Laptop GPS and airspace by
Marty from Sunny Florida
I use a navman GPS with a few mapping utilities, my favorite being MS
Streets and Trips. Has anyone added sectional data to software designed for
road travel (ie. aviation map in tiff form overlayed over the standard map)?
Any suggestions would be appreciated ....

Vibration Testing by
Jim Weir
I've come across a marvelously cheap vibration sensor that I want to convert
into an engine vibration instrument for a Kitplanes article. The electronics
for me is relatively trivial...the mechanics of vibration are a little harder to
fathom.
From a mechanical engineering point of view on a...

PA28: Difference in constant speed prop vs fixed pitch by
Nathan Young
I have a PA28-180 with a fixed 60inch pitch prop. I have always
wondered how much faster it would be if it had a constant speed prop.
I'm hoping someone with a PA28-235 (which has a constant speed prop)
could look up their speed for a reduced power setting, for example 57%
which would correspond...

Questions for Airpark Dwellers by
Brett Justus
1. Has anyone had difficulty getting a VA loan because the house is
on an airpark or because it has a hangar associated with it?
2. How hard is it to get homeowners insurance and how much extra
cost?
Thanks,

Cracked cylinder: Typical cause? by
Peter R.
What would be the most likely reason a cylinder in a high-time engine

NoseDragger Dragger by
AXA
Hello,
Has anyone ever purchased or use this tow from www.dragger.com?
Spruce sells it as well.
I need to push an aircraft up a small slope. I'm concerned that this
product would try a pull/push UNDER the nose wheel if too much
resistance is against the plane. It doesn't take too much to lift...

where do you buy it (was which oil to you use?) by
The Weiss Family
It seems a majority of us use AeroShell 15W-50.
Has anyone found a really cheap place to get it.
There is a Shell distributor near my home that I was going to call on

Watch out for the Brokers by
Dude
Not the plane brokers, the stock brokers.
Their recent strategy, show up to airplane shows and get their hands on all
the cards they can.
I don't know how they got mine, but they left a message saying they had the
research I asked for(?), and that I should call right back.
Now that its happened...

Diesel aircraft engines and are the light jets pushing out the twins? by
Dude
I don't see the fuel burn on the small turbines competing with the diesels,
but there are some attempts at getting close to the Lycosaur level.
Here is one - http://www.innodyn.com/
Don't know anything about them though.
As for light jets pushing down demand for twin piston and turbo props,...

Piper Arrow IV fuel pressure by
MC
Does your fuel-pressure gauge fluctuate noticibly ?
Mine vibrates at about a 3Hz rate between the
middle and bottom of the green-band.
Engine runs fine...
Turning-on the electic pump reduces the amplitude of
the swing and stablizes it at around mid gauge.
Is this 'normal' ??

The dumbest thing we've done, yet... by
Jay Honeck
So last night (our "Friday" night) Mary and I spent four hours at the
hangar, remounting our "new" wheel pants.
At the same time we decided to change the oil and filter, which had around
35 hours on them. Knowing that we would be doing this, yesterday I had
attached the hose to the quick-drain on...

High Oil Pressure (was: Low oil pressure, high oil temp?) by

What about high oil pressure. My factory zero time O-235C1 is running

p.s.i.
(Idling 25 p.s.i.)
