I've owned a C210 for about a year now and have noticed that my fuel vents, and primarily the left one, seem to be leaking a larger amount of fuel at full tanks than previously. A more experienced C210 owner told me that each of the wing tip vents has a check valve between the vent outlet and the...

Is there a doubler kit for the repair? This is the bulkead that holds the rudder on and also that the tailcone screws on to. 1962 Cessna 182E. The cracks are around the area where the rudder stops hit the screws mounted in the bulkhead. I hope that I don't have to buy a new one and a doubler can...

I was looking over the web site of a flying club that posts the minutes of their meetings. One item said that fuel was running out of the wing of their 172 when the flaps were fully extended because the overflow drain was broken. They asked that the tanks not be completely filled until this...

On Saturday, September 27, EAA 268 is putting on a fly-market and composite workshop "under the control tower" at McCollum field in Marietta,GA. The composite workshop will be fairly basic, and should give someone the kick in the pants necessary to make his/her own fairings or to repair...

Got a problem here, and I'm wondering if anyone else has run into it before. Five years ago (or so) the previous owner of our Cherokee 235 repainted the fiberglass wingtip tanks. Apparently he had an automotive body shop do the fiberglass work, and around the filler necks they used a fiberglass...

Thank you for the excellent info on parts availabilty. On a similar topic, are there any maintenance trouble spots on the older Navions? I was told that the hydraulic system is leaky or troublesome. Is this true, how bad a problem is it and are there any other areas of concern?

Everyone is welcome to drop in for a visit on 1 November for our local flying club annual Fly-in. We have a nice little fly-in and usually have 20 to 30 planes fly in but love to see more. Just stop by and say hello and have a burger. Call on 123.375 when you get in the area if you want to drop...

I just received the October issue of Popular Mechanics. The cover story is about factory built sport planes. You don't need a license. As usual the article is long on hype and short on specifics. I would love to have a scale down of a P-51 Wow wouldn't that be a kick Wally (I've quit posting...

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...

Thanks to everyone for the information, I think I have a basic idea of how to structure the partnership, but the pont of reserves for the avionics, and paint/interior. Any ideas on how to calculate those? Also what about prop overhaul?

Hi, I am looking for a handheld all purpose GPS unit that can be used for aviation, hiking, auto, etc. I want it to be capable of downloading maps (charts, street maps, topos, etc), and be relatively inexpensive and lightweight. Is there such a unit? Any advice from our learned group would be...

Can you help me identify an aircraft? It is a small general aviation single-engine, two-seat, tri-gear, high-wing monoplane. The most distinguishing features are that the canopy has a moderate "bubble" shape, and the wings are swept forward about 5 or 10 degrees. The one I saw (in Fort Stockton,...

A while ago I posted about an incurable oil leak in my '79 TR-182. Turned out to be rings. Decided to get a top overhaul. Now I am breaking in the new cylinders. On one hand I've been told, in capital letters, "DO NOT BABY THE ENGINE" On the other jand I've been told to maintain CHT of 325-350,...

I saw the thread earlier about the Tiger as I was about to type this, but it didn't answer any of my questions, so here goes. I keep seeing the Tiger for sale between $65k and $110k. I always thought these planes were highly desirable. This seems a little cheap compared to other planes the same...

Hi group I need some basic instruction.... I've been noticing tie down ropes. The knots folks use are all over the map. Is there a basic "best" knot for tying down the bird? We're looking at windy weather here in the NE this weekend. The ropes here on the Vineyard are poly-something. A link to a...
