I have a PA28-180. Whenever the winds allow, I like to fly at high altitudes. On my last few flights, I have noticed that the VSI tends to show a slight descent when I am at high altitude. The altimeter will stay constant/steady (as does my Mode C readout). The VSI does not exhibit this...

I just had an email from a feller that used my Oshkosh frequency list and he said: 133.85 and 126.6 both seem to be used by the Warbirds Airboss. Those will let you know when explosions are coming. If anybody has any more updates, I'm ready to take them and refresh the list.

Hello I'm looking for real-world data on full-rich, full-throttle takeoff power fuel flow for Lycoming O-360 engines. I have a C-172K conversion (Lyc O-360-A1A, Hartzell c/s prop and PowerFlow tuned exhaust). The POH supplementals for the conversion are a bit terse, but indicate that takeoff fuel...

Does anybody know where is the best price for buying this new expensive ELT 406 MHz? Our country request to install this ELT. Thank in advance Zoran

Yes, I want to talk on my cell phone, listen to Flight Watch and fiddle with the sectionals all at once! Well, maybe one at a time. I've seen ads for these guys with prices ranging from $19.95 to $170. Anyone have any experience with these and/or a recommendation? Thanks. Alan Bloom

If a plane (C172S) has 1600 TT but is at 250 hrs SMOH on an original engine that's spec'd for 2000hrs TBO, does this mean that the engine went in for overhaul prematurely? For what possible reason and how would I find out?

On my first flight in the Aztec with a fellow pilot who was doing the flying, he stated to lean using the EGT (a recently installed Electronics International digital single probe device)to circa 1300 and no higher than 1350. The aircraft does not have a CHT. I am totally new to operating larger...

Is there anyone out there who is running on or has tried radial GA tires? My question is in regard to rolling friction compared to conventional ply. Notice any difference in take off roll, particularly on rough fields? How about ground handling on landings? Jim

Howdy! I think the Helio Courier is just about the best back country airplane I've ever heard of but there are so few of them and the company seems to be taking it's sweet time getting them back into production. Is there anything out there that even compares to the Courier's specs and...

Jim, The bay are fog cycle is going to dictate an LHM departure Friday morning. Hehe, you won't be an hour ahead of me out of the blocks after all! :-) We'll probably be wheels-up by 7:00 or so. Will monitor 122.75 and periodically broadcast to see where you're at. Check your six! (oh, wait,...

Can anybody help me diagnose this problem? Just bought my new (to me) 1978 Mooney 201, flew it back from Kansas City to Atlanta, no problem. Flew to Richmond, VA - again no problem. Leaving RIC for Atlanta, the low voltage light started flashing. Didn't want to carry on IFR so stopped into...

Hello everyone, I finally installed an EDM700 on my '68 235C. What a big change in the way I operate now. Can I get some feedback from you O-540 drivers on what you have seen as "normal" in EGT & CHT? I am specifically interested in knowing about those at your run-up, on climb out, at cruise, and...

I'm considering a 1977 Cessna 150 M for sale. Owner's asking $29,975 with the following description: "EXCELLENT Condition. 3600TT, 1370 SMOH Mattituck Chrome. Paint: 7 Interior: 8. Michel MX300 Nav/Comm. PS Engineering PM 501 Intercom. Skyroof. New glass all-around. Wheel pants. Like new tires....

Saw a Helio today. Bigger than a Courier with a turbine engine. Same setup otherwise. Pilot said it was one of two flying. It is a certified aircraft?

Just tanked up at Hilton Head SC. They charged me $3.85 per gallon of 100LL, and then added on a 5% "fuel tax". Works out to $4.04 per gallon. Ouch, a new high. Now that I am back home, I am going to top off with mogas... $2.10 seems cheap now.

Anybody want to tell me why I shouldn't do it? Actually I'd welcome hearing about what anyone at Oshkosh has to say about what they see and hear. I can't wait, Christmas in August - Cheap ******* on 'roids (and with a bill)

I'm looking at pics from OSH. Bunch of P -51s, T-28s. Are these typically owned by an individual or a club? - MIke

This is actually a split off from the "Rotating Injectors Among Cylinders" thread. I prefer not to distract that thread any. I must say that I find the evidence presented in support on LOP to be uncompelling. Although it is certainly appealing at the gut level, it is a far cry from scientific...
