How are those that are using AirGuide Publications FlightGuide finding the timeliness of their bi-annual updates? It seems to me that they are running quite a but behind as of late with the updates - but not on their billing for the next year. For those that have been using them for some time,...

Like new. Reverse polarity protection. Heavy gauge. Best offer.

While I was down because of surgery I had the mechanic put in nulites on the six-pack, the clock, and the suction gauge (the turn coordinator was already lit). Tonight was the first night I got to fly at night and these nulites beat the red overhead light every which way. way cool Highly...

Does anyone know what the current commission rates are for leaseback. The rates the flight school's take off the top.

Yesterday we planned on a proposed flight 50 miles away for dinner with a light GA airplane newbie on board . The radar at home showed a very narrow band of showers to the Northwest on a SW - NE line marching SE towards us. The rain was limited to the lightest 2 green shades with an occasional...

I just upgraded the radio stack from the Cessna radios and audio panel to a Garmin package (audio panel, 430 and transponder). I noticed that the instrument panel light (red overhead) is now on what appears to be near full intensity when in the off position. When I rotate the control to highest...

If you up there in the Cockpit, look out of the window and see an Lawnmower, don't be alerted, you are not crazy. They now have flying Lawnmowers. The same group of Hobby-ingenieurs also developed a flying doghouse and working on a flying Washmachine and a flying...

On the Garmin site, it looks like the "City Select" CD set has been replaced by the "City Navigator" CD set. There is no price listed for City Select, but there are prices for City Navigator. Are they different products or is this a replacement? Some avionics shops are selling kits with the...

The interior is finished. The work was done at Southern Avionics' new shop at Mobile Downtown Airport. http://tinyurl.com/gj5kt It took 3-1/2 weeks and, according to their manager, went 90% over their labor estimate. He is somewhat in shock about how long it took--it was their first small...

Somebody got away with one of my Piper service manuals, probably by accident, but gone nonetheless. Seems somebody on this ng was telling about a new service that has them reprinted on CDROM. Can anybody point me to this source? Jim

From my buddies at the airport to this newsgroup, there is a lot of interest in the Garming 396. No doubt it is a fine system with great features. Why don't I hear anyone talking about the AnywhereMap WX, which seems to have a roughly equivalent feature set for $800-$1,000 less up front...

I just pulled up the cloud tops charts and see one labeled FL720 over SE Nebraska/NE Oklahoma/SW Missouri. Is this for real?

Last Saturday my brother/co-owner and I had planned on taking our fresh-out-of-annual 172 up for a good workout at our home base in Lincoln, IL (Logan County - KAAA). I'm a 14 hour student pilot on hiatus. I got sick of paying to fly in other people's airplanes. My brother, Brad, got his ticket in...

Hey folks, I'm trying to decide which is preferable, a relatively low time plane with missing logs or a higher time of the same model with all logs. The first is a 65-year old plane with 1800 ttaf and 346 tsmoh. It's missing the airframe logs from 1986 and older. The other has about 3000 ttaf...

I have an IO-360-A3B6 900 SFNEW in '97. I used to be able to keep about 7 quarts in it without it blowing out. Now it seems to be blowing oil down to about 5.5 quarts. Since I live in the 100F OATs part of the country, the extra oil really helps cooling. Should I worry about what is causing the...

Which of these stories got the most airtime? http://www.wral.com/video/9515951/detail.html And then later ... http://www.nbc17.com/news/9518344/detail.html

Anyone in the Raleigh-Durha, area know of hangars available for rent? I'm also looking for avionics installers that are cheaper than $65/hr. Thanks for any help. Patrick N7416X

I am in need of a spring P8770 part of the mixture control for a Stromberg Carb. Can anyone give me a lead? My best bet was El Reno but they say it's made of unobtainium. Thanks Paul Anton N1431A

I have an unbroken string of dated Oshkosh coffee cups (mugs) going back to 1974. I would be very happy to send somebody Paypal money to pick up and send me one from this year's show. I believe that the EAA Warehouse store will pack for shipment and there is a post office on the field if that...

Okay, so I found a shop that will install everything for real cheap. Anyone ever installed a new panel, avionics stack, or redone their panel? Should be fun to see what comes out of this, since right now I've got issues here and there. Still looking for a hangar though.... Patrick
