Well, the trustworthy engine (TSIO-520P) in my P210 has put in its 1500 hours or so without complaint, and it is time for a new engine. The choice is a new or factory remanufactured engine. My trusted Cessna sources in Santa Maria, CA favor a new Continental engine (at about $37,000), but they are...

I did two approaches today, each in separate videos. First one is an ILS approach into HKS Jackson Hawkins airport in VMC conditions. Purpose of this approach was to "warm up" for my next approach which was a no gyro approach into KJAN Jackson MS. Both videos contain ATC communications as well...

Sorry for the delay this year, but extremely busy since returning from Oshkosh.. Pictures are at http://www.myairplane.com/oshkosh2004 This was our first time doing a booth, it was 7 days of terror and fun at the same time. Our booth had a crowd in front if it constantly from the time the doors...

Things are moving along. 1. My new tail-to-fuselage fairing has arrived, and my A&P has allowed as how we can use cherry pop rivets (rather than structural), which will save a bunch of headache. (Although Mary will still have to get back into the aft fuselage in order to vacuum up the rivets that...

Hi r.a.o guys, Thru a local ad I found a 1/6th share in a 1969 Cherokee 140 (hershey bar wing). I've done some minimal due diligance on it and it looks, well, like an old 1969 rental. The nose-wheel cowling is pretty worn (looks like it's been glued several times) and the paint is original & drab....

With the current depressed market for twins, it is interesting to compare something like an SR22 or C210 to a Cessna 310. You can afford a lot of gas, insurance, and reserve for overhauls; with a $100K+ savings on the initial purchase price. Also, I'd be surprised if there is much more depreciation...

Are there any pilots out there who fly frequently to New England from New Jersey. I am not a pilot yet, but have taken some lessons. I love general aviation and small planes. I travel often to New England from NJ (Teterboro area) and I would love to find a friend or partner who also travels to...

I'm looking for some advice on a voltmeter (preferably digital) that will plug into the "cigarette lighter" of my airplane. I found one on the J. C. Whitney site, but $50 is too much for what I want to use it for. I've got a JPI analyzer which reads voltages off the avionics bus, and also a...

I am a member of a 3-way partnership in a Cessna 206. We have just purchased a SureFire preheater. The source is available at: http://www.crystal-airways.com/surestart/surefire.asp It uses small camping style propane bottles which are readily available at Wal-mart or other retailers. They do not...

Not sure who is here anymore, but I have been a poster over the years and learned many things here and also saw some very sad personalities appear in what would have been good discussions. However, I digress. Just letting the community know that I have sold my nice IFR Skyhawk after 12 years of...

Hi All I'm in the process of purcasing my first Plane from a private owner. The current owner lives in NY state and I live in NJ. I know with cars I would pay sales tax at NJ Motor vehicles when I register and title the car but how does the process work with Planes? I was told that you just snd in...

The message below was taken from AOPA website: ---------- Protect your freedom to fly by commenting on the ADIZ today. On Wednesday one AOPA member put up this challenge to his fellow pilots: "Let's see...we've got 400,000 AOPA members, 650,000 certificated pilots...and just 5,000 responses to this...

....and don't say "a glider". :) Quiet, in terms of how loud it is inside the cockpit. 1. Is there such a thing as a quiet single engine plane? Quiet enough to not need hearing protection? More quiet than other models, relatively speaking? 2. Is there really ANY GA plane that is? 3. Are...

What do you do out there - buy or rent? I have need for 6 life vests for a flight to Cancun at the end of October. Should I rent or buy? TIA, {|;-) Victor J. (Jim) Osborne, Jr.

This spring, my club bought a 1973 200 HP Arrow with about 500 hours on the engine. Shortly after we bought it, we had to replace several cylinders and one piston (I'm not sure of the details of why they needed to be replaced). The oil pressure always indicates at the low end of the green...

I have a strange, intermittent charging problem in my Mooney and am looking for a good electrical shop. I've changed out the alternator, battery, regulator, field wire, alternator ground wire and several other items and I'm still having a charging problem. I'm looking for a shop that knows how to...

"He lives on two acres of fruit orchard in Grass Valley with his wife Gail Allinson, a Sheltie... Um Jim, you'll have to change that line if you want the women's vote. ;) Be prepared for everything to be taken out of context. Sounds like a real circus going on out there, Flint, Huffington,...

From time to time pilots have observed fuel stains on the nosewheel wheelpant of our club's 172SP. The only time I have actually seen fuel dripping from the engine was when I watched a pilot turn the auxiliary fuel pump on for what seemed to me to be an excessively long period of time. The fuel...
