Hello, Does anyone here have a sample purchase and sale agreement. We're in the buying process and would like a standard form we can use so both parties feel good. Any links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

I was wondering if it is possible to remove the ethanol from mogas and thought of the folling idea. Alcohol binds with water. Get a big tank with a spigot at the bottom, fill it with mogas. Add water, aggitate, let sit. The alcohol ladden water will settle to the bottom. Open the spigot, drain the...

I have a 68 C172 with the 38 gal tanks. I do not want to put a fuel tank in the baggage compartment. Has anyone done the mod to change the wing tanks to Cessna Long Range tanks or AC Conversion Tech out of Calif. If so how hard was it. Also I think that the Flint tanks are too much work and too...

Does anybody have a link to a store that will sell me a cable with mini stereo jacks, just like your Ipod? It has to have 90 degree jacks on both ends, I do not want to get adapters. I need a short cable, maybe a foot long but I can deal with a longer cable.

On our flight to Nevada, I was impressed with the smoothness and car-like predictability of Jim Burns' start-up technique with his Lycoming IO-540s. Jim had a way to start them that I'd not seen demonstrated before, which I will describe he 1. Fuel pump on 2. Electric primer on for (a few?)...

What are you older chaps paying for insurance? I just turned 68 and am wonder if I'm going to have a hard time getting insurance in a year or two. I have a pretty simple plane (Tri-Pacer) and at the moment insurance is quite affordable. However I've heard some rumors that the insurance industry is...

Just doing some looking at the difference, or perceived differences between the earlier (1998, 1999, 2000) 172Rs and the 172SPs. And besides the extra kW rating of the same size engine to produce the 180hp (on the SP) over the 160hp (on the R), I can't find much else different. (with the...

There's a California fellow over on the Cherokee 235/236 user's group who is using ethanol-laced mogas in his Cherokee 235, exclusively, and without difficulty. He admits that he *has* ruined his fiberglass tip tanks -- at something like $3500 each -- but this has not deterred him from simply...

my first airplane. cessna 172C. this group, along with a couple of others, has given me the best information as i've progressed. by way of payback, i intend to tell some about the process i went thru for the benefit of others who may be planning; hoping. why a 172-c?? well, a couple of reasons....

As a new pilot and new owner of a cessna 172, I've noticed the seeimingly unlimited amount of accessories available for my plane. Most seem to have one thing in common - a high price tag. I was wondering if anyone reading this thread would share information on any devices that are perhaps homemade...

I recently took a flight that brought me back in the late evening hours, and in a hurry, I was a little remiss in my checklist of securing the plane after shutdown. Landing light, taxi light, strobes, beacon, nav lights and transponder were all left on, but the master was shut off. A few days...

Gents, I'd like to sell my 1964 C model Aztec in order to purchase a newer, shiner, more expensive version. Currently owned by me and a partner in Austin, TX. Will sell my half share (if you are interested in an airplane based in central Texas) or the whole thing. My partner never uses it and...
