THE AUCTION HANGAR GOES LIVE Dear Aviation Enthusiast The Auction Hangar went live yesterday, 9 months of hard work has, we think, produced a marvel of an auction site, there is nothing else out there that comes close to the advanced features and design of The Auction Hangar and now all it takes...

Hi! Does anyone know of a good European web dealer of Yoke mounts for PDA's? I plan on using my Pocket Win 5.0 cell phone "i-mate JasJar" with the PocketFMS programme. I now need to buy a yoke mount for it, so I guess I need some sort of adjustable universal PDA Yoke mount.

I own a 1960 Cessna 172 with 2500 hours on the airframe. It is not rated for aerobatic flight, but the positive and negative G loads that it is approved for far exceed the normal G forces associated with a well-executed barrel roll. Has anyone heard of this maneuver being performed in a 1960 172?

There is usually a point where it is cheaper to do it yourself than have someone else do it for you. What I'm wondering is what would that point be when it comes to trans-world air travel. When does buying your own jet and employing your own pilots make economic sense than using an airline? ...

Hi! I am going on a vacation in my plane in a couple of weeks down Europe, and was wondering if there is a web site anywere with current fuel prices at different airports. It would be nice if it was sorted by country.

At this time of year the wasps start a nest in my ailerons a couple of times each week. I'm allergic to wasps so each time that I go out to the airport I look for the newly started nests and spray them with Raid flying insect killer. Obviously to do this involves spraying the insect killer inside...

Just purchased my first plane and have it tied down. It has a canopy cover but no wing covers. Walking around the airport I only notice one other plane with wing covers. I would have thought wing covers would be good protection. During the wnter the rentals would have them to prevent frost...

Our constant speed prop is getting long in the tooth. It was last overhauled in 1991, when it received new blades. My A&P says there is no reason to O/H or replace a prop so long as it meets specs and doesn't leak. Since we fly a couple of times per week, internal corrosion shouldn't be an...

Hey all... finally got around to taking a trip in my plane this weekend (busy with school stuff). The transponder appears to be weak and the controllers were none-too-pleased without seeing a squawk, IFR, running next to a TFR... :) They had a tough time receiving my squawk, especially when far...

This is a follow-up to a message I sent to the group recently about the Hartzell propeller AD. I flew out to the prop shop today and had them inspect my hub using the eddy current method. Interesting technology and quite accurate for finding the smallest of cracks on or very near the surface. ...

Well, I'm about to take the plunge into aircraft ownership. I had a few question about what I am doing that I wanted to throw out there and see if my thinking is correct or if I am totally in the outfield. I just started with a flight school as a flight instructor about a month ago knowing that...

Anyone got a surplus yoke mount they want to sell? thx Arthur

At my annual, the IA said my plane is in great, clean safe condition, but I need to have my prop overhauled. It's a 2 blade aluminum prop on a Lycoming 235/L2 engine. My understanding is that it just needs a clean up, some paint and filler, then a balance and return to service. Has anyone done...

I apologize if this gets posted twice but... I am pursuing a purchase of a SenecaII, and though my partner and I have good credit and appreciable assets, we were turned down by MBNA/AOPA. Honestly I felt that the loan officer didn't have much interest in my business and generally seemed apathetic...

With the rate at which GPS technology changes, I was wondering if its better to go with a receiver interfaced with a laptop or palm so that the software/maps can be updated more easily. Is that a misconception? What solution provides the most functionality?

FLIGHT MANUAL AND PILOTS CHECKLIST???

While taking my new to me'62 Cessna 172 with an O-300 (with about 75 hours on it SMOH with Millenium cylinders), I decided to start leaning as I should on my last flight. During the next preflight I noticed a whitish soot around the exhaust and on the cowl just adjacent to the stack during the...

Check this clip out. What does everyone think happened here? http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZWC2XJYgcJU It looks like a 182, so it had *some* muscle. I think it must have been hot, maybe a high elevation, loaded with fuel, people and equipment. But one passenger was a small boy so he couldn't...
