Christen Fuel Pump troubleshooting by
ShawnD2112
Hello, folks. I'm fishing to see if anyone else here's had the same problem
I'm having.
I've got a Pitts S-1D with a Christen wobble fuel pump. The action on it
has gotten so stiff when priming that I fear it's close to locking up. It
still primes fine and the fuel pressure's good when the...

Bicycle's as baggage by
Mike Noel
I'm looking for an airplane capable of carrying 2 persons and two mountain
bikes around the country. I'm thinking a C-172 could probably fullfill the
mission with folding Montague Mt bikes stored in fabric bags, but that 2
regular Mt bikes would be awkward to store even with the wheels...

Ben Jackson
I inherited a Scott Executive Mark III portable oxygen system. I can't
find anything on the web about this unit. Even Scott's own site ends
with the Mk II. The 3 is a boxy unit that straps into the back seat as
an armrest.
If anyone has a manual for one of these I'd love to get a scan or fax

Low vacuum at idle by
Chad Lemmen
The service manual for my 1968 Cessna 320F says the vacuum regulators
should be set with the engines at 1700 RPM. If you want to set the right
regulator it says to idle the left engine and set power on the right
engine to 1700 RPM. At this power setting you should have 5" of suction
on the vacuum...

Lightspeed with Foggles question by
Rod Madsen
I just bought the Hood Lamb and had to send them back. They simply would
not clamp to my David Clark H10-13.4 which have a narrower than usual band.
To their credit, they acknowledge this problem with DC's and suggest
friction tape to increase the girth of the band. Didn't work...to

KI209a, glideslope = VNAV? by
Snowbird
OK, DH is leaning towards the "replace #2 OBS with something more
modern" option.
Which brings us to the question:
I know the KI-209a will accept input from a GPS.
Is that just for the left-right course deviation indicator, or
is it set up to accept input to the glideslope as well, for use

Why a static port? by
Paul Mennen
I can understand why pressurized aircraft need static ports,
but why do unpressurized airplanes have them? I wouldn't think
the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of
the airplane wouldn't differ by that much. (When I open the alternate
static port in my C185, the altimeter...

Not a Cessna, but I updated my Cherokee Six panel to a T configuration at the

existing panel cutouts. As I recall, the cost over the new gyros was about 2
hours of additional shop time. The advantage of using the...

Grimes Model A Nav light repair by

Greetings!
I have a '58 Champ undergoing a 'ground up' restoration after a serious
groundloop. One of the Nav lights was damaged when the wing tip scraped the
ground, and I'd like to repair it if possible. The lamp-holder is really the
only thing broken; the wires were torn out, and there's not...

Hi all,
Several of us have been renting twins are seriously looking into buying one.
We have been renting a Seminole but are looking at a Seneca. I
understand the Seneca I is to be avoided. The Seneca II is better and
the III is the best in the batch. Our budget appears to be no more than
200K,...
