Of clocks and learning curves... by
Jay Honeck
So I picked up this nifty Davtron digital electric clock/timer at Sun N Fun.
It's exactly the same model I had in my Warrior (Model 800), and I found a
good price for it. (Roughly 4 times what it's really worth -- a bargain in
aviation!) Our wind-up clock had become sporadic in cold weather, and...

Honeywell KFC-225 autopilot - what could cause this failure? by
Joerg
Hi Peter,
The mpeg didn't play for me but just a few thoughts:
Since they say they couldn't reproduce it on the ground, could this be a
noise issue? Possible sources would be the radio, a transponder
transmission, engine ignition, maybe a motor driven trim, fuel equalizer
pump if you have one....

Club rules: ownership vs. scheduling rights by
Andrew Gideon
I posted here recently that the club to which I belong in Northern NJ:
http://flyingclub.org
has some memberships available. Through an odd chain of reasoning (and
searching the 'net for comparable clubs), I came upon what I found to be an
interesting thought. But is it "good" interesting or...

Archer high oil temp by
Mike Noel
Now that summer has come to Arizona, my oil temp is running about 2/3 of the
way between 180 and red line. My mechanic checked the oil cooler bypass
valve and said it was OK, so I had decided to send in the oil cooler for
cleaning and service. Checking the engine log for the last time work...

How do I get a replacement? FAA.gov give instructions for lost

A Cheap and Dirty Transponder Tool by
John P
A friend had a problem with his transponder. It didn't seat all the way in
the rack and would not connect with the coax(AT150).
I started thinking.....(I know) Does anyone out there know of a way to make
a simple transponder field unit that will transmit
the necessary pulses( 3, I think) at...

Hartzelll 3 blade prop by
Matt Whiting
Anyone here converted an Arrow 180 to a three-blade prop? My flying
club recently converted its Arrow when the two-blade prop was found to
be shot during its overhaul. The three-blade was cheaper than a
two-blade, which seems odd to me still, so that was the choice. The
problem is that it...

Franklyn vs Continental vs Lycoming: which is better? by
Malcolm Teas
Gee, how's that for an incendiary topic? grin
In my ongoing quest for a plane, I've narrowed down the types I'm
looking at. Currently it's down to Stinson, Pacer/Tripacer, Cessna
170, 172, 177, and 180, Maule M4, Musketteer, and Bellanca Cruiseair.
Naturally I need to reduce this list a bit...

Any A&Ps on the list? Discussing Cont. A-65 by
Michael Horowitz
The following refers to an A-65 engine that had a wooden prop in
place, which survived a prop stike unbroken
Some terms were used by my mechanic and I'd like to see if my
understanding is correct:
He said he "dialed-out" the crankshaft and it was out of limits by
..004.
He explained that what he...

What do you guys use for painting interior plastic?
We will be out of annual for a couple weeks 'cause our A&P is busy, so we're

Insurance: did you know? by
Michael Horowitz
Earlier I posted about the 'incident' I had with my airplane, and we
were well within the limits of insurance until the engine's 'dial-out'
was checked and found to be outside of limits; at that point we
anticipate the ins. co. will say it's totaled.
WEll, talking to the guy that will break it...

Taylorcraft: Potential project available by
Michael Horowitz
Folks -
I had an 'incident' with my T'craft last month. We've been totaling
up the costs and up until yesterday things looked good, then we took
what the A&P called a "dial-out' reading on the engine and it is out
of limits by .004. I don't know if that was there when I bought the
a/c or was due...

Oil for a new engine? by
Bob Martin
A friend of mine just got a new Continental engine for his Cessna
(182RG I think, but don't those have struts? This one doesn't, but it
isn't a Cardinal... I don't know my Cessnas too well... anyways). He
says the factory had it sent with some expensive brand of 5W-30 (or
was 5W-15? something...

Door seal?? by
Frode Berg
Hi!
Our 68 Arrow is not what you would call airtight on the door.
Is there a part available to seal it better? Where can I find it?
It seems like air is leaking in at the lower back end of the door.
Will this also help lowerr the noise in the cabin?

Hi!
We have just got a factory overhauled engine, as well as new leather on our

What should we use to paint the plastic details inside the plane?
Anything we should not use? It's chipped a bit in places, do we need...

Exterior touch-up by
PaulH
I need to touch up the inside door frame on my Arrow, which is now
bare after removal of the door seal. Exterior paint is Imron, but
wonder what to use for primer and touch-up since Imron is rather nasty
to work with.
