Hi, I bought the aluminum tail fittings a while back and am thinking that I won't be using them. If you own a Lake you know what I mean!! New with all the paperwork. Anyone interested? Drop me an email: Brian

Hello, Can someone please direct me to some companies that make the aluminum (i think its aluminum) panels? Do you call these companies and tell them what type of plane you have and there is a standard panel size... then let them know what size holes you want? Or is this something that you take...

100 LL just jumped from $3.82 to $4.54 at our airport, and at HAF we traditionally represent the lower costs for our area (SF Bay) Where will it end? to the pessimists in the room this feels like the begning of the end for those of us who pinch our pennies to get a little air time in once...

I have a vexing problem on my 1979 Warrior. The charging system will shut down in flight at random times. The ammeter drops to 0 and the idiot light comes on. A recycling of the ALT switch may stop the problem but it may happen several more times before "settling down". There is NO pattern to...

Trying to judge which will be more expensive at annual. A newer 172R or S, or going very used, back to a 172M or N 1974-1979 era. Are there a lot more potential pitfalls and expenses that will continue to add up each year at annual for spending less up front to get an older 172? I assume parts...

I will be in Southhampton on business in June with a couple of free days, one thing I like to do when that happens is rent a plane and instructor at a local FBO for sightseeing flight. I've been able to find those types of resources easily in the U.S. with airnav.com. Is there a similar resoruce...

I did some checking around my area today (thanks www.100ll.com) about what the fuel prices are, and was surprised to learn that my home base (KTYQ) is charging $4.47 (the highest in the area), and that includes our based-on-the-field discount. That is up around $1.00 from a little over a year ago...

Hello, I'm going through the paperwork to get a US "endorsement" (for lack of a better word) on my Canadian license so that I can fly N# aircraft. I understand that I need this paperwork done to legally fly an N# airplane. Has anyone gone through this and can point me in the proper...

Mark it on your calendar: We're just two weeks away from Iowa City's annual "Big Kids Toy Show" -- our airport's big 2-day, fly-in breakfast extravaganza! We will be serving pancakes and pork sausage (fresh -- these sausages are still pigs, as I'm typing this! :-) breakfast BOTH mornings, from 7...

In the past I've seen people wondering why it was so hard to install new wing root seals on cherokees. Well, today my mechanic did the job in just about two hours. No doubt it helped that he's done it before. -- Bob Noel Looking for a sig the lawyers will hate

So for 35 years now we've been putting out our kits with two printed manuals per kit ... a "operations and maintenance" and a "construction and assembly" manual. Each of which costs us about $2 a manual. Not a big deal. I've got a wild hair that we can put out a digital CDROM set of manuals...

Hi! I have a few questions regarding twin operation. This is all just lofty dreams for me right now, but I want realistic dreams, hence the questions...:-) I am a professional bass player by trade. My instrument is BIG, meaning no way I can get it in my Arrow...:-(

Hello, Our mechanic suggested we buy a set of jack for our plane with another couple of people at the airport. Can anyone recommend or direct me to what I should be getting? We have a Twin Comanche and the other plane is Baron 55. Thanks, -dr

Hello, Can anyone recommend a good tug for a Twin Comanche? I see there are some companies out there that make them... but if anyone has their personal experience they want to share, i'd like to hear it... if you can provide a link to their website it would be even better! -dr

Good morning I was involved in a hit & run accident back on November 30th, 2005 and the following is a description of what happened, and the troubles I've faced since then getting my car fixed. Please keep in mind I'm totally disabled (not due to the accident) and therefore can not afford any...

If you own your own airplane then what I am saying below about a major airline ride does not apply! Therefore, if you are an independent plan owner or like to fly in smaller plane's, what might be a good idea is to get your hands on R.H. Tuttle Jr.'s new epic Novel, "The Masconi's", to read after...

Hi There, I'm wondering if the MX20 or other MFDs have the capability to output a signal from a line-in, like a DVD player or what have you. It would be ideal to have the RCA (the red, white, yellow) inputs on the front of your panel and just plug in an IPOD video and then watch/listen to...

Are TSO Instruments required in certificated aircraft? Altimeter, airspeed , anything..... If yes, where is this specified? I've looked in the FARs and haven't been able to find this yet. Any help would be appreciated.
