Anybody know of a source for printing bank checks with my own plane on it?

I have the Zulu and the Bose. I like my Bose but Zulu wins hands down. Whereas, both have good noise reduction, Zulu is noticeably better in blocking out the noise. The Zulu has the bluetooth that syncs with the cel phone. Bose doesn't. Very handy when making a call from the ground or low...

Ok, you avionics wonks, here's one for you. KNS-80 problem... Around the time of installing the GPS, the groundspeed on the KNS-80 began reading 00 KTS under all conditions while flying BUT when pinged on the ground--in the aircraft--immediately reads the correct value even with the test signal...

Just this past week my Bonanza V35's pitot heat element failed. I had a mechanic look at it to determine if the cause was power/wiring related or if the element itself had failed. Of course, it was the element itself that had failed, which apparently in the Bonanza's case means a new pitot...

Lots of chatter about Garmin's, but no one talks about the Chelton avionics. Looking at TAP recently it seems the prices are very close to the same for similarly equipped panels. I understand that Garmin appears to be cheaper to piece meal together and that the Chelton appears to be an all or...

Does anyone know what the current commission rates are for leaseback. The rates the flight school's take off the top.

In CNX80 User Newsletter number 1 at http://www.garmin.com/manuals/GNS480_GNS480_CNX80_Newsletter_1st_Edition.pdf on page 5, the author refers to "... a 'happy-box' that accepts the roll steering output commands from the CNX80 and turns them into voltage outputs that mimic the inputs from the...

Amomg other planes, I've been considering the classic Aeronca 15AC Sedan, and was wondering what to look for or to avoid when doing a pre-buy. Also, general comments good and bad about the plane? There aren't many for sale to use as reference, I know NAAA and Vref list them in the mid to upper...

OK, guys... I'm making an official announcement. "Airplanes don't kill people!, people kill people!" This statement is hereby mine and none of you better use it without my concent! LOL. Monday I'm going to the T-shirt shop and ordering me 1000 units of various sizes. Let me know if anyone...

Spring is almost here (ok, I probably just jinxed it) and we're wanting to really clean up the Aztec before applying a good base coat of wax for the summer. We've got a little oxidation and some fuel streaking, but mostly just hanger dust, belly oil, runway grime, tire, brake, and exhaust dust to...

When I was in flight school I asked why GA aircraft don't have windshield wipers and was told that it's because the prop blows the rain off - really - that's what they told me. Now I fly lots in rain. This past 2 weeks I have flown in more rain than I ever wanted to see - and the prop definitely...

I've been tasked by my flying club http://flyingclub.org/ with a job I've been trying to do informally anyway: design our "panel of the future", and draw up a plan for getting from our current state to there. The mandate is pretty wide, though I get the feeling that an electric AI is more likely...

Got a call from the mechanic "fuel cap gaskets are worn, need replacement" me: fine, replace gaskets Another call from mech "uhh, no part number on the fuel caps, not normal piper part, therefore no approved gasket can be found, have to replace caps AND gaskets" me: OK, I guess no...

Anyone have any recommendations for aviation software for the Palm PDA. I'm thinking of AirCalc Pro through AvShop but there's a bunch of stuff available from Palm Gear that's also shareware.

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' ??

Do you even know what the definition of Fascism is? Do you realize how oxymoronic using the phrase "Islamo-Fascist" makes you appear? Actually, that wonderfully descriptive term was coined (or, at least, repeated here) by this group's very own Don Tabor, DDS. I think is quite nicely sums up...

Hi everyone, Saw this group and wanted to say a quick hello and introduce you to Plane Pieces Inc.( www.planepieces.com ). Plane Pieces Inc specializes in the sale of airplane parts. We are currently selling chrome like propeller blades, but will continue to have a vast array of items including,...

I am reading the FARs and am having a hard time figure out whether I can slide out my old radios and have them upgraded and put them back in. Slide in and out only no wiring or changing the shelf itself. Or do I need A&P inspection?

Did anyone else notice that the C195 on EAA's August calendar / wallpaper http://www.eaa.org/wallpaper/images/august04/cessna195_640.jpg has a backwards-turning prop? Dave

Our club owns a 1978 172. The little tabs that hold the pilots side air vent in the tube have come out and been lost, so when you get up to speed, it just pops out (makes the right seat nice adn cool this time of year, but will be a problem in winter). Any ideas on easy fixes or finding the...
