So, I sent off for new interior plastic. The pieces are not PMA'd so the dealer is telling me I need to do a 337. Reading part 43 I see preventative maint says.. (9) Refinishing decorative coating of fuselage, balloon baskets, wings tail^ M group surfaces (excluding balanced control surfaces),...

Anybody who has a DNST12 data card for a Northstar M3 Navigator who would like to part with it, please let me know. Remove the obvious letters from the email address. Thanks. Dave Reinhart

Why Are Oximeter's So Expensive? I was thinking of adding one to my flight bag but at over $200.00 I am giving it a second thought.

Warrior Windows. A few weeks ago I asked if anyone has had any experience polishing out damage to plexiglas windows caused by a sloppy painter who got paint stripper on the plastic. No one has so I will answer my own question. No, the penetration is deep enough that the remedy will be...

I'm in the market for a 4 place panel mount, stereo intercom and am looking at options. I understand installation is going to cost more than the intercom so am thinking that a prewired harness would be a good thing. Would really like to put in a PS Engineering or NAT Intermusic, but by the time I...

There is a CRANKSHAFT GEAR RETAINING BOLT AD 2004-10-14 effective June 25, 2004, which redefines "prop-strike" and states: "(e) Compliance with this AD is required as indicated before further flight if the engine experiences a propeller strike after the effective date of this AD, as defined in...

Dear Group, I am a single-engine Cessna looking for love..... I am not tied down to any other plane ... just to the tarmac. Anyone, a lovely aircraft took the tie-down across from me. She has a nice set of twin engines and an empanage that would certainly turn my rudder. The other day she winked...

Anyone know what a stock, VFR, just a radio, transponder and intercom, 1965 Supercub with 6000 TT and 200 since Airpower rebuild (but NOT zero time) engine would be worth? Considering purchase.

Greetings, Curious if anyone can comment on what the parts availability (in the US, that is) is for Gypsy engine used in Tiger Moths and Chipmunks? Is this an orphan? Any other advise sought as well about a Chipmunk specifically, but mostly curious about what parts are like. Does England or Canada...

Hello there, I am considering the purchase of a Cardinal 177A with low frame and engine times, nice gps and slaved HSI. It has had 2 accidents, one in 2003 requiring major work to everything in front of and including the firewall. I have flown the plane and it feels heavier on the landings with...

Got a general question for the group: If a used plane is for sale on the market, what effect is a prior prop strike going to have on it's resale value? I haven't found anything on any of the valuation services like Vref that talk about any kind of previous damage. I know it's all in the eye of...

I've finally located the manuals at http://www.pilotmall.com/page/1/PROD/26/17390 Mary and I own (and LOVE) the AvMap EKP-IIIC, the predecessor to the EKP-IV. We played with the IV extensively at OSH this year, and I fell in love with it. It's smaller, thinner -- yet still has a BIGGER,...

Is there a web site or has anyone done a spread sheet comparing the specifications of real 4 place aircraft? I'm talking about the standard stuff with gross weight, useful load, stall cruise speed, cabin dimensions, etc. I'm really interested in the Columbia 350, Cessna 182, Cirrus SR-20, Diamond...

Sounds like a JAA thing. I"m not aware of any requirement for original anything in the U.S. -Robert

An OT query for folks here. While discussing things that can happen between the jetways, I posited that it's a really bad to be aloft in Big Iron in a medical emergency, etc. -- based on how long it takes to get on the ground. That brings up the question of how long that time really is.... So:

Hey all. I've got a hershey-bar PA-28 that's been without wheel pants since we bought it. Looks a bit ghetto, and I'd like the speed increase available by putting some on. Awhile back, I ebayed up a set of archer pants thinking I may be able to make them work. After looking at it, it seemed...

I'm going to guess the last successful airliner without a computer was the Boeing 737 original version. And the largest sucessful airliner without a computer was the Boeing 747 original. And I believe the last successful large bomber without a computer was the B-47. Can anyone confirm or refute...
