Hi all, I just installed a GEM-610 in my airplane and it works great. Is there a way to download/configure the unit without the suggested HP 200LX handheld computer? I've tried a Toshiba laptop with no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks

Is anyone manufacturing new open cockpit aircraft? I'm aware of the Waco Classic Aircraft Corporation, which makes new WACOs, but that's it. Is the WACO the only new built open cockpit aircraft around? -Charles Talleyrand

Been using this stuff for a month now on the new airplane. So far, Iike it. It goes on like any liquid car wax. You let it dry for 20 minutes, then wipe it off. It wipes off a bit more easily than regular wax haze. The instructions say to apply it when temp. is below 85 F. and let it cure 12...

In my previous posts, I described what appeared to be random signal lock losses with my new 396. Changing everything did not help. I got the dealer to swap the unit with a new one and I upgraded the software to the latest level. It appeared to work well for over 2 months, however, it started...

What is a good anti-fog spray for the interior aircraft windows? Departing during Buffalo's lake effect snow last Thursday, I had my plate full as it was when about 1,500 feet above the ground the interior of my Bonanza's windows glazed over in a fog that quickly turned to ice. -- Peter

Ok, when I'm dreaming, I want a deHavilland Beaver on amphib floats with all the Kenmore mods. But lets be practical here, I haven't won the lottery. Is there a plane out there that: - is on floats (preferably amphibs, but I know they add a lot to the cost) - can carry two people plus camping...

I'm planning to fly for a week-end in Boston (landing at Beverley) and would want to spend a day in one of the two island (by plane of course!) Which one is the most interesting ????? Thank you Paul

Fellow Flying Dudes, I own a '63 Piper Cherokee with King KX 155s ... the radios both run fine .... until I fire up the engine. There is a lot of popping and static that changes a bit with adjustments in engine speed. I have turned off all other equipment to omit other causes. I have shut...

I had a strange experience with our CNX-80 earlier today. Heading back into HPN, we tried to bring up the approach frequency 126.4, and discovered it wasn't in the database. There were the normal secondary freqs (120.8 and 124.65), but no 126.4. Then I looked up DXR (Danbury, right next...

Hello everyone. I'm continuing my quest to buy the best deal in America today. Another option I've looked at is purchasing a low price Cessna with an engine that's past it's recommended time between major overhaul. Some of the sellers I've spoken with are insistent that recomended times...

I took the advice of someone on this group to have my interior refurbishing done by Airborne Upholstery at Stoudsburg/Pocono (N53). They are (BTW) excellent and do a fabubulous (and very fair-priced) job. No complaint there and I am VERY pleased. But in replacing the headliner, we decided that it...

We are based in NE Ohio and looking to overhaul another Archer's engine soon. We had a bad experience recently with core charges from Lycoming and have decided to do a field overhaul on this bird. We would like to fly the bird in so we are looking at companies within a reasonable distance of NE...

Group question RE Painting the Plane. I'm located west of Cleveland, Ohio. I've heard good things about Sky Harbour in Goderich Ontario. Any comments or suggestions for good shops closer? Thanks Chuck

Just taking a swag at what it might cost to buy and own a $40,000 plane in the Cherokee class, here is what I came up with. Feedback from those who are wiser appreciated: Assumption: $40,000 plane bought with a 15-year 7.5% loan with 20% down. Startup costs: Down payment: $8,000 Loan fees: ...

I am now able to reproduce my charging problem. Engine off, Bat and Alt on: Bus voltage: 24.8 Supply to Voltage Regulator: 22.6 Voltage Regulator Output to Alt Field: 21.6 I'm thinking maybe I should rig a jumper from Bus to the Voltage regulator to see if the problem has to do with that 2.2v...

Guess the real question is: At what altitude is a pressure suit required? Was SpaceShip One pressurized? All we saw was Melville with an O2 mask. You always see the U2 pilots with full pressure suits, but I guess that could be because of the duration at altitude? Since Melville was only...
