Okay guys, I cut the cap open. See foto at http://www.fotolog.net/palmer_mp/ No foil that I can see. In fact, I'm not sure how this thing works. I thought the idea was to create maximum surface area. I probably should have buzzed the negative terminal to the can to see if

Hello Folks, I asking for responses from any who have converted from a 2-blade to 3 blade prop on their plane. I not interested in any performance claims but just specifically the issue of cockpit vibration. The prop mfg's and STC rep's are aware of this issue but express their bewilderment to me....

Feb. 24 - The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association on Tuesday provided initial support to four Massachusetts pilots - all AOPA members - facing a lawsuit filed by a few residents.

Howdy, I have an Aeromech 8140B20 encoding altimeter with a KT76 transponder. Mode C is intermittent with ATC. Is it more than likely this is an altimeter problem or transponder problem? Sometimes when it is not reporting, i cycle the transponder off then back on and it starts reporting again. That...

Over some time the bolt holes in the link between the horizontal stabilizer and the trim mechanism have been elongated. To get rid of the play, I consider installing an oversized bolt. The original bolt is an AN5-7. I am confused about the designation on oversized bolts. Can anyone help ? Thank...

Anybody know the reason for this? The needle on the pilot's side is stable, but the needle on the co-pilot side swings wildly, especially when the tank is full. A float moves the needle around the dial. Why doesn't it stay still and be good like its brother?

Anyone got one of these units? http://www.garmin.com/products/gnc250xl/ It seems to combine two very useful things (a VFR moving map GPS and a Com radio) into one compact unit. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993

I pulled my plane over to the wash stand to lose the fly squash this evening. It was a little harder than I expected, to pull the 20 yards or so. So I used a gas bottle to fill the tires, and put the bottle in the cockpit while I pulled it back to the hangar. That's when I noticed the...

Hey everyone. I had a radio guy adjust my sidetone from the radio, and he messed it up. No longer is the sidetone faint, it is now completely dead. My question to the group is, what exactly do I need to remove the radio and adjust the sidetone. I have a single hole in the lower center of the...

The glare shield in our 64 Skyhawk is original, therefore not the most pristine to look at. Is there a cover available, such as the carpet covers you see for autos/trucks, available for airplanes? Yes, I know I can get a $200+ plastic cover rom Selkirk or others that covers the entire glare...

My partners and I recently purchased a 1965 Cessna 172F. The POH has weight and balance data that you would expect, except that it focuses on moment only, gives no arm figure. Usually no big deal. BUT, we recently bought a 396 and it will do the weight and balance data for you if you enter the arm...

Hello, I'm interested in hearing from people who have 'real' first-hand knowledge of the true costs of owning an older (early 50s) V-tail Bonanza. I've heard all the horror stories about the outrageous costs; but the thing is that I heard the same stories before I bought my *last* plane (a 1963...

Hello Does anyone have any experiance with the Pann Yan 180 HP engine conversion. I have a couple of questions? 1) How many hours did it really take to install it. 2) What is an expected increase in aircraft value? 3) How do you like it? 4) Does it really go 151 MPH

Got this Email today in my mail. I found it a big troubling as I just installed the Dual pump in September last year in my B35. (Works great BTW) Does anyone else know the specifics behind the failure of the vanes, and if there is an AD pending? Important Information for Customers Customer...

I am looking for an installation manual for the Trimble TNL 1000 DC GPS receiver. I've looked through the Google archives and done a number of searches to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Brian Cox

I don't know a thing about it yet, but this whistleblower case in the FAA sure has the potential to become interesting. "I inform my then-supervisor, Anne Bechdolt, Acting Manager, Operations Law Branch, that I refuse to obey an order that would require me to violate the law..." A few things...

We just purchased a'79 M20J 4443H. I am in the middle of getting my 10 hours with a CFI for Insurance purposes and I have to tell you that this thing is a lot different to land than a Skyhawk. So far I am glad that my CFI has been with me because 75 percent of the landings have not been pretty....
