Ignition leads by
C Kingsbury
So a few weeks back I posted here about large mag drops and electrical noise
on the radio. Many posters prognosticated that an ignition lead was to
blame, and when the mechanic opened the cowling, this was confirmed- one
lead gone beyond repair.
He put all leads on a tester, and said the other 7...

Flying under Class B by

What is the minimum legal distance (altitude) to fly VFR under a Class B
"wedding cake"? CLE has a 1900 ft floor at the north side by Lake Erie and I
have flown at 1800 to go around CLE. I was not talking to CLE so I don't know
if they objected. Today I was coming around CLE decending IFR. When...

Step-up Planning by
O. Sami Saydjari
I now own a PA28R201T, Piper Turbo Arrow III. It is a great plane
(although, as some of you know, I have had more than my share of
"challenges"). At altitude it cruises at 170 knots. Cost to operate is
around $90/hour (figuring maintenance and such). My range requirement
is 660nm with 45...

Low oil pressure, high oil temp? by
Roy Smith
This spring, my club bought a 1973 200 HP Arrow with about 500 hours on
the engine. Shortly after we bought it, we had to replace several
cylinders and one piston (I'm not sure of the details of why they needed
to be replaced).
The oil pressure always indicates at the low end of the green...

turbo stc? by
The Weiss Family
Has anyone heard of either a turbo or supercharger STC for an IO-360?
In particular, an IO-360-A2B?
It seems that there would be a HUGE market for a turbo upgrade.

Impulse Coupling on Magneto by
Kai Glaesner
Hello community,
I have a question I think some of you may be able answer: in most(?)
reciprocating engine installations, the left magneto seems to have a impulse
coupling, enabling the magneto to produce a spark strong enough for ignition
even at low (starter cranking) RPM's.
The question: does...

"Speed" tape? by
Jay Honeck
At Reno, all the Formula One and Sport class racers had every single

Which got me to thinking, there are LOTS of non-aerodynamic gaps on my
Pathfinder.
The stuff looks like basic, clear packing tape. Anyone used this stuff? Is
there any benefit at...

Repairing Fiberglass Wheel Pants, Part II by

I stopped by the shop this morning, to see how the wheel pants were

What a difference! All of the wowed-out holes have been backed with
aluminum that has been riveted to the old fiberglass, and then
fiberglassed and filled over and around. High stress areas have been
reinforced, and...

There have been A2B, A3A,A4A,A4M,A1B6 And C1E6 listed.

Garmin 430 VOR reception by
Maik
Hi!
I have a SL30 and a GNS 430 in my plane. They use the same antenna via a
splitter.
When I dial in the same VOR in both units the SL30 catches up the
radials always between 20 and 50 nautical miles earlier than the GNS
430! (Altitude about 3000 ft, flat area)
Is this normal?
