Is there a site for showing realtime and forcast graphical aviation conditions around the country? Thanks Dave

I'm looking at a Skymaster that is mechanically in very good shape, but is absolutely (just barely) VFR. It has more boat anchors in it than Tracker Boats sells in a month. So..if a mid-time multi-rated, instrument pilot was going to spend money on a new radio stack, how much would he or she have...

I have a set of original factory tail fittings for a Lake aircraft for sale. I bought these last fall, they have all the original paperwork. I changed my mind and went with the STC for steel fittings. If anyone is interested, they can have them for $500usd. Please drop me...

I received some marketing brouchures from one of the best selling "composite plane" on the market, with an invitation to take a ride. Well, I was tempted until I found out how high the Vso is. The plane goes in on final at 80 kts. Which means, 80 kias is the speed you use for...

The EAA Rocky Mountain Regional Fly-In is this coming weekend. It's being held at Front Range Airport (FTG) just south of Denver International Airport. This show has grown every year. When I went last year, I had a great time. If you're in the area, on the ground or in the air, stop on by! You...

Well, thanks to all who posted suggestions on where to fly in the midwest. My flying partner and I just spent five days flying from Southern California to the East Coast and back .... in a Cherokee 140! (We really need to get a faster plane...). Brief story: Day 1 - Depart Camarillo, CA. IMC due...

Well... it is stripped, sanded, polished.. Now, how do we keep it that way? What do you guys use? How often? Dave

Day 5 - We woke up and had a good breakfast, then I called Jay Honeck's place. Mary answered and said come on over! Moline to Iowa City - We made the short hop to Iowa City. I talked with Jay on the phone, and we were given the keys to the Alexis Park van to drive over to the hotel! Such trust...

Flyer, Ok...you all got me. I've been reading several posts and a very frequent acronym is being toss about quite liberally that I have never heard before. It is "AMU" and "AMU's". It is usually used when speaking about money in some way. What the heck is this? Atomic Mass Unit, American...

Our 1979 Arrow IV is in the shop for its annual inspection. As usual, the inspection itself went smoothly, but it uncovered some maintenance items that will run into several AMUs. Here are the top three uglies: 1) The inspection part of Piper Service Bulletin 1161 resulted in identification of...

I've got an oil leak on our Aztec left engine, IO540 C4B5. The hydraulic pump on the left engine has a drain/vent hose that is leaking engine oil. It is definitely not hyd oil. I had a new garlock oil seal pressed into the accessory drive adapter housing thinking that this was how the oil...

Back in April there was a thread in rec.aviation.ifr from a Garmin GMA340 audio panel owner who was questioning why the audio level of a plugged in device was so low: http://tinyurl.com/lvaap Tom Borchert replied with a post that explained about the impedance- mismatch and included instructions...

For anyone interested I am selling a DVD from FlightDeck on flying the Boeing 737-300 for 10.00. http://tinyurl.com/eg9rv Kobra

Has anyone replaced their Delco Remy voltage regulator (the old mechanical type for a 50 amp generator) with a new solid state type by Zeftronics? CHief aircraft sells them, just wondering what anyone's experience was. Mine is old, acting up and charging too high. In the old days I guess you could...

Thielert has announced a diesel engine in the 230-HP-range, covering the gap between the existing 135- and 350-HP models. Great news, IMHO, since this is the kind of power many of the planes we fly need. First target for certification seems to be the 182. Time frame is 2007. Nice! -- Thomas...

We have a Cherokee 140 and have flown to OSH twice. So this year we decided we would try instead to fly from California to North Carolina (FFA)! But scheduling problems cut two days out of our schedule, making the east coast a bit too much of a stretch. So we're planning on leaving Friday from...

The wife and I just back from our Oregon vacation that you helped us plan. You guys did a wonderful job. Day 1: Left OKC on a Canadair regional jet to Phoenix. Boarded a 737 whose APU wouldn't start. 107 degrees on the tarmac and no AC. And we left our Cherokee at home why? Oh well. Landed...

Hi, My airplane has a Gill G-35 battery in it. The battery is less than 3 years old. We did a 10-minute run up about 2 weeks ago. The plane has been sitting in it's hanger for the last 2 weeks. The master switch was OFF and the battery was NOT on a charger. Today I went to use it, and found a...
