I posted this as a reply to another thread but I thought it important enough to make it a new thread to increase visibility. I've added more comments and some additional details...plus some ramblings... So this is not entirely a dupe. -- Just a heads up. The 1.6 software update (5/26/06) did...

A Steep Landing with serious consequences, as seen he http://www.jumpingpixels.com/landing.html

I know about http://www.mccurtaintg.com/cessna1.htm but this doesn't seem to cover my aircraft. Neither does http://www.micro-tools.com/pdf/Cessna/, unfortunately. Cessna sells what I need, but in a large package with information on many other aircraft. It's more suitable for a mechanic than...

I have finally had enough of the bad sending unit on the right tank. Since I want the beast in and out quickly, I figured I would get an exchange unit from Airparts of Lock Haven. $500 core charge? Yikes! I guess they REALLY want that core back!!! I believe the "stock" sending units/gauges on a 74...

Could having dropped a spark-plug (REM38E in a Lyc O-360-A2D) cause static in the radio when on one mag with none on the other mag? What other consequences might there be from a dropped plug? I've been wrestling with a static-noise problem on one mag in the radio. I got some good advice here...

Ok, when I'm dreaming, I want a deHavilland Beaver on amphib floats with all the Kenmore mods. But lets be practical here, I haven't won the lottery. Is there a plane out there that: - is on floats (preferably amphibs, but I know they add a lot to the cost) - can carry two people plus camping...

Anyone who wants to chip in ahead of time so that folks like Jim B. and MontBlack can have some working capital for buying food for the party, e-mail me, Jim B. or Jay H. for Jim's Paypal info. Some people (who shall remain nameless but tend to build awesome coolers for said event) go way above...

Hey Guys, So my annual on 'Julie' (A Cherokee 140) is coming in substantially lower than expected, and it looks like I'm going to have about 4k in funds freed up that I had already budgeted to spend. Of course, the sensible side of me says I should save the money for Fuel... but what fun is...

All, We are trying to increase membership in our Phoenix-area flying club and was wondering if anyone had ideas of where we should advetise? (already tried flyers at the airport) Does anyone know where I can purchase a mailing list of all pilots with a current medical in a certain geographic...

Hello, Can anyone offer suggestions or point me to a web site where i could get one of those fold-up bicycles i can toss in the back of the plane. You know the ones you see around Osh Kosh and Sun'n'fun. Thanks, -dr

I would like to provide entertainment (portable DVD player) for my little girl on long flights. She has a set of headsets. There are plugs in the back seat to connect to the intercom. What's the best way to have DVD sound through her headsets? 1) I could plug from the DVD into the external...

I've noticed that the windscreen and canopy on my RV-6 has developed a haze on its exterior. The history of the canopy is that the canopy was manufactured about 7 years ago, with the airplane first flying about 5 years ago. The airplane has always been hangared (other than the occasional overnight...

Hi friends, I am doing research on gas sensors and I want some information from you. As gas sensors come into MEMS technology, I want to know the market share of Figaro engineering in the gas sensors market. And also I would appreciate if anybody provide me information on FIS Inc...

My 172N has suddenly developed a problem where Flap actuation switch does not work during 1st 10 degree position and requires lever to be around 12 degree before flaps work. Flap indicator will not return to zero and remains at above 10 degrees. Flaps travel to 40 degrees OK and work well as long...

Picture an airport where MX services are limited. Perhaps because there's no real shop at the airport, but maybe just a couple of independents that work out of their hanger. Or perhaps there are shops but they're "imperfect" (ie. unwilling to work on anything that's not scheduled two or more weeks...

We now have 43H based at an airport where the AWOS is broadcast over their NDB. Since 43H no longer has an ADF I'd like to see about getting a cellphone to headset adapter and see if I can dial up the AWOS instead. Does anyone have any recommenations as to whether these units function as...
