I decided to check the vernatherm on my Archer's engine because it is running on the high end of the green during summer flights. I had already checked the sending unit and guage and found it to be OK. I then removed a 1" hex cap from the top left of the oil filter adapter on the accessory case. ...

I need to get my carb rebuilt. It's a Marvel MA4-5 off an O-540. Somehow it floods to the point of not running (longer story possibly in another post). I'd like to find out why this is happening so that besides just getting an overhaul I actually know it won't flood again. I don't care if it...

Does anyone know what I would have to do to make a 396 go from an aviation unit to a car unit? Could I just take it out of the plane, push a few buttons and put it in the car and get turn by turn car navigation instructions? How does the car stuff work? Does it have all the resturants and stuff. Or...

It's part of flying, and there's nothing you can do about it. . . perhaps. You're trying to get to your destination, or maybe you're trying to get home. You look at the weather and no matter how you plot out your time, direction of flight, and other options, you're staying put! Blessing or...

Here are photos of this afternoon's storm moving through northwest Tucson. I'm standing in front of my hangar at KAVQ. From the first photo until the last was about five...

I was just reading both the land lease, and hangar keeper agreements for the now City owned Morey Airport. (C29), and they both state: "The Lessee further agrees not to transport, or cause to be transported, onto airport premises, gasoline or other flammable fluids for the purpose of self-fueling...

http://www.m-tc.com/efs2500_home.htm They're website is quite impressive, they have a few gallaries of this stuff being used on Biz Jets and the like, and it (seems to) work remarkably well. Any experiences? My "Too good to be true" alarm is going wild, but If it performs as advertised (and as...

Thanks to all for posting the Oskosh pics. I have enjoyed them. Ive never been there, but hope to make it one day. Thanks

I was in the process of entering the AWOS freq and when I pulled the center knob to select the .72 on my King KX125 the whole center knob and shaft came out. Has anyone had this problem? What does it involve to fix it?

I have been trying to figure out a cheaper alternative to having to pay $369 to purchase a Beeper Box to turn the engine heater on in my hanger from a remote location an hour or two before I fly. Before I try and re-invent the wheel, does anyone know of a product on the market that could do the...

Twas the night before Christmas 'Twas the night before Christmas, and out on the ramp, Not an airplane was stirring, not even a Champ. The aircraft were fastened to tiedowns with care, In hopes that come morning, they all would be there. The fuel trucks were nestled, all snug in their spots, With...

Does anyone have experience with Star West Aviation at FTG, Front Range airport in the Denver area? They're maintaining an Arrow that we're interested in. Also, any suggested shops/A&Ps for a possible Arrow pre-buy inspection would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! --

Here's a joke for you that I got from another thread, The Public Works Minister of a former French colony in Central Africa is in France in an official visit. He is invited for a dinner at the private house of his French counterpart. When he reaches the place, he can't refrain to say: - My...

When I started Atlas yesterday I watched the voltage on the JPI and the EI volt meters. It was pegged right at 14, which my A&P says is nominal. It drops to 13.4 or 13.5 in cruise, which he also says is fine. So, the JPI EDM-700 is now enroute back to JP Instruments in California. The tech I...

I'd like to get some paint work done on my plane, and I was wondering if anyone has recommended paint shops in the Ohio, Michigan, Indiana area. The plane is a warbird that is mostly bare aluminum. I want to get the insignia, stripes, and wheelwells re-done. Any recommendations would be...

Due to the popularity of our Rec.Aviation "Rogue's Gallery" of participant's airplanes, the page has grown to the point where it was loading slowly -- especially with a dial-up connection. Check it out now -- it should load lightning fast! http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm -- Jay...

A propeller set for BT-13 or T6 (6101A-12 52" length) was stolen from my grandfathers ( a WWII Vet )workshop within the last two days @ Sikorsky airport in Ct . If anyone is approached or might otherwise hear about these blades, please contact me. Please keep a watch on Ebay and Classifieds....

I would bet on a short to ground on the lights too. If you keep turning the dimmer pot up to pop the breaker, you will eventually cause the dimmer pot to fail which will be more expensive than you would guess!! These cirucits are notoriously poorly protected for over current conditons. Bill Hale...
