I have been dealing with this Canadian paint shop up in PittMeadows, BC for about 4 months now. They took my airplane (A Piper Tomahawk) in February to paint and put the interior plastics and carpeting that I provided them (worth about $1000). Since then the delivery time gt pushed back more than...

I need to paint my Tomahawk's panel (metal not plastic unlike my Warrior) and change the screws. I know that there will be some sending involved but I would like to find out what kind of paint to use. Thanks, Baha Acuner N9459T

My nose wheel pant is damaged. A body shop quoted me around $450 to fix & paint it, and new ones from Cessna are over $1k. Used are available on E-Bay for much less, and they all seem to say the same thing - "should fit any 172 & 182, but do your own research". The parts manager at my FBO said it...

Now let's take 91.175. The USA mandates the use of a published IAP. The UK does not. 91.1 says p91 does not apply outside the USA. Does this mean one can fly an unpublished IAP in the UK? I don't see anything in 91.1 saying that it does not apply outside the US. It says that it...

In the long term, I'm planning on getting into a partnership on a single engine plane capable of carriyng 4 adults + luggage for a 500 mile trip. Before I get all the way into a partial ownership situation, I'd really like to spend some time flying some of the potential aircraft I'm interested in,...

I had a chance to fly a DA-40 Diamond Star quite a bit over the holidays, to give some young eagles rides to kids in the family. After flying this plane, I'd have to say I much prefer it to either the 172 or Archer. The only downside I found was that the headroom in the front seats is just barely...

Does anyone have recent experience getting a Garmin 300XL GPS/COM installed? I'm trying to figure out the comparison in price between the 430 and the 300 when it comes to the total cost of the installation. This will initially be a VFR only installation, but I want the GPS to be IFR capable so that...

I'm debating the purchase of a plane and I was wondering what the current rates are that anyone has gotten for financing on an aircraft for a loan amount of $50-60K for either a 5, 7, or 10 year term. I know that AOPA can quote this, and I'll be calling them tomorrow during business hours. However...

I've noticed quite a few Cessna 310s posted for sale recently on ebaymotors and controller.com. This got me wondering if there is a reason why there are so many on the market (beyond the obvious high fuel and insurance costs for twins). Are 310s impacted by the spar ADs that the bigger twin Cessnas...
