Whenever someone replaces an existing transponder with a different brand or model, is all that will be needed paperwork-wise just a logbook entry, W&B update and a new 24-month transponder certification test done? Or is this treated really obtusely and require approval of a 337 to describe the...

I am looking into purchasing my own plane... I think that I am pretty aware of the costs (as much as a non-owner can be). I would like to hear from those of you who have had a good experience with a plane purchase. I have the bad experience posts also. My guess is that the good will outweigh the...

What would be some ways to get in touch with someone when looking for a partner to share in the joys (and sorrows) of aircraft ownership? I am going to try placing flyers at the local FBO's.

I just bought a Helio Courier and the fuel guages (actually one guage with a four position switch) don't work very well. Since different tanks seem to work differently I assume that the problem is in the sender or the wiring. Where should I start? does anybody know what the resistance range...
