With the other (Selling my Airplane) thread going full speed, I hesitate to post this notice, but.... After 12 years of membership in a partnership, I'm selling my 1/5 share in a nice 1978 Archer II. A brief overview: Located KRYY: Cobb County McCollum field (North Atlanta area) About 4200...

We have a really weird one and I'd like some help in the diagnosis. We're in Southern California and have a 1974 Cherokee Cruiser with the O-320E3D. Background: About a year ago we had our annual. During the annual our mechanic took apart the gascolator and checked/cleaned the area.

There's a rumor floating around the office that my company is considering purchase of a used bizjet. They have a reputation for trying to do things on the cheap and seem to be partial to Citations because we're located in a town that has a Cessna repair facility. I've seen multiple listings for...

Mike I am intending to order an airtex interior for the Archer. I have all your great notes on your experiences, but I would like to have any photos that you have. Sorry to post like this but I have lost your email address :-( -- Roy - N5804F Piper Archer "I have had some bad landings but I have...

I'm a newbie working on getting a PPL. People tell me that if I'm serious about flying, I should seriously look into purchasing a plane - in the long run it'll be cheaper than renting. If I buy (used, of course, but I'm open to the possibility of joint ownerships/partnerships), I'd need something...

Hello, We don't have any static wicks on our plane. With the -20C dry dry weather we've been having, the radios have some static and the VOR has been a bit wonky as of late. A couple things I've read are affected by static. I have a Twin Comanche. Can anyone suggest a good static wick and how...

Warning! Danger! Shameless Self-Promotion! After four years of preparation and two years of work, the "Oshkosh Suite" -- our 17th aviation theme suite -- is finally complete! With 24 consecutive Oshkosh Fly-Ins under our belts, we *knew* from the moment we bought the hotel in '02 that we...

For two years I have chased the cause of the famous Cherokee Fluctuating Ammeter. Somewhere in here it became obvious that the problem was load related, ie turning off loads cured the problem for a time. This resulted in changing switches, loads and curses. It should have become obvious somewhere...

Hi Guys, I am in the market for a new hand held GPS. Looking at Garmin, Lowrance and AvMap, but just recently found the AnyWhere Map Software, with using a BlueTooth GPS and Dell Axim Pocket PC. To me it looks like a great combination of screen size, ease of use and "ugradebility". Cost...

Just got the word from the A&P that the exhaust system on my 1976 M model 172 needs overhauling because of cracks and leaks. I'm compemplating replacing it with a Power Flow Systems tuned exhaust rather than having the stock OEM system overhauled. The A&P is guessing the overhaul cost will be...

Well, Fat Albert goes for his annual condition check today... Not much on the punch list... Repair the trim tab indicator wire which has snapped - which requires someone to crawl all the way into the tail cone...

I am thinking of fitting K2U gap seals on my Archer. Are they worth the cost ? Thanks for all input Jim

I just read about the GNS530W Pilot Guide. In page 3, it says: NOTE: The GNS 500W-series units use a different database than in the legacy units. The databases are incompatible between units. The GNS 500W-series units must use a WAAS enabled database. Can anyone who has...

Went flying today. Go to crank the engine for start, nothing. Turn the key, got like a jiggle of the prop. Turn all electrical things off, figuring the battery drained, and then started just the alt and bat, same thing, jiggle of the prop. Tried once more, and got the prop to turn and fired...
