Winter flying ops by
Viperdoc
It is now a balmy 3 degrees here in Wisconsin, and I was thinking about
trying to find the winter fronts and putting on my Baron.
The question that comes up every year is whether to open the cowl flaps for
start, taxi, and take off, knowing the ambient temperature is so low.
It's hard enough to...

Wing-walk cleaning by
Mike Noel
My Cherokee's wing-walk has a few oil stains after coming back from an oil
pump impeller gear replacment session with my mechanic. Regular washing
doesn't touch it. I tried hitting it with Windex and that didn't lift it.
I've currently got some wheat-based kitty litter lying on it and...

Wing Stall by
PaulaJay1
I did an interesting experiment in my Archer yesterday. I've read about the
wing washout and know the soft stall of my Archer but yeaterday I saw it.
Using small pieces of duct tape, I put eight, six inch ribbons on the left wing
- four along the leading edge, back about 10 inches, and four, 10...

Wing Root Fairing by
Bob Noel
First impressions of adding Knot2U wing root fairings on my Cherokee 140:
Nothing clearly different in the handling/performance of the plane.
Of course, I hadn't flown the airplane since Nov 05 (surgery) so
insert jokes about not remembering much here..

Wing Covers Pro/Cons by
TF
Just purchased my first plane and have it tied down. It has a canopy cover
but no wing covers. Walking around the airport I only notice one other
plane with wing covers. I would have thought wing covers would be good
protection. During the wnter the rentals would have them to prevent frost...

Wing covering lifespan? by
Michael Horowitz
Over the life of a fabric a/c, it will undoubtedly go thru owners that
hanger it, others that tie it down.
For the purposes of estimating the cost of said a/c, what is a
generally accepted lifespan for a fabric coating? - Mike

windshield wipers by
tony roberts
When I was in flight school I asked why GA aircraft don't have
windshield wipers and was told that it's because the prop blows the rain
off - really - that's what they told me.
Now I fly lots in rain. This past 2 weeks I have flown in more rain than
I ever wanted to see - and the prop definitely...

Windshield sealant by
Mike Noel
I need to seal my plexiglass windshield in a few spots and happen to have
some GE Silcone II sealant on hand. It is spec'd as low odor but releases
methanol and ammonia as it cures. I have seen warnings against using
regular silicone sealant since the acetic acid it releases can corrode
aluminum,...

Windshield replacement by
Jim Burns
When we purchased our Aztec, one of the things that we promised to
update/upgrade/replace was the two piece windshield with a new 1/4" one
piece. This will raise our compass up and move our OAT gauge to the pilot's
side window.
Well, today it came and is sitting in my computer room. I've got the...

Windshield Haze by
Kyle Boatright
I've noticed that the windscreen and canopy on my RV-6 has developed a haze
on its exterior.
The history of the canopy is that the canopy was manufactured about 7 years
ago, with the airplane first flying about 5 years ago. The airplane has
always been hangared (other than the occasional overnight...

Windshield cleaning by

I don't know how many folks I have talked to, do NOT know about.
Bounty paper towels (MICROWAVE/COOKING). I have used these for 15
years and have not had to replace a windshield yet. These towels are
specifically for Microwave use and have No metal recycled crap in them.

windows by

Warrior Windows.
A few weeks ago I asked if anyone has had any experience polishing out
damage to plexiglas windows caused by a sloppy painter who got paint
stripper on the plastic. No one has so I will answer my own question.
No, the penetration is deep enough that the remedy will be...

Window trimming techniques by
Jim Burns
While our prop is out for some work, we're putting new 1/4" LP Aero side
windows in the Aztec. A couple of the windows need to be trimmed to fit
properly. What methods have proved to be the most successful? Band saw?
cut off wheel? Any others? We need to take about 1/4" to 3/8" off around
two...

Window seal by
Hankal
Just installed new window seals in my Cessna 172. My AP was also involved to
make sure they fit properly. Yesterday while at 5500 my wife (copilot)
complained about a draft on her face. We determined it came front the front of
the widow. I checked today and found a small gap which would let air...

Wind/Solar Electrics ??? by
RST Engineering
After much thought and ponderance, I've come to the conclusion that to
electrify the hangar using Pacific Gas & Electricity (PG&E -- Pigs, Goats,
and Elephants) isn't clever. By the time you get them to hang a meter
($5k), trench from the power pole to the end of the row of hangars, conduit

winch pull of plane into hanger by
[email protected]
I am back to pulling the warrior back into the hanger with a winch. I
tried modifying a small briggs and stratton powered "mule" to the
cherokee towbar attachment but could not get the control I wanted.
So now, I need the experience of anyone else who has rigged up a winch
with extended control. ...
