Have an unusual problem with a new radio, an ICOM panel mount. Nothing wrong with the radio, but I'm getting a squelch/static noise at certain times. It is worse when both mags are on and when the engine goes from about 2200 rpm down to idle. It is less on one mag and practically non-existent on...

Hi, I've got one question. Is it possible to check what is the serial number of an engine if the engine data plate is suspected not to be a true one ?

I'm just wondering if anybody is currently logging hours towards the A&P Cert. The question of how many hours are required to meet the 18 month A or P experience, or the 30 months experience for the combined A&P, has been asked before. But here in the real world, how are you approaching the...

Ronnie, Kyler and other Aztec owners, if you are interested in the STC to modify your lower engine cowls, keep reading. The mod cuts the bottom cowl in front of the air box, then installs a row of cam locks for easy cowl removal. No more lying on your back with feet and arms extended trying...

I have 43.13 and CAA 18 and the EAA book on welding. (I'm using OxyAcy). They talk about how to do various splices and patches. However, they seem to be missing some of the practical aspects. I"m taking apart a tailfeather for a taildragger that has considerable rust. Some members are so rusted...

FYI: I am helping a 210 owner install a FlightCom 403 stereo panel-mounted intercom.
