I have a loose connection on my PA400 (the "record in" plug that hooks to my PDA for music). Does anyone have contact information for service on this unit?? I can't seem to find anything in Google. Thanks! -Robert

How good are YOU with a map, E6B and a stopwatch? I don't know if this is of any interest to the group, but the Hayward Air Race is going to be held on May 18-21. It is a graded, precision event much like a road rally, except we do it in airplanes. The event is run in two legs. From Hayward, CA...

Has anyone heard any more details about what Cessna is doing for their new piston single? Last I heard, they had confirmed that there is a new plane in the works, but there weren't any details on what it is. I'm guessing they will be showing something at Oshkosh this year. My speculation (which is...

I'm not sure where to ask this question. Most headsets or intercoms have a way to interface your cellular phone, via the cell phone's headset jack. However, the Motorola RAZR V3 phone doesn't have one - at least not the typical 2.5mm type. It does have a 5-pin mini-USB jack which can be used with...

I am looking for recommendations of good Cessna 421 Shops in the vicinity of Wisconsin (within a 300 nm radius od KISW would be nice). Does anyone have any positive experiences to share? By "421 shop", I mean a shop that has significant experience maintaining 421's and preferably one where someone...

A new cylinder doesn't have to be $1500. New Superiors are under $900 from factorycylinders.com. Thanks for the note. The cylinder shop gave us a quote of around $7000 for four new Superior cylinders. Granted, that does include their labor in inspecting/disassembling the existing cylinders,...

Well things are certainly changing around Michelle's household. A contract on dream property in Montana (room for my airplane too), putting my house in Virginia on the market and I have no idea where I am going to be working in a couple of months. To make this a little easier I decided it was time...

Hi, I've owned my airplane, a '69 piper Cherokee, for about 5 years now, and it's finally time that one "annual from hell" that happens to everyone at some point or another to hit. The engine is a lycoming O-360 and currently has around 850 SMOH. It's been overhauled once in it's lifetime. It...

I just saw this link on eBay... http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-14-28V-GARMIN-GNS530-GNS-530-NAV-GPS_W0QQitemZ7745050682QQcategoryZ63850QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I'm not trying to assist in advertising, but I am wondering what the catch is here. How can a new GNS530 be going for...

Well, at least that's my cost basis since I've only put on a little under 2 hours so far for the demo flight and the short hop home to RDU. I'm a long-time lurker, first time poster, and first time aircraft owner. I've learned quite a bit since finalizing the sale just this past Wednesday, but...

Can you please send me the PDF of your TRT 250 manual to ? Thanks so much.:) -- kennyt1123 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via OziPilots Online http://www.OziPilotsOnline.com.au ] - A website for Australian Pilots regardless of...

I have a maintenance question. I read somewhere that the mixture control should not bottom-out against the firewall when full rich, as the pilot would not be able to tell if the full-rich position was achieved, or if the knob just hit the firewall stop. However, I'm wondering if this is just a...

My Hershey-Bar wing Archer is in for annual. Today they found a crack in the left wing aileron bellcrank support. Sounds dangerous. It's going to need replacing. Any idea if this is as big a job as it sounds like? Will the wing skins need to come off? Anyplace I can find a drawing of...

Does anyone have a drawer with accessories for a Garmin 95? I need an antenna + interface cable and yoke mount if available. Please reply to this post, or send info to: martysummer at hotmail ...... do..t. com Thanx in advance.

I'm planning to fly for a week-end in Boston (landing at Beverley) and would want to spend a day in one of the two island (by plane of course!) Which one is the most interesting ????? Thank you Paul

Can any one post the pinout of the King KT78 transponder? Thanks Dave

I have finally got my wing tips painted and on my Seneca, they have the hid lights in them. I had the Piper wingtip recognition lights before, 35 watters, not good enough to show a light in daylight. My attention is now turning towards my actual landing lights. These are located on the nosegear...

I have a piper Arrow and out of the blue...(no pun intended)... the Autopilot banked hard left (30 deg.) for no apparent reason. It was on Hdg Mode and the bug was centered. Each time it was shut off and re-engaged it continued to bank hard left. I have a long trip to FL planned over the school...

Tried a private email and it bounced. Some day I'll drop by to see the house and in 7 - 10 years mine will be done! Margy
