While taking my new to me'62 Cessna 172 with an O-300 (with about 75 hours on it SMOH with Millenium cylinders), I decided to start leaning as I should on my last flight. During the next preflight I noticed a whitish soot around the exhaust and on the cowl just adjacent to the stack during the...

Hello. I just discovered a White Lightening, still unbuilt, about eight years old. I know nothing about this aircraft and would appreciate some help. Determining value, build time, UK certification, etc etc. Anything you can help with. It could be for sale.........to you! Nice 2+2 seater,...

A friend of mine who is an experienced commercial and airshow pilot, but who is not too internet savvy asked me a question today which I couldn't answer - but I am hoping that someone here can. He is currently looking to sell a brand new custom built aircaft which was built with one specific goal...

Does anyone here know which planes you could choose if you wanted to fly with 4 passengers and luggage from Canada to Europe? Do you have to go over $500K to get a plane that could do that? I've tried doing research but can't find answers. Would you and can you refuel in Greenland then Iceland?...

I have the opposite problem from the usual "four seats doesn't mean four pax" problem -- I'm looking for an aircraft with typical four-place load (and price) to carry five small passengers and minimal baggage. What aircraft are out there on the used market (including hombuilts!) which can safely,...

The Lycoming 0-360 A4M in our Archer is now 2250 SMOH and we are intending to fit an exchange overhauled engine very soon. The decision to pull the engine out was easy compared with trying to decide on the engine to buy. We have a number of quotes and researched factory and field...

I've been browsing various aircraft for ownership and cant decide. It must easily carry 2 people with some baggage at least 600km at the minimum cost. IFR is preferable. Engine OH costs should be minimal. Speed/looks/noise are non-issues. Must be all-metal however. I've seen the zenith kit...

Hey folks, I'm starting a flying club with a Light-Sport Aircraft and I can't decide what type of plane to buy. (I'm going to buy and then sell the shares. Doing it the other way around seems to lead to nothing but talk and procrastination.) I, personally, have become infatuated with light...

Not simple. Questions abound: depending on type engine, type induction, whether turbocharged, field altitude, density altitude, formula gasoline (Some people love autogas), and much more. For example if your plugs aren't gapped correctly you're going to have a serious problem sooner...

I'm currently living in SW Connecticut and my plane is in Danbury, where is the best place to get Aeroshell 100? Can I get it locally or should I mail order? I used to get it at Sams Club, but they don't carry it here. Where is the best place to get it mail order? Thanks as always Dave

I have a KX170A with a MAC1700 face plate. I was told JA or JS Avionics in Chicago area can repair this, but I am looking for a closer place (I am in Seattle Area). Local avionics shops told me that they would send it to JS Avionics too. Thanks, Baha Acuner

Is there a place one can get the historical price of new planes for the past 10-20 years ? Want to know how the price of planes moved up over the years. Second question is about the price difference between the manufactures and the dealers. Can one project that the bigger the difference, the...

Hi Folks... Any direction on where I can find a used Mooney muffler? 1966 M20E. Thanks, -dr

Hi! Thanks for the replies on the engine replacement. I have come to the conclusion that it is easiest to get the job done in Norway were we live to avoid the hassle of paperwork. However, we are also looking into a new paintjob and possibly some soundproofing, as well as new interior. Is there...
