Hello, I'm new to flying and considering purchasing a plane with another studen pilot. Can anyone point me to sample partnership agreements and/or arrangements? I would like to know how the expenses are generally shared particularly for the case where one partner flies more than the...

I have been toying around with the idea of buying a Colt or a Tri-Pacer (having just foolishly sold my Ercoupe) and ran across an ad for a Colt with a child seat STC. I did a google search, a deja/google group search (on rec.aviation) and looked at the Short wing Piper web site and found nothing...

I recently purchased a Cherokee 180 and plan on getting a handheld transceiver. So last night I applied for an individual license. Since I also plan to fly to Canada, do I also need an aircraft license, and since it was a previously registered plane, do I transfer the license?? Any help would be...

Anyone running the Titans? How have they been running? Any problems? I did hear some hearsay that they ran cooler than Lyc's on an overhauled 360. Any word on this? TIA

I have a Cessna 172XP with the 195 HP Continental IO-360. The engine runs great but is at 1400SMOH and is approaching TBO. From the bottom of each cylinder head there is a small aluminum tube. These tubes are manifolded together on each side of the engine and routed down the firewall to vent...

I just bought a Michel TKM MX-11 replacement com to swap out with a Narco Com11A. In the install notes it says that if the unit is used with a intercom then "C75 and R133 needs to be added to the computer motherboard". This note is handwritten. Anyone know what this does, and how can TKM claim to...

Hi folks, We're headed up to Bangor and Bar Harbor to cool down for a vacation next week and I was thinking about renting an airplane for a day or two and touring part of the state. Any thoughts on neat destinations in the area? Also, I wonder if any FBOs or clubs rent Bonanzas up there? All...

I'm wiring some avionics that use shielded wire that needs to have the shield terminated into a connector. Is it best to solder a wire to the shield or crimp a wire to the shield so that I can put a connector pin on it?

Anybody ever trade in an airplane? The misery one of my buddies is having selling his airplane makes me wonder if it might be worth it. How much of a hit would you expect if you trade rather than sell yourself? -- Dan C172RG at BFM

It has been a few weeks since I added glide slope receiver (KN75) and ILS indicater (KI209A) to my trusted KX125. All was well, and they track ILS just fine. But when tracking VOR, com transmission would somehow block off nav signal and both indicators (KI209A & KN125 built-in) would show "off"...

I found the SCAT tube between the muffler shroud and the defrost vent in the glareshield has some cracks (you can only see them if you flex the tube a certain way, which is why they've been missed). Does this present a carbon monoxide danger? It's not the heat exchanger that's cracked, only the...

How are these things being repaired, with a 1"-wide aluminum sheet doubler sandwiched between the corrugated skins? That's what one of the IA's here suggests, other than replacing the skins, which would cost an arm and a leg. TIA.

I've got a Flybuddy Loran in my C150. The manual and the 337 identify it simply as a "Flybuddy Loran." Is the Flybuddy Loran 800 often mentioned on this newsgroup the same item or is it a different one? I ask cuz I'm going to see if I can get the 1993 database card upgraded. Henry

The landing light in my 1979 Cessna 172N keeps blowing out. I have replaced it 3 time and rarely use it. The past bulb hasn't been lighted more than 3 minutes, max. I preflight and it is fine, went to land - dark, no light. Perhaps a lose connection (I'll) check again or possible a surge in the...
