Greetings everyone, Our club is looking into expanding its fleet. Most of the fixed costs associated with an airplane can be obtained from the insurance company and your favorite A&P. I seem to remember a website that published the operating costs associated with a great number of GA airplanes. ...

What are some of the costs associated with owning an airplane? Particularly, I'm partial to a single engine four seater probably of the Mooney's I'm not to leary of costs such as planned/unplanned maintenance but admittedly understand nothing of the FAA regulations involved. Is there some kind of...

Looking to buy a Cessna 150/150 STOL. Lower 48 states only

I took our sick DG to Airtech Instrument at BFI in Seattle. They can overhaul ours for around $450, or provide an exchange overhauled unit for $495, which seems like a reasonable price. (This is an Edo/Mitchell vacuum DG with heading bug for the AP). Does anyone have any feedback (good, bad or...

Tell me what you think about this issue: I flew 4443H ('79 Mooney 201) Saturday morning for a couple of hours. One time during the flight, for about 5 minutes the High / Low voltage light was flickering. It did stop flickering, the ammeter wasn't showing a discharge, and the battery voltage...

I have lost my Job! I need to sell a picture I have of the original Skyblazers Signed by the team. My grandfather passed it on to me but, I am in need of money right now. The Twin Patillo Brothers knew my grandfather, (They give it to him). It is a pen and ink done in Fürstenfeldbruck, (In...

Ahh... I forget. Airnav beats 100LL hands down with mogas pricing. Airnav shows mogas at KISW, but 100LL.com doesn't. 100LL.com doesn't list Portage either. Are there any other fuel price sites? Sorry if my posts are out of "sync", but what is up with the groups? My ISP's news server is dead and...

All I can say is, "CRAP!" The altimeter didn't quite pass the IFR certification. It had some "erratic" movement, required lots of tapping, and then would bounce back and forth between the acceptable error limits for the certification. A couple altitudes were over the limit. The guy doing...

In the continuing saga of my altimeter woes, I've discovered that my current unit has been forced into obsolecense. It's a Macleod unit, and most overhaul places say they won't touch them. The guy who did the IFR cert says, "Buy a brand name like United or Kollsman." Any thoughts on one...

Has anyone tried anti-reflective plastic film on the gpsmap or another device? Garmin says there is an anti-reflective coating on the screen but it doesn't look like it to me. With the 496 gizmo mounted on the copilot side I've been able to knock down the glare by putting a kid's black tee...
