Last weekend was the first time I've ever been able to thermal up to a wave -- what an experience! The whole flight was bizarre. The weather conditions were scattered to broken stratus clouds at about 4,000 feet AGL, with weak instability below the clouds and calm surface winds. I hadn't flown...

Anyone know what solvent is safe to use on the markings on my glider? There are some spots to be removed on the red nose markings. I've removed some old lettering off the gelcoat with Acetone and lacquer thinner, so I know those will destroy the markings. The lettering may be lacquer. Chris

Greetings, Does anybody have any information about Tost or Schweizer tow hook STCs for a Pawnee? Our A&P hasn't found any info. Does it require a field approval or is their an STC out there? Thanks, Shawn

OK, what the heck. How about a superlight, turbine powered, short wing, aerobatic, under $40K aircraft that'll do 100 knots under full power, burn 5 gal/hr at 50 knots in level flight, and climb at 500+ ft/min gulping 20 gallons/hr? Prepare for SWAGs (Scientific Wild Ass Guesses)... Here's what...

I am trying to install a tow hitch on a Cessna 172. Does anyone have a = copy of the 337 approving the tow hitch on their 172 that I can show to = our mechanic? Thanks, Roger

Apologies if this posted twice. Contact Cessna. There are factory approved drawings for a Schweizer towhook installation. There is a charge for the drawings, but once you own them, you can install the towhook with nothing more than a logbbook entry. Since it is factory approved additional...
