Well, I received my F & M oil filter adapter for my O-200 today not bad for quality of workmanship the Casting could have been cleaned up a bit & Machining could have been done a bit more precise for the money you spend on the unit but I don't think its going to make a diffreance as its under...

We are based in NE Ohio and looking to overhaul another Archer's engine soon. We had a bad experience recently with core charges from Lycoming and have decided to do a field overhaul on this bird. We would like to fly the bird in so we are looking at companies within a reasonable distance of NE...

Anyone have a downloadable service manual? Or an 0-200 would do nicely too...

I'm stumped by a problem with a new (rebuilt) Prestolite starter. Bare with me while I go through the details. The left engine starter had been causing us problems, the bendix wouldn't engage every time. We also had a problem with the right bendix but only on occasion, so we thought we just...

If my boss buy a plane I would be prospective pilot on it. He thinks about cabin class twin or BE58. After fast research we together decided to choose from: - Cessna 421C - Piper Navajo - Beech 58 Baron. Could you give me example operating cost? Would it be difficult to buy insurance for low time...

There are two versions of the KX155. One will drive a KI204 or 209; one won't. Anybody know if it is possible to buy the interface and have it installed in a non-GS KX155 so that the radio is legal? Don

We had 5-6 inches of snow last Thursday followed with a mix of rain/freezing rain on Saturday. We went to the airport on Sunday arming with shovels, snow brushes, isopropyl alcohol sprayer etc. Right after entering the gate, we glanced at the ramp and was alarmed to see the other Cardinal on the...

I just came across the website for a video called "hunting for bambi". From the looks of it, it seems to be a low-brow stab at the OLN/Playboy genres of cable networks, but also comes across as a misogynist celebration of gun culture. Does anybody have any insight or opinions as to what else it...

I'm looking for a set of cowl plugs for an '57 182. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! Chris

I am planning to buy a folding bicycle for use in Vicky (N2679V - Cardinal RG '75). Eventually there will be two bicycles, his and hers. Occasional use for trips up to 5 or 10 miles in moderate hills, no mountain biking, no centuries. More than three speeds would be nice but I don't know...

I own a '65 Cessna Skyhawk with a Lycoming O-360-A1A turning a constant speed prop. I recently read an article in the Cessna Pilot's Association on too high of oil temperatures, but that is not my case. I have been in contact with them and they also suggest I get the wisdom of the NG. The oil...

Our 140 is coming up on 1600 hrs TBO. We really hate what a dog it is and would like more power. Planning ahead, we've thought of a few options: 1 - 160 hp conversion (this is almost the minimum we'd do) 2 - Powerflow exhaust (article in Plane and Pilot claims 20% power improvement - can it be...

Is there any place that sells new knobs for radios? I am installing faceplate restoration panels on my '300' series transponder and ADF, and the ADF knobs are pretty clapped out. TIA -- Ben C-172 - N13258 @ 87Y

Folks, I'm hoping you can help me diagnose an odd EGT gage behavior. Background: 1965 Aircoupe with Continental C90-16F engine (has vacuum pump). Plane based in N. California so freezing temps not a factor (pre-heat not needed nor used). Has both a CHT and EGT on different cylinders, with the...

I've started a new aircraft homebuilding forum at http://www.WingsForum.com "They" say that a picture is worth a thousand words. The ability to attach spreadsheets, documents, and CAD files can speak volumes. I am not asking anyone to leave this list. I'm just offering an additional resource...

My GPS keeps losing it's mind. On my trip back from California a couple weeks ago, and then on my last trip down to Shreveport, LA last week, my AirMap 300 loses it's position and goes into a cold start. Sometimes it picks up again, sometimes not. On the way down to Shreveport, I left it in the...

In my 1974 Helio Courier, the avionics bus is powered by a contactor that is activated by the avionics master switch. There is no circuit protection between the contactor and the avionics bus. The wiring between the contactor and the bus consists of two 12ga wires. There also doesn't appear to...
