Does anyone have a source for a Cessna 180 100 hour/annual checklist? No results from Google or Alta Vista searches. Thanks...

I was wondering if someone could give some insight into the various options for a carb temp guage for my 67 skylane with a Continental 0-470.

Hello all, may be some one could help me out. I purchased a 1967 C-182 K this summer with a Continental 470. When I pull out the carb the RPMs drop considerably(200+rpm). I believe that it is creating a rich mixture as on a run up I can get the rpms to come back up by leaning. I guess I'm just...

I'm thinking of buying a 182 or 182 RG. I like cessnas and the 182 is such an honest airplane it's hard to beat. I'd just like it to be a bit faster. If all of the speed mods are done to a normal C-182 , Good wheel pants, speed fairings, gap seals etc..... how fast is it? For comparision how...

Good day all, I have a 67 C-182. Since I purchased the plane this summer the pilots seat seemed to recline to far back. After some investigation it appeared as though someone had replaced the Pawls that lock the seat in position with the incorrect ones. The ones installed were from a 172 so I...

I was speaking with a somewhat smug fellow the other day who claimed older C-182's (1968 that I'm looking at) had inefficient wings and that the Continental would not make it to 1500 hours; 1300 if I'm lucky. (The one I'm looking at has 61 SMOH; about 5000 total; new paint, interior, etc.). As...

The white, blue and black 1961 IFR Cessna 210A that had been listed by me on ebay a month or so ago was wrecked by a windstorm / squall line before it could be relisted. The aircraft was flipped out of the tiedown. Engine was NOT running but prop blades are bent. It has been listed again as a...

Can anyone describe the way the rudder stop mod on Cessna 150s should look? I went to rent a 150 and the way the AD was incorporated didn't look right so I passed on the flight. The stops were attached to the rudder horn (? the curved metal portion) by drilling three holes and riveting the stops...

Hi, I´m looking for advice on mounting wheel fairings to a 1973 C150. Is there anything that I have to consider aside from having the right mounting plates ? Thanks !

Anyone use the child seat in a C172? I am looking for experiences so I can make the call of whether to invest in one. Currently, I am looking at a C172M w/180HP, but have 3 kids under 8 and want to take the family up for some rides. If I could afford a larger plane, I would. Where would I get...

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...

I have two different after-market fuel caps on my C172. The right tank cap is vented; the left is not. Should both be vented? Is a properly functioning vented cap one that only allows air to flow into the tank?

Hello Does anyone have any experiance with the Pann Yan 180 HP engine conversion. I have a couple of questions? 1) How many hours did it really take to install it. 2) What is an expected increase in aircraft value? 3) How do you like it? 4) Does it really go 151 MPH

Our 172 has two screws missing from under the wing where it connects to the fuselage above passenger door. The size of those screws are quite big. My question is whether they are important to the stuctural integrity of the wing ? They may have come off during flight due to the vibrations. But...

My friend owns a 77 172N. Eats Landing lights. A real pain to change with the cowling. I recently read in an old copy of Aviation Consumer Buyers guide that some of the N models are known to do this and that there's a Landing Light Improvement Kit from Cessna. I could not find one online Does...

My 172N has suddenly developed a problem where Flap actuation switch does not work during 1st 10 degree position and requires lever to be around 12 degree before flaps work. Flap indicator will not return to zero and remains at above 10 degrees. Flaps travel to 40 degrees OK and work well as long...

I am looking for a used (can be well used) headliner for a C-175A. Needs to be in the free to cheap price range. The plan is to use it for a pattern. This way I can make a headliner in a design and texture which is not available without going to a custom shop. Since this is going to be an...

I have a 1978 C182 Q. I recently experienced my alternator turning off and the high voltage light coming on. I cycled the switch (1/2 master) and got it to reset every time, however, the interval between episodes varied. I had the Voltage Regulator and the Alternator replaced (new) and flew a...

Is there any information available about the new SMA jet fuel engines that are being offered for the C182? I'm curious if maintenance would be much of an issue. Are there many shops that can handle working on them? Is it a replace only like the Centurion 1.7 on the Diamond airplanes? Or can it be...
