In my previous posts, I described what appeared to be random signal lock losses with my new 396. Changing everything did not help. I got the dealer to swap the unit with a new one and I upgraded the software to the latest level. It appeared to work well for over 2 months, however, it started...

I'm looking at an airplane, Beech M35, that has a 480 already installed. I downloaded the manual and the simulator. The simulator crashes. I also noticed that it pushes my CPU up to 100% usage. My computer is a newer 1.8GHz with more than 2G of ram. I can't find any instructions on the...

I tried on rec.av.IFR and got no response, so I thought I'd try here. Anybody know what it takes to adjust the alert volume on the King KAS 297B unit? The volume is killing my ears. TIA, - Don Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you are a thousand miles from the corn...

Here in Vancouver BC, Nav Canada is proposing some airspace changes. Among other things they are pushing "voluntary CAS (collision avoidance system)" on the grounds that they believe it is affordable now. Is it really? Anybody have this? A cryptic PP presentation of the proposed changes is...

How are your engine monitor probe leads and wiring harnesses secured? Adel clamps on the rocker box covers? Tie wrapped to your ignition leads? Tie wrapped to the intake tubes? Adel clamps to the lower case/sump bolts? I'm interested to hear about your installations. What you like and...

It's been a solid week, and I am still not flying in my Sundowner..... Problems encountered. Oil analysis came back with high count of copper #3 cylinder low on compressions Corrosion on a side panel of the fuselage Small pipe (Exhaust outake?) had small crack in it Air in the brake lines (took...

Well, we just broke the first power cable for the beast. I had read that others were having problems with plug failures so I bought a spare a while back. The plastic part that is physically plugged into the unit separates from the back part of the connector molded to the cable. Total operations...

Hi, Dreaming about owning a acft. Looking at 70s something Warrior II with 3 to 4 others. I've had a quick look on the web, but couldn't find anything that suits. Does anyone have a comprehensive spreadsheet for calculating ownership costs, you know where you put in fuel, hangarage, engine...

As some of you know, our hangar building was rammed by a semi-truck this past August, during the repaving of our taxiway. Fairly extensive damage was done to one corner of the building, but we were able to keep the plane inside, thanks to the guy only hitting our "kitchen" area. (No beer was...

At my home airport, we have a new airport manager who seems to be on a mission to eradicate anything but aircraft from leasehold hangars. He claims to have discovered FAA support for this position during his "on the job" training -- he is not a pilot, and has no prior aviation experience -- but he...

UPDATED VERSION. Even if you read this before, you should read it again since I UPDATED it with more EXPLOSIVE DETAILS about these UNDERCOVER FBI and NSA PSYCHOPATHS. FBI PUSSIES went and INTERROGATED a 14 yr old WHITE girl pulling her from her classroom in california for posting a picture with...

Hi, We just had our annual done on our 172E, and there were cracks found in the forward horizontal stabilizer spar. The remedy is to apply Cessna Service Bulletin SEB94-8. Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of this bulletin online? I'm trying to get an idea of the cost of this...

Well, the old (very old!) Narco VOR head died. Actually, I noticed it was dead over a year ago, but it was on the 2nd nav/com so I really didn't care. But I'm thinking of starting IFR training (again, for the 3rd time) and the 2nd VOR would be nice. Don't need the ILS portion, I have a perfectly...

I am a long time subscriber to Flying Mag. I have read Robert Goyer's articles on shared/fractional piston ownership, and decided to take a look at the numbers. His most recent article in the Dec2006 Flying states: SR22-G2 (1/8th share) = $71,900 (Note that $71,900 * 8 = $575k) $760 monthly...

I'm looking for a PDA program that will do wifi to allow duats flight plans to be filed where there is a wireless hotspot like an FBO. Probably would work thru DUATs. Should be heavily template driven so that I only have to fill in a few things. Bill Hale

Peter, WingX is not hard-coded to any specific screen size. It runs just fine on 320x240, 240x320, 240x240, 640x480, 480x640, and 480x480. In fact, WingX even has the option to automatically change between portrait and landscape - had that for about a year now if I recall correctly. Route...
