The GOP's energy bill will require ethenol in gasoline, apparently even in areas that do not have smog issues. Is this the end of autogas? -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close.........(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that...

I'm fantasy shopping for my new warbird or historic aircraft. My requirements are ... - Historic value (rare and interesting aircraft) - Reasonably easy to fly - No turbines and under 12,500 lbs (no type rating needed) - Seats two - Aerobatic - Easy on the eyes

Hello airbus a320 on reverse http://www.airliners.net/open.file/461365/M/ Franck

Hi all; I'm wondering if anybody here has any experience with "Aircraft Paint & Prep Booth" at the Corona airport in Southern California. How was their work? Did it hold up over time? Also, someone has told me there's a good paint shop at the Sebring, FL airport, but couldn't remember its name. ...

Hi all, Did 165 hours this year (actually over 10 months) in the 172 and brought it into annual a couple weeks ago. Decided to overhaul the prop, governor, alternator and rework a ton of stuff. Wound up going with Sensenich Propeller Service in Lancaster, PA and am glad I did. The prop came in...

Griffin GA. Today a Beechcraft Baron crashed into a building shortly after takeoff killing the pilot. Sounds like he might have lost a fan on takeoff.

19 new aircraft types added to www.ukskies.co.uk over the last fortnight, 8 more yesterday! Includes many rare visitors plus historic aircraft & unusual rotorcraft.

In researching after-market instrument lights (see: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=3572149.7laLzgI6iM%40no.to.be.used.news.int.tagonline.com&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D3572149.7laLzgI6iM%2540no.to.be.used.news.int.tagonline.com ), I've...

I've searched through the archives, and there is a lot of useful information there concerning buying and affording an airplane. My question, specifically, is this: If I bought a 1977-ish Cessna 172 that is IFR equipped with a low time engine for, say, around $45,000, can I beat the rental cost...

I spent $40 on my plane yesterday. That topped off the tanks and put a quart of oil in the engine. With this I was able to fly from home to Houghton, and back, which is about 150 miles round trip. I haven't spent $40 on plane all in the same day since the last annual. My plane is eating me out...

Looking at something like a 182, What does it cost to have the A+P Remove and replace the engine/prop? It's easy to find overhaul costs in Trade a plane etc...., but how much more does the shop labor add? (Assuming that not much else is wrong with the aircraft?) Paul

Why is the market for late model V35B's and F33A's so flat. The economic climate (real and perceived) and 90's run-up have a lot to do with it, I'll acknowledge that. But there seems to be something else at work in this market. Are the Lancair Columbia and Cirrus SR22 substitute products for...

Hello. I'd like to get a better understanding of the true costs of various light twins from people who have direct experience with them. I've seen a bunch of opinions about how expensive twins are on here from many different people ranging from 'not much more than comparable single' to 'more costly...

I will be flying to the Los Angeles area next week to visit my son who lives in Redondo Beach, which is in the southwest part of the city. Most convenient airports appear to be TOA (Torrance) and HHR (Hawthorne). I would appreciate recommendations between the two, and for specific...

Does anyone know of a manufacturer of heated venturi (or has one they are willing to sell?)? I know there was a system called the Auto-Vac-4 primary vacuum system which was stc'd for the early Bo's, and I contacted the widow of Raymond Ives 31 Charlotte Street RFD #1, Box 141A Pomfret Center ...

I am considering purchasing a 1/3rd share of an LLC which owns a Cessna 206. The LLC is owned by three partners each with an equal share. The only other asset of the LLC is a bank account with maintenance reserve funds. My question is this... How does one go about purchasing a 1/3rd share of an...

I have a C-150 and a Garmin GPS Pilot III. Right now it's mounted on above the interment panel near (but not too close) to the compass. I would like to mount it on the yoke. Does anyone have any experience with yoke mounts on a 1966 Cessna 150? Will normal yoke mounts work well? Must I really...

Because a topic like this never gets too old ;) 1979 172 with original Cessna (RT-385 IIRC?) radios, the NAV frq display on the #1 box failed and the partners now finally agree it's not worth repairing. I'm contemplating two options: 1. Replace with a slide-in replacement like the TKM series,...

Hello, I want to purchase a used Cessna 206 Floatplane version. Is it possible to use the Plane as 6 seater? Have anybody information about the operating costs? Thank your for any idea. Sebastian

I am looking to get a MP1000-II. My PM 1000 is showing its age. Any help for a supplier on the net is appreciated. Hank N1441P
