Hello to all, Black is black : http://www.airliners.net/open.file/433101/M/ Dummy

I own an airplane and am considering partnering in an ultralight just for fun. I'm looking for information. There seems to be too much on the net. I'm looking to purchase a used two seater in the 10-12K range. I'm interested in training also. Can anyone point me to an appropriate website? ...

Looking for options to replace the original factory Turn/Slip in a 64 M20C. It seems to have a volt meter in it. So is there any specific requirement to replace it with a specific TC? Would prefer a TC as opposed to Turn/Slip. If someone has done it and can point me to the...

Has anyone upgraded their older Strikefinder(plasma screen) to the newer(LED) model? My display is getting very weak and hard to read and I thought I heard Insight would upgrade your older plasma model to the newer model at a decent price. TIA, Pete

My new partner and I are looking at a 1975 Mooney M20C. It is a nicely upgraded IFR plane with a 400 hour O-360 engine. It is a rather high time airplane (7000) hours and the price reflects this fact. It is being sold by the owner of the FBO we fly out of for one of his friends. They just finished...

Gang, I am peparing to purchase a Long EZ (a very nice one, at that). While I have the cash, I figure I'm better financing a portion of hte airplane for various reasons (likely 60-70%). Am I going to have difficulty finding a lender for an Experimental category aircraft that is already built and...

I was wondering exactly which parts are generaly NOT replaced in an engine overhaul. Assume all new cylinders/pistons/rings/pushrods. I know that the crank is often not replaced if it checks to spec, and the cam may be reground and replaced but what about other parts? Are the con rods usually...

Sorry for the broadcast but I seem to have lost my extra datacard for my GNS430. Does anoyone happen to have en extra one they'd like to unload? Of course, I don't need to have any data on there (in other words, not looking to scam for a more updated database). Thanks, Marco

Long story: I'm looking at purchasing a 1974 PA-32-300 advertised as having a engine with 600 hours on it since new. After reviewing the engine logs and doing some digging online, I find that the engine was exported by Lycoming to Poland, where it was fitted to a PZL-104M. It stayed there for...

Hello, We have a 67 Mooney m20e Super 21 with the original interior. Needless to say it is quite dated. The plane flies great, fast and is fuel efficient... but it just doesn't look great. Some of the plastic is cracked and turning yellowish and the upholstery is wearing. I am wondering if...

When counterboring brake lining sin prep for riveting them in place, how much material should I leave in place between the bottom of the rivet head and the metal drum? These are Shinn brakes. - Mike

Googling the group yielded little so here goes... 1979 172, overall average condition with mostly original radios and wiring (one RT-385 recently replaced by a TKM radio, M1 Loran from a few centuries ago) The Cessna 300 ADF has gone flaky. The box tests fine on the bench which suggests a wild...

It's been a busy summer, and I can't remember the...

As part of due dilligence in deciding whether or not to buy a plane and if so how, I would like some feedback from people in small partnerships (2-3 partners). How do you usually handle scheduling? Do you divide up the calendar ("every other week is mine") and if so how flexible is it? Or do...

You still have today (Saturday) and tomorrow to go see the Sussex, New Jersey airshow.. Flew in yesterday for the show and it was great. The volunteers did a great job and were always helpful and friendly. The airshow was pretty much non stop from about 1:00 till 5:00. The new x-team masters of...
