BTW, due to cross firing of the prefrontal lobes I kept calling the Unison LASAR ignition system the SlickStart... Slick Start is their solid state 'shower of sparks' box that can be added to most any magneto system for improved starting... About $300.. I have flown a plane with one and it worked...

Anyone have these? I am looking at the Mountain Bike version. I don't care much for the components (since I typically "roll my own"), but Montague refuses to answer my emails about just buying the frames so I can build a decent bike around it... SOOO, I am just interested in anyone's personal...

I was always surprised at how feeble and (seemingly) easy-to-break-in light aircraft appear to be... And yet, aircraft theft seems to be a (fortunately) rare occurrence (as far as I know.) I would guess this is due to the relative ease by which aircraft can be tracked down (ATC, etc.) Also, the...

Hey all. I posted a week or so ago about an AI that had gone TU. I'm figuring to do a complete vacuum system overhaul on my Cherokee and was looking for suggestions on places to have gyros redone. I've talked with Kelly instruments, and they seem to be relatively inexpensive and have high...

Well, decided to make that move. I managed to get 2040 hours out of my engine in my Sundowner, and now have another cylinder acting up (both plugs getting "wet") at slow idle. I just had a cylinder put in (ate an exhaust valve) last month, so instead of nickle and diming my expenses away in this...

Well, for the cost of an hour or so and a $10 capacitor, our avionics guy once more resurrected our KI 201C So, we don't need to run out and buy a replacement. I'm happy, I think? I mean, it's nice to spend $100 instead of $1000. OTOH, I suppose I was getting a bit psyched at the notion of...

Well, sent my info to the insurance, they got back to me, through one of the other partners, and said they needed more information. They wanted to know how many hours I had in a 175B, I said I had none, but shouldn't the 172 count? It's the same except for the CS prop. So I gave them what...

The other day I when I was handed off to a center frequency I got a continuous "rx", like a stuck mic, on my Garmin 430. I asked about changing freq, he said he did not have another available. I explained the stuck mic, and he queried other pilots on the freq, who all reported 5x5. I...

Of course everyone thinks their plane is wonderful, but every plane has at least one annoying 'feature'. I don't want to hear about cabin width or cruise speed, but that minor gremlin you would fix if money was free and time replaceable. In my plane, the overflow vent vents too much and full...

I found a listing of the 19,23,24 at www.esscoaircraft.com/noname30.html and that address will bring up the order page at a cost of $35. I've dealt with them over the years and have been able to trade manuals for manuals in some cases. The do a fairly good job. Hope this helps. Robert...

Our Hartzell prop governor on an IO-360 Lyc has developed a nasty little oil leak around the control shaft. The company in Wichita that successfully repaired it many years ago is no longer performing this type of work. Currently we are considering sending it directly to Hartzell, but if...

Hi Sydney, I've got Lightspeeds and although the noise was never a problem, the way they press the bows of the foggles into my brain starts to bother me after awhile. I've often thought about buying a cheap pair of wire frame sunglasses and cutting the bows off them, then also cutting most of the...

I'm trying to decide what is a fair price for this aircraft. I looked at the asking price of 74 Archers in Trade-a-Plane and saw prices ranging from the high 40's to the high 50's. I used the TAP estimator and came up with about 52K. This plane is in good condition in and out, has older...

I buy crush gaskets in copper and aluminum from he http://www.marylandmetrics.com/ but as you might suspect from the name, they are metric. They have a very wide range of sizes so you may find a close cross. Steve .. | |I'm looking for a source for copper "crush" gaskets

Did you notice the blurb in AOPA EPILOT that Exxon has, and has been having, deposits of grey crud in their bottles of oil, but they say it is just fine and there is no need for them to replace it, or to pay to tear your engines down... Besides, there is a lot less of the crud in this months...

I need a new encoder. I currently have a Trans-Cal D120-P2-T. I can get an overhauled exchange for $230. Should I do that or just replace it with a new ACK A-30 or Ameri-King AK-350? The Ameri-King is the cheapest at $150. I believe both the ACK and Ameri-King use an oven to compensate...
