Hi, I have lit my entire panel, via a combination of "nu-lites" and instrument replacements of instruments that were internally lit. I am quite happy with the result, but I still have dark fuel, oil pressure and temp gages, and the ammeter on my Cessna 172N. I have searched the web quite a bit, I...

Why would a cold engine drip oil out of the breather? If you're bored or have any answers... read on. Lycoming IO-540 C4B5 Like some of the other owners in the group, we've had a mystery oil leak on one of our engines. Nothing severe, not enough to show up as "missing" on the dip stick. ...

Found this on JA Air Center's website the other day: http://shorterlink.com/?R7L145 This solves a problem we(my brother and I) have encountered in our 67 Skyhawk. We were thinking about fabricating some type of panel mount for our Garmin GPSMap 296 but just couldn't come up with a good...

The FAA has been nagging me repeatedly to fill out their aircraft owner's survey. Does anyone have a strong opinion either way as to why I should or should not do it?

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...

The ADF in our Cessna 172 isn't working right. Yes, we can receive the audio but the indicator only swings through 180 degrees on the indicator (from 180 to 360) and doesn't point in the direction of the transmitter. We tried repalcing the indicator with no improvement. Can someone...

Anybody know of a shop in the New England region that has experience installing these indicators? Our usual local shop hasn't and evidently there's a bit of learning curve. Thanks. Dave Reinhart

My son Austin soloed last Monday 7/7/03. On his own; His money, his idea; Finish up stuff. A single 172 missed the microburst onslaught at San Marcos. His first ride was at 5 in a J3 with his uncle who still has that bird. He flew my 172, N739CD, Lawton OK to Austin TX at 14 years old. All bets...

Problem grows out of a six month old RG battery that won't hold a charge for two weeks. Bought a plug and Jump from Aircraft Spruce. Neato idea; I don't have to remove the cowl. I was going to use it to trickle charge the battery. Trouble is, when I plug in the Plug and Jump, it powers the panel. I...

With the current depressed market for twins, it is interesting to compare something like an SR22 or C210 to a Cessna 310. You can afford a lot of gas, insurance, and reserve for overhauls; with a $100K+ savings on the initial purchase price. Also, I'd be surprised if there is much more depreciation...

Hello, I've been reading news on flying for quite a while and these seems to be the most well-informed groups (the googles)writer on the net. I would therefore like to have your personnal opinion on a question. I live in Northern Quebec (Yes, I'm french speaking so forgive the spelling mistakes)...

I've had an opportunity recently to purchase a Piper PA28-140- absolute creme puff cosmetically... but the problem (and reason for the good cosmetic condition) is that the plane has been sitting in an enironmentally stable (dry, 50-80 degree ambient temperature) for almost a decade now. (For those...
