I am considering moving to Florida, and I am wondering about the tax implications. I am currently in NY, and there is a high sales tax on used planes, but after that, no yearly taxes. I have owned the plane long enough that Florida won't be charging a sale/use tax. I was wondering if they have...

Twice in 2 days I've filed VFR flight plans only to have FSS unable to find them when I called on radio after takeoff. One was filed through Duats at 9PM for noon next day (and left at noon). The other was filed with a briefer at Terre Haute at 10PM for 8AM next day (and left on time). In both...

I recently sold our airplane using a broker to represent us as sellers. Things seemed to be OK, a few rough spots, and I would like to have gotten a little better offer, but we negotiated with a buyer through the broker and agreed to a sale. Paperwork for the sale then proceeded OK and I flew...

I it just me, or does it seem like since Lockheed took over the FSS the briefings have gone from relatively objective to overly conservative? It used to be that you could talk with a briefer and they'd give you the facts and let you make your own decision. Maybe with a "VFR not recommended,...

Hi Folks... Any direction on where I can find a used Mooney muffler? 1966 M20E. Thanks, -dr

Can they blame that one on GA planes?

OK so I've had the Bonanza about a month now, and I'm absolutely in love with the speed and comfort of this plane. I really want to go up to Canada to visit some relatives, but I dont yet have the permanent FAA registration, and the temporary registration has a big "NOT VALID IF OPERATED OUTSIDE...

http://www.whiteindustries.com/ White Industries lists engines with flange runout. What does flange runout tell about the engine? It seems some prop strike engines have a larger flange runout reading than others, and the larger the flange runout, the lower the price. Why? Thanks.

I would like to make my 1960 Cessna 172A IFR. Currently, I have only venturi vacuum. My A & P stated that as there is no STC for a vacuum pump intall, I need a form 337 field approval...I think it is form 337, I could be wrong on that. Does anyone have information relating to STC's and field...

Construction is in progress for 16 new "T" hangars at 4R4 in Fairhope. After 6 years on the waiting list, I'm guaranteed to get one if I want it. Because of long lead times for structural components--particularly steel structural members--completion is not expected until December. Rent will be...

My Beech Sundowner sustained some hail damage a few weeks ago. About 15 planes on the ramp (IJD) were hit. I have a fist sized hole in one wingtip and all the control surfaces are dimpled. There's a few on the wing tops and fuse top, but you really have to look in the right light to see them. ...

There is a chance that I may be relocating to the Spokane, WA area sometime in the next year. Can somebody give me the low-down on the hangar rental situation there? After a decade of aircraft ownership, I've learned to get on hangar wait list as soon as there is a hint that I may be...

I believe this fellow is back on the east coast somewhere. If anybody knows him, would you please have him get in touch with me by email at All the addys I have for him are 404. Jim

We're planning to fly into West Yellowstone airport (WYS) in a Grumman AA-5 Traveler with stock engine. The landing and takeoff will be about 200lb under gross and we plan to take off in early morning. Densitiy altitude is of course a major concern. Has anyone flown to that airport in similar...

Hi! I just started looking at the Piper Lance. It looks nice performance wise (both Turbo and non turbo model) and it looks like a more natural next step for someone like me owning an old Arrow with the retracts than the Cherokee 6's. Anyone got any pros or cons regarding this model? How does...

Anyone install one of the PS Engineering PMA8000B Audio panels? I am thinking of putting this in my plane and would like to hear any comments on those with experience with the unit or similar units. This one is unique in that the designer had a brain. He put an 1/8 inch cell/audio jack in the...
