Looking for a shop to replace headliner, carpet, other interior work in NY/NJ area. Any recommendations? Thanks. www.Rosspilot.com

The thread on how often your plane gets washed got me thinking, what brand of wax does everyone use?

Well, I finally was able to go up and pick up N46000 from Akron today (I was on a cruise last week even though it's been declared "done" for two weeks or so, this was the first day I could get away) Some minor things were found after driving up there to fly it back (people who'd offered me ride...

Last time I was looking at airplanes for purchase, I thought I found a website that you could punch in the year, make, and model of an aircraft and some of its key features and it would spit out an approximate value. I thought I got to it from the AOPA website...but now I can not find it. I thought...

Does anybody have a digital photo in fairly high res of an old Narco Superhomer that they would be willing to copy to me for an article I'm doing for both Oshkosh forum and a Kitplanes column? A VC-27Z would do just as well. If you've got a good photo and can upload it to your web page...

Hi All! OK... Piper Warrior...PA28-151 Considering purchase... It's is a 1976 Model.. Specs, (published) say stall, dirty ( Full Flaps ) for a 1976 built is 58 knts.

Amomg other planes, I've been considering the classic Aeronca 15AC Sedan, and was wondering what to look for or to avoid when doing a pre-buy. Also, general comments good and bad about the plane? There aren't many for sale to use as reference, I know NAAA and Vref list them in the mid to upper...

In CNX80 User Newsletter number 1 at http://www.garmin.com/manuals/GNS480_GNS480_CNX80_Newsletter_1st_Edition.pdf on page 5, the author refers to "... a 'happy-box' that accepts the roll steering output commands from the CNX80 and turns them into voltage outputs that mimic the inputs from the...

Another post has raised my curiosity about the availabity of GPSS converters to provide pseudo roll steering inputs to our S-Tec 60-2 autopilot via our KLN 94 GPS and a converter. Long story short, at this time we're out of luck. The KLN 94 GPS outputs a RS232 signal that isn't tagged correctly...

Spring is almost here (ok, I probably just jinxed it) and we're wanting to really clean up the Aztec before applying a good base coat of wax for the summer. We've got a little oxidation and some fuel streaking, but mostly just hanger dust, belly oil, runway grime, tire, brake, and exhaust dust to...

Anybody know of a source for printing bank checks with my own plane on it?

A couple days ago I went out to the airport, wrapped up the front end of the Deb with a two layer blanket, fired up the Tannins Heater and figured I'd change the oil the next day. Welll... as things go, that was the day it snowed, and snowed, and snowed. Fortunately the heavy stuff went South of...

Got a call from the mechanic "fuel cap gaskets are worn, need replacement" me: fine, replace gaskets Another call from mech "uhh, no part number on the fuel caps, not normal piper part, therefore no approved gasket can be found, have to replace caps AND gaskets" me: OK, I guess no...

I just had the O-235-L2C in my Tomahawk overhauled, and the 125 HP mod performed at the same time. Now it is getting 2700 RPM at just under 400 degrees CHT, during break in, and cruising between 100-105 knots. Before the rebuild, cruise was about 2400 RPM and about 90 knots. I'm very happy with...

I've been tasked by my flying club http://flyingclub.org/ with a job I've been trying to do informally anyway: design our "panel of the future", and draw up a plan for getting from our current state to there. The mandate is pretty wide, though I get the feeling that an electric AI is more likely...

I'm starting a club and soon our members will meet to discuss our top 10 planes. 1 of the planes being considered has been in an accident where the bird flipped over (C172). The repairs were preformed as needed and the plane has been flying for many years. Should a club consider this plane (even...

As some of you know, I'm plane sitting for a friend. It is a 1983 172RG. Over the past couple of weeks, it seems to have picked up an electrical issue. Occasionally, the "low voltage" light will flicker. So far, I've seen this happen 3 times in about 5 weeks. Once, I happened to be looking at...

Hello everyone.. I've posted this question in a few different NG's and forums, so appologies in advance for anyone reading it again. Anyow.. I have a Sony Clie TJ25 Palm-OS PDA that I recently purchased an i.trek mouse GPS receiver for from Semsons & Co. in the USA. I'm located in Canada,...

Hey everyone. I have a C152 with good vaccuum, but the Directional Gyro precesses at an abnormally high rate. What's the prognosis? Can it be fixed, or just replaced? What can I expect to pay for a new DG? Thanks, Marty

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...
