PA28 Battery replacement by
[email protected]
Hey all. I'm pretty certain I've convinced myself that my "bad starter"
and/or bad ring gear are actually my battery going bad. With the skytec starter, it
makes sense that at high-load, the voltage could drop enough so the starter solenoid
cannot hold the gear engaged to the flywheel. It pops...

Working with plexiglass in winter by
Ben Jackson
I'd like to replace my side windows this winter. Will working with
plexiglass be substantially harder with temps in the 30-40F range?
Will the adhesives cure or will I need to heat the hangar?

wiping snow off by
[email protected]
For a standard trainer type airplane does anyone (who owns one not used
for training) go out to the airport when not flying just to wipe the
snow off? Does the weight of snow and/or ice damage surfaces, etc?

CFI in IMC with Student by
Roy Page
I am sure I can count on this newsgroup to give this question their best !
Would it be legal for a CFI to act as PIC from the right seat
with a student in IMC ?
In my opinion regardless of the legality, it would be less than sensible,
what say the group ?

Garmin data card needed by
Marty from Florida
Hey all,
Does anyone have a spare Garmin data card for the GPSMAP 295? If so, I'd
like to purchase it if available. I believe it's the same card that works
with the Garmin 176, 276, all GPSMAP series and some Street Pilot models.
Let me know.

Engine preheater on ebay?? by
skym
There's a portable engine preheater on ebay motors for $129. It looks
like an ok unit but I'm asking for any of the collective wisdom on pros
or cons of a unit like this. There's also one on Sportys for $399.
Any opinions on either or a comparison?

oil and length of time for break-in by
Matt
Hi everyone. I have been running straight SAE 40 mineral oil since I had a
cylinder replaced. That was about 15 hours ago. My A&P says that I should
think about switching to AD now. The general wisdom has been that switching
to AD after break-in should be done after 25 to 50 hours.
Since only...

Anybody installed a JPI analyzer recently? by
Paul kgyy
There was quite a lot of heat generated a while back about JPI's
decision to make their system data proprietary, and I'm curious now how
this is working out in practice.
I still have the old EDM700 and am still able to get my data in csv
format, which I like.

De-icing by
Kobra
Flyers,
I went to fly on Thursday and low and behold my baby was covered with a half
inch of snow and ice. I could brush off the top 1/4 inch of snow, but the
bottom 1/4 inch was ice that was welded to the airframe.
I remembered that an instructor told me back in my primary training, that

What would you pay? by
Kobra
Hangar tenents,
Hypothetical situation: You're in a hangar. There are no more hangars for
100 miles. There is a waiting list for a hangar just as long. There are
plenty of tie-downs for a poultry 70.00 per month. Just out of curiosity

GPS Antenna by

A different lamp base by
Blanche Cohen
Had to replace the cast iron/steel/whatever cylinder (Piper part 65319)
on my cherokee a couple years ago because of a crack (which later was
an AD, but my A&P caught it early). The shop presented it to me with
the comment "it'll make a *great* lamp base!".
Well, not for me. I don't think any of...

Insurance Woes by

Reading in this news group gives me a worry.
The problem is the suggested denial of any responsibility by the
insurance company if ANYTHING can be found to be non STPed, PMAed, or

I'm sure that a fine toothed comb going over my 79...
