Assuming proper maintanence and a good airframe log/book inspection, are there any concerns about high time airframes, like insurability, etc? My partners and I are looking at a warrior with over 11,000 AFTT.

There was some discussion of this concept in the newsgroup before, with the consensus seeming to be that an individual owners get no real protection putting his personal airplane under corporate or LLC ownership.

Is there a good place on the web that describes the basics and terminology of piston engines? I understand the basic concepts, but some of the terms I read, like journals and bosses, etc., are a bit beyond me and I'd like to get a little bit better knowledge of the concepts. I'm definitely not...

My flying club is undergoing a fleet restructure, replacing Warriors with Skyhawks. I was editing my profile on AOPA flight planner, deleting the old aircraft. When I highlight a plane and "delete" in the aircraft list, the dialog that pops up asks: The aircraft "Piper - PA28-161 - N81917" will...

Hi folks, Anybody has any idea how much insurance on an older YAK-52 (50K-65K purchase price) goes for? I'm assuming one registered pilot just out of Air force UPT and all the civilian equivalent ratings under the belt. Thanks a bunch! Oh on a related question, what's a common aircraft loan term?...

I've heard that there is a way to get the "as shipped" parts list off the web (or somewhere other than Lycoming). I am looking to get the list of parts contained within my engine when it left Lycoming's factory. Does anyone know how to get this, or do I need to work with Lycoming directly? TIA...

Does anyone know how to go about trouble shooting a Whelan strobe light? It is on a Piper Cherokee and is the "beacon" of the airplane. I had an extra bulb I don't know the status of and swapped it out, but still didn't get any emission. I'm thinking that its probably the unit, but I don't know...

Hi, I'm looking for ideas on how to best clean the belly of my plane. It's a Cherokee and is pretty greasy/grimy/dirty underneath. I'm hoping to find something I can buy from a non-aviation source (like a supermarket or auto parts store), and it would be Great if I didn't need any water. TIA for...

Does anyone know the A/D number for the vertical fin/rudder that came out last year (maybe the year before)? It involves inspecting either the vertical fin or rudder for cracks and describes repair options if they are found. Appreciate any help from those who may know this A/D number. TIA.

Hi, I own a 1967 Cherokee 235B and am in need of a prop cable. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a PMA'd new one, or a salvage company that may have one? I've tried Aircraft Spruce, and McFarlands and neither have a PMA'd cable for early Pipers as well as a couple salvage company's...
