I am headed to APF 12/28 to 1/3. Last year, I tied down outside and survived a few thunderstorms. I am looking for hangar space this year, and am wondering if anyone has a hangar I could rent for a week for a Cherokee 180? Thanks, -Nathan

I've been off looking for a good aviation watch. I've looked at Citizen Skyhawk watches, which look cool, but they don't have a backlight, which I thought would be bad (good?) for flying at night. And I've seen some others that are all digital, but I like having the hands for a timer. And...

Hi all, Finally picked up the airplane after an extensive annual. Six weeks later and enough money to make a Baron owner choke, I'm really happy with how everything turned out. Just a short (and incomplete) list of the things we did: 1) Propeller and governor overhaul 2) Alternator overhaul

Here's a weird one I'd never heard of before but maybe one of you guys can explain. I installed a new attitude indicator last week and went out for a test flight yesterday. It's just a plain vanilla R C Allen vacuum AI. Well, it worked great on the flight - erected quickly, and nice and stable...

Is there an on-line listing of all Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Service Spares Letters for a Piper Turbo Arrow III? I went to the New Piper web site and they say that you have to purchase them from an authorized dealer. It seems to me that someone might have taken the trouble to put...

Hello. I just discovered a White Lightening, still unbuilt, about eight years old. I know nothing about this aircraft and would appreciate some help. Determining value, build time, UK certification, etc etc. Anything you can help with. It could be for sale.........to you! Nice 2+2 seater,...

As you may or may not know, Piper changed their wheel pants (at least on the Warrior) around 1978. IMHO the later model pants are quite a bit nicer/better than the old ones. Now the question is, I own a '75 Warrior. Can I legally put the later model pants on it? If so, what's required in terms...

We have a Garmin GNS430, UPSAT SL30 NAC/COM and Sandel EHSI. I'd like to add a second course deviation indicator/GS for when Murphy shows up and the Sandel quits at the worst possible time. A couple questions for the avionics gurus on r.a.o: - How much is this going to cost? There's the cost of...

I'm looking for some advice on a voltmeter (preferably digital) that will plug into the "cigarette lighter" of my airplane. I found one on the J. C. Whitney site, but $50 is too much for what I want to use it for. I've got a JPI analyzer which reads voltages off the avionics bus, and also a...

A friend of mine inherited a Terra TX 760D in the Citabria he recently bought. The radio is now giving him trouble. While Terra is out of business, Star Avionics in CHA works on these and can get parts. He wants to know if anyone has any experience with these radios, and if so, are they worth...

test, please -ignore Nothing to see here folks, move along....

Honest to gosh. I want to buy a TRT250 (the pushbutton transponder). Working condition not important. Reason - I want a second so that I can use them as a matched pair of wheel chocks - really. Dennis Brown change the letter o to zero in the email address

No more side-scrolling, I hope! I think I've got the page formatted so that it "scales" to different screen resolutions without requiring side-scrolling to see everything. Fixing it involved converting everything from plain text to "tables" that can be set to a percentage of size -- thanks to...

Last Wednesday I found myself unable to push my plane back into the hangar without help. It was wet, limiting my shoe traction, and I had been unable to successfully get back on the concrete pad after cutting the corner through the squishy grass, forcing me to take a more straight-in (and more...

Go to http://www.alexisparkinn.com/aviation_videos.htm for some cool new aviation videos! Just finished revamping the page to run the videos better. While I was at it, I added a couple of new ones -- including the infamous "Rolling the Boeing 707 Prototype" video, which has a rarely seen...

I am new to this newsgroup, and kind of new to flying. (Took lessons exactly 30 years ago = 53 hours). I am on my second lesson. Question. Trying to figure the cost of airplane ownership. Is insurance mandatory (Oregon resident) or is it strictly to insure MY airplane, if I wish. If mandatory...
