Hi All, I had a small engine fire yesterday. Nothing really serious, just primed too much and whoomp. Damage, 1 hose costing 22,50 euro, 1 empty extinguisher and a dented ego. Now i have the problem about replacing the extinguisher. The old one contained Halon, but this stuff is prohibited in...

I was watching Discovery Wings when I saw a spot about the CAP celebrating it's anniversary and I saw a scene with an Airvan in CAP colors (lots of bright red and blue). I have seen nothing in the aviation publications about this aircraft. Does anyone here know anything about it beyond what is on...

Hello I'm trying to find out if the Audio Pannel in our Clubs 81 C172 should have back lighting or not. I dont know who makes it since there is no name on the audio panel. But it uses a row of up and down toggle switches to flip between functions and it has the marker beacon light built in. Every...

Often when browsing catalogs I've seen wire adapters that allow a music source (CD/MP3 player) to be plugged into your headset. I'm not talking about electronic devices such as PS Engineering's "The Muse", but just the basic physical wire harness. Does anyone know if these are simply an audio jack...

Does anyone have plans or know where to obtain plans for a Cessna wing jig? How much is an old jig worth (factory or fabricated)?

Just installed new window seals in my Cessna 172. My AP was also involved to make sure they fit properly. Yesterday while at 5500 my wife (copilot) complained about a draft on her face. We determined it came front the front of the widow. I checked today and found a small gap which would let air...

I am looking for parts manuals or any manual pretaining to this aircraft. I purchased a 11A that the gear spread-eagled on landing rollout. I am in need of all fuselage fittings, gears, oleos, springs, pivot fittings, everything. I realize parts are hard to come by and will possibly have to make a...

Ho, ho, ho....! Me, I'm asking Santa for a new, solid-state transponder -- which is about as dull as socks & underwear, but the third digit on mine keeps going wacky once in while. I *hate* it when ATC thinks I've set my squawk code wrong... What are you hoping to find in YOUR stocking on...

I just purchased a Garmin GTX-327 off of Ebay (installed for one day, before the owner decided he REALLY wanted the Mode S GTX-330!), and am lining up installation. I was surprised to hear that a 337 form had to be filed for this installation. It's not a big deal for the avionics shop to do, but...

Hi There, We own a 1966 m20e and we're getting a new attitude indicator and the avionics shop doesn't know what the incline value is of the panel. He thought it might have been 7 degrees or so... just wondering if anyone knows the proper value or where I might be able to find it. We've called...

I would love to hear from anyone involved with one of the fractional ownership programs for the Cirrus 22. I'm interested in access on the weekdays with 8 owners scheduling simultaneously. Or for that matter thoughts on how well this concept works. Rich Raine http://www.eraine.com

Anyone had experiences good or bad with TEK Aircraft Services in Rio Grande, NJ? I'm thinking of taking my plane down there for some work and an annual. They seem to be nice people. George Patterson Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is "Hummmmm... That's...
