Check out their warranty. It's short and not worth anything for long, or to a successor owner. And if you need help from them at Unison by phone, skip it. They're not interested. And besides you'll be punching buttons on the phone trying to get to a warm-blooded human being until you're...

Does any one have experience (good or bad) with the paint shop located at JKA? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, Little rant and warning. After talking to the Factory Rep at Sun-N-Fun I recently sent my NSD 360A HSI back to Century Flight Systems in Mineral Wells Texas for service. The compass card would spin for no reason then be fine for a while. I called and talked to the support folks and they...

Our club owns a 1978 172. The little tabs that hold the pilots side air vent in the tube have come out and been lost, so when you get up to speed, it just pops out (makes the right seat nice adn cool this time of year, but will be a problem in winter). Any ideas on easy fixes or finding the...

Folks, I am posting this on behalf of my friend, a chief pilot of an airline working for JMC ( http://www.jmc.nu ) peacekeeping force in Sudan. They operate a gamut of russian aircraft and require US-made VHF radios, antennas and intercoms for them. Since Sudan is on the US Dept. of State list of...

Any one have any sales advice on piston twins v.s turbo prop twins. I'm currently in the process of aquiring a charter buisness that operates 2 navajo aircraft. I've heard some people say that the days of the piston twin in commercial charter work may be coming to an end. Now I don't know if...

Well, I can tell everyone is out flying -- just two additions to the gallery this month: - Badwater Bill Phillips sent a few new pix from his ultra-light flying days... - From Ohio, Eric Rood sent pix of his '45 Aeronca 7AC Champ... See 'em at http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm Want...

Are there any clubs or partnerships for fixed wing or helos available at HEF (Manassas, VA) or nearby? Thanks, Bryan

Anyone know the current manuf. recommended TBO for the Contenintal A-65? - Mike

Hi all, Just thought I'd share a marvelous experience. Over the years I've been in and out of several old single engine cessnas, (c150 and 172's). This morning, (June 29, 2004), I was invited to try out a 2003 Tiger; an

When I first heard about this plane I thought it would be cool idea -- a new, two-person touring plane that will cost about $150K with good avionics. But the more I learn about it, strictly from reading magazine articles, the more I wonder. For example: 1. Fingertip brakes next to the throttle....

What does everyone use for cleaning dirt/grease up on landing gear? We're not satisfied with soap/water due to the fact the brush/scrubber/sponge can't get to all the nooks and crannies. A hangar neighbor suggested brake cleaning fluid. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking for ideas on how to best clean the belly of my plane. It's a Cherokee and is pretty greasy/grimy/dirty underneath. I'm hoping to find something I can buy from a non-aviation source (like a supermarket or auto parts store), and it would be Great if I didn't need any water. TIA for...

Thanks for the note. I spent about $100 for a dingus that connects the cell to an intercom, it sounds like this works just as well for about $75 less! (Legal wrangling aside, of course... I'm sure you only call using 1.9GHz frequencies anyway) Mike Noel wrote: Just thought I would pass this...

Good day all, After reading some older posts with regards to aircraft purchasing allot of discussion seems to come up about Complex and High Performance aircraft. My question is this? Is a 172 RG classified as a Complex aircraft? and a 182 fixed gear classified as a non-complex High...

The mid-50's version of the Piper Apache PA23-150 / PA23-160 POH (actually the Owners Manual) that I've been reading lists "Alternate" Gross Weight figures for both models of 3800 lbs, compared to 3500 lbs which is standard. Does anybody know under what conditions you can load it up to the...

I'm considering adding a GPS/comm and as a result need a new indicator for what will be the #2 nav, a Narco 12D. Which Narco indicator is usually used with the 12D? Does anyone have a Narco 12D nav/com driving a King indicator? From looking at wiring diagrams, the KI-204 or KI-209 look like they...

Feb. 24 - The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association on Tuesday provided initial support to four Massachusetts pilots - all AOPA members - facing a lawsuit filed by a few residents. The suit alleges that the noise signature from the aerobatics performed by the pilots caused significant harm; they...

CAN YOU HELP? OBJECT OF ENQUIRY: I'm seeking proof that either/both the transatlantic pioneers Sir John Alcock and Sir Arthur Whitten Brown stayed at the `Red House', West Byfleet, near Weybridge, Surrey at or around the time of their flight in June 1919. If proof can be found, there is a strong...
