High wing to low wing converts...or, visa versa? by Jack Allison
I find myself in the position of having just under 200 hours in Cessna 172s/152s (99% C-172 time), approximately 9 hours in an Archer, and in the process of making an offer on an Arrow. So, I'm well on my way from being a high wing to low wing convert. I'm wondering how many other folks out there...

Engine Failures per Million Hours by [email protected]
I was wondering if anyone has ever found any hard data on the number of engine failures per million flight hours. I am specifically interested in the 0-300-D, the engine that I fly now, and the 0-470 which I'm looking at buying.... Anything helps... Thanks,

Sold out by IFR by Mike Rapoport
I used to subscribe to IFR until I realized that they offered a much better rate to new subscribers than to existing ones. After realizing this, my four year old decided to subscribe :-). Today he recieved a solicitation from another aviation magazine. Obviously they sold his (and my) name...

Finding "Neutral" Position on Piper Elevator/Trim Tab by [email protected]
I have a '79 Piper Warrior with a floor-mounted flap lever/trim wheel and cover. The trim wheel has a metal needle pointing to a sticker on the cover to show "neutral". The only reason this matters is that setting the trim wheel/tab to neutral is part of the pre-flight checklist. The plastic...

Landing Lights at NAPA by Jay Honeck
In discussing our relatively new Skycraft landing lights (the cut-into-the-leading-edge-of-the-wings type) here the other day, I noted that I had just burned out a GE 4509 after around 35 hours. This surprised me, since, being out in the wing, I expected there to be less filament-killing...

RF interference issue again (esp. for E Drucker and Jim Weir and other RF wizards) by Snowbird
OK, we're still having our RF interference problem and our avionics guy pleads 'stumped'. Meanwhile we're going nuts whenever we need to get radar vectors for the ILS at our local Class D or when we depart IFR to the SE. Here is what we know 1) the problem is intermittant. occurs both at night...

Hi, We just had our annual done on our 172E, and there were cracks found in the forward horizontal stabilizer spar. The remedy is to apply Cessna Service Bulletin SEB94-8. Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of this bulletin online? I'm trying to get an idea of the cost of this...

Aviation applications for the Droid phone by Bob
I am thinking about a Droid phone update. Are there any aviation applications available for it? I suppose I could access airnav.com or aeroplanner, but there might be something already customized. You people that have one, comments? Bob

Sticking Lycoming O-360 valve again? by [email protected]
Hey all. Question about my Cherokee's O-360. When we first got it about 3.5 years ago, it was very low hours SOH, but almost 10 years. We had some sticking valves and bad oil consumption, so sent the jugs out to have the IRAN. At that time, in addition to the the IRAN, a few rusted valve...

337 to install a transponder? by Jay Honeck
I just purchased a Garmin GTX-327 off of Ebay (installed for one day, before the owner decided he REALLY wanted the Mode S GTX-330!), and am lining up installation. I was surprised to hear that a 337 form had to be filed for this installation. It's not a big deal for the avionics shop to do, but...

Cherokee Strut Lower Strut Seal Replacement Report by Mike Spera
Well, did my first seal swap on the 140 on all 3 legs. Took me and the wrench about 5 hours total. Completely slimy, dirty job. Remember, I worked in my father's body shop as a younger man, so I am no stranger to being filthy. This was worse. Being dirty WITH oil/grease involved is way worse than...
