Well, today I put a deposit on an airplane! It's a 1961 C-175B with an upgrade to an O360 with a constant speed prop. What a sweet plane, always hangared with 2268TT. I only will own 1/3 of it, but the other two partners only flew 200 hours in the last three years total. Can't wait to take her out....

IT'S SIMPLE AND IT'S LEGAL, YOU JUST NEED TO READ THE ENTIRE MESSAGE AND TO TAKE ACTION, NOTHING MORE!!!!!!! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it a little while back, I was browsing through news groups just as you are right now and came across a article similar to this saying that...

Does anybody know what would be the oldest Cessna 182 that one could re-configure into a standard T "8-pack"? I've seen a '69 done this way, but older models look like they have a curved panel with less room. Thanks! -- Jim Burns III Remove "nospam" to reply

Hello, Has anyone have first hand experience with both the Argus 5000 and Argus 5000ce. I know a lot of users have transitioned to the CE, but functionality-wise they are about the same. (minus the color, of course) My biggest issue is that I sometime deplore the contrast of my 5000 unit,...

Okay, gang, last chance to get the details. Here's how it's gonna work: Thursday night, immediately after the airshow, we're having a rec.aviation get together at our campsite in the North 40 campground. We'll have a few drinks (*gasp*!), and then head on over to Friar Tucks for dinner. To find...

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...

We made it home successfully yesterday from our first Oshkosh adventure. It was a great experience and we look forward to going again. We arrived last Sunday afternoon, had Monday to get settled in the North 40 and 3 days at the show, departing Friday. We left mid-morning under overcast skies, and...

All the experts I read on this board are either for or against Synthetics or Semi Synthetics. But most seem to take as Gospel the words of a Guy (Mechanic or FBO) who makes a LOT of money from fixing your Engines. Do you think po poing a product is based on good will or business sense? I would...

Things I still need to see at OshKosh: 1. I haven't been to see the Warbirds yet. I lived there as a teenager. Really neat to walk up and see a Spit... 2. Haven't been to the flight line for the airshow. Go down and sit about Row 70. That 's right where all the warbirds get airborne and good...

I'm in the process of purchasing my first airplane. A 1980 Piper Archer II. Can anyone offer advice on where to go for financing. I filled out an application on line and thought I had financing approved. It turns out all I have is a quote with a lengthy approval process to follow. So I need...

Does anybody know or have any experience with Capital Aircraft Sales, Lakeway, TX (Austin area) and Jack Anderson? Also, does anybody know of a good AP/I in that area for a prebuy inspection on a Cherokee? Thanks -- Jim Burns III Remove "nospam" to reply
