Does anyone have any experience towing their airplane with a golf cart? I'm thinking about mounting a ball on the front of a golf cart to move my Bonanza in and out of the hangar. Many thanks. Ashton

I purchased a 1971 Cherokee 140 shortly after getting back into flying the first of this year. It is a marvelous plane, relatively inexpensive to fly and to maintain. The other night while flying with my instructor he asked me if I typically got this much vibration. I told him that it felt...

I wanted to relate an interesting story. I purchased a small single engine Piper in January of this year through my business. At the time I had extra cash in the business, so rather than finance it, I decided just to use the cash and then perhaps put the financing in place later. Well the later...

My partner and I just purchased a Piper Warrior from California. All the compressions on the engine are 72 or better. We test flew for about two hours and found no problems. Just recently she was taken in for the Canadian inspection. The AME in Brampton told us that the compressions were good but...

Just wondering if anyone has removed a King DME from their aircraft. Ours was removed to satisfy Canadian regs when it was imported from the US. The AME told us just to replace it after certification. I noticed a locking cam at the front centre of the DME. Trouble is when I insert it into the tray...

A short time ago a fellow posted a request for information for painting the metal panel on a Piper Tomahawk. I work at Pierce Manufacturing in Appleton, Wisconsin, currently the USA's largest custom firetruck manufacturer. Most of our trucks are made of aluminum. The paint we use inside the cabs...

I was at the local Altell cellphone shop the other day, and they were showing me a new USB doodad that you can plug into your laptop computer and use the internet anywhere they have signal coverage (most of the nation from the chart they showed me) at DSL speeds. It's aimed at people who are on...

There have been many discussions about the best way to lean, the best way to operate your aircraft engine for good longevity, and more. Lycoming has an EXCELLENT article about engine operations, it's very long but full of good information. I learned a lot about proper leaning, cold weather...

We had someone from Kansas City who was going to stay with us during the EAA Airventure, but changed his mind about coming. So now my wife and I are happy to offer our spare bedroom in our house in northern Appleton, Wisconsin, about 35 minutes from EAA in Oshkosh. It isn't much, just a futon...

I was reading a previous thread from May about owner assisted annuals. I noticed a number of comments about drilling out stuck inspection panel screws. Back when I used to work on airplanes as an avionics tech, someone showed me a neat trick for getting stuck screws loose. When you find a screw...
