During a routine inspection of my Bonanza's Garmin GNS430 back in July 2004, a reputable avionics shop informed me that the unit's localizer and glideslope reception were below Garmin's specifications. Since the unit was a few years out of warranty, the only option I had was to return the unit to...

Hey Guys, I'm looking at at 172 that has 1100 hours since overhaul, holding 73/90 ++ on all cylinders...the only thing holding me back, last overhaul was 1976... I've talked to several seasoned pilots / aircraft owners that say as long as it's holding good compressions, don't sweat it.... Any...

I saw something on the news the other day that said Ebay Motors (specifically the automobiles) gets more visitors than all the major used car sites COMBINED. I am thinking about listing my airplane, a C-172 Skyhawk, on Ebay for that reason. Do you guys think that Ebay is presently a good...

There is a 1980's C172P with 9000 hours TTSN on my local field. Most things look good on this plane, except for its high Airframe time. It is hardly a looker, but I am looking for a first-timer airplane for building time and experience. It will also be kept online with the FBO on leaseback, thus,...

I have a Helio Courier with four fuel cells holding 30 gallons each. My typical flight uses ~35 gallons so I would like to leave the outer (aux) tanks empty most of the time. I understand that leaving them empty will reduce their life expectancy. How much should I expect the life expectancy to...

Hi all. I'm about to become a 1/2 partner in a Cessna 182 and would like to purchase hard copies of manuals for the on board avionics. I've downloaded the files from Bendix/King and Garmin, but would like to purchase hard copy manuals for the Garmin MX 20, and B/K KAP 140, and KLN 94. Any...

There is a lack of Continental GO-300 gearbox bearings. I have heard of an outfit in California that can refurbish these bearings. Provided the bearings are not in too terrible of condition. Someone told me something about an International Harvester bearing which may work. The problem is it is not...

I have a Sigtronics SPA400 intercom. I would like to upgrade to a stereo system. On their web site Sigtronics states that the upgrade path to an intercom like the SCI 4S is uncomplicated in that the wiring harness from the old intercom can be reused and all that is necessary is to rewire the...

My PAI 700 has performed quite well for the past 4 years or so until now. I bought the "official" mounting bracket after seeing others that were mounted without the bracket failing badly. Lately, even after recalibration, I have noticed it seemed to be off 5 degrees or so between 350 and 10...

Wanted to ask the group for their pro's/cons between the Cessna Skyhawk and Piper Archer 180. 1) What particular year models are more desired than others 2) Which one is easier to re-sell, and which one has more profit potential? 3) Easier to maintain?

Read in one of the monthly magazine rags about getting a home equity loan or refinancing your house and getting cash out to pay for an airplane. Has anyone actually done this and if so, is this a better option than just getting a straight aircraft loan. I'm being quoted 6.75% right now for a 20...

My partners and I recently purchased a 1965 Cessna 172F. The POH has weight and balance data that you would expect, except that it focuses on moment only, gives no arm figure. Usually no big deal. BUT, we recently bought a 396 and it will do the weight and balance data for you if you enter the arm...
