Do any of you have experience repairing a slight, but annoying, leak in a wet wing tank? Mine's on a 1980 182Q.

My Century I has gone bad. I need to send in the Turn Coordinator part of the system in for rebuild. Anyone tell me who is best? Quickest? Most economical? ETC? Doug

Anyone know of, or have experience with, renting a plane and instructor from any of the northwest islands in the Bahamas? I'm planning on being there in July and would like to do some sightseeing & flying (I'm PPL/IA). Would rather do typical "FBO-style" instruction/checkout, but if there are...

Hi all, I've been pretty happy renting a 172 from a local flight school in Minden, NV (MEV). However, as you've may have noticed from my previous posts, I have three small children. I now have a need get my wife and all my kids in a plane for a trip. Is there anyone in the area who has a 5 or 6...

Since this is an aircraft owners newsgroup, that means it's the perfect place to ask about the costs associated with owning an airplane vs. renting. Since I haven't started my private pilot lessons, I'm not familiar with all of the expenses associated with owning an aircraft. I have listed below...

I am interested in getting a checkout in a Cessna 180 or 185. It does not have to be solo, with an instructor is fine. If anyone knows of one, the closer to Colorado the better please email me at Thank you

Hello - Our Symtec pan heater has bit the big one, and we need a replacement. Unfortunately, the model we have is prior to them implementing the feature where you can detach a replaceable element from the mounting plate. And the mounting plate is secured to the block with some thermally...

so - the continuing saga - after my glareshield fell off on takeoff (see earlier post) a friend repaired it and remounted it. Then he noticed that he had "missed" a few spots so he brought the aerosol of black paint into the cockpit . . . well, you can guess the rest. Does anyone know how to remove...

Is there any reason I can't remove my factory OAT and throw it out? I have a mechanical OAT gauge but would rather just use my EDM OAT gauge. The JPI says their gauge is only certified as "supplemental" but does the FAA even care if I have an OAT at all? I've been replacing the original OAT gauge...

Is it worth the bother? We're coming up on our annual inspection in May, and there are at least four antennas on our bird that do nothing. I'll bet there's a few feet of cable going to each one, too. Does removing an antenna net you any extra speed, or is it mainly a weight reduction...

For those who have installed oil temp probes in the forward oil galley of their Lycoming engines, how did you or your A&P remove the 1/8" NTP plug? I've got one that is stuck tight and I don't want to booger anything up trying to get it out. I've heard horror stories of people having to drill them...

I know to remove a Narco radio (Com 810) there is a hole and you insert a key... kind of like opening a CD-ROM tray with it powered off. So, my question is, if I don't have this key, what makes a good substitute? I tried using a 2" jewelers phillips screwdriver but it apparently wasn't long enough....

Our club just received our newest 172. The previous owner put a decal on the door advertising his company and we would like to remove it without harming the paint. Any suggestions?

I have a Piper Archer III and want to change the battery. The ELT is an Artex 110-4. I can open the panel and found two thumbscrews which only remove the cap of the ELT, I can also remove the BNC and Molex connector. There are four screws on top, however these serve only to open the ELT,...

Just returned from the annual Inspection Authorization renewal meeting. Not too boring and some good information and good food. The one thing that got the most attention was the assertion by one of the FAA inspectors that when you remove any equipment installed with a Form 337 as a major...

In looking at the rear seats in my Archer, it looks like they are probably designed for easy removal. The two posts at the front of the seat appear to be in slots that allow the bottom of the posts to slide aft and then lift up and out, but how do you release the rear posts? TIATIA (Thanks In...

I want to remove the KMA20, Dual HX170B's and KT76 from their trays so that I can easily clean up all the knobs faceplates etc. What special tools do I need to remove them ? And ... Where can I purchase ? Thanks in advance for the good response I know I will get. Roy Page 28291 Misty Morning Lane

Hi! I have a 68' Arrow, and wonder if I can remove the back seat to allow some bulky transportation. Or is this seat some sort of stiffening of the airframe? If I can, can I remove only the seatback? If so, how do I do this? Any mod to make it easy to fold down and back up again with no tools?...
