Had to replace the cast iron/steel/whatever cylinder (Piper part 65319) on my cherokee a couple years ago because of a crack (which later was an AD, but my A&P caught it early). The shop presented it to me with the comment "it'll make a *great* lamp base!". Well, not for me. I don't think any of...

Full disclosure - I am an 86 year old ex pilot,but my soul is still in the cockpit. Don't know how pertinent this is, but I got a lot of free time nowadays. Back in the late '60's we had a flying club - 3 planes including a 7AC Champ. An airline pilot temporarily stationed locally joined the...

I have used a Microflo for 4000 hours now. I have found that unless you leave power on for about one minute after setting FOB, the gal remaining, or the fuel used, I can't remember which, will not be correct.

Can anyone point me to: 1) A good airband radio, for listening to commercial aircraft and CTAFs? I have a pretty good one, but it's old and analog so it's difficult to zero in on a frequency, and there can sometimes be 2 active frequencies that are only 0.025 MHz apart, so I'd like to go...

Has anyone had any problems updating their garmin 196 using Windows Vista as the operating system? Thank you for your thoughts on this topic.
