Hi all, Back into aircraft ownership, this time I was able to go whole four months without an airplane ! After owning couple Cessnas, I got hold of a '56 PA-23-150 project, completely stock except for newer radios, cleveland wheels, and the (Horton ?) tips. My friend and I are going through a...

Looking to buy a t-hanger or ? for a C-182. Does anyone know of any in the Idaho area or reasonably close by, something that can be dismantled and hauled to my strip? Trent 818/ 790-2403

What are some of the costs associated with owning an airplane? Particularly, I'm partial to a single engine four seater probably of the Mooney's I'm not to leary of costs such as planned/unplanned maintenance but admittedly understand nothing of the FAA regulations involved. Is there some kind of...

For you avionics guys out there...what should it cost to have an avionics shop install an audio input jack in my panel as an add-on to my panel-mounted stereo intercom? We have a Narco CP-136 audio panel, and a PS Engineering CD/Intercom. I'm assuming the input jack has to "patch in" to the...

Bought my 172N 10 years ago: had a new Gill 24V lead/acid battery in it. Three years later, cranking speed diminished slightly, so in goes a new one. Three years later, another one. Hmmmm. Batteries must last about three years. Arguing with success, I got one of them thar RG Concordes from Aircraft...

Can anyone recommend a Florida avionics shop, preferably on the S. East Coast?

MagnaFlite is the lightest starter on the market. Weighting in at 60% less than conventional starters, our Lycoming models are easiest to install with no modifications required. FAA/PMA approved unit, MagnaFlite carries same installation eligibility as Electrosystems OE Prestolite-style starters....

Unpleasant surprise on my .411 .413 check. Person doing the check would not certify the inspection. He said that the VSI is not connected to the pitot static system. I am the first to say I am clueless about "systems". He said I would have to take it to a certified repair place to get it...

Is it typical for an FBO to ask to see evidence of a/c insurance? I've been tied down at XXX for several years now; today the manager asked for a copy of my insurance (not sure if he wanted to see a cy of the policy, or simply evidence of insurance). Did your FBO ask same of you? - Mike

I've been following Mike Spera's posts about refurbishing the interior of his Cherokee and have some questions about replaceing a headliner. The headliner in our Aztec has several zippers, some of which don't work and a couple of which are ripped out causeing air leaks and cold drafts. During our...

Day 50 (Carpeting) Once the seats were done and the wall kit was due to arrive soon, I decided to go ahead with the carpeting. The Airtex guys insist the walls are shipped “long”, so I should just butt the carpeting up against the side wall aluminum. The wall kit will then fit on top of that,...

Yesterday I noticed that we had pumped more than 5000 gallons of mogas through the Mighty Grape. This represents something like 60 complete fills (our plane has four gas tanks, totaling 84 gallons), and around 350 hours of flight time over the last 2.5 years. (See:...

Hi! I had a rather embarrassing hard landing yesterday in a cross wind. Been years since that happened, most touchdowns have beed silk smooth (sort of) lately, but yesterday, I somehow managed to flare too high, resulting in a hard landing, as I also failed to apply corrective throttle to arrest...

I've been struggling trying to teach myself Access by writing a program for airframe and engine logbooks. The Access part is pretty easy, but the logbook doesn't have that "polished" look to it that I want. Sort of like your first landings. The first ones are a success if you can use the...

Here are the web sites of two guys from Northern California flying solo around the world. One, Dean Stahr flying a C-182RG Turbo, turns 80 in Nov, the youngster, Bill Randolph flying an RV-8, turns 77 this fall. My wife and I have talked to Dean on his satellite phone twice Dean's site...

Every once in awhile someone asks about our favorite aerospace vehicle cleaners and/or waxes. A few weeks ago I was in Texas at a NASCAR race. One of the trailers out in front was manned by Simple Green reps. I dragged my daughter away from the Earnhardt Jr. trailer long enough to see if they...

I've exhausted all my sources for a Cessna muffler shroud without paying through the nose to Cessna itself. Cessna 182A used a muffler 0750130-12 with a shroud 07501030-13. My shroud is pretty much toast, especially considering how it got thrashed about in our little difficulty in Wyoming last...
