If anyone has experience with the Reiff's HotStrip Oil Sump Heater, will appreciate any input as to its usefulness/performance. Specifically, I wonder how well (how fast) this pair of 100W heater strips can warm up a cold-soaked sump (8-qts) in an O-300 (open hangar, assume low in the 20s...

Hi All, I've acquired a Shadin Digiflo (twin) and would like to install it in my 1955 Piper Apache. My mechanic called my local FSDO, who mentioned that without an STC, the best way to proceed would be to provide the FSDO with a '337 that was approved for another installation in the same make and...

I am looking at buying one of two planes: a 1978 Mooney M20J or a 1965 Piper Commanche PA-24-260. I have test driven both and I like the handling of both. Both are about the same price. The avionics in the Mooney are slightly better. This is a tough choice. (1) Is there anyone out there that...

Hi I'm looking for a preheater for my 172. I don't have a power source near my tiedown. I don't own a generator. Because of all of the above I'm looking for a propane powered preheater but I can't find one. Any recommendations? Any reason why I shouldn't buy a propane one. Thanks

Greetings rec.aviation groups, hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! I am still in need of selling my Super Yankee, and although I have had more than 50 inquiries nobody has actually laid down the money to buy it. I truly wish I didn't need to let it go, however I must do so. The price had been...

I've been told that it is possible to load successive approaches in the flight plan page but have been un able to either figure out how to do it or find any info in the manual about it. For instance if I wanted to create a flight plan to take off at one airport, fly to a second airport then...

IMHO, it's the little things that really set off an airplane's interior. MU-2 Mike has done things like gold-plating his chrome parts, and I've seen plenty of wood-grained panels in custom planes that look terrific. Having recently had our interior completely redone in leather, we were...

My 1973 172 is getting a liitle drafty. I may replace the weatherstripping around my doors and my two windows. Does not look like a big job, just time consuming. Where can I buy the gasket material and the adhesive. Of course I would not think of replacing it with Non approved parts. Thanks Hank...
