So... I'm having this bad dream. It's 3:30 am and I can't sleep. The wind is howling its ferocious song and I think the wind turbine vents are about to overspeed into total oblivion. I groggily put on my robe and walk out into the garage, retrieve a flashlight, snap on the backyard light and...

(note the term "annual" and not merely "annual inspection") Well, my cherokee 140 has survived another year. The annual started Thursday at about 11:30am and we tucked the airplane back in the hangar at 4pm Friday. The downside being I was unable to assist with this annual due to post-surgery...

I'm not sleeping after getting the report grounding my Luscombe 8A after its first annual as my plane. All the advise about a pre-buy inspection is true! I thought my plane was too to do that at a long distance. (My plane came from Georgia, I'm in California). The outboard five feet of the wings...

Last week I received a new Piper Service Bulletin, which seems to affect all older (pre 1983) retractable gear PA-28s (Arrow), PA-32s (Lance/Saratoga), PA-34s (Seneca), and PA-44s (Seminole). It calls for recurrent dye penetrant inspections of a particular wing rib (one in each wing) where...

Hi everybody, I have just bought myself a 31st birthday present, an absolutely immaculate Cessna 172H. It has original paint and interior and looks as though it just came out of the factory. Has has a fairly easy life with total time of 4,400 and log books going back to original assembly in...

Does anyone know where I can get an owner assisted annual done in the Warsaw, In area? Thanks in advance for any help in this matter. Terry

I can't find these information presented on a map anywhere on the web, so I wrote my own: http://www.chouby.com/apps/autogas.html http://www.chouby.com/apps/100dollarhamburger.html Enjoy!

I'm looking for a website that has the entire list of all airports in US that are reported to sell autofuel. airnav.com is close, but the best I can search is a 200nm radius from a given point (airport or lat/long). It'll take me over 200 searches in a grid search pattern to cover the entire...

I was having a long standing problem on my 172N with the ammeter "woggling", that is, rapidly wiggling back and forth in level flight, through about 1/2 of the total scale. This was going on for a year or more. On the last annual, the AP had me disassemble the solenoids and brush the leads. There...

I have a "long neck" 5 qt oil sump. I am using a short dip stick (ie. mismatch) which shows approx. 1 qt low. I would like to change it out just to "make it right" and no confusion. Where is a good place to find one to buy or trade with mine? Thanks. Larry

Check this clip out. What does everyone think happened here? http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZWC2XJYgcJU It looks like a 182, so it had *some* muscle. I think it must have been hot, maybe a high elevation, loaded with fuel, people and equipment. But one passenger was a small boy so he couldn't...
