Greetings A follow up question to my last post: Right now it seems gas prices are comming down, here in Tennessee, the price for auto gas is $ 2.13 a gallon. I know that as soon as The elections are over you can count on the gas to zooooooooo way up again as for what ever reason, Fellow...

Our support of that RAT HOLE Israel has BANKRUPTED this nation! The MORON in the whitehouse got us involved in Iraq, fighting JEW wars to the tune of $ 500 billion +++++ and counting! The MORON in the white house is trying to get us to fight ANOTHER JEW war with Iran! To Pay for this the...

I have a 1978 C182 Q. I recently experienced my alternator turning off and the high voltage light coming on. I cycled the switch (1/2 master) and got it to reset every time, however, the interval between episodes varied. I had the Voltage Regulator and the Alternator replaced (new) and flew a...

Hello rec.aviation.owning! My name is K C and I am in the process of buying my 1st airplane. (I take possesion next Friday) I have been searching for the "right plane" for me for the past 8 months. You don't know me...I am a "read only" participant, but I wanted to let the "regulars" know that...

A year or so ago I bought audio headphones from Sony (Fontopia) that impressed me greatly with their small size and audio quality. Furthermore, they block out most external sound. So I got to thinking about whether something like this would be a good alternative to heavy and uncomfortable headsets...

Day 5 - We woke up and had a good breakfast, then I called Jay Honeck's place. Mary answered and said come on over! Moline to Iowa City - We made the short hop to Iowa City. I talked with Jay on the phone, and we were given the keys to the Alexis Park van to drive over to the hotel! Such trust...

Well, thanks to all who posted suggestions on where to fly in the midwest. My flying partner and I just spent five days flying from Southern California to the East Coast and back .... in a Cherokee 140! (We really need to get a faster plane...). Brief story: Day 1 - Depart Camarillo, CA. IMC due...

We have a Cherokee 140 and have flown to OSH twice. So this year we decided we would try instead to fly from California to North Carolina (FFA)! But scheduling problems cut two days out of our schedule, making the east coast a bit too much of a stretch. So we're planning on leaving Friday from...

Robert, I think that is a pretty harsh assesment of the Cessna T210. My partner and I have owned ours for about 8 months now, and the requirements we had to get insurance were similar to those being quoted above. We were both +100 hr Private pilots, with all but a few hours being in 172s. We...

Hello. I thought I'd bounce these off the group and see what people think. These are the UniRegs at the University of Wyoming for flying your own or rented plane on University business. I feel, as a low-time private pilot that they are overly restrictive, but I thought I'd see what the sage...

I have a piper Arrow and out of the blue...(no pun intended)... the Autopilot banked hard left (30 deg.) for no apparent reason. It was on Hdg Mode and the bug was centered. Each time it was shut off and re-engaged it continued to bank hard left. I have a long trip to FL planned over the school...

I am considering building an RV-7A. I currently own an Arrow. I would like to have an airplane that will cruise at about 200, with a 200 Hp engine in order to keep the fuel burn numbers within reason. Is the RV the way to go or am I missing something?? Any words of wisdom would be greatly...

Would someone be kind enough to let me know the best place to buy a case of Aeroshell oil. I would like to purchase landing lights, etc., as well as other expendables. Thank you in advance.

Anyone know what it should cost to get a cs three blade prop inspected. Last overhaul in 1989, hours since 5.9 (yes 5.9). Aircraft stored majority of time in a hangar in a non-corrosive climate. No damage on props, paint still looks fresh (even on leading edge). What are the rules on prop...

Bought an old Percival Sea Prince (twin engine with approximately 2,000 pounds useful with full fuel. This might turn into an academic exercise only, but would really like to save on car rental, hotel and restaurant costs when traveling. I've already figured out the transportation portion with a...
