear seat backs rolled back on without a hitch. Minimal adjusting to get it to look just right. I...

I expect this question has been asked many times here....but here goes. Exactly what, if anything, do I need if I want to fly into Canada? Does the answer change if I want to land in Canada or if I am just flying through their airspace? I expect to be on an IFR flight plan, so I will already have...

Hi all, Went to the Nashua, NH (KASH) Aviation Festival today, which was pretty well organized. I'm a Daniel Webster Alum so it was nice to see not only the displays they sponsored but also all the buildings my tuition built. :-) The festival is largely a static display, which is nice because...

Hello, Does anyone have any information when/if we're going to be able to get our 496 units to recieve Canadian weather information? Happy Holidays, Dico

Hello all... I keep seeing the different letter variants for C-172 airplanes (e.g., Cessna 172L, Cessna 172N) but I have no idea how different is which variant from each other... Is there any website or other resource where I can find specs for each of the Cessna 172 variants...? Any info greatly...

I'm not sure I'd ever seen an SR20 before today, and boy does it have obnoxious exhausts. Are all Cirrus planes like that and I've just missed it? -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/

After considerable research, I have pretty much written off adding weather to my Garmin 530 right now. It looks like the GDL-49 just doesn't do what I want, and is too susceptable to interference for efficient delivery of detailed weather, and you have to add another damned VHF antenna (which would...
