Fuel dip tube for Piper Warrior? by TTA Cherokee Driver
Is there a fuel dip tube available for the Piper Warrior II (specifically, pa28-161)? When I flew the 172 I used a fuelhawk dip tube to measure how much fuel I had. In the warrior there are tabs in each tank at 17 gals but other than that it seems like guesswork. I sure would like to find a way...

Stumped by new starter by Jim Burns
I'm stumped by a problem with a new (rebuilt) Prestolite starter. Bare with me while I go through the details. The left engine starter had been causing us problems, the bendix wouldn't engage every time. We also had a problem with the right bendix but only on occasion, so we thought we just...

engine trouble by mindenpilot
I have about 1100 SMOH on my IO-360 (2000 TBO). Compressions are all 70 or above. There was only a tiny bit of metal at the last oil change. That was shortyly after I bought it, at which time I also put a spin-on filter adapter on. The engine has been running great, especially lately. However, my...

Cessna 172 upkeep by redman
I am currently taking flying lessons to get my private license. I've been thinking about buying a 172 sometime after I get my license. Looking for some input on a ballpark amount of the annual upkeep. How much does an annual cost? How much does the 100 hr. inspection cost? I realize that if...

Renting in Bahamas? by Marty Ross
Anyone know of, or have experience with, renting a plane and instructor from any of the northwest islands in the Bahamas? I'm planning on being there in July and would like to do some sightseeing & flying (I'm PPL/IA). Would rather do typical "FBO-style" instruction/checkout, but if there are...

battery charger to get through Piper power port? by Kyler Laird
I bought a cheap SLA trickle charger at a ham fest awhile ago thinking I might use it with a cable I made for my Aztec. On a warm (but not warm enough) day last week I tried start the plane without heating the engines. I failed. I thought it would be a good time to try the charger. I knew my...

Plastic Interior Parts? by Mike Spera
O.K. With the new seat belts on order and the pending order of the carpet, wall kit, and seat covers, the last 2 items are the headliner and the window surround plastic. The headliner is in good shape with only a slight variation in the color here and there. I will do the "Kiwi shoe polish trick"...

Today I became a co-owner by Jack Allison
Well, the saying that the third time is the charm certainly is the case for me and my two partners. Today, two of us closed the deal on a very nice '71 Arrow and flew part of the way home. As I write this, I'm in Farmington, New Mexico. We started the day at Front Range airport in Colorado. ...

V35B upgrade from IO-520-BA to IO-520-BB by Allen
Can anybody give me an idea what is involved in doing this? I believe the engine is approved for the airplane if you follow some Beech drawing. No info on how to get the drawing. TIA, Allen

Honeywell KFC-225 autopilot - what could cause this failure? by Joerg
Hi Peter, The mpeg didn't play for me but just a few thoughts: Since they say they couldn't reproduce it on the ground, could this be a noise issue? Possible sources would be the radio, a transponder transmission, engine ignition, maybe a motor driven trim, fuel equalizer pump if you have one....

Stolen Engines by MontyJ
The engines/props were stolen off a twin that had been sitting for 4 years (the auction of the plane is on Ebay). Just wondering if the serial numbers are in a FAA or maintenance database somewhere and could be traced as to where they are now. Any other ideas how to find them? If they were shipped...

My Ney Enterprises Re-Man Lasted 200 hours by N. Shane
Caution to those pondering a zero-choke re-man by this company. My O-470J lasted 200 hours before four cylinders showed mid-fifties compression with Blackstone labs reporting symptoms of excessive ring wear. Even after admitting, view phone, that the test-stand results were abnormal, Ney himself...

Garmin 430 Reception by Jon Kraus
Our "new" '79 M20J came with a 2 year old Garmin 430 GPS and Garmin 340 audio panel. The backup radio is an ancient King 170B. I must say that the reception on the Garmin sucks compared to the 170B. Am I doing something wrong or is this just something I have to live with? To me for 10 grand the...

A week ago I became a new co-owner by bdl
I thought I had posted this last week, but it appears it never got to the Usenet at large so here's try #2. After all the praise Jack Allison's been getting on his new bird, I've become a little jealous. (And what a nice bird it is Jack) I've become a new co-owner in a 4-way in an existing...
