Wheel Pants Weight by
Patrick
I was wondering how much weight taking off the wheel pants would gain
me for cargo? I have a 1979 C152 with wheel pants and need to be able
to carry a little more weight. I've heard around 18 pounds, but does
anyone know for sure?

Whats the deal with counter-rotating props? by
Dico
Hello,
We're looking into a twin and the Twin Comanche is on our list. I know
that the later models have the counter rotating props -- although i
don't know too much about what this means, other than its "better".
We fly a mooney now and thus I don't worry about the prop -- as long as
it keeps...

Whatdayathink.. by
Tom S.
A few months I ran my idea of acquiring a Commander 114/115.
As was pointed out to me, the numbers historically sold and the companies
current financial plight makes future parts availability questionable.
After some digging and evaluation, I am now considering bypassing my 2nd
choice as well,...

What's the scoop on Headsets Inc? by
Jim Carter[_1_]
I have a nice set of DC 10-13-S that I'd like to convert to ANR. Headsets Inc advertises in AOPA Pilot magazine and has a reasonable web site for products and services. They also have some customer testimonials of varying degrees of flattery on their site.
I'd sure be interested in hearing other...

What's on YOUR Christmas list? by
Jay Honeck
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...

What's high TT for a Lyc 235? by
Paul Folbrecht
My engine has 1200 SMOA and 4500 TT. I can find very little regarding
the relevance of total time. Maybe it's close to irrelevant since a MO
touches everything anyway. Lyc even zero-times their remans, of course,
even they are obviously not truly 0 TT. Just curious about the subject
of engine...

What's Going on Here? by
Jay Honeck
In 2004 we experienced our #2 cylinder dropping off-line on take-off
from Titusville, FL, resulting in a quick return for landing. No
amount of high RPM leaning would clear it, so we de-cowled the engine,
took all 12 spark plugs out, cleaned them, put them back in, and all
was well.
Conditions...

What's going on here? by
Jay Honeck
Our JPI EDM-700 engine analyzer may have paid for itself today.
Here's the scenario:
Mary is PIC. During her run-up, the left mag dropped a bit more than the
right. She leaned it back (the usual fouled-plug procedure) and it smoothed
out to within specs. Still not as smooth at the right, but...

What's an old Cessna 300 NAV/COM worth? by
Radu Tenenbaum
We recently replaced one of our Cessna 300 radios (it was still
working) with a TKM MX-300. Someone at our aiport is interested in
buying the old radio and I'm wondering what a fair price would be.
Thanks,
Radu

What's a radio stack really cost? by
Jim Carter
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...

What would you pay? by
Kobra
Hangar tenents,
Hypothetical situation: You're in a hangar. There are no more hangars for
100 miles. There is a waiting list for a hangar just as long. There are
plenty of tie-downs for a poultry 70.00 per month. Just out of curiosity
.... what would be the magic price of hangar rent that...

What would you buy with a 50k budget? by
Kirk Ellis[_2_]
A fellow pilot/friend and I have been knocking around the idea of
doing a 2-way partnership on an aircraft next summer. I have had my
ticket since 1998 although I have only 150 some odd hours total. My
friend has about half that. Relatively speaking we still consider
ourselves newbie "students" but...

What was it? by
Jim Burns
Last week I walked up to a couple pilots discussing an airplane that was
sitting on the ramp at STE. They noted that it did not have a data tag on
it so they really weren't sure what it was.
What it looked like was an early straight leg 172 fastback, but it had a
swept tail, not a straight tail. ...

What was he/she doing? No radio, by
NW_PILOT
Went out to the airport this morning about 1:00 am to top off my tanks,
there was an aircraft on the runway it looked like super cub or something
with big tires practicing either high-speed taxiing on the runway or
simulated engine outs and bouncing? I turned on my scanner to find out what
he was...

What type of connector do Northstar M1 M3 use? by
[email protected]
I want to build a cable to run my M1 & M3 at home in demo mode. Both
navigators use the same connector & pinout for their power (connector
P15 on M3, not sure about M1). The connector looks like a Centronics
24-pin, but the edges are more rounded. I showed my local electronic
store my M3 but...

What to look for - bringing an aircraft back to life by
Louis L. Perley III
I seek the collective wisdom of the group. As I have mentioned previously, I
was the co-owner of a 1965 Piper Aztec, due to various conflicts in the
partnership, the plane has not flown in two and a half years (approx.) most
of this time it has been in a heated hangar, but has been out in the...

What to buy...what to buy? by
Carl J. Hixon
Okay, I always love reading everyone's thoughts on these types of questions
so I'll post one for myself. Well, my wife finally gave me thumbs up to buy
a plane after taking a 6-year break from flying. Well, I'm pretty conservative and worry about losing my job, etc.
But darn it, it is about...

What to buy at OSH this year? by

With OSH 2005 fast approaching, the blood is quickening, and there's a new
spring in my step. The Big One is almost here!
However, as we do every year, we're starting to look at Atlas -- our 1974
Pathfinder -- with a jaundiced eye, looking for deficiencies that need
filling, either in his...
