Okay, gang, last chance to get the details. Here's how it's gonna work: Thursday night, immediately after the airshow, we're having a rec.aviation get together at our campsite in the North 40 campground. We'll have a few drinks (*gasp*!), and then head on over to Friar Tucks for dinner. To find...

Hello, Has anyone have first hand experience with both the Argus 5000 and Argus 5000ce. I know a lot of users have transitioned to the CE, but functionality-wise they are about the same. (minus the color, of course) My biggest issue is that I sometime deplore the contrast of my 5000 unit,...

Does anybody know what would be the oldest Cessna 182 that one could re-configure into a standard T "8-pack"? I've seen a '69 done this way, but older models look like they have a curved panel with less room. Thanks! -- Jim Burns III Remove "nospam" to reply

IT'S SIMPLE AND IT'S LEGAL, YOU JUST NEED TO READ THE ENTIRE MESSAGE AND TO TAKE ACTION, NOTHING MORE!!!!!!! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it a little while back, I was browsing through news groups just as you are right now and came across a article similar to this saying that...

Well, today I put a deposit on an airplane! It's a 1961 C-175B with an upgrade to an O360 with a constant speed prop. What a sweet plane, always hangared with 2268TT. I only will own 1/3 of it, but the other two partners only flew 200 hours in the last three years total. Can't wait to take her out....

Is anyone running Amsoil 10-40 full synthetic. I have heard some pilots run this in light singles. I realize it is not certified , so they must think full synthetic is better than dino oil .

Greetings from a frequent reader, and infrequent writer. I have a question about the requirement for anti-collision lighting. I'm restoring a '58 Champ, and there's no evidence of it ever having anything other than Nav lights. I bought it as a basket case, having been completely disassembled, but...

Hi all... I'm nearing the completion of my IR training at CDW, and I'm really eager to try out a Cirrus SR-22 once I'm done. Does anybody know of a FBO, school, club, or partnership of pilots who have an SR-22 available to rent or even buy a share of? I'm not quite interested in the Airshares...

Well, who knows, cast bread upon the waters, leave no turn unstoned and all that. We are based at Spirit of St. Louis with a shadeport lease which runs until January. Our spot is on the more-desireable east facing side of the shadeport which gets afternoon shade (cooler plane and less damage...

Last night, on a short hop back to home base after an instrument lesson (read: extended low power ops), engine shuddered and ran very rough just after level-off and power reduction. Run-up and takeoff were normal, and as usual I leaned like heck for taxi and during runup. About 80 degrees with...

I flew my (new to me) '87 A36 Bonanza at night for the first time recently and discovered a whine when the panel lights where turned on. The flood light switch / circuit doesn't do it and the rheostat for the panel light dimmer changes the frequency. Where do I start with the troubleshooting? I...

We have a shop that's proved that shimmy isn't inevitable in Cessnas, as other shops have tried to tell me in the past. The nose gear started to shimmy after 18 months solid as a rock. Turned out to be water in the wheel, trapped between the two halves and acting like a wheel weight. How it got...
