I inherited a Scott Executive Mark III portable oxygen system. I can't find anything on the web about this unit. Even Scott's own site ends with the Mk II. The 3 is a boxy unit that straps into the back seat as an armrest. If anyone has a manual for one of these I'd love to get a scan or fax of...

Well, I did it again this year. I combined a trip to British Columbia with my final destination being Oshkosh, this time in my Amphib equipped Aviat Husky. I am not sure how many bytes I can post in one message, so if it doesn't all make it, I'll post the rest later. Trip Report 2003 Well, where...

I have an ongoing, frustrating oil leak that four mechanics have looked at, "fixed", charged me over $1,000, and have not made a dent in stopping. So here are the clues I can offer. Any help is GREATLY appreciated! 1) I am going through a quart every 2-3 hours 2) The oil is getting down into the...

I'm looking for an airplane capable of carrying 2 persons and two mountain bikes around the country. I'm thinking a C-172 could probably fullfill the mission with folding Montague Mt bikes stored in fabric bags, but that 2 regular Mt bikes would be awkward to store even with the wheels...

Hello, folks. I'm fishing to see if anyone else here's had the same problem I'm having. I've got a Pitts S-1D with a Christen wobble fuel pump. The action on it has gotten so stiff when priming that I fear it's close to locking up. It still primes fine and the fuel pressure's good when the...

I think you gona Win some hp, that you were loosing to preignition particullarly if you use autogas, because the effect is the same of predetonation, wich stole a lot of power and make excessive heating and wearing. The retard brings the explosion to the best time, producing power (pression)...

My partners and I have all noticed that takeoff roll and climb in our Archer is a bit long and anemic, respectively. The partner who has had a share the longest has said that normal TO RPM has always been around 2,250. One of us recently flew a Cherokee 180 (same engine) that climbed much better...

Anyone know of a Van RV9 for sale? Or if we bought a kit, is there anyone out there that will assemble it for us? *** Sent via http://www.automationtools.com *** Add a newsgroup interface to your website today.

I hope this is the right newsgroup for this question --- An A&P mechanic at the flight school I am attending is considering buying a 172M (75/76 model). He is looking for a partner that will pick up the tab for all maintenance - that is buying repair parts - he will do the labor. While I haven't...

Our #2 OBS is a KI-201C. Our avionics guy rescued it when it turned out to be inop after we bought the plane, by soldering in a $10 capacitor or some such, and it worked flawlessly for about 5 yrs. Now a 10 degree change on the OBS only produces half deflection. This time same avionics guy can't...

As a member of the 150-152 Club I'm going through withdrawals now that the plug has been pulled on the Yahoo forum. I may not have posted very much there but I guess I do check in to read what's new every other day or so. I sincerely hope that it's back up and running soon with no loss of data...

How many hours of service should one expect from a set of spark plugs? (i.e.- Lycoming IO-520 in a PA32-300)

When does an engine needs an overhaul? There are several indications that the engine is comming to the end of its life. But what do peolple really look for to decide an engine is to go to overhaul. Low oil pressure, High oil temperature, Low cylinder compression, Loss of power. Which is the factor...

"PiperSeneca@" wrote: What is the parts availability like for 1940's vintage Navions? Not bad at all. One guy just bought the contents of the Navion factory. From what I've heard, the people that bought the paperwork are trying to make the parts considered bogus, but I don't think they have a...

I have seen this discussed before, but couldn't come up with any hits on Google. The sump drains on one wing an at the engine are running very slowly, so I suspect they need to be cleaned. Also, the one that does drain well continued to drip after I had drained a fuel sample until I had...

Jay, it has been more than a week, what's the word on the headset you were promised?

I fly a Gulfstream 3 and am looking at semi-retiring next year. I plan on getting a Piper Cub, and offering a package vacation which would include a J-3 checkout, sunset boat ride, and a week in a condo/house on or near the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama. There would be other goodies offered such...
