Good Used 4 Seaters by Curt Fennell
Hi, Folks... I've been recently researching aircraft that I might want to purchase on a limited budget and I was wondering what the general consensus is on inexpensive 4-seaters to own. It seems to me that 4-seaters available in my price range are all pretty old - Pacers, older 172s and Stinson...

Why is LOP (lean of peak) controversial? by Andrew Gideon
I'm not asking about LOP itself, but why it's so "hot" snicker a topic. It would seem to be a simple thing to me: the cylinders run at decent temperatures LOP or they do not. What else is there? I know at least one person in person, and others from their postings, that are getting success...

Overly restrictive business flying requirements. by Wily Wapiti

New (old) bird by Steven Barnes

Hull/Liability Insurance Recommendations by Jim Weir
The BlueOnBlue 182 is coming up for insurance (hull & liability) renewal in about fifteen days. I'm very careful to get competitive quotes using the same coverage. So far it is: Phoenix $805 AIG $920 Global $939 (current carrier with no renewal discount) Any suggestions on another quote that...

Fuel Drip Containment by Jim Weir
Snarly Charlie, the 182, has the classic "Cessna drip" from the fuel vent when the tanks are filled and the hangar gets warm. I've tried everything I know to stop it, but all I can do with all the mechanical fixes is slow it down. I'm getting ready to patch the asphalt under the drip and paint...

Engine Dependability by O. Sami Saydjari
I talked to TCM today to register that I am the new owner of one of their engines. Just in passing, I mentioned that their engine failed recently within a few hundred hours after major overhaul. They seemed completely uninterested in knowing this fact. I asked if they kept actual statistics on...
