I've Googled for this and poked around other places, but there doesn't seem to be much comparison data on these two products. I've always used Champion plugs (massive electrode), but now that my plugs are fairly worn and I'm in the market again, I'm curious about opinions on the Unison Autolite...

I have a prop, no idea for what type it's for. It's in excellent condition. Does anyone know what it's for? Here is the info stampoed on the hub. Prop is 74 3/4" long. Eight bolts. On the prop, following info: McCauley KlipTip Met-L-Prop SN# 6834

I'm wondering if anyone here has seen anything similar to this or might have some ideas on where to look: A buddy of mine has a new noise problem with the radios in his Arrow, but it is a little different than the run of the mill noise problem because it is only in the comm radios (you only...

Its bbbbaaaaaaacccccckkkkkkk. I thought we had the 396 reception problems solved with the unit swap and upgraded firmware. On climb out the thing lost its lock again and continued to do so until I changed course. That ain't gonna be an option on a plan in IMC (uh, center, I need to change...

Anyone know what the cost per hour is for a Chieftain?

Aircraft Spruce has a product listing for the Approach Sport Hub Avionics Wiring Systems http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/approach1.php The Pro Hub for IFR is $600 and the cables aren't cheap, but it seems like once this is installed, avionics additions/upgrades could be done fairly...

I ran across this interesting web site about an alternative way to fly. Looks like fun. Ronnie http://www.clusterballoon.org/

Some of you may remember my first airplane, N9636B. It was a 172RG and I had many hours in it. I frequently talked here about my experiences with it. I was curious as to what it was doing now and did a search on the plane. To my shock, I learned that it crashed near Catalina Island on September 5,...

What are some of the best flight planning software available? I've never used any but perhaps I should after briefly reading here what they can all do for you! -dr Wendy wrote: Most of the flight planning software that I have used only offers two

Our normally-aspirated Arrow IV is currently in the shop getting a Lycoming factory rebuilt ("zero time") IO-360-C1C6 installed. This is the first time in my 2000 hr. flying career that I have ever had to deal with an engine break-in, so I would welcome advice from the group. Lycoming apparently...

Hi everyone, I've noticed there are some very knowledgable people on this list. Maybe you can confirm / dispute some information. A close friend is leasing his plane to a local school. The school has had some maintenance documentation issues in the past. A local FSDO inspector has been a real...

Hi! I have a SL30 and a GNS 430 in my plane. They use the same antenna via a splitter. When I dial in the same VOR in both units the SL30 catches up the radials always between 20 and 50 nautical miles earlier than the GNS 430! (Altitude about 3000 ft, flat area) Is this normal? What is your...

I'm looking at two older Cessna 182's. Both are the same year, both have roughly the same radios, both are in roughly the same condition, both are asking about the same price, except for the following: 1) Plane A has a newly overhauled engine, some hail damage, and newer gyros 2) Plane B has...

Laurent, I'm based at Wings, LOM, just outside Philly. I waited almost a year to get a hanger. It's not much of a hanger. Just a long building with no doors and no walls between aircraft. I don't have to move any planes to get my plane out and it keeps the sun and the rain off. For me,...

Hey all... finally got around to taking a trip in my plane this weekend (busy with school stuff). The transponder appears to be weak and the controllers were none-too-pleased without seeing a squawk, IFR, running next to a TFR... :) They had a tough time receiving my squawk, especially when far...

Hi there, Googling past threads yielded nothing definitive so here goes: On runup today, noted the following: 1. RPM to 1700, switched to right mag, dropped ~150 rpm 2. Increased RPM to 2000, leaned back until I got a 100rpm drop and held for one minute to clear it. We've had to do this pretty...

With the demise of 80/87 avgas, I bought a gallon of TCP and will start adding that to the 100LL that I must now buy. However, scouting around the internet I found something that claims to be similar in function but safer: decalin. Here's a blurb from Aircraft Spruce. My questions are, has...

At least a dozen aircraft from Florida were parked on the north ramp at BFM this afternoon. I didn't meet any of the pilots, so I couldn't ask why they would flee a hurricane yet park at a coastal airport on the edge of the projected path of the storm. I realize that the storm probably will be...

Our annual Fly-In breakfast is THIS Sunday, 8/29, from 7 AM till at least 1 PM (Sometimes longer, depending on demand), here in Iowa City. (KIOW -- See airport info at: www.airnav.com/cgi-bin/airport-get?s=IOW ) This is one of the biggest fly-in breakfasts in the Midwest. The FAA usually sets...
