Hi, I'm looking for an instructor to help me with my Private Pilot's licence. I have about 20 hours of flight training from an instructor in California, but now I have brought my plane to Chandler's Stellar Airpark and I'm hoping to find an instructor here for around $20/hour (or less :-). Does...

Anyone have a problem with their Skylane alternator? The alternator indicator needles keeps flickering and so do the lights. What was the remedy? Thx in advance, V. Lenoch

My 1980 B-55 has uneven load distribution on the two alternators, with the right side consistently reading around 15% lower than the left. Is this an indication of a problem with the alternator like a bad diode, or is this normal operating behavior?

I'm just about to put some new ear seals on an old worn out DC 10-20 headset. I'm trying to decide between the David Clark Undercut Gel seals and the Oregon Aero soft seals. Anyone have any opinions about either of these products? Oregon Aero says their seals help reduce the level of noise to such...

I want to make my own aluminum overlays to simply replace the plastic in my Piper Cherokee. I've been told over and over that this is cosmetic, non-structural and therefore legal without an approved 337. The only thing is that on the middle and lower strip of instruments (fuel guages, RPM, etc.)...

Where is the RFI capacitor typically located in a 1971 Piper Cherokee 180? On the firewall? In the cabin? Next to the battery? Here's a link to the Cherokee electrical schematic. http://www.needlescentered.com/cherokee_electrical.htm Thanks, Nathan

Hi Guys, Another one of our local EAA members emailed me with news the FAA is wanting to increase the total time a pilot has from 200 hours to 500 before they can give rides in a plane. This was brought up because our chapter is really active the the Young Eagles program and some of the newest...

I need to buy a 3 1/8 inch electric turn and bank for the RV-8 I'm building. Aircraft Spruce sells two, and I'm wondering whether there is any reason to pick one over the other, other than the small price difference. Does any one have opinions on the performance and reliability of the RC Allen...

With my feet flat on the floor, ... not touching the rudder pedals, my Citabria rolls to the left. I have to hold right stick a bit for an entire trip. I was told the the wing had to be "bent". There are adjustments at the base of each strut on both sides of the fuselage. I'd like to take in a...

It has been a few weeks since I added glide slope receiver (KN75) and ILS indicater (KI209A) to my trusted KX125. All was well, and they track ILS just fine. But when tracking VOR, com transmission would somehow block off nav signal and both indicators (KI209A & KN125 built-in) would show "off"...

Can you help me identify an aircraft? It is a small general aviation single-engine, two-seat, tri-gear, high-wing monoplane. The most distinguishing features are that the canopy has a moderate "bubble" shape, and the wings are swept forward about 5 or 10 degrees. The one I saw (in Fort Stockton,...

Got a problem here, and I'm wondering if anyone else has run into it before. Five years ago (or so) the previous owner of our Cherokee 235 repainted the fiberglass wingtip tanks. Apparently he had an automotive body shop do the fiberglass work, and around the filler necks they used a fiberglass...

Does anyone out there have a good handle on the two year depreciation (percent) in probable sale price of a new airplane such as a Skyhawk SP? Even though this is a newsgroup, this time I'd prefer answers based on actual facts and real knowledge. -- Roger Long
