I'm working with a friend on his RV-10 project. I was looking over the engine parts prior to assembly and I noticed something on the left mag that I wasn't familiar with. On the side of the LH mag, there's a small stud with a couple of nuts and washers on it. The label reads : Retard. 13-15...

Anyone here have or use the new Apollo CNX80 ? I am getting the list together for my avionics upgrade and an swaying between the garmin 430, CNX80 or a smaller IFR certified GPS/com and MX20. I would really like the MX20 but wouldnt be able to get it if I got the 430 or CNX-80 but I want a GPS...

Is anyone who uses Google to post here having problems? Many threads I select come up emty with the message "unable to locate thread". Has been happening alot the last several days. It is happening on several computers I have tried both at home and at work and at friends.

I don't know all the details and what I know is second hand, but it appears a prospective buyer of a Navion lost control of the plane on the ramp and caused some serious damage. This happened mid week at Avion Jet Center, Sanford Airport (SFB), just north of Orlando, FL. Allegedly, the...

The upcoming OMF-4 looks like a lot of plane at a whole lot less than a 182. Anyone have thoughts on how they like their current OMF planes? Thanks, Ross Rehfeld

Is polishing your prop legal? Now that we've got ours almost done, of course one of our airport wags mentioned that it might not be acceptable -- despite the fact that every 10th plane you see has one. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com

Gang: One of the wingtip strobes on our 1982 Warrior II looks like it is going bad. Half of it looks black and it only gives one blink per second while the other wing gives two blinks per second. I was perusing the Whelen catalog, and our strobe lamp assembly appears to have a pigtail terminating...

First off, this isn't a post to argue the merits of one-door vs. two-doors, so if you want to do that, start your own thread... :) Why does Piper put the door of the plane on the passenger side? I cannot think of one good reason. Would like to hear the group's opinions. OTOH, I can think of...

What's the difference between these aircraft? Is one simply a continuation of the other?

I've been flying Boeings for the past 35 years and been "out of the market". What are CFI's/CFII's getting these days?

Hi, All; Seriously considering first purchase of an aircraft. In no rush. I'm curious, though.... If you're in the plane-buying mood, when do you get the hangar/t-hangar/tie-down? Before you sign or as a condition of sale? Do most folks selling aircraft agree to wait until you can line up a...

First, I normally reside in rec.av.mil. Hopefully I'm not violating the group charter by asking my question here. Several months ago someone offered an F/A-18 fuselage for sale on Ebay. If I recall correctly it was in Olathe KS. A hard drive crash lost the seller's name from my bookmarks. Does...

I have been learning to fly and hanging out at KLNS (Lancaster PA) for years, and it has been a privatized airport tower ever since i've known about it. Nicest controllers, safe airport and friendly skies. They're not any more incompetant than a "guvenment" controller and most certainly they...

Has anyone had trouble with getting the results back reliably from oil analysis samples they have been sending in to AOA? I do analysis every time I change my oil but my sample has just been "lost" for the 3rd time in 4 years (lost twice in the last 2 years). At about a 70% success rate...
