UPDATED - Overhaul time.... by
Dennis O'Connor
BTW, due to cross firing of the prefrontal lobes I kept calling the Unison
LASAR ignition system the SlickStart... Slick Start is their solid state
'shower of sparks' box that can be added to most any magneto system for
improved starting... About $300.. I have flown a plane with one and it
worked...

Montague Folding Bikes by
Mark T. Mueller
Anyone have these? I am looking at the Mountain Bike version. I don't care
much for the components (since I typically "roll my own"), but Montague
refuses to answer my emails about just buying the frames so I can build a
decent bike around it...
SOOO, I am just interested in anyone's personal...

Stolen Cessna 182 N2504R by
Paul
I was always surprised at how feeble and (seemingly) easy-to-break-in
light aircraft appear to be... And yet, aircraft theft seems to be a
(fortunately) rare occurrence (as far as I know.) I would guess this is
due to the relative ease by which aircraft can be tracked down (ATC,
etc.) Also, the...

AI/DG Overhaul shops by
[email protected]
Hey all. I posted a week or so ago about an AI that had gone TU.
I'm figuring to do a complete vacuum system overhaul on my Cherokee and
was looking for suggestions on places to have gyros redone. I've talked
with Kelly instruments, and they seem to be relatively inexpensive and
have high...

Overhaul time.... by
A Lieberman
Well, decided to make that move. I managed to get 2040 hours out of my
engine in my Sundowner, and now have another cylinder acting up (both
plugs getting "wet") at slow idle. I just had a cylinder put in (ate an
exhaust valve) last month, so instead of nickle and diming my expenses
away in this...

happy, I think? (OBS problem reprise) by
Snowbird
Well, for the cost of an hour or so and a $10 capacitor,
our avionics guy once more resurrected our KI 201C
So, we don't need to run out and buy a replacement.
I'm happy, I think? I mean, it's nice to spend $100
instead of $1000. OTOH, I suppose I was getting a bit
psyched at the notion of...

Next step in the 175B, insurance companies are a pain! CS prop question by
Wayne
Well, sent my info to the insurance, they got back to me, through one of
the other partners, and said they needed more information. They wanted to
know how many hours I had in a 175B, I said I had none, but shouldn't the
172 count? It's the same except for the CS prop. So I gave them what...

Weird radio "problem" by
Michael 182
The other day I when I was handed off to a center frequency I got a
continuous "rx", like a stuck mic, on my Garmin 430. I asked about changing
freq, he said he did not have another available. I explained the stuck mic,
and he queried other pilots on the freq, who all reported 5x5. I...

What Bugs You The Most? by
Charles Talleyrand
Of course everyone thinks their plane is wonderful, but every plane has at least
one annoying 'feature'. I don't want to hear about cabin width or cruise speed,
but that minor gremlin you would fix if money was free and time replaceable.
In my plane, the overflow vent vents too much and full...

Suggestions sought for prop gov repair by
ks_av8r
Our Hartzell prop governor on an IO-360 Lyc has developed a nasty little oil
leak around the control shaft. The company in Wichita that successfully
repaired it many years ago is no longer performing this type of work.
Currently we are considering sending it directly to Hartzell, but if...

Lightspeed with Foggles question by
Jim
Hi Sydney,
I've got Lightspeeds and although the noise was never a problem, the way
they press the bows of the foggles into my brain starts to bother me after
awhile. I've often thought about buying a cheap pair of wire frame
sunglasses and cutting the bows off them, then also cutting most of the...

Pricing a '74 Archer by
Mike Noel
I'm trying to decide what is a fair price for this aircraft. I looked at
the asking price of 74 Archers in Trade-a-Plane and saw prices ranging from
the high 40's to the high 50's. I used the TAP estimator and came up with
about 52K. This plane is in good condition in and out, has older...

Source for copper crush gaskets??? by

I buy crush gaskets in copper and aluminum from he
http://www.marylandmetrics.com/ but as you might suspect from the name, they
are metric. They have a very wide range of sizes so you may find a close

Exxon 20W50 by
Dennis O'Connor
Did you notice the blurb in AOPA EPILOT that Exxon has, and has been having,
deposits of grey crud in their bottles of oil, but they say it is just fine
and there is no need for them to replace it, or to pay to tear your engines
down...
Besides, there is a lot less of the crud in this months...

Altitude encoder by
Chad Lemmen
I need a new encoder. I currently have a Trans-Cal D120-P2-T. I can get
an overhauled exchange for $230. Should I do that or just replace it with
a new ACK A-30 or Ameri-King AK-350? The Ameri-King is the cheapest at
$150. I believe both the ACK and Ameri-King use an oven to compensate...
