Matterhorn white aerosol spray can by sky
I'm replacing an inspection cover on my plane, the plane is painted with U.S Paint Awlgrip Matterhorn White. I have a small touch-up bottle of matterhorn white, but the inspection cover is too big to brush it and it would look bad. Does anyone know if matterhorn white or something very similar...

Garrett Rescu/88 ELT Wanted by Mike Spera
ELT will activate but will not turn off. This unit is not available at the various boneyards. Anyone have a working unit for sale? I HATE the thought of spending any time in the tail to mount a different type and tearing apart the interior panels to run new wires for the...

A real head-scratcher by Jay Honeck
So we hop in the plane yesterday for the 50 minute flight to Janesville, WI, and I notice that the display on our JPI EDM-700 engine analyzer looks funny. Some of the LED numbers are missing pieces. Most are not. All the vertical graph/bars appear to be fine. Now for the odd part: The missing...

2nd airplane by Jim Carter[_1_]
Based on a posting by newps, I started thinking about what the perfect 2nd airplane should be assuming the 1st aircraft was purchased for longer all-weather cross-countries. In other words, if the first aircraft was a Navion, or Bonanza, or even a Sierra or Arrow (newer aircraft excluded because we...

Flew home and boy are my arms tired! by Steve Schneider
Literally! The in-laws live out in Chandler, AZ. Each summer they escape the heat by taking their 5th wheel and heading to cooler parts. We'll normally fly the kids out to wherever they happen to be so they can spend a few weeks with Grandma and Grandpa. A few weeks later we fly out to wherever...

Buying recently rebuilt or fixing one up? by [email protected]
I am currently taking flying lessons. I would like to own my own aircraft and have been considering various options. I am currently training in a 152 and I think a 150 or 152 would be a fun first plane to build time with. The 150/152's that appear to be in good condition seem to be in the 35k range...

I've just upgraded to a garmin 496 from a 296 and want to hook up the audio output to the intercom. I haven't had a chance to look at the back of the intercom. Can anyone tell me what kind of auxiliary connection the 403mc uses? I would like to make up a patch cable before I visit the hangar...

IO-540 mystery by Paul Tomblin
Our club's PA32R-300 has an IO-540 with lots and lots of hours on it. After 20+ years, at this year's annual the compression was down a few pounds on a couple of the cylinders, and the mechanic said he really has his doubts about it passing next year's annual. That might be significant, or it...

Mixture--science vs witchcraft? by Douglas Paterson
Still getting to know my new baby (1990 TB-20, normally aspirated 250hp Lycoming IO-540). I imagine my question here must apply to most non-turbo, non-FADEC pistons (though I gather there's some sort of altitude compensator on some airplanes' engines?). I live in Colorado, which means routine...

Least Expensive Plane To Buy and Own by Michael Adams
I am looking for some input on the least expensive airplanes to own. I've heard so many horror stories about the $5000 or even $15,000 annual, or the seat adjuster that costs $600, that I thought I would get some input on this before buying. So I'm looking for low purchase price (used), low...

Cherokee exhaust repair? by [email protected]
Hey all... I'm thinking it's getting close to where the mufflers in my Cherokee 180 could stand to be repaired/replaced. Any thoughts on a good place to have it done? This is the dual-muffler style as is on the clamshell-cowled later -180's. Also, I'd be interested to find out if there's any...

I plan on applied glue and clamped the patches in place; when dry, putting in the nails. What are the nails doing for me and is hammering in nails after the...

KAP140 problems by Cary
Yesterday I went out for some IMC practice, and had several problems with my autopilot. The first thing I noticed is that while in altitude hold and heading mode, whenever ATC gave me a heading change the KAP140 had a hard time maintaining altitude. The VSI would go up or down 600 to 800 fpm during...
