I started this thread on rec.aviation.products, but I'm also interested to find out if anyone here has done a panel mounted installation of a Monroy ATD-300 or a ProxAlert R5? If so, where did you mount the antenna and how well does it...

I bought one of those "Y" adapters so I could play my iPod thru my stereo headset. Your headset plug goes in 1 end, and then it branches off to a standard headset plug for the intercom and a "mini" plug for the iPod. The problem is that the plane's radio volume drops to barely audible, even with...

Does anybody know where I can find a manual for the King KFC-200 as a PDF? Google only shows some places where I can buy a paper copy. I'm still trying to figure out what fried chicken has to do with flying airplanes.

Hello all, Is there such a thing as a "day of purchase" contract? We've done a title/lien search and all, but it'll be a couple weeks til the sale actually happens. In that time a purchaser could put a new lien on the plane. What do you do to protect yourself against this? Is there some sort...

Hi There, I'm wondering if the MX20 or other MFDs have the capability to output a signal from a line-in, like a DVD player or what have you. It would be ideal to have the RCA (the red, white, yellow) inputs on the front of your panel and just plug in an IPOD video and then watch/listen to...

Hi! Abyone out there using any PDA GPS software that works in Europe? I've seen lot's of "shiny" stuff on the net, but all of them are US only. I'm looking for something with an aviation database, terrain would be nice, flightplan features and that will work on a win mobile 5 PDA. So far, only...

Hi everybody, I have just bought myself a 31st birthday present, an absolutely immaculate Cessna 172H. It has original paint and interior and looks as though it just came out of the factory. Has has a fairly easy life with total time of 4,400 and log books going back to original assembly in...

I have 43.13 and CAA 18 and the EAA book on welding. (I'm using OxyAcy). They talk about how to do various splices and patches. However, they seem to be missing some of the practical aspects. I"m taking apart a tailfeather for a taildragger that has considerable rust. Some members are so rusted...

The "Mystery Vibration" saga in the 74 Cherokee 140 (O-320 - E3D)continues. I began the quest by addressing those items that were due anyway. Swapped out the plugs with the old set and saw no difference. Had the mags overhauled as they were 20 hours away from their 500 hour mark where I usually...
