We are based in NE Ohio and looking to overhaul another Archer's engine soon. We had a bad experience recently with core charges from Lycoming and have decided to do a field overhaul on this bird. We would like to fly the bird in so we are looking at companies within a reasonable distance of NE...

Well, after only putting 12 hours on our Aztec since our annual, we've got a bad prop seal on our left prop. The prop shop is overbooked until OSH is over, so we've got it scheduled to go in Aug. 3. (One side benefit is that while the prop is gone we'll have time to put in our new side windows!...

The ADF in our Cessna 172 isn't working right. Yes, we can receive the audio but the indicator only swings through 180 degrees on the indicator (from 180 to 360) and doesn't point in the direction of the transmitter. We tried repalcing the indicator with no improvement. Can someone...

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...

This spring, my club bought a 1973 200 HP Arrow with about 500 hours on the engine. Shortly after we bought it, we had to replace several cylinders and one piston (I'm not sure of the details of why they needed to be replaced). The oil pressure always indicates at the low end of the green...

I heard recently that a 1965 Comanche 260 is the fastest of the Comanche 260s (by about 5 nts). Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone have a favorite year for Comanche 260s in terms of performance or capability? -Sami -- Cyber Defense Agency, LLC - Defending Critical Cyberspace O. Sami Saydjari

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...

I have a 1995 Piper Archer which is starting to get loud inside as the door seal is getting all worn and cruddy. I looked on the web to buy new door seals. I did not realize there was such a plethora of products out there. I am thinking about the Avtek air-squeeze product and wonder if anyone...

Needed to get night current for an IFR flight next week. Since I have not flown at night for quite some time, figure to give me an adjustment period as day transitions to night. Video includes slow flight while waiting for the sun to set, watching the sunset from 3000 feet and two landings at...

In the SF Bay Area, I've become desensitized to shop labor rates in the range of $90/hr. Plus or minus $5, this seems to be the going rate at PAO, SQL, RHV, or SJC. That's after you finally get your plane in the shop, which can take a day or two or seven. I recently had a very favorable...

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

Are there any pilots out there who fly frequently to New England from New Jersey. I am not a pilot yet, but have taken some lessons. I love general aviation and small planes. I travel often to New England from NJ (Teterboro area) and I would love to find a friend or partner who also travels to...

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...

P L E A S E get me a stock number. If I can get that, my local Sam's might be able to order it from distribution. Sams in Concord, CA used to have 15-50, I know they have 100. I'll look next time I'm over there, and write down the number. Paul
