Hi, I have a neighbor who's got a McCauley twin blade propeller in his basement. The thing is in fairly good condition and he was wondering if it is worth anything. Can anyone help? Thanks for the help! Marcel

Perhaps someone here can suggest where to start looking for this problem: Ocassionally, the electric trim on my '78 Mooney 201 will stop working for "nose up". When I press the button and push forward the trim will run nose down, buy the other way - nothing. While I have the button pressed, the...

I'm thinking about getting into an airplane partnership (or co-ownership) and have a few questions. When people say that you can't really save money with ownership over renting, does that include partnerships as well? I would think that with a 4-way partnership, the operating costs would be...

I'm debating the purchase of a plane and I was wondering what the current rates are that anyone has gotten for financing on an aircraft for a loan amount of $50-60K for either a 5, 7, or 10 year term. I know that AOPA can quote this, and I'll be calling them tomorrow during business hours. However...

I'm beginning the process of looking for my own plane and have heard lots of advice. Most have advised against getting something like a Cherokee 140 and opt instead for something like a Cessna 172 or a Cherokee 180. Now, most 172 N's that I've flown have a 160 HP engine. It is my understanding...

Doug posted this over in RAP. I figured it might do some good in this group too. ------------------------------------- I've been working on organizing a few relief flights and have learned some things. In spite of AOPA tell GA to stay out of the way, there is a big need for transporting people...

Hey all... My Cherokee is almost done with the annual, but in the 75 hours since it was last inspected, the alternator bracket has cracked. It's complicated by the fact that the plane was originally a PA28-140, but now has a Lycoming O-360-A3A. So, the parts book doesn't necessary literally apply....

I located a plane I'd like to buy; unfortunately somewhere along the way the FAA didn't get some paperwork and the current owner didn't get clear title. Is there anything I can do to 'buy' the a/c and start working on it, or do I have to sit on my hands? - Mike

Well, having to do a bunch of cross country flying moving grandchildren around, 20 hours over two weeks, means I had to put in 100LL at whatever backwater airport I happened to be at, instead of the cheap nasty mogas I usually burn... Of course, starting up on a remote airstrip mean't finding a...

I've been browsing various aircraft for ownership and cant decide. It must easily carry 2 people with some baggage at least 600km at the minimum cost. IFR is preferable. Engine OH costs should be minimal. Speed/looks/noise are non-issues. Must be all-metal however. I've seen the zenith kit...

Hey Everyone, I just purchased one of the famed Sporty's Air-Scan V scanners. Needless to say, I love it. However, there's one quirk. I live in the boondocks of upstate New York, so the reception isn't all that good. Now, the reason why I posted is because I'm wondering if anyone out there has...

I've been researching how to replace an old AC Spark Plug CHT probe in our Aztec. AC doesn't make them anymore and the replacement Rochester brand probe operates at a different resistance range requiring the gauge to be removed, shipped out and recalibrated. Not a fun proposition. Rumor, and a...

I am flying into CYUL (Montreal, QC Canada) on Sunday 9/4 from the USA. I have a couple of questions: 1) How GA friendly are they with landing fees, etc.? I don't plan on buying fuel. 2) Is customs available 24/7 or do I have to pay an extra fee since this is a holiday weekend and a Sunday?

So I'm still looking at buying a Turbo Lance. I finally find one I really like only to find out that the empty weight is over 2400lbs. The book lists the Turbo Lance at just under 2100lbs. The panel is pretty much standard plus a Garmin 530 with a few other mods, but I can't understand where the...

Where can I get a wiring diagram for a Telex TC200 Intercom. I purchased a plane with this intercom installed and have a wiring problem. Thanks much Paul N1431A
