Hello, folks. I'm fishing to see if anyone else here's had the same problem I'm having. I've got a Pitts S-1D with a Christen wobble fuel pump. The action on it has gotten so stiff when priming that I fear it's close to locking up. It still primes fine and the fuel pressure's good when the...

I'm looking for an airplane capable of carrying 2 persons and two mountain bikes around the country. I'm thinking a C-172 could probably fullfill the mission with folding Montague Mt bikes stored in fabric bags, but that 2 regular Mt bikes would be awkward to store even with the wheels...

I have an ongoing, frustrating oil leak that four mechanics have looked at, "fixed", charged me over $1,000, and have not made a dent in stopping. So here are the clues I can offer. Any help is GREATLY appreciated! 1) I am going through a quart every 2-3 hours 2) The oil is getting down into the...

Well, I did it again this year. I combined a trip to British Columbia with my final destination being Oshkosh, this time in my Amphib equipped Aviat Husky. I am not sure how many bytes I can post in one message, so if it doesn't all make it, I'll post the rest later. Trip Report 2003 Well, where...

I inherited a Scott Executive Mark III portable oxygen system. I can't find anything on the web about this unit. Even Scott's own site ends with the Mk II. The 3 is a boxy unit that straps into the back seat as an armrest. If anyone has a manual for one of these I'd love to get a scan or fax of...

The compass in my plane decided to spontaneously emit fluid all over the glareshield the other day, so I'm looking at options for replacement. I've Googled for opinions on the vertical-card vs whiskey issue, and came away no wiser - anybody care to comment from fairly recent experience? This is...

Alas... I am now the proud owner of a 1978 Cheetah with 868 hours total time. AA5A-0660. Starting the annual tomorrow. Maybe new cam & lifters. A little XC & TLC this fall & winter, then next summer -- gone. Jay -- save me a room (the Connie), and a beer. Maybe two. Too cool.

Has anyone had any experience(good or bad) with Casey Aviation at Mansfield, MA(1B9) airport? Thanks in advance, Pete

The service manual for my 1968 Cessna 320F says the vacuum regulators should be set with the engines at 1700 RPM. If you want to set the right regulator it says to idle the left engine and set power on the right engine to 1700 RPM. At this power setting you should have 5" of suction on the vacuum...

I just bought the Hood Lamb and had to send them back. They simply would not clamp to my David Clark H10-13.4 which have a narrower than usual band. To their credit, they acknowledge this problem with DC's and suggest friction tape to increase the girth of the band. Didn't work...to rinky-dink...

OK, DH is leaning towards the "replace #2 OBS with something more modern" option. Which brings us to the question: I know the KI-209a will accept input from a GPS. Is that just for the left-right course deviation indicator, or is it set up to accept input to the glideslope as well, for use w/...

I can understand why pressurized aircraft need static ports, but why do unpressurized airplanes have them? I wouldn't think the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the airplane wouldn't differ by that much. (When I open the alternate static port in my C185, the altimeter...

Not a Cessna, but I updated my Cherokee Six panel to a T configuration at the same time I updated the gyros (It had the original 1965 gyros) utilizing the existing panel cutouts. As I recall, the cost over the new gyros was about 2 hours of additional shop time. The advantage of using the...

Greetings! I have a '58 Champ undergoing a 'ground up' restoration after a serious groundloop. One of the Nav lights was damaged when the wing tip scraped the ground, and I'd like to repair it if possible. The lamp-holder is really the only thing broken; the wires were torn out, and there's not...

Hi all, Several of us have been renting twins are seriously looking into buying one. We have been renting a Seminole but are looking at a Seneca. I understand the Seneca I is to be avoided. The Seneca II is better and the III is the best in the batch. Our budget appears to be no more than 200K,...
