Who pays redux by
Viperdoc[_4_]
After a few weeks, I called my mechanic, since I had not received a bill.
(See previous threads for background):
Immediately after the last annual, the plane threw an alternator belt. We
went through three belts, and the last one has been in for six hours and
worked fine. During this time we...

Paint shops in Atlanta area ? by
Mike
Due to some peeling clear coar, slightly thinning base coat in a couple
of places, and some recent minor hail damage (with payment from
insurance) it looks like we're due for a paint job on our Archer.
Can anyone suggest any good shops (or ones to stay away from) in the
Atlanta area? All...

Lowrance 2000C ??? by
Tri-Pacer
I just looked at one of these jewels yesterday and I am impressed. Is anyone
using one? How do you like it. I'd really like to hear pro's and cons. I'm
presently using a King Skymap IIIC and could probably sell if for what a
Lowrance 2000C would cost.
Thanks

Mooney M20C Questions by
Greg Esres[_2_]
On the hydraulic flaps, does the position of the silver pump handle
have any bearing on whether or not the hydraulic pressure leaks out of
the flap, once they are extended? (The POH doesn't say that it does.)
There is some mechanism underneath the instrument panel that has some
adjustment for the...

My Plane made Airworthy .... $38.00 by
Charles Talleyrand
My Cessna 150's front nose strut released all it's fluid. The plane
was grounded. The mechanic took it from the hanger, replaced the seal
and fluid, and put it back in the hanger. Total cost .. $38.00.
I'm happy with my mechanic.

Matt
Hello everyone.
I was looking under the cowling of the 152 the other day, and I noticed that
the ground wire from the left magneto was broken. The end of it looked like
it was frayed and burned. However, when I did a mag check I got the normal
RPM drop on each magneto. I also was able to...

Options After Items Flagged as Unairworthy (was TBO and Airworthiness) by
JB
(I decided to move this to a separate thread since its a bigger issue
than engine TBO.)
Matt...I read the Avweb article. The author correctly notes that
whether its a car or plane, you should always insist on seeing or
discussing the problems with the mechanic so there are no surprises
later....

Does an engine past TBO make an aircraft

What's the scoop on Headsets Inc? by
Jim Carter[_1_]
I have a nice set of DC 10-13-S that I'd like to convert to ANR. Headsets Inc advertises in AOPA Pilot magazine and has a reasonable web site for products and services. They also have some customer testimonials of varying degrees of flattery on their site.
I'd sure be interested in hearing other...

Dan[_1_]
All,
Our club is in the final stages of purchasing a 1998 Cessna 182S.
Much to my dismay, I noticed the lack of a 12-volt cigarette lighter
(or it's 24-volt equivalent) anywhere to be found. (am I just not
looking in the right place?)
What are the options here? How difficult and/or expensive...

Group:
I'm in the market for an older Cessna 182.
Preferably with low or mid-time engine and prop, STOL, Clevelands, one-
piece windshield, decent radios and encoding transponder.
Paint and interior not that important.
Anyone out there looking to sell, or know of one?
