According to AvWeb, Cessna says they are going to have a hard time producing their LSA for under $100,000. That's not going to sell well. Then again, I may be wrong!

Hi! I might be flying to Paris with my son next week. Never landed near Paris to go to town (flown past a few times) so I'm not really familiar with the airports there. Which one is the typical GA one? I need AVGAS, and it would be nice if it's easy to get to downtown Paris. Thanks for any tips!

Hi Pilots ! ever considered an aviation holiday in one of the most beautiful countries on our planet ? Just check http://www.eaglewhizz.co.za

http://www.scn.org/~bk269/gps.html This is an interesting site that explains why some pilots (seemingly mostly running Garmin-brand portable GPS units) are having trouble with losing satellite lock. So far I've not had any trouble with our new 496 (and I've never had any trouble with the Lowrance...

Our club aircraft have GNS-430s and Strikefinders, but I'm looking at adding some additional capacity. Long term, I suspect that ADS-B plus an MFD is going to be the way to go. But ADS-B coverage is a little light right now, so I'm reluctant to have members spending money today for such limited...

I passed on the trip this year. I heard that attendance numbers were way down. You guys that were there, what did you see? Bob

This is so embarrassing, I must just be getting old; I can't remember if the generator in my '61 C-172 is an A or B circuit. Worse, I forget which one is which. Does the 'A' supply controlled voltage to the field and the 'B' does a controlled "ground out" of voltage coming from the field or do I...

Hello, what year did the cessna 180 get 6 seats? Looking to occasionally carry more than 4 people out of a 1600 ft grass strip. Would a cherokee 6 be up to the task? The field is in KS, elevation 1400 ft asl, no obstructions on either end. Thanks, David

Anyone care to speculate on what fuel prices will do to the plane market over the next four or five months? As prices rise do you think this will create good opportunity for buyers? That is to say, planes placed on the market because they can't afford to pay for fuel? Greg

trying to find a manual for my radio,or someone who can walk me through getting the radio on high power,when radio is turned on it shows "low" on the screen.

Anyone try these at OSH? How to they compare to the Bose? I may be in the market for a headset... I wish the Bose had music input though! --Dan

I just read this on Guardian Unlimited: OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) - The propeller of a Navy warbird sliced into a home-built airplane on a taxiway during an airshow Sunday, killing a passenger, officials said. The victim in the home-built Van's RV was pronounced dead at the scene at Wittman Regional...

So, idiot that I am, I just took delivery of a brand new 496 on the basis that I can trade the 396 to JA Air for $1750 assuming I can round-up all the bits. The first impressions are... * The new XM antenna has the magnets removed! :) * The GPS antenna is a new format with mounting cup. * Voice...

I just got off the phone with Jay Honeck. The group that had left KIOW this morning arrived at OSH after several holds and an accident on 9/27. Rumors are that a Cherokee pilot perished in an air to ground crash. No other details. For those that are going to the Rec.Aviation.*.* party...

I've used my Garmin 296 in the airplane for several years now and love it. In the Automotive Mode, it will show major interstate highways etc but want more detail in the major cities. I would like to buy the "Auto Navigation Kit" from Garmin that contains the 128mb data card, City Navigator CD...

Flyers, If anyone is looking for a nice David Clark aviation headset I have one for sale on ebay: http://tinyurl.com/q9n2p I just upgraded to the Bose Aviation X, but it still breaks my heart to sell these. They are just as comfortable as the Bose, they provide great noise attenuation and...
