Does anyone know if there is an STC for use of auto fuel in a PA32-260. I've been unable to find one. At $3.30/gal for avgas at KBHM I've got to stop the bleeding a bit. Thanks in advance. Bruce McFadden Birmingham, AL PA32-260 N5594J

I know to remove a Narco radio (Com 810) there is a hole and you insert a key... kind of like opening a CD-ROM tray with it powered off. So, my question is, if I don't have this key, what makes a good substitute? I tried using a 2" jewelers phillips screwdriver but it apparently wasn't long enough....

Guys, I am trying to figure out how to extend the cable for the 396 antenna so i can route the cable in the right way... Have you guys seen a mini usb extension cord or connectors? Or can I simply cut the cord and splice in a foot or so? Let me know what you think?

I have had intermittent problems with 0-320 exhaust studs working loose, usually with overhauled cylinders. I understand it if I have a stubborn nut to remove for a gasket change and the stud comes out with it. I figure that if I reuse that stud/nut again I am asking for it to work back loose...

The wife and I just back from our Oregon vacation that you helped us plan. You guys did a wonderful job. Day 1: Left OKC on a Canadair regional jet to Phoenix. Boarded a 737 whose APU wouldn't start. 107 degrees on the tarmac and no AC. And we left our Cherokee at home why? Oh well. Landed...

Is there any reason I can't remove my factory OAT and throw it out? I have a mechanical OAT gauge but would rather just use my EDM OAT gauge. The JPI says their gauge is only certified as "supplemental" but does the FAA even care if I have an OAT at all? I've been replacing the original OAT gauge...

Hey Gang, Sorry for the crosspost but I just got a project dropped into my lap and I could use some help. BCT Bloomington Civic Theatre is doing Jesus Christ Superstar http://www.bloomingtoncivictheatre.org/ Yup, opens next week. They want to try something - Videos. 90 seconds worth:

I had a strange experience with our CNX-80 earlier today. Heading back into HPN, we tried to bring up the approach frequency 126.4, and discovered it wasn't in the database. There were the normal secondary freqs (120.8 and 124.65), but no 126.4. Then I looked up DXR (Danbury, right next...

Hello everyone. I'm continuing my quest to buy the best deal in America today. Another option I've looked at is purchasing a low price Cessna with an engine that's past it's recommended time between major overhaul. Some of the sellers I've spoken with are insistent that recomended times...

Anyone know what it should cost to get a cs three blade prop inspected. Last overhaul in 1989, hours since 5.9 (yes 5.9). Aircraft stored majority of time in a hangar in a non-corrosive climate. No damage on props, paint still looks fresh (even on leading edge). What are the rules on prop...

Here's a joke for you that I got from another thread, The Public Works Minister of a former French colony in Central Africa is in France in an official visit. He is invited for a dinner at the private house of his French counterpart. When he reaches the place, he can't refrain to say: - My...

Group question RE Painting the Plane. I'm located west of Cleveland, Ohio. I've heard good things about Sky Harbour in Goderich Ontario. Any comments or suggestions for good shops closer? Thanks Chuck

Just taking a swag at what it might cost to buy and own a $40,000 plane in the Cherokee class, here is what I came up with. Feedback from those who are wiser appreciated: Assumption: $40,000 plane bought with a 15-year 7.5% loan with 20% down. Startup costs: Down payment: $8,000 Loan fees: ...

I am now able to reproduce my charging problem. Engine off, Bat and Alt on: Bus voltage: 24.8 Supply to Voltage Regulator: 22.6 Voltage Regulator Output to Alt Field: 21.6 I'm thinking maybe I should rig a jumper from Bus to the Voltage regulator to see if the problem has to do with that 2.2v...

Guess the real question is: At what altitude is a pressure suit required? Was SpaceShip One pressurized? All we saw was Melville with an O2 mask. You always see the U2 pilots with full pressure suits, but I guess that could be because of the duration at altitude? Since Melville was only...
