Can anyone tell me what the material is that the mid 70s Cessnas used

Survey: which business by
Scott Benger
What kind of business are you in and how do you use your owned
airplane for business as a productivity tool (not just a tax
write-off)? There have been plenty of discussions on this group about
tax issues, but few on the use of an airplane to make a business more
successful.
Me? Unfortuanately my...

The Weiss Family
I know this has been asked a million times, but I have to ask just one more
time.
I would love to know your real-world costs of ownership for your fixed gear
single.
A 172, cherk 180, etc.
I'm trying to figure out how much renting I have to do before it becomes
plausible to own.
Any advice as to...

Wacky instrument question.... by
Frode Berg
Hi all!
I am a co-owner of a 1968 Piper Arrow. (180 hp)
I am also a professional musician, and I play bass, both electric bass
guitar, and the big old doghouse upright bass.
Needless to say, I would like to be able to fly to my gigs whenever
possible, but fitting a double bass in a P28R seems like...

Need a web-based airplane scheduler? Look what I found! by
Bob Chilcoat
Like many airplane partnerships, we've wished we had a simple, web-based
system to schedule the plane, that everyone (four partners) can log onto and
which will keep a central calendar for us. We had looked at a commercial
"flying club scheduler" that would do everything we wanted, but it...

Anyone keeping a fabric plane in the open? by
Malcolm Teas
Ok, I know the received wisdom that a fabric plane shouldn't be kept
in the open and should always be hangared.
But, I started to question this after noticing several fabric planes
in the open at my home airport. They look in better shape than the
metal winged planes sometimes. I also know that...

third seatbelt in 172 by
The Weiss Family
I'm a new pilot (passed my checkride last Saturday). I have a wife and
three small children (all 6yrs and under).
Weight and balance would be OK to fit three kids in back of a 172, and it
looks like plenty of space (at least while they're young). Is it possible
to get a STC to install a third...

Running a repair shop by

Anyone here familiar with how to manage a repair shop?
Our flight school has 20 aircraft and a hangar full of mechanics, but
nothing much seems to get fixed. Instead, you'll often find the
mechanics working on lawn mowers, boat motors, and painting minivans.
I'm wondering how more professional...
