Where is it dictated that certain states/cities require ethanol in their auto fuel? I've been to the EPA website and get 1000 hits on ethanol, but none which show me the requirements. Thanks Dave

Anybody have a favorite aviation weather web site with 24hr+ forecasts? Dave

I wanted to start a thread based on my recent experience with car gas. I'm not out in Ada, OK, and got worried when I saw that the local Wal- Mart gas station sells ethanol gas. This is no good for Anna, so I did some research with my coworkers and found 2 gas stations in Ada that sell ethanol free...

"Stealth Pilot" wrote I presume that you are asking about exhausts since stainless is not used in most of GA aircraft at all. Correct me if I'm wrong, but are many firewalls not made of stainless, or layers of stainless and other heat resistant fibers? --...

I'm looking for a piece of used fabric. As strange as this may sound, I want to study it. If anyone has a piece from 14"x14" to 16x16 (or there abouts) could you contact me? I'm curious about how this stuff works. Lou

Nice VFR day for flying and doing some landing work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzaeqwn1GJ4 "Plane having" fun, just wanted to commit aviation and enjoy the sensation of flight. Figure to practice some slips to landings and no flap landings after slow flighting it in the practice area

I have owned this Cherokee 140 since 1994. I have logged over 1000 hours in it through the original and the now installed overhauled engine. Oil temps were usually at 180 degrees (both engines)when OATs were between 50-80 degrees or so. It would read 1 needle mark higher when it got to be 95+...

new proposed rule in today's federal register (watch the linewrap) http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20081800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008 /E8-3822.htm It would appear that the FAA wants to make the aircraft registration certificate invalid if the registration hasn't been properly...

Any DA40 owners here ? Assume one flies 100-150 hours/year, how much is the annual cost associated with owning a new DA40 ? What about a 5-6 years 2nd hand one ? I don't own business and have no way of writting off any of the costs.

Is anyone manufacturing new open cockpit aircraft? I'm aware of the Waco Classic Aircraft Corporation, which makes new WACOs, but that's it. Is the WACO the only new built open cockpit aircraft around? -Charles Talleyrand

Aviators, I'm selling one of my two Bose Aviation X headsets with deep regret. It is about one year old and is in near new condition. It's on eBay right now for $500.00. http://tinyurl.com/2hrhdv Sorry for the cross posting...

I'm wondering if anyone here owns a Bonanza A36 (or any Bo with a similar wing structure) with high airframe time (10,000 hours)? I ask because my local A&P who rebuilds a lot of wrecked airplanes knows of an A36 that had a nose gear collapse and has been collecting dust in a hangar for the...

Hey, fellers... I was always taught that if a subject started in the newsgroups, it STAYED in the newsgroups. Lately it seems more and more that in answer to some aviation thread in these groups, I'm getting an email request for more information. Please, if it starts in these groups, let's KEEP...
