Observations about oil leaks by
Ben Jackson
I bought a PA-24-260 with a verrry slow leak from the prop governor.
This has taught me some things about oil leaks.
1) Oil does not go in the obvious direction. Even after you take
into account the general airflow around the engine compartment and

KX 170B Replacement by
Jay Somerset
My two KX 170B NavComs are getting a bit tired. The tuning gears have been
replaced, and after several years are now getting really stiff and hard to
turn again. Apart from the mechanical parts, the radios both work just
fine.
I am looking at three alternatives; having them repaired again,...

Power port in panel? by
Jay Honeck
Is it legal to have your A&P install a "power port" (NOT a cigarette lighter
outlet) in your panel? Does it require a field approval?
I want something on the pilot's side that is more robust than a cigarette
lighter, to power our yoke-mounted GPS.

Bubble windows? by
jim rosinski
All side and rear windows in my 172 need replacement. I'm thinking of
installing bubble windows on the right front and left front for better
visibility. Anyone know about cost premium or speed penalty of these
over flat windows? If the penalty is no more than a few knots it's
probably worth it,...

Rigging a Cherokee 6-300 by
Dave
My maintenance shop rigged my control surfaces, at my request. The
plane 'seemed' to have been flying in a bank, despite having the AI
centered and DG on the same track.
They found that the flaps were the biggest culprits and adjusted them
accordingly.
When I flew it and took it up to cruise,...

Power port by
Javier Henderson
Would anyone know (and care to tell me) where to find the power ports
found these days on airliners? I'd like to replace the cigarette

Thanks.
