O. Sami Saydjari
I have a Gill G25 battery in my Piper Arrow III (PA28R-201T). I
recently had a situation where I ran out of juice after 4 attempted
starts. While I am sure that I can improve my starting technique (I am
a newbie for this particular plane), I would like to have a bit more
power in my battery,...

Repairing Plastic by
Jay Honeck
The faceplate on my Narco CP-136 Audio Panel was broken off (and glued back
together) before I bought the plane. The left side of the faceplate, where 2
retaining screws attach it to the metal chassis, had been glued at least

A&Ps out there,...

suggestions as to why? The gross weight is the same. Props slightly
different.

Front louvers for Cherokee/Archer overhead vents? by
Bob Chilcoat
The louvers in the overhead vents in our '74 Archer are so badly beat up
that they no longer work. These seem to be impossible to get. I can find
replacements for the rear overhead vent louvers (longer and narrower than
the front pair) in Aircraft Spruce and Wicks, but no one offers anything...

Luscombe 8E by
Brendan Grace
I'm looking into buying an 8 E and wonder if anyone who owns/rents one has
any insights they could share. Things good or bad. How hard is it to stay
current with such a short coupled tail dragger? Instruments that can be
added to bring it to IFR? Thanks.
