Does anyone out there have first-hand experience with the Castleberry electric attitude indicator, which is sold through Sporty's? The price sure seems right... Thanks, Mike

I have an old TRT-250 transponder maintenance manual, for the ORIGINAL analog TRT-250 (not the 250D digital version). This transponder is no longer supported by Free Flight Systems and I suspect few shops take them in for repair, as some of the parts are simply not available (most importantly,...

Well, I finally got my plane to another place to get my .411 and 413 pitot static / transponder check, and it went from bad to worse..... First person inspecting said everything was fine except for the VSI not being hooked into the static system. I take it to the new place (where I had it done 2...

In CNX80 User Newsletter number 1 at http://www.garmin.com/manuals/GNS480_GNS480_CNX80_Newsletter_1st_Edition.pdf on page 5, the author refers to "... a 'happy-box' that accepts the roll steering output commands from the CNX80 and turns them into voltage outputs that mimic the inputs from the...

I could barely escape. What can I do when I meet the Red Baron again?

I am considering installing an air-oil separator in my 172H (Cont O-300d). I have spoken with Airwolf who say theirs will work well and is ALMOST STC'd but they "will provide the required paperwork to make it legal until the STC comes thru" (whatever that means). I also spoke with Aircraft Spruce...

For those of you who may find a need for this (which probably won't be too many of you), I put my copy of a KR-20 marker beacon receiver install and op manual (with pinouts, that's why I put it up), on the site. You can download a small PDF file at http://www.bd5.com/kr-20.pdf Juan

I've seen quite a few airplane web pages over the years. I have to say, this Mooney (M-18) Mite site is one of the better ones I've seen. This site does many, many, many things right, IMHO. One very, very minor nit is ...the (very good) Photos/History page is one level down, in the Articles link....

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone can recommend an insurance company for my new Diamond Star. I am based in New Jersey. This would be a joint policy with my instructor (I don't have my ticket yet). I have heard that Avemco is overpriced, and I already submitted a quote request to Falcon. Any...

Looking for thoughts out there... If I have an IFR-certified GPS (terminal, not just enroute), is there any reason to keep a DME or ADF in the panel? (Other than being able to listen to am radio or tracking "non-offical" navaids - e.g., am radio stations!) TIA, - Don History does not long...

Hello, the wife tossed out all of my old (and not so old)airplane mags, does anyone have a jan 2003 plane & pilot? I'm mainly interested in the mooney mustang article pg 46-52 if you could scan and e-mail it to me. Thanks, Dave

Hi, I´m looking for advice on mounting wheel fairings to a 1973 C150. Is there anything that I have to consider aside from having the right mounting plates ? Thanks !

I have an old Airmap 5000. It stores the data on a PCI card that slides into the unit. My database is now 3 years old. Lowrance stopped providing data about 4 years ago, and a year ago Jeppson dropped support. A web search didn't reveal anybody else selling databases. Now, that data is on the...

Friday on the takeoff roll from Minden, NV (MEV), the oil door decides it's time to bail out. The latch has been a problem lately and the whole door assembly had an appointment with my brother and his riveting tools for a hinge and striker plate replacement. So, a co-worker and I have just filled...

Every day these noisy, small private planes from Palo Alto airport destroy my living space. They fly too low, and this causes their low frequency motor noise to enter my home and drive me crazy. Especially on weekend days, there is either one plane entering or leaving my airsapce, so there is a...

While cleaning out a machine storage building we've discovered several pallets of mil spec bolts and steel stop nuts. They are obviously old aircraft military surplus, they are wrapped and boxed like only the military would require. Most are cad plated, either gold or silver. The bolts have head...
