I apologize if this gets posted twice but... I am pursuing a purchase of a SenecaII, and though my partner and I have good credit and appreciable assets, we were turned down by MBNA/AOPA. Honestly I felt that the loan officer didn't have much interest in my business and generally seemed apathetic...

Have you ever wondered why they sometimes call the F-16 a "Lawndart" ? Well, the answer is in the video that we have just uploaded on our weekly aviation mishaps, accidents and crases webpage: www.dappa.nl/crash.htm. The pilot ejected safely (seen on video), and only some local worms suffered from...

I recently purchased a 1973 Cherokee Charger. So far, I am really enjoying the aircraft, but I have a question that has gone unanswered. There is no mention of it in the POH or the information manual that I have. Beneath the throttle quadrant but above the fuel selector (on the right side), there...

I'm looking into an early '60's vintage 182. I was wondering what people had for real world numbers on cruise speed and fuel burn. And if anyone has any advice on particulars to look for during a pre-buy or anything else, that would be helpful also. Thanks! Chris

I want to remove the KMA20, Dual HX170B's and KT76 from their trays so that I can easily clean up all the knobs faceplates etc. What special tools do I need to remove them ? And ... Where can I purchase ? Thanks in advance for the good response I know I will get. Roy Page 28291 Misty Morning Lane

L39 for sale!!! Anyone interested? Erik Wertheim

G'day from Australia Help please. A friend of mine has "shortened" his Sensenich 74 x 50 propeller and is in need of another. Could anyone suggest as to where we could look for one.

It seems as though the shut-off valve for the heater system is only controlling the passenger-side heat duct on the floor of my '74 Warrior. The pilot's side is hot to the touch, whereas the passenger side is relatively cool to the touch. I can shut the small pilot-side floor vent so the hot air...

On the new Cessna 172's, Cessna uses a Black mat type carpeting in the front, then it goes to actual carpet in the back. I'm looking for a source for the black mat in the front to do the floor in a Mooney. Anyone know what they use or where I might get some? I believe it's a polypropylene type...

All, I am about to purchase an aircraft that currently resides in CA. I am planning to fly it back to NY and register it in New York. I understand that there is a 4% sales tax on aircraft registered in New York, due at the time of purchase. Is anyone aware of any interesting loopholes to this...

Great value if your looking for an aircraft cover. They made a custom cover of high quality for my warrior with the N# for 150 bucks. Great customer service and prompt shipment. http://www.airplane-covers.com/

We are currently selling chrome like propeller blades, but will continue to have a vast array of items including,...

Hi group, Seems to be a lot of experience out on this list, so I thought I might ask a question. I have a Cherokee 180 that is IFR cert, but both A.I. and Turn Coordinator are vacuum driven. With both driven by vacuum, a pump or engine failure in IMC will leave you guessing if you're right side...

Hey all... finally got around to taking a trip in my plane this weekend (busy with school stuff). The transponder appears to be weak and the controllers were none-too-pleased without seeing a squawk, IFR, running next to a TFR... :) They had a tough time receiving my squawk, especially when far...

What is the performance details for 150hp conversion C152. How does it compare with PA18-150? thanks, Arthur

Hi I currently own a 172H and fly approx 150 hours per year. Now considering a 180hp Comanche. Anyone have any idea how much extra per year I should expect it to cost (excluding fuel - that one's easy - just over 1gph extra) Thanks Tony

I don't think anyone has commented about this on Usenet yet (or at least Google doesn't have it) so I'll put the question out there. Can anyone confirm that the USB Skybound datawriter is faster than the PCMCIA Skybound II? I am contemplating getting it for the slight convenience factor of using my...

I'm selling off some of my "stock" of spare parts that don't fit my Cherokee. I inherited most of them from an airport "old timer" years ago, and they've been sitting around ever since. I thought I'd give some of the newsgroup people a chance to make an offer before I Ebay them. I'll...
