Found the power supply. Seems the Beech C23 books were wrong. The power supplies are located in the wing tips. Jack Sundowner - N6363U

http://www.manxsr.com/afton/flyin.htm This is the website from the National Cherokee Pilot's Association fly-in, held this past June at the Shangrila Resort in Afton, OK. As you can see, it was very well attended, well organized, and a good time was had by all. For those of you with Cherokees --...

Anyone have one of the first units? WxWorx website is stating they are now shipping. Looking for some firsthand reports. I gave up on Garmin's GDL-49 (tactically useless), and Control Vision (transponder interference problems with some KT-76 transponders and flaky downloads in some areas of the...

Is is possible to make a living instructing without taking an oath of poverty? I would love to instruct full time but the rates seem downright insulting. The only instuctors I know are either young kids waiting to get on with the majors, or geezers who drive rusted out Ford Pintos and can't afford...

It is not starting out to be a great day --- Murphy is in the area yet again. I just bought a new Whelen Comet power supply for my wingtip strobe lights. The old one works, but I really like the visibility of the Comet multi-flash. This should be a simple upgrade; just remove the old power...

Okay, so I finally got some time here to post the pics from Oshkosh 2003. Got a couple of good ones from the Rec.Aviation party that we hosted at our campsite in the North 40... See 'em at http://www.alexisparkinn.com/oshkosh_2003.htm Look closely, and you'll see pix of Ron & Margy getting...

Hi, since this is discussed here frequently: - Diamond has selected the Williams FJ-33 powerplant for its D-Jet - Thielert claims to have 50 Centurion 1.7 diesel engines flying in the hand of customers, 40 of which in Diamond DA40 Stars, 10 in converted 172s. They have racked up 5000 hours so...

Once again the right engine feathered and shut down after landing. It only happenes when the engine is hot. If we just make a lap around the field and land everythings fine. We took it up for 20 min and landed and the right side did it again. I just got the props back from the prop shop the 2nd...

I'm on a roll now -- so here's a new page of pix Mary and I took at the National Air Tour stop yesterday, in Anoka, MN. If you like old planes, find the nearest place the tour is stopping, and get thee to it! http://www.alexisparkinn.com/national_air_tour.htm Enjoy! --

2 friends & I are starting to look at Cherokee 180's to buy. We're in a flying club, but want our own plane. My biggest question at this point is how to arrange pre-purchase inspections. Especially when the plane is far away from our home base (KSPI). Is there a resource somewhere where we can look...

Last month I posted a message asking whether the Oil Temp Gauge and line could be repaired on my 1974 Cessna 172. The Cessna dealer quoted around $450 for a new one. My notes indicate that Mark suggested I send the Gauge and line that broke to Air Parts of Lockhaven. He said he had one done for...

I'm pulling out my older RF gear 1 by 1 to use a little Radio Shack contact cleaner on the interior switches. On my Nav radio I noticed a bank of rotary resistors (guess they are resistors since they are labeled R1, R2 etc.) and I am tempted to treat them and turn the pots back and forth a bit to...

Anyone have any feedback on the dual vacuum-pump STC from Aero Advantage? I'm considering it for my M20J. Need to convince my partners. Info on the STC at http://www.aeroadvantage.com I just spoke to company president David Boldenow, and he said there were about 100 units installed in the fleet....

There's (understandably) a lot of discussion about Piper vs. Cessna vs. Mooney... I'm considering a (Rockwell) Commander 114B. Their marketing hype makes it seem that the Commanders have a much better safety record than their competition. Anyone have any input on that? How about maintenance...

I have a 48x60' hangar that I want to insulate for the upcoming MN winter. What are my options, and what works the best? Anyone from this area have any vendors that they can recommend? I will also be adding some much needed overhead lighting. Any recommendations here? I am not a millionaire,...
