It occurs to me that I've somehow managed to avoid actually posting the details of my recent purchase. Some of you may have noticed (from some of my other posts) that I just picked up a new toy. She's a 1993 Socata TB9 Tampico (pictures are available on my company...

Just wondering if anyone has some experience on the above subject. I'm looking at building up some time (500 hours or more) within the next couple of years. My two options are to buy an older 172/Arrow etc or just to keep renting which is very expensive. If I can find a decent airplane, in the...

I'm curious if anyone has ever done this: Purchase a used aircraft in California (my state of residency) and have it delivered by the dealer to Oregon. There it will stay for 91 days and be flown on occasion, then brought back down into California. My real question here is "if I buy the aircraft...

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a new Cirrus SR22? Is it still 6 months or more for a delivery position? Thanks... Lenny

I'm about to start building the "furniture" for the hangar. After a lifetime of building "manly" workbenches out of DF 4x4s milled to take 2x4 crossmembers, and having the concomitant rot and deterioration of wood, I'm considering making the framing out of 1¼ PVC Schedule 40 pipe and fittings. ...

I need some help with Piper part numbers. I'm looking for the Piper Part numbers of the 6.00x6 nose wheel fork used on the "heavier" Cherokees, Comanchees, etc. Jay Honeck and Don Tuite sent reprints of the PA28 manual pages which show only the 5.00x5 wheel and hardware. Thanks guys. I have seen...

If you go to http://www.ontarioseaplane.com and click on "photo gallery" then click on "interesting floatplane pictures", there is a Cherokee on floats. Probably one of only 2 or 3 in the world. (There ya go Jay Honeck!)

We were doing the annual on a 1973 Cessna 172M today and discovered the fuel selector valve would not shut off the fuel - in any postion. The handle is not slipping on the shaft and there is mechanical connect through the linkage. The detents can be felt in each position and we can visually see the...

Alright, I need your comments on Randolph Wing Walk Compound. I am going to do a few things to clean up my Arrow. One of the more noticeable things is the wing walk. I have bought some Wing Walk Compound, and weather permitting will probably put it on this weekend. Any suggestions? Any personal...

I was on a training flight a few days ago in a 180 HP Arrow. I was demonstrating pitch stability. We were trimmed for straight and level cruise (something like 23 inches and 2300 RPM at 3500 feet) when I pushed us over into a dive, letting the airspeed climb well up into the yellow arc. Here's...

I am thinking about upgrading my aging Garmin 195. The new inexpensive WAAS-enabled offerings from Lowrance make it almost irresistible, and my Garmin is losing value in the used market fast. As I see it, my options are to upgrade the handheld or just grit my teeth and save up for a panel-mount....

I am getting sick and tired of rude, arrogant, sellers funny thing I just had a guy refuse to let my mechanic do a pre buy said he could not trust my mechanic to give an honest opinion and that if I cannot decide for my self if I wanted it or not then I don't need an airplane and don't need to be...

....And just to prove it, I will announce the following to the aviation world: Yesterday, for the first time since I bought Atlas in 2002, EVERYTHING in the panel worked as designed all at the same time! Both radios (one new), both VORs (one new), both GPS's (one new), the transponder (new), the...

Hello. Looking at buying another airplane (I tried cutting out the middleman and just flushing $100 bills down the toilet, but it isn't quite the same). I'm currently considering early-mid 60s Cessna 172s, powered by the 145 HP Continental O-300, and would like to hear from any owners of these...
