Did you ever notice that fixing one thing often seem to break something else in the old airplanes most of us fly? We just had our new Directional Gyro installed today (just six weeks after our Attitude Indicator failed), and lo and behold, our autopilot works again! The gyros erect immediately,...

I have looked around on the 'net, and cannot find any reference to being able to update an old Apollo loran database (like can be done with the modern GPS units.) I have an Apollo 604, with the latest update (1999, I think.) It seems to me, that there must be some tech-wizards out there who...

Greeting to All, I am investigating the possibility of purchasing my own plane in the next 12 months. With the soft prices on twin airplanes, they are starting to look a little more appealing to me than a big single. I have spent a lot of time investigating costs associated with maintenance so I...

I finally got my plane out of the shop about 5 days ago, two of the things I had installed I had no information on so I thought I would let others know how they turned out incase anyone is thinking of upgrading theirs. I had the PS Engineering 7000b audio panel and the PXE7300 AM/FM/CD player. My...

I heard recently that a 1965 Comanche 260 is the fastest of the Comanche 260s (by about 5 nts). Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone have a favorite year for Comanche 260s in terms of performance or capability? -Sami -- Cyber Defense Agency, LLC - Defending Critical Cyberspace O. Sami Saydjari

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...

Gang: The Northstar M1 Loran in our Warrior has suddenly gone weird on us. It was working great when wifey and I flew up to visit the kids, but the very next day, my plane partner went to use the plane and the Loran kept asking us to input "our code". We have attempted all sorts of numbers to no...

On a trip last week, we flew for 3 hours at 10,000ft. Afterward my wife complained of fatigue and at times during the flight she complained that she couldn't "get enough air". I am thinking that supplemental OX for her would be helpful. I checked the Aerox systems and the other systems, but...

My KT-76A transponder stops working after an hour or so of use. If I pull it out, it feels very hot to the touch. I was thinking of buying another transponder off ebay. Can I just slide mine out and another in myself ? What other transponders are pin and slide-in compatible ? Thanks...

My 1980 B-55 has uneven load distribution on the two alternators, with the right side consistently reading around 15% lower than the left. Is this an indication of a problem with the alternator like a bad diode, or is this normal operating behavior?

Hi, I'm looking for an instructor to help me with my Private Pilot's licence. I have about 20 hours of flight training from an instructor in California, but now I have brought my plane to Chandler's Stellar Airpark and I'm hoping to find an instructor here for around $20/hour (or less :-). Does...
