KIP burn salve (Sorta Kinda OT) by Jim Weir
Back when I was working for the airlines, we used a burn salve called KIP (Kip Inc, North Hollywood CA) in both the airborne medicine chest and the hangar toolboxes. It was distributed by an outfit called Swift Laboratories (also in NH CA). It is the greatest thing since sliced bread and bottled...

Cessna 150 Price Outlook by Charles Talleyrand
Anyone want to guess the medium term price trends for a C-150? By medium term I mean the next five-ish years. My guess would be "more of the same" meaning increases of a few percent a year with mild year-to-year variations. The only effects I can see are whatever's left of the upward...

Cirrus and Lancair Make Bonanza Obsolete? by Potential Bo Buyer
Why is the market for late model V35B's and F33A's so flat. The economic climate (real and perceived) and 90's run-up have a lot to do with it, I'll acknowledge that. But there seems to be something else at work in this market. Are the Lancair Columbia and Cirrus SR22 substitute products for...

WAAS upgrade for your G1000? by Dan Luke
From the Cessna Pilots Ass'n avionics forum: "Just talked to Tom Engberg at Cessna about G1000 WAAS upgrade. He said that Cessna was waiting on Garmin to propose an upgrade to the pre 07 G1000s. He also said that it was going to take a change in the GIAs and that would be very expensive. This...

Piper Commanche vs Money 201 by O. Sami Saydjari
I am looking at buying one of two planes: a 1978 Mooney M20J or a 1965 Piper Commanche PA-24-260. I have test driven both and I like the handling of both. Both are about the same price. The avionics in the Mooney are slightly better. This is a tough choice. (1) Is there anyone out there that...

I have an odd ball digital replacement 170B that is no longer servicable. Since I already have the 155 and and moving map GPS, I need a basic, inexpensive, nav/com hole filller for it as #3 radio. I really like having it there. What type of used equipment is out there that is a slide-in 170B...

Club Management Issue by Geoffrey Barnes
First off, I'm not directly involved in this situation, but I am trying to gain an understanding on how other FBOs and flying clubs deal with something like it. One of our club members was flying our 182 -- which the club leases from the two gentlemen who own it -- and had what appeared to be an...

Wind/Solar Electrics ??? by RST Engineering
After much thought and ponderance, I've come to the conclusion that to electrify the hangar using Pacific Gas & Electricity (PG&E -- Pigs, Goats, and Elephants) isn't clever. By the time you get them to hang a meter ($5k), trench from the power pole to the end of the row of hangars, conduit romex...

Overhaul of 180HP Lycoming 0-360-A4M in a Skyhawk (C-172) by Andrew Gideon
I'm the "plane lt." for a skyhawk, based in northern NJ (KCDW), that's getting ready for its engine overhaul. What should we do with it? I'm curious what others have done, and how its worked for them. I've been doing some of reading of articles, but it's raised more questions than answers. ...

I am looking for an a/c, my first, to complete my training and to use for recreational flying. I am looking at 172s and a book I recently acquired (The Cessna 172 by Bill Clarke) suggests that this engine is to be avoided. I saw an ad in Trade-A-Plane by Factory Engines and the prices for factory...

PA28: Difference in constant speed prop vs fixed pitch by Nathan Young
I have a PA28-180 with a fixed 60inch pitch prop. I have always wondered how much faster it would be if it had a constant speed prop. I'm hoping someone with a PA28-235 (which has a constant speed prop) could look up their speed for a reduced power setting, for example 57% which would correspond...
