Calling all owners that leaseback a plane to a club or FBO or ?? I have found that financers offer different loans depending on the who uses the plane. For a club they want 10 years or less but for private they will finance up to 20 years. Maybe I just need to keep looking. I don't quite...

I am thinking about relocating from Illinois to Ohio with my plane. Are there any suprises I need to be aware of like hidden taxes, state fees, etc regarding aircraft ownership? Bob

Several years ago I developed a software program to read engine RPM based on the sound that the engine makes. I now have a new version of this (free) software available which is much easier to use than the old verison. It runs on any Pocket PC, or any Windows laptop. You can use it to check the...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd throw this out for discussion and see what comes from some of the experienced people on the list. I'm helping out some at a local school. The owner of the school is a REAL penny pincher. He scrimps and saves anywhere he can. He'd reuse oil if he could (he already...

Hi r.a.o guys, Thru a local ad I found a 1/6th share in a 1969 Cherokee 140 (hershey bar wing). I've done some minimal due diligance on it and it looks, well, like an old 1969 rental. The nose-wheel cowling is pretty worn (looks like it's been glued several times) and the paint is original & drab....

Hi does anyone have information,more than I have with regards to diesel plane groups ,message boards, any group any language any country And this plane http://tinyurl.com/x70c or in French http://delvion.free.fr/

Hey folks, I'm trying to decide which is preferable, a relatively low time plane with missing logs or a higher time of the same model with all logs. The first is a 65-year old plane with 1800 ttaf and 346 tsmoh. It's missing the airframe logs from 1986 and older. The other has about 3000 ttaf...

Last month in "GA News" there was a brief mention of a system that allowed you to turn on a power plug by calling a pager or cell phone. I was interested in it for controlling the Tanis heater on my plane, but a friend at work was describing needing something similar for his cottage to turn on the...

"He lives on two acres of fruit orchard in Grass Valley with his wife Gail Allinson, a Sheltie... Um Jim, you'll have to change that line if you want the women's vote. ;) Be prepared for everything to be taken out of context. Sounds like a real circus going on out there, Flint, Huffington,...

I understand that if I had a CHT, and it had a redline (I don't have one at all, probably because the PA-24 doesn't have cowl flaps) I would need to keep my CHT or get something certified to be a primary CHT. Are there any rules regarding EGT? The one I have is pretty useless. It's an analog...

We are contemplating adding a weather uplink system and was wondering what experience you have had on the WxWorx or Anywhere Wx. We are leading towards the Anywhere Wx but wanted to get some comments on both. Thanks!! Jon Kraus '79 Mooney 201

The message below was taken from AOPA website: ---------- Protect your freedom to fly by commenting on the ADIZ today. On Wednesday one AOPA member put up this challenge to his fellow pilots: "Let's see...we've got 400,000 AOPA members, 650,000 certificated pilots...and just 5,000 responses to this...

Is anyone here in Australia? I'm looking for someone who can verify a company for me. They're called Aviation Salvage at the Bankstown Airport near Sydney. Their official address is: Aviation Salvage Hangar 505

Well, in three days of flying a long cross country to West Texas from Wisconsin, my autopilot went nuts in the roll axis- wouldn't capture flight director or heading bug info, and just tried to do uncommanded turns. Altitude and pitch worked fine. Suspected a bad roll servo- could be driver...

In other words, the volume of the music audio has to be fairly high, or the Muse will cut out during softer parts of a song. The audio output device needs a compression circuit to keep audio levels more near a constant output. There are portable cd players out there that have such a...

I've had an opportunity recently to purchase a Piper PA28-140- absolute creme puff cosmetically... but the problem (and reason for the good cosmetic condition) is that the plane has been sitting in an enironmentally stable (dry, 50-80 degree ambient temperature) for almost a decade now. (For those...

I recently became a first time aircraft owner and I'm quickly realizing that with the uneven pavement on the ramp to my hanger, and the 2600lb empty weight of the plane, I'm going to have to resign to getting some form of aircraft tug. Looking at the Sporty's catalog, there are two types listed,...

Hey folks, I've been sitting here thinking about our upcoming get together in OSH, and I realized that not only don't we know what each other looks like, but -- worse! -- we don't know what each other's planes look like! This seems to be a major failing of this newsgroup, if you ask me. I...

As a non pilot just intrested in this group temporarily, you may flame me for this post. The guy who said you don't scare the... um... 'pax' has it exactly right. I hear what you all are saying about fatigue and those are all real good points. But here's the reality... if that had been me, I...
