Taking the airplane to the Cessna Service Center at Pensacola this week for the first time. Here's the list: o Install Garmin software updates just received from Cessna. o Repair fuel leak at tank hatch screw on top of wing. o Replace missing rubber step pad on left l. g. strut....

Greetings! I have been looking to purchase an airplane and have noticed a side note during the search : Entertainment! When I talk to some perspective seller, as they tell me about thier 'creampuff' airplane I am at the SAME time loading the DATA of thier airplane into Vref or the NAAA ...

Folks, Been reading a bit of marketing blurb lately on synthetic engine oils with respect to my AEIO-360 in my Pitts. I fly it mostly on weekends and it sometimes goes a few weeks without being flown due to weather, mostly cool and humid here in the UK. Is there any benefit to the synthetics...

Well the latest Lycoming Crank AD is out. I dodged another one. Looks like 1995 was a good year for IO-540s! Wonder if I will be so lucky in the future. Michelle P

WABC this evening in New York had a hatchet piece on the "Security" (or lack of) at small airports in the area. Phil Boyer had a couple of seconds on camera pointing out the billions it would cost to fence in and secure all the small airports in the country. The reporter drove around a number...

Last week I walked up to a couple pilots discussing an airplane that was sitting on the ramp at STE. They noted that it did not have a data tag on it so they really weren't sure what it was. What it looked like was an early straight leg 172 fastback, but it had a swept tail, not a straight tail. ...

The old rent vs buy decision..... His acts are not without an aviation parallel: Eliot's stupid harlot trick is what happens when one fails to properly make the rent/buy decision. Renting at $4500/hour might've looked good on paper compared to what he could get at home---his $151K...

I need a renter's liability policy with $1MM total liability and $500M per seat coverage. I called AOPA and they only offer $1MM/$100M coverage. I think they still use Avemco. Anyone know of a company that offers high seat limits? My company requires this level of coverage to get into they...

For you folks that have the Skyhawks with the O-360 conversion, please let me know what your empty weight and its moment arm is. Also, just tag if your fix or C/S prop. TIA -- Regards, Ross

What would be some ways to get in touch with someone when looking for a partner to share in the joys (and sorrows) of aircraft ownership? I am going to try placing flyers at the local FBO's. I thought about downloading the Airmans database from the FAA and pulling out all the pilots with current...

A friend of mine just got a new Continental engine for his Cessna (182RG I think, but don't those have struts? This one doesn't, but it isn't a Cardinal... I don't know my Cessnas too well... anyways). He says the factory had it sent with some expensive brand of 5W-30 (or was 5W-15? something...

I was watching the new tonight and saw those storms. I hope they are not near you Jerry Kurata

I am looking at sharing the cost of an aircraft with 3 others. Does anyone out there have an example agreement or know the location of one on the net for viewing? Regards, Tony

Is is possible to make a living instructing without taking an oath of poverty? I would love to instruct full time but the rates seem downright insulting. The only instuctors I know are either young kids waiting to get on with the majors, or geezers who drive rusted out Ford Pintos and can't afford...

Hope you are still reading the NG. Congratulations on being awarded the Master Aerial Photographer designation. I just read about it in the July 2006 AOPA Pilot (page 54). I have see your work on your website. If I ever get to New York, I am coming to see you. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180 hp KSWI

We are currently working on two new turbine aircraft built about 60 serial numbers apart. They have each presented the same problem. Comm reception on frequency 118.5 deterioates after an hour so and becomes unreadable when the tower is broadcasting. However, you can still hear other aircraft...

Anybody who has a DNST12 data card for a Northstar M3 Navigator who would like to part with it, please let me know. Remove the obvious letters from the email address. Thanks. Dave Reinhart
