Jim, you and your company were quite courteous on a prop bolt exchange, so I was gonna order some more mdse. And still hope to, even after this. This morning I tried to order a Concorde battery for a friend's 172, and the surly woman in Griffin rejected the card, for curious reasons. After a...

I know alot of you guys and gals are pilots and we need your help. The National Park Service is soliciting comments regarding this and everyone is welcome to post their comments with the NPS. The only thing required in the comment is to support the lease extension or not. To date some radical...

Does anyone out there have experience with having installed a tanis heater when a engine analyzer is already in place. I have a JPI Classic Scanner (EGT/CHT) that had bayonnet-type probee for CHT. Tanis has a kit designed for this sitation, but after we installed the kit, none of the CHT readings...

I have a sticky main strut in my Pa-28-151. My engineer has suggested changing the o-rings and valves of both struts. I was curious about the whole structure and have looked everywhere in the internet with no luck Any suggestions where I could find them? Gus

What is the performance details for 150hp conversion C152. How does it compare with PA18-150? thanks, Arthur

You may have seen some of my threads over the past 6-8 months, about an unpredictable flakey radio problem I was having. It seemed to have been resolved by replacing a relay in the audio panel. I have flown the plane for a few months now, with no issues, until recently. I have encountered the...

I just got my first issue of "Light Plane Maintenance" magazine. I am really enjoying it. In their free book "40 Top Maintenance Tips" (p27), they say "get the Halon extinguisher while they are still legal." As I recall, there has been some issue that inhaling Halon can be pretty bad for people's...

I have a piper turbo arrow with a TSIO-360-FB engine. It has the original waste gate on the turbo, and an after market turbo plus intercooler. I recently made a long trip, and got the plane up to 14000 for the first time in a long time. I was having trouble keeping the exhaust temp down. I had the...

My dad has a '67 260 - totally awesome aircraft - very fast! His is worth approx $100,000, but has nice paint and interior. Off the cuff, I'd say $65,000 sounds good, but you could check the value on the AOPA website, if you are a member. Also, the International Comanche Society is a good source...

One of the tachs in our Aztec has been acting kind of flakey, usually reading too high when above 2100 rpms, (I've checked it several times with an optical tach) so I've been contemplating our options of replacing both tachs with a single dual needle tach. This would open up some panel...

I have one of these in my plane. For over a month, I cannot figure out how to program it, and my plane comes with no documentation on this radio. Can anyone hlep? Thanks in advance. Robin Hou

Just saw an article by AP. It seems that Auburn University has made a breakthrough in fuel cell research. They now have a practical way of catalytically separating the hydrogen from the carbon and sulphur in conventional fuels such as diesel. When used in a vehicle equipped with a fuel cell, fuel...

There have been various posts going back a ways on the comm "strength" of the GNS430 versus other radios. I've "solved" my particular problem by adjusting the mic gain on the unit itself. I've had various "complaints" about my carrier strength over the years with various ATC facilities so I was...

So we hop in the plane yesterday for the 50 minute flight to Janesville, WI, and I notice that the display on our JPI EDM-700 engine analyzer looks funny. Some of the LED numbers are missing pieces. Most are not. All the vertical graph/bars appear to be fine. Now for the odd part: The missing...
