I recently got my tail wheel endorsement (in a Citabria) and really enjoyed the whole experience. What a blast! While I like the Citabria, the classic cub looks so neat and I'd love to check one out. I'm just a renter now but I'm toying with owning a tailwheel. I'm quite tall and I just fit into...

I'd like to buy a portable uplink weather display for single-engine piston aircraft I fly recreationally along the east coast. I'm impressed with VistaNav by Mercury, but it's expensive and large. I've been looking at Garmin's 396 and 496. I see another solution is Anywhere Map, but I've...

Anyone here had any experience with Cameron in DuPage IL? They do interior overhauls. I'd be interested in hearing of quality interior shops in the Chicago area.

What is required as far as a formal equipment list for part 91 operations? In reading 91.205 and listening to one instructor I know, I cannot reconcile what he says with the FARs. He states that an aircraft must have an equipment list. I cannot find an equipment list for the plane I fly...

Hi All I'm in the process of purcasing my first Plane from a private owner. The current owner lives in NY state and I live in NJ. I know with cars I would pay sales tax at NJ Motor vehicles when I register and title the car but how does the process work with Planes? I was told that you just snd in...

Imagine my dissapointment when I realized this didn't involve Lycoming.

Can anyone tell me how a dynamic prop balancer works? I have heard that it involves an accelerometer to detect vibration, but it what do they use to detect the prop position to correlate with that accelerometer? Could it be an optical pickup from a mark placed on the prop? Or perhaps a pickup...

Another thread made me think about using the portable propane heater I use in my garage to preheat my airplane. It's the standard metal tube type with the fan from Home Depot or Lowes. I've seen people simply attach a flex duct to the end of this type heater and blow the hot air into the...

Not to be confused with Yakko or Dot... Just had the DG replaced (went precessing 60 deg on a 90 deg turn) yesterday. Ran the engine up and taxi'd to the ramp from the shop. Things looked ok - no, wait! the AI is upside down. Now, I'm used to seeing it canted to the right before everything is run...

Ah, gentle readers, when last we left the hangar while regaling you with this tale, I had had my heart broken by a Tiger in Arizona and was back on the prowl. Animals prowl because their patience with being hungry is wearing thin, and that well might be an apt description of my mindset at this...

This could be worse than the tax increase. FAA wants airline-style regs for small repair stations The FAA is once again pushing a bad proposal that could put small repair stations out of business and increase maintenance costs for aircraft owners. The proposal would require all repair stations,...

Looked in the obvious places on the fire wall inside and outside, by the pedals and in the belly. Where did they hide it ????? Thanks for any hints......

Well, I finally made it out to the airport (3BS) today. With the 4-Runner in 4WD I managed to get within about 10 feet of the man door. That's where those big tires dropped through the ice and snow to the sod underneath. sigh at least the ground is still frozen but I think we may be missing a...

Anybody know of a shop in the New England region that has experience installing these indicators? Our usual local shop hasn't and evidently there's a bit of learning curve. Thanks. Dave Reinhart
