Replacement Cessna 152 panel by
Paul Folbrecht
Where can I get one? I looked at places like Aircraft Spruce and found
nothing.
My panel is cracked and chipped in numerous places. It looks like crap.
I know you can buy replacement panels without the holes drilled for
chearp. I can take care of the holes.

Cessna landing light switch by
[email protected]
I have a C-172B that has the dual landing lights in the wing. The first
position on the pull-out light switch turns on only the taxi light (at
least I assume it is for taxi as it is aimed so low) and the next
position turns on both (landing and taxi). Does anyone know if there is
a legal...

Cheap OX recomendations by
Guy Byars
On a trip last week, we flew for 3 hours at 10,000ft. Afterward my wife
complained of fatigue and at times during the flight she complained that she
couldn't "get enough air". I am thinking that supplemental OX for her would
be helpful. I checked the Aerox systems and the other systems, but...

Burglary by
NVArt
Had the dastardly happen a couple nights ago. Garmin 196, two David
Clarks, eyeglasses. In my hangar, too.
Looks like a pro job. No vandalism apparent. Plane was unlocked with
key in ignition. And left that way by perp(s).
The question: Would any of you have an A&P do a thorough check of the

Stuck cowl flap cable by
Jim Burns
I've got a problem with a cowl flap cable in our Aztec.
The other day when landing, I opened the cowl flaps to 1/2 on final, then
full open after landing. I noticed when going from 1/2 open to full open
while on the ground the left cable seemed stiff. I tried closing the flap,
then reopening and...

Rigging a Cherokee 6-300 by
Dave
My maintenance shop rigged my control surfaces, at my request. The
plane 'seemed' to have been flying in a bank, despite having the AI
centered and DG on the same track.
They found that the flaps were the biggest culprits and adjusted them
accordingly.
When I flew it and took it up to cruise,...

Big bad ugly first annual by
ncoastwmn
I'm not sleeping after getting the report grounding my Luscombe 8A
after its first annual as my plane. All the advise about a pre-buy
inspection is true! I thought my plane was too to do that at a long
distance. (My plane came from Georgia, I'm in California). The outboard
five feet of the wings...

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

I am considering purchase of a nitrogen fill system. I don't have power
at my tiedown, and filling the tires with a 12 volt portable compressor
is a pain due to having to park the car near the tire, move to the
