Ignition leads by C Kingsbury
So a few weeks back I posted here about large mag drops and electrical noise on the radio. Many posters prognosticated that an ignition lead was to blame, and when the mechanic opened the cowling, this was confirmed- one lead gone beyond repair. He put all leads on a tester, and said the other 7...

What is the minimum legal distance (altitude) to fly VFR under a Class B "wedding cake"? CLE has a 1900 ft floor at the north side by Lake Erie and I have flown at 1800 to go around CLE. I was not talking to CLE so I don't know if they objected. Today I was coming around CLE decending IFR. When...

Step-up Planning by O. Sami Saydjari
I now own a PA28R201T, Piper Turbo Arrow III. It is a great plane (although, as some of you know, I have had more than my share of "challenges"). At altitude it cruises at 170 knots. Cost to operate is around $90/hour (figuring maintenance and such). My range requirement is 660nm with 45...

Low oil pressure, high oil temp? by Roy Smith
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...

turbo stc? by The Weiss Family
Has anyone heard of either a turbo or supercharger STC for an IO-360? In particular, an IO-360-A2B? It seems that there would be a HUGE market for a turbo upgrade. Adam PP-ASEL

"Speed" tape? by Jay Honeck
