Hey all. I've got a KY-197 COM radio that's got squelch issues. A few years ago, I adjusted the squelch level and more or less screwed it up. At that time, I obtained a few pages from the service manual that give the adjustment procedures and I got it tuned up right. (I've got access to an...

Just returned from the annual Inspection Authorization renewal meeting. Not too boring and some good information and good food. The one thing that got the most attention was the assertion by one of the FAA inspectors that when you remove any equipment installed with a Form 337 as a major...

Yesterday's flight.after preflight, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSc5CFbRU_c Did a couple things differently in this video. First, I was able to capture ATC instructions to me by putting COM 2 on the external speaker. My readbacks did not come out. Quality on the audio not the best, but I...

You insure your a/c . You have an accident and the insurance company says that if the estimate is between 60-70% of the insured value, they declare it totaled. Why is the cut-off point 30-40% lower than the insured value?

Hello! I'd like to ask the help of the assembled exeprtise here about the details of the standard two-sided Cessna masterswitch. I'm rewiring my Pitts to put a B&C alternator in it. I've got a two-sided switch and can't remember which side is the battery side and which is the alternator side. ...

Well, cheap for around here, anyway. If you're flying along the central Gulf Coast, it's $2.39/gal self serve at St. Elmo (2R5) near Mobile. -- Dan C172RG at BFM

I just bought the Hood Lamb and had to send them back. They simply would not clamp to my David Clark H10-13.4 which have a narrower than usual band. To their credit, they acknowledge this problem with DC's and suggest friction tape to increase the girth of the band. Didn't work...to rinky-dink...

Am I the only one that still has the Aero Advantage Dual Pump installed? I see that the AD to remove the pump has finally arrived: http://dmses.dot.gov/docimages/p84/385862.pdf This is a stupid AD, in my opinion. The reason for the AD is that both chambers might fail at the same time. But, how is...

Any C-172XP owners out there? I have a potential partner and the 172XP is a plane that would fit nicely into a first time ownership scenario for both of us. Looking for any advice, the good, the bad, the ugly the XP model. TIA! -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL, plan-to-be-IA-Student, flying club...

Hello everyone.. I've posted this question in a few different NG's and forums, so appologies in advance for anyone reading it again. Anyow.. I have a Sony Clie TJ25 Palm-OS PDA that I recently purchased an i.trek mouse GPS receiver for from Semsons & Co. in the USA. I'm located in Canada,...

My attitude indicator was last replaced back in November 2006 with a Mid-Continent overhauled unit. Since then I have flown on average twice every single week of flights an hour or less in duration. Thus, there are about 180 hours or so on this air-driven AI but it is out of warranty. Around ten...

I had a new windshield installed and don't want to drill a hole in the new windshield for the old temperature probe. Is there a cheap alternative that I won't have to drill the windshield to install?

Just got off the phone. They called earlier this week & I suggested they call back (they did). Anybody else done one recently? TC

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...
