There must be people on the newsgroup that fly single pilot IFR on a regular basis. These people have a schedule to make and would rather not miss that schedule unless necessary. These people don't have the need to carry many passengers, but just themselves. My question is for these people...

Anyone know of any t-hanger space in or around Orlando, Florida? David

I just got the bill from the State of Ohio for the registration of my Archer, N2185B. Seems they need more money so the bill went from $12 (2003) to $100 (2004). Can't believe the % increase but it's true. What do other states charge? Is Ohio now out of line or were we underpaying before? Chuck

Had a potentially bad experience in my Archer tonight. Wife and I flew to dinner and returned to the home port about 5:20. Airport normally is open till sunset (which is 5:07 tonight) but as we taxied in, the lights in their cars went out and they came walking to my plane. I store in the big...

Does anyone have any tips or photo's of an ELT mounted in Cub? Or any links to Cub sites.. Thanks, Phil in IL ..

I currently have a 150hp Piper TriPacer that I've upgraded pretty well but I'm beginning to feel the need for a larger airplane. Not necessarily a huge step up in speed and range but more in room and stability. It's hard to fit two larger fellows into a TriPacer even if the weight isn't...

Our FBO (who are otherwise OK people) have a new policy. They will not allow one to leave one's airplane's preheater plugged in continously. Instead, one must call them ahead of time and they will plug it in for you. They charge $10 for this service. My questions are this: How long does it...

I currently own 3 early model Cessna 182's (2 182A's, 1 182B) I'm interested in having one or two of them set up to tow banners. They are currently jump planes, and I'd like to use them part time to advertise my business. Can anyone point me to a company that makes the tow hooks for the 182's, and...

I am looking at buying a F33A which is turbonormalised. Does anyone have any knowledge about the value this adds to the aircraft. I know the cost of fitting but this one was done in 1991, and it is the original turbo. How much does it add to the value of the basic aircraft? TIA Geoff
