I've been flying Boeings for the past 35 years and been "out of the market". What are CFI's/CFII's getting these days?

Happy Holidays to the group. I would like to know more about the turbo Dakota. I understand it was built for only about a year around 1979-80 and has a TSIO-360 200 HP engine on an airframe similar to an ArcherII. Why only a year? Is it considered a desirable airplane? -- Best...

Hello all, Our old panel mounted (yes very old) Apollo 820 GPS by IIMorrow appears to have kicked the can. When turned on it goes through it's usual sequence but eventually emits a red warning along with the message "GPS unable to compute position". There appears to be reception of satellites...

I got an old NARCO LRN-840 LORAN-C that I want to reanimate. Sadly I only got the unit itself, no manuals or cables. What I need is a pinout of the rear card-edge connector and informations about what voltage it requires etc. If someone has a manual as pdf or any other electronic format it would be...

I bought a set of Rosen sun visors for my Skyhawk about 6 years ago. I hit some turbulence that slammed my head against the cockpit ceiling and my headset smashed the visor. These were about $250 for the set. Now I want to replace the broken one, and (of course) Sporty's will ONLY sell the pair...

I have reached the point were I want to upgrade from my initial student flight bag. It is one of the Jeppeson ones you get free with the private pilot material purchase. It basically has a few outside pockets and a big interior chamber with no dividers. Anyone have any good or bad...

Anyone have one available that they'd like to share?

Hello ! We are a small group of pilots who operate a PA 38-112 Tomahawk II. On the last anual inspection we were told that next time the three universal joints in the aileron control linkage need to be replaced. They are located under the instrument panel. We got a price quote from Piper, they...

If you know please e-mail me or answer here. I can't find it listed anywhere. Trip Farmer

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.

I was speaking with a somewhat smug fellow the other day who claimed older C-182's (1968 that I'm looking at) had inefficient wings and that the Continental would not make it to 1500 hours; 1300 if I'm lucky. (The one I'm looking at has 61 SMOH; about 5000 total; new paint, interior, etc.). As...

Hey all... just got official confirmation that my KT76's power output is way low.... classic sign of weak/dying/dead cavity tube. Just looking for suggestions on what might be a good, cost-effective replacement. I'm tired of futzing with transponders so I'm pretty sure I want a solid-state...

Hello fellow flyers, My apologies in advance if this is boring. This is my very first attempt at making a video of any kind. Give it a look and all comments are welcome. BTW, I already know I didn't hold the centerline on lift-off (embarrassed look). ALieb noticed that right away. I had a...

Hi all. I'm a current student pilot(PPSEL) and I have been reading up on the new sport pilot/LSA stuff that has come about. My interest, like most potential pilots, is to eventually own an aircraft, but that will be several years down the road. However, the new Light Sport Aircraft class caught...

A friend of mine inherited a Terra TX 760D in the Citabria he recently bought. The radio is now giving him trouble. While Terra is out of business, Star Avionics in CHA works on these and can get parts. He wants to know if anyone has any experience with these radios, and if so, are they worth...

We're planning to fly into West Yellowstone airport (WYS) in a Grumman AA-5 Traveler with stock engine. The landing and takeoff will be about 200lb under gross and we plan to take off in early morning. Densitiy altitude is of course a major concern. Has anyone flown to that airport in similar...

I have a Hoskins "Symbolic Displays Inc" strobe with White lens and need a Red lens to replace it. The strobe is mid 80's and was a replacement for the older rotating beacons. It is a Hoskins P/N701620-1. Works great just need the Red lens that was available back then but very hard to find today....

Hey all... awhile back I posted querying on spark plug replacements, but I have no actually looked at the plugs I currently have. I thought they were Champions, but they're actually Auburn ER400 SR-88. From the chart he http://tinyurl.com/arqcv (warning: PDF at lycoming) those plugs should...
