How many hours are required for twin insurance by
Kevin Chandler
Greeting to All,
I am investigating the possibility of purchasing my own plane in the next 12
months. With the soft prices on twin airplanes, they are starting to look a
little more appealing to me than a big single. I have spent a lot of time
investigating costs associated with maintenance so I...

Anyone know how to update an old Loran database? by
Tom Jackson
I have looked around on the 'net, and cannot find any reference to being
able to update an old Apollo loran database (like can be done with the
modern GPS units.)
I have an Apollo 604, with the latest update (1999, I think.)
It seems to me, that there must be some tech-wizards out there who...

One thing leads to another... by
Jay Honeck
Did you ever notice that fixing one thing often seem to break something else
in the old airplanes most of us fly?
We just had our new Directional Gyro installed today (just six weeks after
our Attitude Indicator failed), and lo and behold, our autopilot works
again! The gyros erect immediately,...

Autopilot Question by
Jay Honeck
We have the Piper Autocontrol IIIB in our '74 Pathfinder. It has worked
fairly well since Day One, failing only when our vacuum instruments each
went Tango Uniform, in the space of six weeks.
However, the "heading bug" on our DG has always off by about 10 degrees. If
we wanted to fly 180...

PS Engineering by
Hankal
So many times we hear of poor service from some our supplies.
This is the time to tell about excellent service and immediate turn around.
My problem was with my intercom from PS Engineering. I had a constant noise in
my headset. After one phone call and an email I sent the unit to PS Engineering

Airshares SR-20 by
Guy Elden Jr.
After last week's great flight down to Atlanta and back to NJ, I've begun to
seriously investigate upgrading "my" aircraft to an SR-20. By "my" I mean
that I currently rent, and for long distance flights meant more for vacation
like the one to Atlanta, I rent a 172SP. I'm very happy with the planes...

Sundowner Wing Flaps by
A Lieberman
..... dont retract "on their own".
Beech Sundowner.
I will be talking to my A&P tomorrow, but just curious if anybody knows
whether I am talking major expense or something simple like a spring
that pulls the flaps up that came loose in the innards of the wings.
A gentle nudge on the outside and...

Turn and Bank - RC Allen vs Electrical Gyro Corp by
Kevin Horton
I need to buy a 3 1/8 inch electric turn and bank for the RV-8 I'm
building. Aircraft Spruce sells two, and I'm wondering whether there is
any reason to pick one over the other, other than the small price
difference.
Does any one have opinions on the performance and reliability of the RC

Light Twins. How soft??? by
Montblack
I keep hearing "the market for Light Twins is soft."
Anyone have any tales to tell?
Are used Light Twins not selling these days, or are they selling for
what some would consider "bargain" prices, or both?
Did the economy's shake-up knock quite a few people out of the Twin
tree - people who were...

A/C Retrofit for Cherokee Six by
John Pelchat
Does anyone have information regarding the feasibility of retrofitting
air-conditioning into a Piper Cherokee, possibly a 6/260? I live in
the southeast and would be flying toward Florida where heat and
humidity are a real challenge much of the year. A/C is one of things
that my wife would consider...

Battery Chargers by
Mike Rapoport
I have recently converted from NiCad to lead acid batteries which are supped
to have a life of 2-3 yrs. The batteries cost about $1500 for the pair and

Intercom: IntelliVox vs. ENRI by

My current intercom is a Pilot PA 400 4-place portable. I have used it for the
last 7 years and it works well for its price. It works with all mine and my
friend's headsets, has good volume. Once the squelch is adjusted, it does not
clip the first syllable from every word. There is some very...
