I have an IO-360-A3B6 with 1000 SFNEW in 1998. We pulled a cylinder and the pin plugs where gone (we guessed this from the oil analysis). The mechanic says he thinks he remembers some sort of SB put out by Lycoming that there was a defect in the plugs and that they were made too soft. Has anyone...

Anybody heard this from another avionics shop, or is this just a Cincinnati Avionics thing? " Schedule your WAAS upgrade now! Save $1495.00" "Effective September 1st the WAAS Upgrade price will increase from $1500.00 to $2995.00, therefore schedule your WAAS upgrade by August 31st to...

OK, after fifteen years or so, TDATA has priced themselves out of my pocketbook. I found a little company back in South Carolina called Zook Aviation and their product is priced fairly and I like the little demo they sent me. I also like the mom'n'pop attitude of the company. However,...

I know I've read of the 3-spike plates used for tiedowns @ Oshkosh. Does someone sell same? A friend is putting up a tent/outbuilding, and screwing those augers into his solid clay is No Phun . -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host...

I won't be getting it for a couple of years and whatever I picked would be an older plane. It will be for (or slightly before) my 50th birthday. I wanted to ask what the group thought about a Cherokee 140 as a first plane? In talking with my fellow CFI's most of them think I would find the...

Is anyone manufacturing new open cockpit aircraft? I'm aware of the Waco Classic Aircraft Corporation, which makes new WACOs, but that's it. Is the WACO the only new built open cockpit aircraft around? -Charles Talleyrand

Anyone here have the PS Engineering PM3000 stereo 4-place intercom? Is it really worth $200 more than the comparable Flightcom 403? How well does it sound with music input from an iPod? It's TSO'ed, so my A&P/IA is having much less heartburn about installing it... seems the Houston FSDO has...

2007 was a different Oshkosh experience for me, from previous years. http://new.photos.yahoo.com/landof10klakes/albums/ Look in album: OSHKOSH 2007 (1st report) 1. The Offer One week before OSH, I was approached by Golden Wings Museum and asked if I would drive out a trailer full of "stuff" for...

I recently got an L3 Avionics (ex BFGoodrich) WX1000+ stormscope installed. http://www.as.l-3com.com/products/wx1000.aspx It is second hand but it got all the checks and forms by the avionics vender including being sent to L3 avionics for re-certification papework just before installation. The...

I've done a little prep and found some potential wireless hotspots within about a mile or so of the North 40. Here's my list, in case it's helpful to anyone else: Locations on Koeller: from the N40, go W to US41, then N to Koeller. Fairfield Inn Oshkosh 1800 S Koeller St ...

Big Bertha is a rocket designed and sold by Estes. I had one when I was a kid. The thing was damn near indestructible. Stop spewing your drivel and belittling the name of a fine flying machine.

Viperdoc? I am thinking about a new airplane and considering a 58. G58. Yes, with AC! Here is my question(s). What do you really cruise it at. Airspeed (IAS or TAS)

Dear Friends, I would like to invite you to participate in the General Aviation Survey 2007. There are many risks one can face as a pilot or passenger in the busy European skies. One of those is mid-air collision. Many factors may cause it. A major one is airspace infringement. The survey is being...

New to powered flight. It's a jungle out there. Seeking the short list of the most popular 4-seat single engine aircraft made in the last ~20 years. What are the best options? (Used, fixed gear.) ::tuno

The rep's at the RejeX booth said it is not necessary to wait the full 20 minutes to wipe it off as the directions state. Soon as it dries to a haze, wipe it off. Waiting longer makes it harder. They also said it may not work if applied over waxes or other coatings like Pledge. They also...

With avgas well over 4 bucks a gallon flying is getting a bit on the expensive side. This book looks like it may have some ideas, anyone read it? http://1960c172a.fundflying.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=1
