Can you help me identify an aircraft? It is a small general aviation single-engine, two-seat, tri-gear, high-wing monoplane. The most distinguishing features are that the canopy has a moderate "bubble" shape, and the wings are swept forward about 5 or 10 degrees. The one I saw (in Fort Stockton,...

I have a 1995 Piper Archer which is starting to get loud inside as the door seal is getting all worn and cruddy. I looked on the web to buy new door seals. I did not realize there was such a plethora of products out there. I am thinking about the Avtek air-squeeze product and wonder if anyone...

Has a fixed-wing plane ever been made that could back up under its own power?

I managed to get some 1300L contact cement on the windshield of my Helio Courier while reattaching the vinyl to the glareshield. Does anyone know if I can use "adhesive remover" on an acrylic windshield without causing crazing? Any other suggestions? Thanks! Mike MU-2

Okay, so I finally figured out how to turn the XM radio off without killing all audio output from the 496. (It's not as easy as it should be...) This has enabled us to finally hear the little "Southwest Airlines" chime, followed by bitchin' Betty purring "Altitude...500 feet..." through our...

Hi All I'm in the process of purcasing my first Plane from a private owner. The current owner lives in NY state and I live in NJ. I know with cars I would pay sales tax at NJ Motor vehicles when I register and title the car but how does the process work with Planes? I was told that you just snd in...

WIth 4 hours on the fresh top overhaul I decided it was time to balance the prop as we removed the weights when sending the props out for new studs... I was delayed a bit at my monthly meeting down in Grand Blanc and got back to the airport at a quarter to one... The Kid was chomping at the bit......

I am currently taking flying lessons. I would like to own my own aircraft and have been considering various options. I am currently training in a 152 and I think a 150 or 152 would be a fun first plane to build time with. The 150/152's that appear to be in good condition seem to be in the 35k range...

Where within the FAA is the place to get the records showing STCs associated with a specific plane?

A while ago I posted about an incurable oil leak in my '79 TR-182. Turned out to be rings. Decided to get a top overhaul. Now I am breaking in the new cylinders. On one hand I've been told, in capital letters, "DO NOT BABY THE ENGINE" On the other jand I've been told to maintain CHT of 325-350,...

My autopilot has started fighting with me, and I'm afraid it's going to win. It's a 3-axis KAP140 in a Skyhawk SP. What it's doing is ... well, it just starts turning. After about an hour, it goes into a turn, unannounced. There doesn't seem to be anything instigating it. It's usually to the...

Hello, I'm on the board of our local flying club and we manage the GA ramp. I am wondering if people can share with me what their airport (or other airports they've been to) are charge for overnight fees for jets. We have a small overnight fee for planes (which i believe is waived if they fuel...
