Hi all, Did 165 hours this year (actually over 10 months) in the 172 and brought it into annual a couple weeks ago. Decided to overhaul the prop, governor, alternator and rework a ton of stuff. Wound up going with Sensenich Propeller Service in Lancaster, PA and am glad I did. The prop came in...

I decided to check the vernatherm on my Archer's engine because it is running on the high end of the green during summer flights. I had already checked the sending unit and guage and found it to be OK. I then removed a 1" hex cap from the top left of the oil filter adapter on the accessory case. ...

It's part of flying, and there's nothing you can do about it. . . perhaps. You're trying to get to your destination, or maybe you're trying to get home. You look at the weather and no matter how you plot out your time, direction of flight, and other options, you're staying put! Blessing or...

As far as I can tell, the only residential airpark in NJ is Alexandria. But at Sun n' Fun in 2003, I was told that another was being developed. So far, however, I haven't been able to find anything on it. Does anyone know of other airparks in NJ?
