Hangar rent by
Kobra
I don't know if this has been covered before, but how much is everyone
paying for their hangars and what is provided?
Mine is a T-hanger with a dirt floor, free electric and manual doors that
are a bear to open and close. The hangar is damp of course, but not too
bad.
When we first secured it...

FYI: I am helping a 210 owner install a FlightCom 403 stereo
panel-mounted intercom. After straightening out some
shielding/grounding/wiring/input-level issues, and while testing the

Fuel dip tube for Piper Warrior? by
TTA Cherokee Driver
Is there a fuel dip tube available for the Piper Warrior II
(specifically, pa28-161)? When I flew the 172 I used a fuelhawk dip
tube to measure how much fuel I had. In the warrior there are tabs in
each tank at 17 gals but other than that it seems like guesswork. I
sure would like to find a way...

Ham Radio In The Airplane by
Cy Galley
Why not wire one ear cup for your aviation and the other cup for ham
operations? If there are no connections then you should be able to hear
both. Use a hand held mic for one or the other.
