I guess Garmin really does listen to us.... Got our 396 yesterday... What a sweet piece of equipment by the way... I thought I would remove the magnets in the GX30 antenna so I wouldn't have to mess with the Whiskey compass getting spatially disoriented... I found the instructions for removing...

After years of looking, I recently obtained a pair of the old Piper Cherokee logos from the center of the old style bow tie yokes. They are in fine condition and really jazz up the cockpit I am unsure of what to use to mount them in the semicircular recess in the yoke. I would not want to use an...

Hello, We just replaced our muffler on the Mooney M20E Super 21 (1966) and have the old one sitting at welding shop. Turns out that the price for a new one was comparable to getting the old one fixed. If anyone thinks they can do something with the old muffler, they can email me...

My annual inspection on the Ercoupe was due in June. What I usually do is take the plane to the inspector late in the month and then he usually signs/dates it the next month so I get close to 13 months between annuals. So, I took my plane from Fairmont (FRM) to Jackson (MJQ) on June 30th...

One of the tachs in our Aztec has been acting kind of flakey, usually reading too high when above 2100 rpms, (I've checked it several times with an optical tach) so I've been contemplating our options of replacing both tachs with a single dual needle tach. This would open up some panel...

I've read lots of stories about it and if finally happened to me, I had my first ramp check. I flew into South Haven, MI (LWA) today to get fuel, it's self serve, and as I was fueling two men wearing ID's around their necks and holding clipboards approached my plane. I couldn't read what their...

We just had a complete refit of our Piper Archers avionic stack and collected it from the avionic installers. We had a two hour flight back to our base and the new equipment performed very well. The only issue, is that the 530 got really hot and I wondered what experience others have the GNS530...

We have had TIS in three of the planes in our partnership for a while now. I consider it a safety of flight issue. When it is working the number of unseen planes around you it displays is amazing. I really don't want to fly without it at this point. Unfortunately is seems that the data is not...

I am considering upgrading the starter in my 182P Skylane with the new Sky-Tec flyweight starter. It looks like it will spin the prop faster -w- less power. Does anyone have experience with the Sky-Tec flyweight starter in an O-470 engine? Guy Byars

I've contemplating buying my first plane. C182 is almost perfect for what Iwant to do with the plane. alas the last few flights have had some significant overwater legs. CRQ-AVX-SBA I also want to be able to comfortably return home after dark. Thus I was thinking about a light twin, something...

My Hartzell 3-blade propeller (way less than 2400 TBO hours, but at 6 years since new) is due for overhaul and I am looking for the names of propeller shops that owners on this group have found to be the best they have dealt with in the past. Those closest to St. Louis, MO are preferred. ...

I'm curious what the current state of sea plane fuel is. When I started flying sea planes cross countries were planned to docs where boat fuel was available and most all seaplanes had mogas STCs. Since avgas is so rare on the water and seaplanes have such short legs what are people doing today with...
