At the last annual, we replaced the 3" scat tube in our 74 Cherokee 140 Cruiser that runs from the nose cowling to the carb air box. The old one was getting tattered and had several small pinholes in it. It ran fine all summer and fall. About 2 months ago, I went out to fly the beast. It fired up,...

Anyone here have cost information to do a major overhaul on a 110 hp engine (C150). I'm in south Florida and am considering buying a plane with high time engine. Thanks Marty

folks Have a friend who just bought a Bulldog (build in Scotland but originally sold to the Swedes) that has the entire panel and equipment list published/marked in Swedish. Anybody out there who could possibly translate the stuff for him. The DAR isn't going to license it until the placards...

Hi, I am looking for a notcher that will cut keyway notches for a #6 rivnut with a key. I have tried every tool store online that I can find. No one seems to have them. I was outbid on a couple of used ones on Ebay and haven't seen any since the last time. Any help would be appreciated. email: ...

A student has an Archer II that has a red arc painted on the glass of the tach between 2150 and 2350 RPM. The POH makes no mention of a red arc. I'm thinking that either the tach came out of an Arrow (which has a red arc in this range) or some A&P confused the Archer with an Arrow and painted it...

After years away from it, I'm in a position where I can think about getting an airplane. I want to be able to travel with it, not just fly around the patch. I'm a PP-ASEL with about 170 hours in 172/Warrior/Tiger-class aircraft. I'd love to build, but my work has me away from home constantly, so...

Agree that you have to get back in the air and it s/b w/ a CFI. My 1st post-crash flight was in a new plane as the previous one was destroyed. Thx, {|;-) Victor J. (Jim) Osborne, Jr.

Just a warning for those who might consider purchasing Rapco dry vacuum pumps. Make sure that your engine does not leak oil. If there is any chance of an oil drip onto the Rapco vacuum pump it may eventually stop working. The connecting shaft is vented to air. But if some oil drops on the shaft it...

Looked in the obvious places on the fire wall inside and outside, by the pedals and in the belly. Where did they hide it ????? Thanks for any hints......

Is it true that an experimental aircraft can not be instrument certified by the FAA? David (KORL)

Bought myself a new headset for Christmas. I expected it to just be a new toy, but I was amazed at the increase in understandability. Lets face it, like many pilots looking retirement age in the eye, my hearing ain't what it used to be. Previously, when I got into a plane, I would automatically...

I have a couple sections on my Cessna that I would like to repaint. Could anyone recommend a book or guide for doing this? Specifically I'm looking for what help on whay type of stripper and paint to use, primer requirements, ... Thanks, Steve

I have a 1977 Piper Archer II with a KX-170B. and KI-214 indicator. I understand that the G/S receiver is built into the KI-214. If I replace the KX-170B with a Michel MX-170B will the G/S and Localizer work OK with it ? As an aside I am a Radio Amateur who has built and operated radio...

We put a fresh battery in our plane for the winter starting season even though the old one was in good shape. On advice from several sources, I put the old one on a Sears trickle charger as a spare. The charger claims to sense the battery condition and be suitable for long term connections. I...

My autopilot (2-axis, Piper) is hooked up to my DG, via a "heading bug." Otherwise, it's just a wing leveler. I've been told that this autopilot has the capability of being connected to my VORs. Can anyone outline what's involved with connecting the two? Thanks! --

Wanted to ask the group for their pro's/cons between the Cessna Skyhawk and Piper Archer 180. 1) What particular year models are more desired than others 2) Which one is easier to re-sell, and which one has more profit potential? 3) Easier to maintain?
