I have the opposite problem from the usual "four seats doesn't mean four pax" problem -- I'm looking for an aircraft with typical four-place load (and price) to carry five small passengers and minimal baggage.

I am looking into purchasing my own plane... I think that I am pretty aware of the costs (as much as a non-owner can be).

Did anyone else notice that the C195 on EAA's August calendar / wallpaper http://www.eaa.org/wallpaper/images/august04/cessna195_640.jpg has a backwards-turning prop? Dave

I just bought a Helio Courier and the fuel guages (actually one guage with a four position switch) don't work very well. Since different tanks seem to work differently I assume that the problem is in the sender or the wiring. Where should I start? does anybody know what the resistance range...

Hi, I have a problem with my com system. When my passenger has plugged in the headset the signal becomes very weak. I had the maintenance guys have a look at it but they say all works fine. We also use the same type of headsets and tried the mono/stereo setting but this does not improve...
