Does anybody have a digital photo in fairly high res of an old Narco Superhomer that they would be willing to copy to me for an article I'm doing for both Oshkosh forum and a Kitplanes column? A VC-27Z would do just as well. If you've got a good photo and can upload it to your web page...

Hi - Very rarely, one of the 6-cylinder Lycoming IO-540's in my Aztec acts up after startup. There is a fair amount of vibration, and a high MP (20") for the resting 1000rpm, and if the engine monitor is turned on, it shows three of the six cylinder (1, 3, 6) not making any heat. Turning on the...

Do you own or are you planning to buy or build an aircraft that fits into the Light Sport Aircraft rules? The airplane can be an older "factory" certified airplane such as the Cub or Ercoupe, a new "factory" S-LSA or an experimental that does or will comply with the LSA...

I recently tried to touch up the paint on my Maule. The paint went on fine and seemed ok. I flew yesterday in IMC and rain. Most of the touch up eroded away in under four hours of flying. The factory paint is ok. I thinned the paint 50/50 with VM/Naptha. It flowed and stuck ok. Any suggestions on...

Last time I was looking at airplanes for purchase, I thought I found a website that you could punch in the year, make, and model of an aircraft and some of its key features and it would spit out an approximate value. I thought I got to it from the AOPA website...but now I can not find it. I thought...

I'm trying to understand how capable the new breed of integrated avionics suites are (Aviyne Eclipse, Garmin G1000), and read somewhere that although these systems are very capable, they don't have the "mission capabilities" of a Proline 21. I.e., the Eclipse and Garmin systems are ok for...

Hey all... I've got a KLX-135 GPS/COM that recently developed an identity crisis. Apparently there's an internal lithium battery that dies after 3-5 years and causes it to forget all of its waypoints and internal GPS almanac. Anyone ever replaced or had one replaced? Also, I just recently became...

Just thought I'd put out a little FYI for everyone in the NG's about the Aviation Expo coming to my home airport in June. http://www.canadianaviationexpo.com/ I'm in no way associated with the expo, and have nothing to gain by posting it here, except perhaps the opportunity to meet a few...

I've got a problem with my Prestolite starter which I was hoping someone here might be able to help me out with. The pinion gear that engages the starter ring gets stuck in the retracted position and won't come forward when I engage the ignition key. It just whirs in place inside the casing. I...

Jay -- Some time ago there was a thread in this ng about what sort of light aircraft on a pole ("pig on a stick") would be appropriate for your establishment. That thread sort of bogged down... Just for grins, go to http://www.rst-engr.com/weathervane/ and think about making a 4x or 8x model of...

I just noticed an area of exposed aluminum on my wing root, about the size of a quarter. I am not sure how and when it got there. Exposed aluminum seems like an inherently bad thing. Is there some good way to do a do-it-yourself job of touching this up that is both effective at protecting the...

Trade-a-plane.com has some nice summary performance specifications on a large variety of aircraft, but I am looking for the performance specs of a Cessna Turbo 310 R with a Ram Series I (300HP) and a Ram Series IV (350HP) conversion on them. In particular, I would like to know what their...

Rats. I just called LEI Extras to buy a database update for our Lowrance Airmap 100. They said they no longer offer GPS updates for that unit. Database has gotten too big. They offer a rebate on newer units if you turn your old one in - $100 off the Airmap 500 $175 off the Airmap 1000 $225 off...
