I think we could coexist with Vette on 123.3 with handhelds on the field during Oshkosh, but I just did a fairly detailed search for 123.5 and found no takers within twenty miles. THEREFORE, let's make that rah/rap on field coordination frequency 123.5 and don't give your kids the transceiver to...

I'm looking at purchasing an early (1960) Piper Aztec. I would like to know what should be checked and what the real gotchas are on this age of aircraft. Thanks, Dean

Just heard that Nuvite is giving out FREE samples.

Hi all, i may have a chance to move to Framingham MA and curious about a place to park my old Bonanza. Any good airports with hangar space available? How does Mass deal with general aviation, is it friendly? Thanks

So far it is the Allison/Weir convoy from Kallyfornya to Oshkosh via Iowa City. Anybody else thinking about it? I'm departing Grass Valley at first light on Friday the 22nd. First gas stop is Wells NV, then Rawlins WY. Depending on lumpies and bumpies, Rawlins MAY be the overnight, or I MAY...

I thought you folks might get a kick out of the reaction of the fellow who will be staying with us during EAA. Here's some of what he's written (with his permission): ************************************************************ HOLY COW!!!!!! i don't believe it. i've been dreaming about going...

I just sold my bonanza. I need to make some trips once in a while. How can I find someone to let me use their plane? There is a club nearby but they have a two hour per day minimum. Sacramento area... -K -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

I'm looking for Amphibec amphibiam AULA (Advanced Ultralight in Canada) aircraft. I cannot find any link to the builder , Amphibec MFG but their name is in Transport Canada Web site ? Anyone has any information ? Thanks. Alain

Help me understand this as it seems too good to be true. For this tax year (2005) we can choose to deduct sales tax on aircraft, if it is taxed at the same rate, from income on our federal returns. So, if I live in Texas (no state income tax) and if I buy an aircraft from a Texas dealer before...

Thankfully, no Aviat Huskies are affected. They are not the balanced crankshaft models (which end in 6). Mine is 1996 anyway. This if going to affect a lot of planes.

I just purchased a 172 and the previous owner removed a top mounted gps antenna. What is the recommended procedure for filling holes? He used silicone in the screw holes and a button type patch for the antenna hole. thanks

For all you guys and gals en route to Oshkosh, stop in Iowa City (KIOW) this Saturday for gas and a FREE pool party at our aviation theme suite hotel, the Alexis Park Inn & Suites! We are located adjacent to the Iowa City Municipal Airport, so stop by for lunch or dinner -- or stay the night! ...

Hey all, I'm getting quotes to put an autopilot in the bug smasher. Of course S-Tec is the big dog in the field. I was looking at their units that fill one of the 3" holes. My bird has a plastic panel to cover the instrument cluster. One shop recommended against 50/60 unit because they said...

I flew to a fly-in today with my two sons (aged 1 and 2) and two adult coworkers. My buddies want to pay their fair share, but as I private pilot I am obviously limited under FAR 61.118 as to what I can accept. So, what share of the direct costs should I take from each coworker? 33%? 20%? Or their...

Went to Mobile Downtown Airport this morning to fly my airplane out of harm's way, and ended up leaving it there. I saw the line guys putting the bizjets in their hangars and, with minimal begging and pleading, got them to stuff '87D in there with the Citations and Lears. The building is supposed...

I saved a life, maybe you can save mine. Hi! My name is Jason Andrew. I am a 20 year old lifeguard from Northern Michigan. I am going through some tough times in life. To be honest, I am currently going through a break up, I am unemployed, in a little debt and I need some help. I have a great idea...

I saw an Ad in TAP this week for a Comanche with a "water in fuel" detector. Anybody know anything about this - where it resides, how it works, who sells it? It seems to me it could be a valuable tool, but a lot would depend on where the sensor is located.
