Hi all, I got this from a Bonanza website. This could have a great impact on general aviation maintenance. Please read it and comment if you have valued...

How long can an aircraft sit unused before the fuel gums up and contaminates the fuel system? For instance, if I leave a motorcycle sit too long without a fuel stabilizer added to the gas, the gas goes bad after a few months and gums up the carbs. The entire fuel system is affected after a while....

I have a 1966 Cherokee 180 with fixed pitch prop. I have noticed some oil streaks on the back plate of the prop spinner, apparently seeping out between the prop and flywheel. Anyone have an expereince with this? Is there a plug in the front the hollow (I assume) crankshaft that could be leaking? Is...

Does anybody know a company that makes nose protectors for twins to protect them from getting beat up by ice slung against the nose by the props? I've seen rubber strips (ugly) and heard of fiberglass and aluminum panels that can be painted, but I can't find a thing on the web. I see the AOPA...

I'm considering adding a second (backup) electric AI. The primary AI is vacuum driven so is the DG. Two questions: 1. Does adding a backup electric AI require an 337? 2. Does the electric AI needs to be TSO'ed? The plane will be used strictly for part 91 operations. Thanks! -M

Anyone know what it should cost to get a cs three blade prop inspected. Last overhaul in 1989, hours since 5.9 (yes 5.9). Aircraft stored majority of time in a hangar in a non-corrosive climate. No damage on props, paint still looks fresh (even on leading edge). What are the rules on prop...

Tell him to try it outside the hangar. ;-)) Jim Burns wrote: A friend of mine has a 12v Garmin 430 that simply does not pick up the satellites. It worked fine about 3 weeks ago (the last time he flew) but now it fails to find any satellite signals. One avionics tech said that it had...

I'm getting really tired really fast of paying $3.30/gal for AvGas, I'm considering buying the STC to use MoGas in my aircraft. Does anyone have the STC and use auto gas. Do you have any comments, warnings or anything else on the subjuct. Thanks in advance. Bruce McFadden ...

Does anyone know if there is an STC for use of auto fuel in a PA32-260. I've been unable to find one. At $3.30/gal for avgas at KBHM I've got to stop the bleeding a bit. Thanks in advance. Bruce McFadden Birmingham, AL PA32-260 N5594J

Someone else on this list just gave me the idea of asking. I'm trying to find a nice set of seats for the front of my Cherokee 180. It currently has the original low-back, not-very-adjustable seats. They only adjust front and back. I'd like to find some newer model seats -- the ones that have...

Hi all, I'm wanting a front two-piece cowl for a 206. Free! A bent and twisted version very good. It's for a test on cooling. I need to cut it up so as to test if extra air will drop the temps significantly. ( forever have overheating CHT's in paradrop ops) I'll pay postage of course. Nige, South...

You might take a look at http://www.ScienceOxygen.com/aviation204.html It does not sell Helicopter there, but it collects some links about Helicopter so that you could start looking for information from there.

There has been much discussion about Home Depot fuel valves, homebrew wingtips, and the like. There has been much discussion about what is and what is not allowed by the regulations. Finally, somebody at the highest echelons of the FAA in Washington is trying to put some sense back in the...

Well, Fat Albert finally got liberated yesterday, just 6 days shy of two months in solitary at the mechanic's shop... The 'third times the charm' carburetor works like a champ... It didn't dump fuel all over the ramp... It didn't run lean on takeoff... It did shut down the engine when the mixture...

Question. Does having a private pilot single enging land qualify to get you a sport pilot ticket? Seems like it should but I have never read so. What do we have to do to get that ticket. As I get older and think of giving up the Archer, (and before losing my medical for some reason) the Sport...

I recently got back into flying after a 12 year layoff. I am current, and flying high-performance singles (182). I have around 80 hours in high-performance planes, including retracts. I am currently building time to improve my skills and getting ready to take the next step. I am finally in a...

After nearly a year away from the newsgroups, I am returning to seek the wisdom and advice from the NG. After 7 years and 670 hours later, I have sold my 1958 Cessna 310B and am looking for another plane. Although I loved flying the 310, I could no longer tolerate the absence of deice equipment and...
