YIPPEE! I'm now a private pilot! I took and passed, the private pilot checkride on Tuesday. What a relief! It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought I'd be, and went very well. Now I need an aviation GPS and 'Guest Headset', and I'm hoping that readers of this list will have recommendations about...

This starter is for a Grumman Traveler or Cheetah with the Lycoming O-320 E2G. Electrosystems Part # MZ-6222 At 7 1/2 lbs., MagnaFlite is the lightest starter on the market. It weighs 60% less than conventional starters, and is the easiest to install with absolutely no modifications required....

Maybe another way to describe what I'm looking for, is a Consumer Report's type of grid that shows features of each of the GPS's and ranks them as "good, better, and best" Anyone know of comparative review of several GPS's in one place? Thanks for answering here.

Greeting to all; I own a 1964 Cessna 182 with a Continental O-470-R25 engine. This is equipped with an E.I. 6 pt EGT gauge. Typical cruise power setting is 20" manifold pressure 2300 RPM. I seem to have a plug fouling issue.

Tell me what you think about this issue: I flew 4443H ('79 Mooney 201) Saturday morning for a couple of hours. One time during the flight, for about 5 minutes the High / Low voltage light was flickering. It did stop flickering, the ammeter wasn't showing a discharge, and the battery voltage...

Awhile back, someone posted a link to a site where you can enter the location, time and date and get a map showing where airliners are at that time. Anyone have the address of such a website? Or just one showing the routes from city to city. (I have to take a trip and want to pick the best side...

Hello, I have a question for owners of newer aircraft (5 years or less). We have a '76 Lance that our club purchased about 9 years ago and it appears to have been somewhat of a lemon then. I don't think much thought went into the purchase but I think the price what right. Over the last several...

Anyone got one for the newer 069-01034-0102 variant? Thanks!

We had someone from Kansas City who was going to stay with us during the EAA Airventure, but changed his mind about coming. So now my wife and I are happy to offer our spare bedroom in our house in northern Appleton, Wisconsin, about 35 minutes from EAA in Oshkosh. It isn't much, just a futon...

My Cessna indicators are giving me lots of problems. Can anyone do an overhaul on them. Or are there any replacements. I have the following ADF - Cessna 300 R546A Nav/Com with Glide slope - NARCO MK 12D TSO Nav/Com with VOR - 300 COM RT-328C No one localy wants to work on them anymore. They...

The 182 (1957) and 182A (1958) were the only 182s to come out without cowl flaps. This "feature" makes the oil temps run pretty warm, especially climbing in the summer over high terrain. I've done an STC search and haven't found anybody who has done the work on what is commonly called a "summer...

Hi all, Thinking of buying a MiniDV camcorder for use in the aircraft to record instructional sessions. Does anyone (Jim Weir, perhaps?) know how I can (easily) connect headphone output audio (thus incorporating radio and intercom audio) into a camcorder microphone input? Thanks for any help,

I read a recent article suggesting that one keep track of CHT and EGT temperatures on one's airplane. So, for the last 16 flights I have dutifully recorded CHT and EGT on all 6 cylinders during straight and level flight. Now that I have the data, I have to wonder how to best mine it for useful...

Anyone worries about what the rising avgas price to the light plane ownership in the U.S? I have absolutely no doubt that the average avgas price will surpass $5/gallon in about 5 years. We'll probably see a significant drop of GA flying, along with a big drop of the value of used airplanes. ...

I don't know if any of you out there have tried Jay's "fruit for breakfast and lunch" diet but I did and have these results to post: I have been doing my own version of this for 6 weeks or so. I started out for the first week or two doing exactly what Jay did. After 2 weeks I could no longer eat...
