MX385 Radio removal by Marty from Florida
Hey everyone. I had a radio guy adjust my sidetone from the radio, and he messed it up. No longer is the sidetone faint, it is now completely dead. My question to the group is, what exactly do I need to remove the radio and adjust the sidetone. I have a single hole in the lower center of the...

Lightspeed Comes Through! by Jay Honeck
As many of you know, while at OSH 2003 I had one of those inadvertent "once-in-a-lifetime" conversations with the president of Lightspeed Aviation. The story goes as follows: I've had three pair of LightSpeed headset -- two 15s and a 20XL -- that I have purchased over the last four years. The...

Touch Up White Paint by O. Sami Saydjari
I just noticed an area of exposed aluminum on my wing root, about the size of a quarter. I am not sure how and when it got there. Exposed aluminum seems like an inherently bad thing. Is there some good way to do a do-it-yourself job of touching this up that is both effective at protecting the...

Compass trouble by Road Dog
I took my Piper Warrior in for its annual and the mechanic said that the compass card was missing and that he'd have to swing the plane to generate a new one. After swinging it, he claimed that he couldn't get the E-W deviation within the minimum. So he suggested we try "mu" shield (or something)...

Prop strike effect on resale value? by John Doe
Got a general question for the group: If a used plane is for sale on the market, what effect is a prior prop strike going to have on it's resale value? I haven't found anything on any of the valuation services like Vref that talk about any kind of previous damage. I know it's all in the eye of...

Garmin 396 vs 496 by mbremer216
Any opinions on the differences between the two units. Other than the faster updating and the better street atlas, what makes the newer model worth $600 more? Thanks Mike

Battery Replacement and Cold Cranking Amps by O. Sami Saydjari
I have a Gill G25 battery in my Piper Arrow III (PA28R-201T). I recently had a situation where I ran out of juice after 4 attempted starts. While I am sure that I can improve my starting technique (I am a newbie for this particular plane), I would like to have a bit more power in my battery,...

Cigarette lighters in 100 series Cessnas and an AD(?) by Andrew Gideon[_2_]
I vaguely recall someone mentioning to me once that there was an AD regarding cigarette lighters in Cessna 172s of some vintage. But I've searched around trying to find this (including at the FAA web site), and have failed. Anyone have pointers (or is this perhaps an "urban...

Audio Panel Recommendations by Jay Honeck
My Narco audio panel works just fine. However, the faceplate has been glued back together twice by my avionics shop. (How it got broken in the first place is anyone's guess...) In the recent intense cold, the epoxy has let go again, so I think it's time to replace the unit. Other than requiring...

Why is LOP (lean of peak) controversial? by Andrew Gideon
I'm not asking about LOP itself, but why it's so "hot" snicker a topic. It would seem to be a simple thing to me: the cylinders run at decent temperatures LOP or they do not. What else is there? I know at least one person in person, and others from their postings, that are getting success...

Cessna 172 fuel selector by Ross
I am in the throws of my annual on the aircraft. This year I have several things needing fixing and one is the leaky fuel selector. Well, let me tell you that is no easy job. I had to take a lot of the plane apart to get to it. What was Cessna thinking when they designed the placement of the...

Caution - InterAv "Spike Guard" Capacitor by MikeremlaP
Okay guys, I cut the cap open. See foto at http://www.fotolog.net/palmer_mp/ No foil that I can see. In fact, I'm not sure how this thing works. I thought the idea was to create maximum surface area. I probably should have buzzed the negative terminal to the can to see if

S-TEC 60-2 audio warning by Julian Scarfe
I'm confused. I've spent many years flying a Mooney with a KFC200 autopilot that has an audible disconnect warning. We now have a Twin Comanche in which we installed an STEC 60-2 a couple of years ago. Recently, testing the 60-2 pre-flight, I noticed that there was no audio warning when the...

FAA whistleblower by john hawkins
I don't know a thing about it yet, but this whistleblower case in the FAA sure has the potential to become interesting. "I inform my then-supervisor, Anne Bechdolt, Acting Manager, Operations Law Branch, that I refuse to obey an order that would require me to violate the law..." A few things...

What's an old Cessna 300 NAV/COM worth? by Radu Tenenbaum
We recently replaced one of our Cessna 300 radios (it was still working) with a TKM MX-300. Someone at our aiport is interested in buying the old radio and I'm wondering what a fair price would be. Thanks, Radu

Avgas availability by Matt Whiting
Anyone seeing any avgas shortages? I just learned that a local airport (7N1) is out of gas. The FBO has a 10,000 gallon tank and ordered fuel back in February and still hasn't received it. He ran out yesterday... Matt

1 Attachment(s) Nasa Icing courses by Jim Burns
As many of you probably know, recent midwest weather has been a steady stream of low overcast, misty, and foggy days prohibiting most VFR flight and making IFR flights a spin of the icing roulette wheel. I thought it may be a good opportunity for us to review NASA's icing online...
