The guy that owns the private strip that I fly out of got a 172 project. What a project, this guy has better luck than me though. The airframe has less than 1000 hours TT and the plane has been sitting, outside for 18 years! The body looks very good, much of the paint is actually missing but the...

Does anyone have any experience with the Maule with the Allison turbine engine ? The Maule with the Lycombing IO-540 is $170.M , where the MT7-420 is going for $470.M new. I would have to add about $75.M in options for either bird. What do you think about the Allison turbine in a Maule ? Thanks

Several years ago I developed a software program to read engine RPM based on the sound that the engine makes. I now have a new version of this (free) software available which is much easier to use than the old verison. It runs on any Pocket PC, or any Windows laptop. You can use it to check the...

I'm in the process of purchasing my first airplane. A 1980 Piper Archer II. Can anyone offer advice on where to go for financing. I filled out an application on line and thought I had financing approved. It turns out all I have is a quote with a lengthy approval process to follow. So I need...

Things I still need to see at OshKosh: 1. I haven't been to see the Warbirds yet. I lived there as a teenager. Really neat to walk up and see a Spit... 2. Haven't been to the flight line for the airshow. Go down and sit about Row 70. That 's right where all the warbirds get airborne and good...

All the experts I read on this board are either for or against Synthetics or Semi Synthetics. But most seem to take as Gospel the words of a Guy (Mechanic or FBO) who makes a LOT of money from fixing your Engines. Do you think po poing a product is based on good will or business sense? I would...

We made it home successfully yesterday from our first Oshkosh adventure. It was a great experience and we look forward to going again. We arrived last Sunday afternoon, had Monday to get settled in the North 40 and 3 days at the show, departing Friday. We left mid-morning under overcast skies, and...
