Thanks, all, for your insight and guidance on hangars, TBO, etc I've asked lately. Now I have another one for you. I know that you should always get a disinterested 3rd party A&P to do the prepurchase, but, suppose I find an airplane for sale at my existing home airport, and the current owner's...

I have this overwhelming urge to build a Lancair 360 so I'm searching for an unfinished kit that's in good condition. If you know of anyone with one of these beautiful aircraft that has been "orphaned" in the back of there garage or hanger kindly pass my name along to them. Thanks a bunch. Erik...

Assuming it's time for overhaul . . . With a 1967 H-model Skyhawk, does anyone on this NG know what the most powerful replacement/upgrade can be added to this airframe? I have the 145 HP Cont O-300 . . . would LOVE to get to 180 HP . . . can it be done? www.Rosspilot.com

I would appreciate if someone could steer me to a good picky A+P. I need a pre-buy done on a 172 near RDU Raleigh Durham. It would be even better if it was an IA and things go OK we can turn it into an annual. Mike Z

Can someone summarise Piper Aztec handling qualities for me. Interested in single engine climb performance in under all conditions/aircraft weights - especially Max AUW and hot n high. Also interested in the difference between models and capabilities, configurations (Fuel, AUW etc) Cheers John

I regularly fly Angel Flight missions and occasionally I take passengers who are rather obese. The airlines have seat belt extenders for passengers who do not fit comfortably in a regularly lap belt. I think that in these cases a similar extension would make my passengers more comfortable. Is...

On our way home not long ago we landed in Denver with our oxygen getting low. I asked for a fill and they gave it their best shot but our configuration didn't leave them sufficient space for all of the adapters they needed to use. The ride home was...well, I was glad that I had the oximeter. (As...

Hello, I am a professional photographer in the Northern New Jersey area w/ a love for aviation. I am currently in the process of building a portfolio that is geared towards aviation, pilots, planes, interiors, and aerials from the inside and outside of the plane in order to attract a clientele...

Can anyone recommend a source to replace the erratic Tach in our 79 Archer. I'm looking for "new" and have seen the Mitchell replacements with custom markings as acceptable. But since this is for a club airplane which is billed on Tach, I would like to get an identical Tach with both tenth and...

Hey, all... as usual, I figured I'd try to get some opinions on a new purchase for the Cherokee. Mains are worn out, and I am leaning towards some McCreary AirHawks. Any thoughts? The plane sits outside, but has been getting lots of flying in of late. I find it hard to believe that a tire that...

I need to seal my plexiglass windshield in a few spots and happen to have some GE Silcone II sealant on hand. It is spec'd as low odor but releases methanol and ammonia as it cures. I have seen warnings against using regular silicone sealant since the acetic acid it releases can corrode aluminum,...

I am moving to Madison, WI later this year and have heard thru the grapevine and on the internet that new hangars are being built at the Middleton, WI airport (Morey Field, C29). Is this true? Are any available? The airport folks referred me to the city of Middleton, but my calls have not been...

Does anyone have a source and part number for Stainless Steel structural screws for the fuel tanks on my 1972 Cherokee 6-300? Spruce, Wag, etc. have them but they are not structural.

I'm getting conflicting information, so pitch in to set me straight. In the archives, I've seen several instances where owners have claimed taking their O-200's over 3000 hrs before overhaul. I believe that with regular oil analysis, this could probably be true. HOWEVER, I've seen other posts...

My rotating beacon stopped rotating and I need to replace it. I would like to do this as economically as possible as I don't do a whole lot of night flying and would rather spend the money on avgas. It seems my options are limited to the Whelen HRCFA strobe - I tried to use a 70509 flasher but...

Does anyone have a copy of the manual that they would xerox and mail to me for a couple of bucks? I have a fully functional unit but no manual. Thanks very much, -- Peter D. Brown http://home.gci.net/~pdb/

Anybody got a 214 service manual that I can borrow for a week. I'll be glad to pay a reasonable "rental" plus send a reasonable deposit plus shipping to get it. I freely admit...to blundering and misreading and then using the KI-211 pinout to wire the interconnect to the 170B. Here's some free...
