What does it cost for your annual? Some shops around here now give an estimate then add for parts and extra labor. I think some shops like to make a killing. I want all the airworthy item taken care of and AD's complied with, but would pay by the hour. I have a Cessna 172 in good shape.

My flying club in Germany has purchased a 1972 Piper Pawnee PA25-235 "C" as a restoration project. Now we are looking for some big sketches (construction papers, blueprints or building plans?) of the aircraft with the drawing we need for the work on the aircraft giving all detail information on...

Lots of room in the shoulder harness, but need a couple of short (2"-4") extenders for the lap belts. The POH / Manual states that the belts are Schroth Type 5-01-1C0701, Part No. 000918. The shoulder belts are integrally attached to the lap belt buckle, thus a longer extension could compromise...

Does anyone know if there's still a Twin Beech (Beech 18) type club?
