Anyone know if I can get a database update for a Foster500 Loran, and if so where from and how much it costs? I wouldn't bother except my autopilot is connected to it, and the existing database is old enough that some of the airport ID's have changed for ICAO, and one or two VORs have...

Flyers, If anyone is looking for a nice David Clark aviation headset I have one for sale on ebay: http://tinyurl.com/q9n2p I just upgraded to the Bose Aviation X, but it still breaks my heart to sell these. They are just as comfortable as the Bose, they provide great noise attenuation and...

We have this intercom unit in our 210 and it has worked fine in the four years we have owned the plane. http://www.davidclark.com/IntercomSys/isocom.htm However, there is the toggle switch on the unit labeled "Isocom". We have always left this switch in the "Off" position, because if we...

Anyone try these at OSH? How to they compare to the Bose? I may be in the market for a headset... I wish the Bose had music input though! --Dan

Working on a 172 with an ISOCOM panel mount intercom. There are no jacks on the rear seats. Anyone have the pinouts for the unit? I've never got to see the instructions for an intercom and wondered how they are wired so the PTT only works for the guy that pushes the button. I assume that the...

We were grounded last week, after discovering a cracked exhaust pipe and rotted muffler baffles during routine maintenance. Amazingly, we discovered that Dawley Aviation (*the* exhaust repair station in the Midwest, and the place my A&P recommended) is located in Burlington, WI -- literally on the...

Hello all, Is there such a thing as a "day of purchase" contract? We've done a title/lien search and all, but it'll be a couple weeks til the sale actually happens. In that time a purchaser could put a new lien on the plane. What do you do to protect yourself against this? Is there some sort...

I think I've logged about four days of hanger rat duty over the past two weeks. Still have a long way to go in terms of accommodations (chairs, table, shelves, etc...but having your own hanger sure makes it more fun (and, IMHO, justifiable) to hang around the airport. Yesterday's mission: bug...

For anyone who might be in the DC area on April 28th this should be a good evening! Margy (yes, I work at Air and Space so this is a shameful plug, but the event is FREE). This is the Air and Space Museum at Dulles Airport. The National Air and Space Society will be holding a special event on...

Looks like its time to repair the boots ... I have contacted a company called Boots Edge Repair Corp out of Bethany, OK. Does anyone have any experience with this company and their repair process... good or bad. Please let me know what you know. Thanks Greg

Flyers, I went to fly on Thursday and low and behold my baby was covered with a half inch of snow and ice. I could brush off the top 1/4 inch of snow, but the bottom 1/4 inch was ice that was welded to the airframe. I remembered that an instructor told me back in my primary training, that you...

Well, it looks like my directional gyro just went belly up. When I went for a ride today, the setting knob was very sticky, and then suddenly not sticky at all as it now rotates freely and doesn't feel like it is engaging anything. The gyro card does not rotate with the knob. I have a Cherokee...

We've got a dead glideslope needle on our #1 indicator. (KI-209 driven by a KX155 12v) GS flag works, needle stays centered. I dug through our log books and noticed that this also happened in 2002 and was repaired by "repair to aircraft wiring". I contacted the avionics shop that did the work...

Hi all. I'm still searching for some headset parts, preferably David-Clark. Any set with a cell phone input adapter would be great. Broken or working, I'll pay by credit card or Paypal. Please call me at 561.478.1098 or send an email to marty@ xxxx worth.net xxx kill the x's to get the correct...

I've been out looking at the early Debonairs with the IO-470-J or -K in them. The books I've looked at and the info in TAP say they cruise at 148 knots (I'm assuming at 75% power), and I was wondering if there was anyone out there who had any "real" numbers on cruise speeds. Thanks! Chris
