The only oddity they found in the unit that may explain the hanging is soot in the air side of the unit. Since air flows across the unit I'm assuming...

(So far I'm OK-happy with this combination) I've been reading these newsgroups with Outlook Express since 1998. I'm familiar with it and I like it. Comfort...

As the 74 Cherokee ages, the engine baffling (0-320 E3D) is starting to show its age. Various places have been stop drilled over the years and it is time for replacement. I really don't want used salvage parts because they are likely in the same condition as what I have. The intercylinder...

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

As I promised Mike Granby, I stopped by Honeywell Bendix King's booth at OSH yesterday to pick their brains about their upcoming yet to be announced King KLN430 or what ever they will call it. I got very few answers but very big grins from the rep. When will it be introduced? Can't say, big...

Does anyone have plans or a link to info about making a baby flying bonnet? It's basically a bonnet that ties onto the baby, but is modified to provide hearing protection by adding foam/rubber earpieces and padding.
