I have a King KLN90B and it's knobs have gone haywire. I think it has to go back to King for a rebuild. Is there any way I can get an RMA number and send this back to King or do I have to go through an avionics shop?

Well, the Warrior finally got too small for the family (or rather for all the equipment that seems to accompany two small children) so I've traded up to a 1980 Saratoga... http://www.mikeg.net/plane/n8096J It used to be a turbo, but that was removed when LoPresti put a factory engine in it 550...

Okay, I always love reading everyone's thoughts on these types of questions so I'll post one for myself. Well, my wife finally gave me thumbs up to buy a plane after taking a 6-year break from flying. Well, I'm pretty conservative and worry about losing my job, etc. But darn it, it is about...

Hello! I'd like to ask the help of the assembled exeprtise here about the details of the standard two-sided Cessna masterswitch. I'm rewiring my Pitts to put a B&C alternator in it. I've got a two-sided switch and can't remember which side is the battery side and which is the alternator side. ...

Usually the hand on my ammeter bounces for a few moments while taxing and then settles down at about 20 amps. Yesterday it continued to be erratic with a few calm moments with the hand indicating 10 amps. The ammeter has 1976 stamped on the back. Do these things ever wear out? Is there any way...

Hello, I've to replace the rubber seal between the wing and the fuselage. The problem is that I do not know what glue to use. My mechanic told me to use Bison Tix, this made me to rise an eyebrow because I was once being told not to use that stuff because of corrosion problems.(This was when I was...

Karl, your post makes no sense to me. Every landing I make, in my '64 235, is as soft as a baby's ass! True, many people don't know how to land it, as typical Cessna indoctrination won't do! The technique I use, is chop it (throttle), and drop it (steep approach), then a progressive flare to a...

Anyone have recommendations for a good shop for a Piper Arrow in Madison, WI, and surrounding airports? Thanks, Alex

Anyone out there willing to share how much an overhaul cost in your Cardinal's IO360? If so, what type of overhaul, from where, and how satisfied are you? In looking at Cardinals, I'm trying to get a handle on how much to plan for when it comes time for a new engine. Hopefully, that would be...

Hey Cherokee owners, Has anyone run into a problem with the whole dash and all avionics heating up??? Since I bought the plane this past summer, I thought all the heat build up was due to our famous San Antonio summer weather. But I flew into a cold front last night and the temp went down below...

If I own a single engine airplane that needs some interior upholstery and trim repairs, can I contract with an automotive upholstery repair shop to do the work, or do I need to use an FAA Repair Station? Thanks, -- Mike Schumann

If you have an AOPA/MBNA credit card then you should check the APR on your last statements. MBNA has been raising the APR on AOPA cardholders, even if you pay on time. So check your credit card statements and call AOPA credit card services to complain. And also call MBNA to drop the rate back down.
