I've got a Flybuddy Loran in my C150. The manual and the 337 identify it simply as a "Flybuddy Loran." Is the Flybuddy Loran 800 often mentioned on this newsgroup the same item or is it a different one? I ask cuz I'm going to see if I can get the 1993 database card upgraded. Henry

I have been toying around with the idea of buying a Colt or a Tri-Pacer (having just foolishly sold my Ercoupe) and ran across an ad for a Colt with a child seat STC. I did a google search, a deja/google group search (on rec.aviation) and looked at the Short wing Piper web site and found nothing...

Are Garmin shipping the GNS430 with WAAS yet ? -- Roy N5804F - PA28-181

I have read conflicting recommendations for take-off power in a M20J. Some people seem to suggest that it's best to reduce MP/RPM to 25/2500 after 500 feet, while others suggest full throttle/2600 until cruise altitude reached. Any thoughts ?

Since it looks very much like I will be sans airplane in a week or so, I've been kicking around options for future flying. My general bad feeling about owning an airplane in Mobile notwithstanding, there's still a chance I could buy another airplane if renting a 2006 Cessna 182T from the local...

I posted a question a week or so ago about multi-probe engine monitors. I decided to go with Electronics-international UGB-16. I can monitor a total of 16 points. So with 6 EGT's and 6 CHT's, I have 4 spares. I opted for an OAT function because I don't like the placement of my...

As my .signature attests, I'm also a ham radio operator. I'd like to be able to use a 2 meter/440 MHz dual-band radio in the aircraft. While, ideally, that radio would be an Icom IC-2820H, like the one in my car, practically speaking it'll be a handheld. An external antenna would seem to be a...

Can anyone recommend a place where I could order a POH online? My 206 is lacking a POH and I'm tired of arguing with the previous owner over its whereabouts. I'd rather just go online and order a new copy. Thanks for any leads. CGP.

I am currently taking flying lessons to get my private license. I've been thinking about buying a 172 sometime after I get my license. Looking for some input on a ballpark amount of the annual upkeep. How much does an annual cost? How much does the 100 hr. inspection cost? I realize that if...

Anyone know if I can get a database update for a Foster500 Loran, and if so where from and how much it costs? I wouldn't bother except my autopilot is connected to it, and the existing database is old enough that some of the airport ID's have changed for ICAO, and one or two VORs have...
