I was returning to my home base this morning and was cleared down to 4500' from 5500' by Tucson approach (pattern altitude is 3400'). On the handoff to the tower I called in and said I was 'through 5300'. The only words back from the Tower were 'Cherokee 54405, continue'. This was the first time...

This is a great plane and I think I can shoot anyone down with my mighty ME-262. Of course, I have added some extras to it. Any other Messerschmitt Me 262 owners out there ?

As long as Atlas is down for annual, I decided to replace all four of our old seatbelts. It's an easy, ten minute swap that I was able to do myself, with my A&P signing off on my work. I didn't replace them because they were worn out -- my A&P said he'd sign them off again -- but because the...

In the US, this is a definite for having an attourney to protect your liability and tax benefits. Unless these are non issues for UK types, then I would suggest you look into getting a professional. Mine has saved me many more thousands than I paid him. "Peter" wrote in...

I just sat through my first annual as an owner of a Bonanza and learned of the numerous recurring ADs that I will have to track. What "systems" do you use to notify you of an upcoming maintenance event, such as AD compliance or even oil changes? Is there software available for the PC or Palm...

My lower tail nav light doesn't work because the braided metal ground strap that connected the tailcone to the light housing fell off the tail cone side. I can't tell (at least from the outside) how it was originally attached to the aluminum skin. I don't see a rivet -- would it have been...
