Where is the best place to advertise an aircraft? Trade-a-plane is far from least expensive, but if it sells there fastest, it would be worth it. Are there better places to market a single engine GA plane? Kathy

It looks like I'm about to become the owner of a warbird which will require setting up Experimental Operating Limitations with the FAA. I'm planning on calling the FAA and the EAA on Monday, but is there anyone out there who has gone through this before? I have a copy of the letter the current...

I absolutely HATE electrical issues, and we seem to have another one. My partner flew from Indianapolis to Dallas (via Oklahoma City) and back over the weekend. Everything was fine on the way there. On the way back he started having avionics probems. It started with the VOR needles twitching and...

I've posted twice before on the problems I have been having with my Narco radio's: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.aviation.owning/browse_frm/thread/981307ec4df68cc6 I've decided that I'm going to pull the radio and the connector tray and run new coax from the radio to the antenna, after...

I just bought a 1973 Cessna 172. During runup at 1700 rpm there seems to be no noticeable drop in rpm when carb heat is applied. We inspected the operation of the cable, and flapper and inspected the box and everything looked fine. We inspected the ducting for blockage and found nothing. What...

Is there any way to determine how long an ad has been running in TAP? - Mike

Well after a new fuel Pump, Oil filter adapter replaced with a remote filter mount, and a new Attitude indicator. She is finally back in one piece. No leaks, no drips, no errors. Jut one problem. Tammy is on the way and it is IMC for a hundred miles. I am not going to fly IMC after breaking into...

In the Cessna 172's nosewheel strut are several O-rings, but the one that seals against the chrome piston sometimes twists in its groove and a spiral failure (tear) occurs. All the outer-cavity oil escapes, then the nitrogen leaves and the strut goes flat. The failure appears to happen rather...

I hate repeating things that everybody's probably already read on Avweb or AOPA, but here's the long and the short of a proposed AD published in the Federal Register about ECi connecting rods used in overhauled or repaired Lycoming 360 and 540 cubic inch engines. Full text...

Ok, another turbo question: Can someone please explain to me the performance gain by going above 30" MP (say, during takeoff) on a turbo'd engine. How much better performance are you getting from the engine at say 35"MP on takeoff vs a non-turbo'd engine that's going to max out around 29"? Is it...

I wanted to pass along a great website for anyone who is in general aviaition and possibly looking for a plane. Their owner is honest and a real pro. Lots of inventory. Give their website a look. http://www.greatscotsaircraft.com --- MAF Anti-Spam ID: 20051003112725X2b8AdS0

Well the oil leak is fixed but I have another problem. Geesh it just never stops! The Airwolf remote filter adapter arrived as promised and it is a work of art. Very nicely machined parts. The one thing that was not readily apparent was the extra $200 for the hoses. The total cost for the...

I have recently bought a 1960 Aztec with generators. Although these have been overhauled recently, i'd rather have alternators installed. I see InterAv have a generic kit. Has anyone installed this before? What is the time to install, and any issues with particular brand? Any feedback would be...

Rec.aviation* North 40 Party DID NOT make the October issue of EAA SportAviation magazine. They even had a special North 40 party feature. We suck. :-( Montblack Next year we hook up with those South Africans!!

Hi guys. I've got a bit of a question for the "veterans" of the group. I've been looking at some aircraft as possible purchases, and, being a fan of older styled planes, a lot of them are tube/fabric designs (I'm really interested in an EAA Biplane or other similar design, though I've also been...

Lately I had noticed just a smidge of roughness in the engine. Not a roughness, really, but a slight vibration, maybe a little, tiny, occasional miss? It was not detectable by anyone except someone who flew the plane as often as I do (and, in fact, Mary often couldn't sense it), but it...

Over the life of a fabric a/c, it will undoubtedly go thru owners that hanger it, others that tie it down. For the purposes of estimating the cost of said a/c, what is a generally accepted lifespan for a fabric coating? - Mike

I'm not having any luck locating a new master switch for my '74 Archer, PN 99377-05 / 8911k619. I've got an intermittently bouncing amp meter and suspect the old master is the culprit.

I'm looking for any recommendations for IA/Repair shops (either pro or con) at or near RHV.
