I'm wondering if anyone here owns a Bonanza A36 (or any Bo with a similar wing structure) with high airframe time (10,000 hours)? I ask because my local A&P who rebuilds a lot of wrecked airplanes knows of an A36 that had a nose gear collapse and has been collecting dust in a hangar for the...

Hi, I own a 1967 Cherokee 235B and am in need of a prop cable. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a PMA'd new one, or a salvage company that may have one? I've tried Aircraft Spruce, and McFarlands and neither have a PMA'd cable for early Pipers as well as a couple salvage company's...

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...

Greetings fellow pilots. I have a situaton at hand and am weighing some options and thought that I have received good advice here before so I figured I would try again. Here is my dilema..I am currently enrolled in school to receive my commercial and CFI (as well as multi and CFII) I have a great...

Hello, Has anyone have first hand experience with both the Argus 5000 and Argus 5000ce. I know a lot of users have transitioned to the CE, but functionality-wise they are about the same. (minus the color, of course) My biggest issue is that I sometime deplore the contrast of my 5000 unit,...

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...

All the experts I read on this board are either for or against Synthetics or Semi Synthetics. But most seem to take as Gospel the words of a Guy (Mechanic or FBO) who makes a LOT of money from fixing your Engines. Do you think po poing a product is based on good will or business sense? I would...

I am in need of original manufacture's user manuals for the KLN89B. The manufacturer no longer produces the spiral bound manual that is required to be in the aircraft. Reproductions of the manual from the PDF document are not an acceptable substitute for the manual that must be carried in the...

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...

I started reading these aviation newgroups in 1999 when I learned to fly. I bought my Husky and have put over 2000 hours on it in 5 1/2 years. It is time for me to move on to other pursuits (I am playing my guitar and involved in some other great activities). I don't really know if I will continue...

Hydrostatic garden tractor. Jim "Peter" wrote in message ... Hi, A colleague is looking for a tug, perhaps an electric one, capable of towing the aircraft (a TB20) by the first wheel a distance of about 50 yards.

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...

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...

I had an odd thought while flying yesterday. Traditionally, we have had CHT info on one cylinder. Now, many planes have monitors that tell us all 4 or 6 cylinders. I have been trying to keep all my cylinders under 400 as I believe most of us are doing. However, I had a thought about that...

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...

Where is it dictated that certain states/cities require ethanol in their auto fuel? I've been to the EPA website and get 1000 hits on ethanol, but none which show me the requirements. Thanks Dave
