We have a plane in our club (1978-ish C172N) that has a problem with the pilot's push to talk switch. It is mounted on the yoke handle (as if from the factory, not like an after market). When you press it gently, it works fine. If you press it too hard, the radio continues to send the carrier, but...

While checking my new Garmin 496 power/data cable, I put a scope on the NEMA DATAOut line. Just like the EI instruments, the Garmin puts out TTL (0V and 4V) logic levels instead of the normal RS232 voltage levels (-5V / -12V to +5V /+12V) Do all aircraft systems that communicate via "RS232" use...

I'm currently in the process of obtaining quotes and researching Shadin's DigiFlo-L fuel flow system. If there are any group members that have had a Shadin installed in their airplane, I'd love to hear from you. My primary reason for choosing the Shadin over other fuel flow meters/systems is that...

Hi: Looking at a PA32-260, with a IO-540 in it, 1500smoh. Prebuy reports a couple cylinders in which there is oil on plugs. Compressions are good, engine runs good. Mechanic doesn't seem too upset by it. Says that is normal for this type engine. Should I be concerned?

Hey Guys, What log book entries do I need to make when I change my own oil? Thanks, Jamie A. Landers PP-ASEL C-172-F N5586R
