My Aztec's first Annual by
Louis L. Perley III
Well, I met with the mechanics yesterday and we went through the
complete squawk sheet. I've been dropping by almost everyday just to get
updates and looks at things while it's all opened up, so there weren't any
last-minute surprises. One of the primary things to get through were the
logs, which...

Need advice on handling airplane damage by
GE
Being new to airplane ownership, I would appreciate some advice from the
more seasoned guys out there. This weekend, my partner wrecked our plane.
He's okay, which is certainly the most important thing. I'm still not
certain of the details, but it sounds pretty bad. Of course I'll be calling

Winter is comming to Ohio ( thou the 60 deg day today disagrees) and the
subject of engine preheat arrises. I have a Tannis for the cylinders and a pad
to heat the oil. I can call the FBO and have them plug it in an hour before I
arrive and the engine is, at least, not cold to the touch. Still...

SkyTec Starter sticking? by
[email protected]
Hey all. I put a lightweight SkyTec starter on my Cherokee 180 a bit over a
year ago. Recently, I've begun to notice that it's sticking in the ring gear on the
engine for a second or two after startup. I thought it would be like a stock starter
and require some silicone spray, but on a whim I...

Painting the inside of my cowl by
iflyatiger
I would like to paint the inside of the cowling of my 1991 American General
Tiger. The AG and the new tigers have a carbon fiber cowl and mine is
painted with a white textured paint. The paint that is there now is still
adhering to the surface so I would like to paint over it.

dirty bird by
The Weiss Family
A question for those of you who tie down:
I flew just a couple days ago, then went out to the airport today. I was
APALLED at how dirty my plane got!
We had a little rain, and there's been frost in the morning, but I still
couldn't believe how dirty she was.
Does anyone have a good method for...

C-182 Seats by
R.T.
Good day all,
I have a 67 C-182. Since I purchased the plane this summer the pilots seat
seemed to recline to far back. After some investigation it appeared as
though someone had replaced the Pawls that lock the seat in position with
the incorrect ones. The ones installed were from a 172 so I...

Metal fatigue in Lycoming engines limiting its TBO? by

Is anyone aware of statistical or other data that would indicate what
percentage of engines make it well beyond the factory specified TBO,
and how much longer they can be flown safely? I worry about sudden
engine failure due to metal fatigue.
Many of the small Lyc. engines have a TBO of around...

Garmin 430 Reception by

Our "new" '79 M20J came with a 2 year old Garmin 430 GPS and Garmin 340
audio panel. The backup radio is an ancient King 170B. I must say that
the reception on the Garmin sucks compared to the 170B. Am I doing
something wrong or is this just something I have to live with? To me for

Pocket PC GPS software. by

Hello all. Just wondering if anyone is using a Pocket PC with GPS and what
software they are using. I already have a Garmin 196 but I also have a
