I have used LightSpeed QFR Cross Country (ANR) headset for 4 years. During this AOPA 2006 convention, I was tempted by the Bose's discount and purchased a Bose X headset. After 2 flights, today I decide to return the Bose headset. The reason that I return the Bose is because it seems to be...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9KlvBSh2uo Wanted to go touch some clouds today. Hopefully this video will be a stark reminder to get NOTAMS no matter how short the flight may be.. Airport 5 minutes from where I am based was closed due to a model jet air show and I probably would have missed...

Is there an on-line listing of all Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Service Spares Letters for a Piper Turbo Arrow III? I went to the New Piper web site and they say that you have to purchase them from an authorized dealer. It seems to me that someone might have taken the trouble to put...

Any one have any sales advice on piston twins v.s turbo prop twins. I'm currently in the process of aquiring a charter buisness that operates 2 navajo aircraft. I've heard some people say that the days of the piston twin in commercial charter work may be coming to an end. Now I don't know if...

A small oil leak has shown up topside and immediately behind the nosebowl on my Zodiac 601 HD powered with a C85. As near as can be seen, the crankcase nipple connection and hose leading to the air/oil separator is not "wet" or showing leakage. Neither the hose nor air/oil separator are...

My current intercom is a Pilot PA 400 4-place portable. I have used it for the last 7 years and it works well for its price. It works with all mine and my friend's headsets, has good volume. Once the squelch is adjusted, it does not clip the first syllable from every word. There is some very...

I was reading on http://150cessna.tripod.com about owner manufactured parts. I was wondering if I could make my own interior parts? For example change plastic parts to aluminum, or titanium such as the plastic instrument bezels, mike holder ECT. I have access to a really nice machine shop, CNC...

I have a chance to buy a 63 aztec in rough condition. It would be my first plane. Engines have 1200 smoh but one has a cracked cylinder. (estimated repair, $5000?) Paint is poor. ($5000 estimate?) Interior is poor ($5000 estimate?). Brand new props. Only 1 nav/com. older avionics. Auto pilot...

Jon, Have a pre-buy inspection done by a mechanic that hasn't worked on the plane for the previous owner. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

It's 10pm. It's 6 degrees outside. I decide to go flying. I fly an Cessna 150. The engine has a Tanis preheater. During the pre-flight I notice that the engine block feel reasonably warm. Everything else looks good. I prime 3 or 5 shots and crank the engine. No joy. I let it crank for...

Can any one post the pinout of the King KT78 transponder? Thanks Dave

Yes, I know it'll smell better and reduce rash, but is there any reason I can't use baby powder as tire talc? TIA, No Spam

Hello cyber-friends: I may be moving to the Austin, TX area in the near future and am looking for information about the area. I've already looked up airport information at AirNav. Regarding this area, what is the general attitude toward GA? Are any of the airports threatened to shut down due to...

There is still no word locating him. Hope for the best. That brings up the ELT topic. It either did not go off or it is out of range. I have a APRS tracker that continuously sends position/velocity info on the ham frequency and can easily be viewed on a Google map anytime. Worked very well for me...

I will be flying to the Los Angeles area next week to visit my son who lives in Redondo Beach, which is in the southwest part of the city. Most convenient airports appear to be TOA (Torrance) and HHR (Hawthorne). I would appreciate recommendations between the two, and for specific...

Hey all. I'm pretty certain I've convinced myself that my "bad starter" and/or bad ring gear are actually my battery going bad. With the skytec starter, it makes sense that at high-load, the voltage could drop enough so the starter solenoid cannot hold the gear engaged to the flywheel. It pops...
