Oil change. by
Tony Cox
I changed the oil in my O470R this weekend. 24.5 tach hours
and 4 months from the last oil change. I use AeroShell 100W+,
which is a 50 weight ashless oil (the one with the gold coloured
label).

coverage. So far it is:
Phoenix $805
AIG $920

Any suggestions on another quote that...

What to look for - bringing an aircraft back to life by
Louis L. Perley III

was the co-owner of a 1965 Piper Aztec, due to various conflicts in the
partnership, the plane has not flown in two and a half years (approx.) most
of this time it has been in a heated hangar, but has been out in the...

t-hangar and ice by
Bob Noel
In preparation for winter, I have a question.
the situation: T-hangar with bi-fold doors. Run-off from the roof
collects in front of the hangar door (because the tarmac doesn't
slope away from the hangar - in fact there is a slight dip in
front of the hangar). In the winter, water collects and...

CFI logging requirement by
[email protected]
I've got a question regarding CFI's logging instruction time that I can't seem
to find in the FAR's. Basically, what constitutes "instruction" for a CFI of a rated
pilot? Aside from primary training or non-category/class rated pilots, the CFI can
provide simply instruction while flying. Here's...

I Want My Own Bird by
Yeah_right
I really want to make a good decision on this so, I'm giving myself plenty
of time, two years, to get my ducks lined up. I've want either an Archer or
an Arrow with an IFR package.
I've started looking at and pricing hanger space at selected airports in the
Houston area where it'll be based. ...

Amphibian/floatplane insurance? by
C Kingsbury
Howdy,
Curious as to what people are paying to insure waterbirds- I'm a low-time
PPL-ASEL/S-IR and would like to someday get to use that "Sea" rating a
little more often. As it is now I do have the opportunity to build some solo
time in a 172 floatplane up in Maine but that's a 4-hour drive from...

what a trip...what a plane! (long) by
The Weiss Family
I just got back last night from picking up my first plane.
It's a Beech Super III, A23-24.
I think planes are like kids: mine is better looking, smarter, etc...
Anyone else feel that way ;-)
I flew down to Dallas from Minden, NV on Friday.
On Friday evening when I got there, the weather was nice,...

They were recovered last year professionally, and according to an A&P

General purpose cleaner/degreaser? by
Jim Burns
What do you use on your plane's exterior as a general purpose spray
cleaner/degreaser for quick and easy cleaning of greasy finger prints and
oil drips, drops, and spots? I don't want to use anything that will hurt
the paint, aluminum, or rubber.
Thanks again,
Jim

Tachometer or Tach Cable by

I've got a problem that seems to be cold-weather related, and I'm trying
to determine whether it is more likely the tachometer or the tach cable.
Happened a couple of times last spring, and once last week when we had
a cold snap in Michigan.
On the ground, I hear what sounds like an intermittant...

I had a "mike stuck open" problem on my 1977 Piper Archer.
The PTT switch tests out fine and seems that the KMA20 audio panel is the
culprit.
I worked all the front panel switches many times and the problem has gone
away for the moment.
