Hey, My Plane was on TV! by
Bob Chilcoat
WABC this evening in New York had a hatchet piece on the "Security" (or lack
of) at small airports in the area. Phil Boyer had a couple of seconds on
camera pointing out the billions it would cost to fence in and secure all
the small airports in the country. The reporter drove around a number...

Remote power control by
Paul Tomblin
Last month in "GA News" there was a brief mention of a system that allowed
you to turn on a power plug by calling a pager or cell phone. I was
interested in it for controlling the Tanis heater on my plane, but a
friend at work was describing needing something similar for his cottage to
turn on the...

Wayward Tach by
O. Sami Saydjari
Based on advice from a column I read on AVWEB by John Deakin, I had my
Tach checked since it was in the shop anyay. I was surprised to find
out that it was reading 150 RPM lower than the true RPM. That seems
pretty bad. I said, OK, no problem, just adjust it. No dice. I was
informed that it...

Luscombe 8E by
Brendan Grace
I'm looking into buying an 8 E and wonder if anyone who owns/rents one has
any insights they could share. Things good or bad. How hard is it to stay
current with such a short coupled tail dragger? Instruments that can be
added to bring it to IFR? Thanks.

Hearing the alternator by
Michael 182
When I turn on the alternator in my '79 TR-182 I hear a faint highpitched
squeal through the headsets. No squeal when I just run on battery. Is there
a simple way to fix this?
TIA,
Michael

Front louvers for Cherokee/Archer overhead vents? by
Bob Chilcoat
The louvers in the overhead vents in our '74 Archer are so badly beat up
that they no longer work. These seem to be impossible to get. I can find
replacements for the rear overhead vent louvers (longer and narrower than
the front pair) in Aircraft Spruce and Wicks, but no one offers anything...

The Cherokee 6-260 has a shorter book takeoff roll than the -300. Any
suggestions as to why? The gross weight is the same. Props slightly
