Hi all, I'd like to hear from anyone who has used the EasyPulse 5 while flying, and can confirm whether it works at 12K-18K altitudes. Trying to put together a good but low-buck oxygen system. -Dan

Well, we flew 2.4 hours today, in VERY cold (19 degree) air temps. Got done, carefully inspected the prop, cowling and windshield -- no oil/grease found. What's up with THAT? How could my prop leak just "heal itself"? Not that I'm complaining, mind you -- but I get skeptical when...

Greetings A follow up question to my last post: Right now it seems gas prices are comming down, here in Tennessee, the price for auto gas is $ 2.13 a gallon. I know that as soon as The elections are over you can count on the gas to zooooooooo way up again as for what ever reason, Fellow...

pardon my ignorance... Is a rolls-royce O-200 the same as a continental O-200? I mean specifically same overhaul times, same parts, same maintence, etc? I'm interested in a homebuilt with one but don't want to get into some orphan engine. Thanks, Ryan in Madison

In the continuing saga of my altimeter woes, I've discovered that my current unit has been forced into obsolecense. It's a Macleod unit, and most overhaul places say they won't touch them. The guy who did the IFR cert says, "Buy a brand name like United or Kollsman." Any thoughts on one...

I'm looking for a source for about 50 ft of 5/8" dia. non-heat shrink Mil spec 631 or 7444 pvc electrical tubing to run a couple of wire bundles. I've found plenty of places that sell it by the roll, and aircraft spruce has small diameter, but I haven't found a source for quantities less than...

Good Afternoon, Recently came across this group and wanted to invite you to check out some display propellers I have for sale. I know Christmas is coming and wanted to share what I have created so far for products. All prices are negotiable Here are a few links: www.planepieces.com (still in...

All I can say is, "CRAP!" The altimeter didn't quite pass the IFR certification. It had some "erratic" movement, required lots of tapping, and then would bounce back and forth between the acceptable error limits for the certification. A couple altitudes were over the limit. The guy doing...

As of this morning Ron Natalie is an instrument rated pilot!! I guess all those impromptu extra vacation days due to haze are over :-). This is great! Margy

Does anybody have any recomdations good or bad about any A & P shops in the western Mass area? Thanks, greg

We were hoping that our prop would last until the city was done repaving our horrible taxiways. There was no sense in replacing it while we were literally picking up stone chips on every flight. Well, on our first flight after getting back in our own hangar, with our beautiful new taxiways (after...

Greetings!!! I hope that I am not becomming a bother to the group but I have a question: I have my own airstrip. it's a 20 foot wide 1350 foot long crusher run gravel runway. I had the runway built using Driveway fiber mat (fabric) ( cow carpet) laid down on the bare dirt, then Crusher run...

Hello I am looking at Mooney 201 airplanes, due to their performance and good fuel consumption, and had a few questions. 1) Which model year is more desirable than other years (SB's, ADs, etc reasons...) ? 2) Which year did the tan colored panel come out? Can an older 201 be retrofitted with...

Hey fello aviators/owners, does anyone out there know where I can buy a full replacement faceplate for King KMA 20 audio panel. I tried Bendix/King website but apparently because I am not a big spender corporate type they don't want to email me back. docstafford in Oklahoma

We have a 2-way partnership in 43H. We are seriously thinking about adding one last person and in talking to them they asked about what happens if their job took them out of town and they had to get out of the partnership. What is the usual procedure? Do you get an appraisal and divide it by...

Hello, anyone out there have a fairly recent Aircraft Blue Book, I would like to know the value on an aircraft. Tried looking it up on aopa's vref since I'm a member but the plane wasn't in the drop down menu. Can't call the finance company I'm using since it's Saturday. I know, patience...

OK... I've got a question. I've seen a number of aircraft around that have had little patches and repairs made on them. Sometimes on a wing or fuselage, sometimes on an elevator, sometimes on an aileron. I've heard that it is illegal to patch moveable control surfaces, but yet I've seen...

Grreetings!! I am returning to aircraft ownership after 15 years. the other day, I was looking to purchase an airplane that I saw advertised. The price and features looked real good, EVERYTHING i wanted!! except it had a run out engine. over 2100 hrs. they we're asking about $ 28,000 for the...

Hello Fellow Pilots. I recently purchased a used GPS unit and reading through the manual. Still have some basic problems how to develope a Way List and then setting up a Route from it. I tend to get lost in the flowchart. Does anyone have a simplified list of steps which may help me along?...
