Hello all. I've mentioned my flying club a number of times, and... A limited number of memberships are available in The Paramus Flying Club, which has been providing affordable flying in Northern NJ since 1955. Today, the club spans two airports and flies four aircraft: two 180HP Cessna 172s, a...

AeroFile now has a new website... www.aerofile.ca The Second Edition of "Military Aircraft Designations and Systems" is now available from AeroFile. This edition is completely reworked and updated over the 1995 edition, and now features designations from six countries including Canada,...

I have to vent.. Was anybody else trying to watch the coverage of the d-day ceremonies ? MSNBC is supposedly covering the d day ceremonies in France. The focus should be on the event and the men and woman who fought then not the reporters or the tv program.... The reporters will not shut up and...

I am looking for a used (can be well used) headliner for a C-175A. Needs to be in the free to cheap price range. The plan is to use it for a pattern. This way I can make a headliner in a design and texture which is not available without going to a custom shop. Since this is going to be an...

Would anyone be kind to share Bendix/King KT-76A installation manual in .pdf format? Much thanks in advance. HECTOP PP-ASEL-IA http://www.maxho.com maxho_at_maxho.com

I am looking for an installation manual for the Trimble TNL 1000 DC GPS receiver. I've looked through the Google archives and done a number of searches to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Brian Cox

Hello everyone. I'm continuing my quest to buy the best deal in America today. Another option I've looked at is purchasing a low price Cessna with an engine that's past it's recommended time between major overhaul. Some of the sellers I've spoken with are insistent that recomended times...

Does anyone know the A/D number for the vertical fin/rudder that came out last year (maybe the year before)? It involves inspecting either the vertical fin or rudder for cracks and describes repair options if they are found. Appreciate any help from those who may know this A/D number. TIA.

Hi All, I have been looking for my first aircraft, and I came across one that looked promising, except that it is registered outside the U.S. Is this something that I should completely avoid? How do you go about getting it registered in the U.S.? Are there certain countries that are better than...

I am seriously thinking about installing an Engine Analyzer in my plane and am looking at options. I think I have narrowed the choice to J.P. Instruments or Electronics International. My mechanic has more experience with JPI and feels their probes have a longer life. My research has me leaning...

From what I've read on this NG, the Lycoming engine is a better choice in terms of hours to Major Overhaul. A Continental engine with Millenium cylinders makes the engine less likely to fail. All things equal, including the price, what is considered a better buy, the 150 or 152? Presume they're one...

I am sure this has been beat to death many times but I have not seen it so here you go again. I have just agreed to buy an aircraft, pending the few details that always crop up. It happens to be a low wing plane, but all my time so far has been in a C152. The low wing appeals to me as the lack of...

I am currently interested in an older C-172 (Cont. 0-300 engine) that has an STC for auto gas. My questions a 1. Can I continue to use AVgas instead of auto fuel? 2. I often fly into/out of Big Bear City, Ca. (elev. 6500ft.) I've been able to get out lightly loaded (me and one in the right...

Anyone have any advice on purchasing a P-Nav. What sorts of things should I watch out for. Any thoughts on the gear reduction engines?

As I mentioned in a couple of other threads in RAP recently, the trim jackscrew is very worn in our '74 Archer. The wear seems to be nearly half of the thread depth. In other words, you can move the screw laterally inside the drum about half of the height of a thread. It can be rocked angularly...

As far as I can tell, the only residential airpark in NJ is Alexandria. But at Sun n' Fun in 2003, I was told that another was being developed. So far, however, I haven't been able to find anything on it. Does anyone know of other airparks in NJ?

My Hertzile (?sp?) has almost 900 since its been torn down. I've heard different things from different mechanics. I know the actual TBO on the prop is now something like 20,000 hours. However, I don't want to get stuck somewhere with a problem. How much time do most people here put on their...

I can not recomend Devine Engine and Airframe. We had problems with an overhaul of the Engine and servicing of the props on my PA23. The problems had to be corrected by our local mechanics. Bruce the owner of Devine has taken the approach of if you want resolution then call your lawyer.

I have a Narco AT50A transponder that is not working right. Since I don't fly IFR, I'm thinking I'll just get it repaired and not upgrade to an expensive unit with a more modern design (such as Garmin GTX 327). It seems that if the repair is cheaper than buying a used yellow-tagged newer model, I'm...
