My wife and I made our trip from Wisconsin to Texas on the 4th of July weekend in our Cessna 172, flying back to Wisconsin the following weekend. We tried using the Garmin Pilot MyCast application on our Alltel cellphone in-flight along the way, and while it worked well on the ground during refuel...

I was just curious about ya'lls experience with Whelen lights on your aircraft. The reason I'm asking is that I work at the USA's largest firetruck manufacturer and I deal with Whelen lights daily. My experience with Whelen lights on firetrucks is that while they tend to be technologically...

I regret to say Bobby Younkin flying his biplane Samson and Jimmy Franklin in his jet-powered WACO were killed in a mid-air at an airshow at Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Here's further...

Hey Jay! We found an Ercoupe mounted on the roof of a gas station in Wautoma, Wisconsin. I thought of you and your hotel immediately, of course. Maybe you could do something similar. I'll post photos I took of it on alt.binaries.pictures.aviation. Scott Wilson

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...

As a member of the 150-152 Club I'm going through withdrawals now that the plug has been pulled on the Yahoo forum. I may not have posted very much there but I guess I do check in to read what's new every other day or so. I sincerely hope that it's back up and running soon with no loss of data...

Hello, Has anyone ever purchased or use this tow from www.dragger.com? Spruce sells it as well. I need to push an aircraft up a small slope. I'm concerned that this product would try a pull/push UNDER the nose wheel if too much resistance is against the plane. It doesn't take too much to lift...

Does anyone know of a FAR that prohibits removing fuel, avgas in this case, and then putting it back into the same plane? The plane is flown for part 91 service only. Examples: 1.) The plane is 50 pounds overweight for conditions. 10 gallons is siphoned out into a clean, single-purpose,...

My current cover (Bruce's Custom) on the Sundowner is wearing out. I currently have the extended version that reaches all the way down to the wing root, but am considering the standard version. The standard version extends only about 1/2 way down the door. The shorter, standard version seems...

Folks, I'm starting to research my next plane. Is anyone aware of a book that lists, or better yet, groups by similarities, piston single aircraft for performance and specification research? Any suggestions are welcome. A website would be OK, too, but I'd actually prefer printed material.

I have hangar space available at the Airlake Airport at Lakeville, MN (KLVN) for a SE aircraft. The hangar has electric bifold doors on both ends, so no one gets "stuck" in the back. Rent is $200 / month. Please email me back at:

Does anyone know of a good place to overhaul electric fuel boost pumps off a an IO-360 Lycoming engine? Thanks, BJ

I just hard wired my ANR headset into my ship's power so that I no longer have to use a 9v battery as a power source. Now I am getting an intermittent squeal when I transmit. I never had this problem with the 9v power pack. My ANR is a Headsets Inc. conversion to a David Clark headset. Any ideas...

I have a 48x60' hangar that I want to insulate for the upcoming MN winter. What are my options, and what works the best? Anyone from this area have any vendors that they can recommend? I will also be adding some much needed overhead lighting. Any recommendations here? I am not a millionaire,...

I have some scratches in my Plexiglas. What is the best product to use in order to remove them? They are not very deep, but they are irritating. Thanks, BJ

I have a KX170A with a MAC1700 face plate. I was told JA or JS Avionics in Chicago area can repair this, but I am looking for a closer place (I am in Seattle Area). Local avionics shops told me that they would send it to JS Avionics too. Thanks, Baha Acuner
