The TIS traffic audio (e.g., "TRAFFIC NOT AVIALABLE") has quit on my GTX 330/CNX80/MX20 airplane. It worked fine until recently and the configuration set up on the 330 or 80 may have been inadvertently changed. The data displays correctly on the MX20 and the audio tests correctly via the GTX...

I have a Cessna 152 with the O-235-L2C. When I don't prime enough and have a failed start, I frequently hear a "clicking" sound from under the cowling after I stop cranking. I think it may be coming from the battery. Is this the battery contactor opening/closing? It does not seem to be a...

I'm looking for the small white plastic knobs (cabin air, etc.) for the panel on a C-172 C model (1962). I've looked on Plane Plastics, Spruce, etc. with no luck.

Needs to fit a 74 Piper Cherokee. Part number 79590-03 (copilot's side). Prefer copilot's side but will consider pilot's side. Also will consider a unit with a good base but broken seat back. Looking to spend $250 or so. The bone yards want a LOT more. Got one quote for $875 in "as removed"...

What is a good rule of thumb for how much hull insurance should cost for a new seaplane pilot who buys a mid - 60's LA-4? 4% or more of hull value? Thanks! --Marshall S.

Anyone know what the Slim Pickins quote "I'm gonna get them doors open if it harelips everybody on ear Creek!" means. I have just watched the movie (again) and have always wondered it it has any hidden significance. Regards, Jerry

Marzo, I should have read your article sooner, I have been bit by the SCUMBAG! I am in a legal proceeding that is against Howes and Global-Air.com. I need to know if you would give me more information and would you stand by them legally? Also it would be great if you were in Illinois, but if not...

I finally pulled my Mitchell (Edo-Aire?) vacuum DG and sent it off to Bernard Ducasse for overhaul. For those following the new vs. re-new debate, I'll let the group know how the overhaul turns out. After removing the DG, I covered the exposed ends of the vacuum hoses left dangling in the plane...

During the process of ordering the 337 information for an aircraft I"m looking at, under "Number of Pages" it shows "Registration - 140" and "Airworthiness - 66". What do these figures mean? - Mike
