I just got my first issue of "Light Plane Maintenance" magazine. I am really enjoying it. In their free book "40 Top Maintenance Tips" (p27), they say "get the Halon extinguisher while they are still legal." As I recall, there has been some issue that inhaling Halon can be pretty bad for people's...

As my .signature attests, I'm also a ham radio operator. I'd like to be able to use a 2 meter/440 MHz dual-band radio in the aircraft. While, ideally, that radio would be an Icom IC-2820H, like the one in my car, practically speaking it'll be a handheld. An external antenna would seem to be a...

Want to combine my hobbies as I acquire a C-172 - has anyone mounted a ham radio in their bird and wired it through the comm panel? Problems? Successes? Don

I've just bought myself a new Garmin handheld GPS. I noticed that the auto dash mount is stuck to the dashboard with some kind of double-stick stuff. Is it OK by the FAA to stick the mount onto my airplane's glare shield this way, or do they consider it a permanent installation and require 337s...

The local airport authority (county) wants a pretty hefty chunk of change increase in the ground rental for our personally owned PortAPort hangars as well as a goodly increase in the county owned permanent T-hangars at GOO. If you are in a hangar (especially a personally owned portaport type...

Hi, I tried to keep this to the r.a.marketplace but I own a plane and like to of seen hangar options come my way. Plus you might be interested in sharing my 8KCAB with me! I have a nice empty 48x48 with heat, bathroom, sat tv and all utils at FTG Front Range in Watkins, CO just 25 minutes out of...

Our City Council recently had some t-hangars built at KRBG. They were built on a slope, I think 1.5%. The doors open real easily one way, and need help going the other way. The floors aren't level, the walls aren't vertical, albeit not by very much. My question is: Doesn't this cause some...

I recently purchased a hangar with a one piece site-constructed door with an electric opener. After replacing some rotted 1X4s on the bottom, the door now binds and needs adjusment. I was told the door was called either an EAA door or an Ultimate door (Ultimate being the company that made the...

I see a neighbor's hangar has two conventional fire extinguishers on the wall. Not a bad idea, I'm sure. But for potential hangar fires are halon still the best or are the conventional extinguishers just fine?

I have hangar space available at the Airlake Airport at Lakeville, MN (KLVN) for a SE aircraft. The hangar has electric bifold doors on both ends, so no one gets "stuck" in the back. Rent is $200 / month. Please email me back at:

I'm on a temporary job assignment in Stratford, ct and have been thinking about bringing my old Bonanza up from Texas. Anybody know of a good place to hangar an aircraft in this part of the country? Haven't flown in a few months and having withdrawals at this point. Might need to rent something,...

I have a 48x60' hangar that I want to insulate for the upcoming MN winter. What are my options, and what works the best? Anyone from this area have any vendors that they can recommend? I will also be adding some much needed overhead lighting. Any recommendations here? I am not a millionaire,...

I don't know if this has been covered before, but how much is everyone paying for their hangars and what is provided? Mine is a T-hanger with a dirt floor, free electric and manual doors that are a bear to open and close. The hangar is damp of course, but not too bad. When we first secured it...

Construction is in progress for 16 new "T" hangars at 4R4 in Fairhope. After 6 years on the waiting list, I'm guaranteed to get one if I want it. Because of long lead times for structural components--particularly steel structural members--completion is not expected until December. Rent will be...

I have an end unit hangar (extra corner space) in which I am working on a Champ restoration project. There is enough space in the front of the hangar for a small high wing plane like a Champ or Cub or an Ultralight... It isn't the greatest hangar (it leaks a bit), but you can have the front part...

I'm going to be moving to Norman, Oklahoma in a few weeks, and need a place to hangar my Pietenpol. It seems that Westheimer (KOUN) is pretty full, and Perry (1K4) only seems to have open hangars available. Can anyone direct me towards some hangar space? Grass strips are fine, as are small...
