Hi, I will be flying out of JFK on 18 April at 400P and returning to JFK on 30 April at 725P. I'm thinking of flying my Archer from Cleveland to somewhere in the area (no, I don't want to go into JFK, ha ha) and leaving her there for the couple of weeks. Any suggestions will be appriciated. I...

My aircraft compass, Airpath glare-shield mounted, has recently sprung a leak, and nearly all the fluid has disappeared over the past 4-6 weeks. My mechanic says the diaphram has probably broken, and can be easily replaced. But I'm thinking this could be an opportunity to replace it with a SIRS...

Yesterday, I attended a FAA safety seminar where the topic was maintenance issues. I walked away with a few surprising nuggets of information. These issues have been discussed here in the past and some of the information posited here disagreed with what the FAA said. So, I thought it would be...

Recently a few of the regulars on this forum have for various reasons sold their planes. Well, it looks like I'm about to join them. I've been offered a job in Maui, and am likely to accept. I took a few extra days off during the interview trip and talked with folks at Maui Aviators, who rent...

HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars...

Anyone installed Avion yokes on their bird? I seem to remember reading some horror story about how someone went down this path, and then couldn't get the field approval from the FSDO.......

I have been trying to figure out a cheaper alternative to having to pay $369 to purchase a Beeper Box to turn the engine heater on in my hanger from a remote location an hour or two before I fly. Before I try and re-invent the wheel, does anyone know of a product on the market that could do the...

Hi, I'm a recent gradute of an A&P school, looking for a career in aircraft. I'm not into GA but, willing to if something is in the S.E. area of the U.S. Prefer commercial or military manufacturing.

With an 85-lb jet engine, I should be able to come up with a two-seater, single engine glider that would be much more affordable and efficient than the eclipse jet. This plane would be ideal for pilot/owners who want to fly cross-country in their own jet. Forget 3.6 million, or 850000 dollar price...

not a dramatic story, but one worth telling... I was flying my bird over to another airport for the annual. Was planning on replacing the right fuel cell so at the end of the previous flight I topped off the left side only (figured I'd burn off the rest on the way over there). Lo and behold I...

Anyone have one available that they'd like to share?

Does anyone have access to "King 525A HSI - Maintenance & Overhaul manual" ? There's something I need from there. Our HSI's glideslope is faulty; it idicates we're too low and has inconsistent behaviour in general. After two test ILS approaches we found it was with the avionics (not the ground...

Posted this link in a different thread. Then I started looking through the books... (Volume 9) The Great Airport Mystery (Volume 37) The Ghost at Skeleton Rock http://hardyboys.bobfinnan.com/hbart.htm (Hardy Boys book covers) Anyone have one of these on their aviation bookshelf?

Stan, I saw a posting from you from last year when you were talking about putting XM bluetooth weather in your Saratoga, with the XM box in the forward bagage compartment. Did you go ahead with this idea? Did you have any issues with the range of the bluetooth? I'm thinking of a similar thing in...

I am planning to put some avionics in a C182 I bought (Garmin GNS430, GMA340, 106A etc.). Someone made a remark that if I go to Oshkosh this year, I could probably get it done quite inexpensively while I am there. Please let me know if anyone has had any good/bad experience with this...

My partners and I have a verbal offer on a '70 Arrow. We're working on getting it down in writing but, so far, things look pretty good. Biggest issue right now is getting the pre-buy scheduled and having SB 1006, the wing spar corrosion service bulletin, performed. I'm planning to fly back to...
