Has anyone spent any real time in the middle row of club seats like those in the Lance or Saratoga? I know most owners end up in the pilot seat, but I'm wondering how comfortable those middle seats are, facing backwards and not being able to recline at all? Anyone ever complained on a long...

Nut loose in my engine! - Video I think I lost a nut somewhere as my engine is making a strange sound on take off and landing. I have amplified the sound track in this video to see if anybody can identify that sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVetZGvAs0I Comments most appreciated on...

I just heard from one of my suppliers that all orders for Autolite plugs have been cancelled by the maker and there will be no more.

I dedicated my last couple of flights (as well as a flight commercially) to really, and really enjoy the privilege of viewing the clouds from the top down and that's what my latest video has been focused on. Images and videos are from the past three weeks. After all, why do we own planes in the...

Has anyone used Wing Waxers aircraft detailing lately? They seem to have a good product but dont know about the reputation and I am having a hard time researching them.... I think they use a Teflon product? Any thoughts on this company and its products? Or can anyone recommend a better company or...

Okay, so I found a shop that will install everything for real cheap. Anyone ever installed a new panel, avionics stack, or redone their panel? Should be fun to see what comes out of this, since right now I've got issues here and there. Still looking for a hangar though.... Patrick

Does anybody know where I can find a manual for the King KFC-200 as a PDF? Google only shows some places where I can buy a paper copy. I'm still trying to figure out what fried chicken has to do with flying airplanes.

anyone know the price for a m20e mooney cowl kit only? have they they increased a lot in the last years? what parts are included?

Am I the only one that still has the Aero Advantage Dual Pump installed? I see that the AD to remove the pump has finally arrived: http://dmses.dot.gov/docimages/p84/385862.pdf This is a stupid AD, in my opinion. The reason for the AD is that both chambers might fail at the same time. But, how is...

Has anyone had any experience with GEL-GLOSS cleaner on their plane? I think they sell it at Lowe's and some other stores. Some guy during the standard rainy afternoon hangar talk said he uses it on his plane and it works great as a cleaner and is much cheaper than aviation cleaner. Any thoughts...

I'm relocation to S. Florida (Hollywood) area. I'm need hanger space for a composite airplane Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Steve

First, the discussion on Jack's new Arrow regarding the rheostat and landing gear lights was a good refresher for me this past Saturday. I flew a P28T (Piper Turbo Arrow IV) 6.7 hours on three legs. I didn't check the lights upon startup and taxi (it was daylight and the gear was down as I pulled...

You might take a look at http://www.ScienceOxygen.com/aviation204.html It does not sell Helicopter there, but it collects some links about Helicopter so that you could start looking for information from there.

I had a "mike stuck open" problem on my 1977 Piper Archer. The PTT switch tests out fine and seems that the KMA20 audio panel is the culprit. I worked all the front panel switches many times and the problem has gone away for the moment. The mike unstuck as I was working the Marker Hi Lo switch I...

Okay, here's the final tale of the tape: (These are GPS ground speeds, verified either in absolutely calm air or in two directions. Probably not a 100% perfect method, but close...) Without fancy pants: 136 knots at 23 squared. With repaired fancy pants: 143 knots at 23 squared. This is a 5%...

I am looking for a lower cowling for my Grumann Cheetah. Does anyone have any suggestions where I can find one, preferably used. Thanks, NM

Just wanted everybody to know that I have a 40' x 30'+- "T" hangar for rent. It is at the Mcminnville Oregon airport and costs $250 per month. It is a new unit that includes basic electricity. Protect your baby from the upcoming winter; available now.. Contact John...

I finally pulled my Mitchell (Edo-Aire?) vacuum DG and sent it off to Bernard Ducasse for overhaul. For those following the new vs. re-new debate, I'll let the group know how the overhaul turns out. After removing the DG, I covered the exposed ends of the vacuum hoses left dangling in the plane...

Would a '79 Mooney M20J have a 14 or 28 volt electrical system? I am thinking about buying one and wanted to look at some avionics. Thanks!! Jon Kraus PP-ASEL-IA Student Mooney Purchaser

Will the King KY 197 Comm unit fit into the tray for the King KY 97 Comm unit as a slide in replacement? Thanks, Tom
