PA28-181 - Stuck Mike - King Silver Crown by
Roy Page
My Archer has the original avionic stack, KMA20, KX170B, KX170B etc.
Single PTT on Left Yoke.
A couple of weeks ago the mike stuck open at the end of a 2 hour flight.
The following morning I checked the system and found that I still had a

cost of panel upgrade on bonanza by
soxinbox
I am getting ready to buy my first plane. I am considering an early 60s
bonanza or debonair. Some of these planes don't have a standard "six pack"
panel layout, and I was wondering if anyone had an idea of how much this
would cost to upgrade. I probably would update the radios at the same time,
but...

RST-565 Audio Panel by
Jim Weir
I just inadvertently deleted a message from a fellow that had a noise level
question about a new airplane he bought with one of my RST-565 audio panels. I
checked the "delete" instead of "forward" box out of my spam filter.
If anybody knows who I might be talking about, could you please have them...

Stiction in the yoke by
Jay Honeck
A previous owner, in an attempt to make his yokes move more freely, used dry
graphite in the yokes on our Pathfinder.
Of course, as moisture and condensation came and went, this graphite clumped
up and got gritty. This would restrict motion, so he apparently added MORE
graphite.
Long story...

pitot tube questions by
Jim Burns
The pitot heat has failed on our Aztec. No heat, not even warm, no amperage
draw. Circuit breaker, switch, leads, and ground all check ok.
Now here's the strange part. We get correct voltage across the leads and we
get continuity across the terminals on the tube. No continuity from...

I have a Cherokee with factory-installed wing tip strobes. I have an
original (1977) King Silver Crown avionics package, including audio
panel, KX170Bs, etc. ...

Piper Wing Lighting by

Has anyone had any experience with the 'skylight' brand of wing lighting? I
have never heard of it until today when I saw it in a flyer for Cherokee Pilots
Assoc. I have been looking at wingtip lighting... but it's pricey. The
skylight lighting is mounted into the leading edge, rather than the...

Better way than Wet Rates? by
Tim Hogard
A friend and I are considering buying a plane that will be on
leaseback to a flight school.
I was wondering if the days of the "Wet Rates" are numbered with
fuel cost going up so high. As far as I can tell, renting planes
with fuel goes back to well before the '70s and I was wondering
what other...

Hello,
reading the "no RPM drop..." thread gave rise to a question: what is the
benefit (if there is any) of the "dual magneto" (two magnetos in a single
housing) installation? Should these kind of installation be preferred, or
avoided (if there is a choice ;-)?
Thanks in advance for the...

how to get started as AC broker? by
Bill
(Looking for serious replies please...)
I am a ATP pilot with a general aviation background, and am growing
tired of the insecurity of the (no matter where you work) "pro pilot
job." Pagers, on call, no real vacations, etc, etc.
Another friend of mine, also an ATP, feels the same way. However...
