As MO, I've taken to warning club members not to tighten the dipsstick on the '74 Challenger even slightly. Even a little extra torque makes it very difficult to unscrew. Last week somebody torqued the entire plastic tube off the engine just loosening the dipstick. Something's goofy. What? Don

Does anybody have a working antenna for an Apollo GX55 that I can borrow for a week or two. I'm having an intermitent problem and I'd like to eliminate the antenna. As far as I can tell, it can be either one of the original A-33 (square) or A-34 (teardrop) or the Comant 420-220 (teardrop). All I...

It's been a few weeks since picking up the Arrow from the annual inspection. In short, the *required repairs* cost far less this year than last. The only significant airworthiness issue was a crack in the lower wing skin, just forward of the spar and where the wing connects to the fuselage. ...

Does anyone have plans or a link to info about making a baby flying bonnet? It's basically a bonnet that ties onto the baby, but is modified to provide hearing protection by adding foam/rubber earpieces and padding. I remember reading about it a couple of years ago on one of the pilot groups, but...
