Starter question by
A Lieberma
Went flying today. Go to crank the engine for start, nothing. Turn the
key, got like a jiggle of the prop. Turn all electrical things off,
figuring the battery drained, and then started just the alt and bat, same
thing, jiggle of the prop. Tried once more, and got the prop to turn and
fired...

Bendix Ignition Switch Rebuild by
Mike Spera
I have had my TCM-Bendix 357210-1 ignition switch (1974 Piper Cherokee
140) apart twice in the last 14 years to clean up the contacts. I
remember once seeing a rebuild kit consisting of the back plate and the
3 triangular pressed metal contacts. Might have been from an old
Wag-Aero catalog. I...

Rino
Hello,
I'm a new member here. I hope you are all good.
I'm thinking of buying a new airplane and I'm looking for somebody who's experienced with Cirrus SR22 and Piper Matrix. I'm flying usually at a max range of 300 NM with my wife and sometimes with 4 POB. I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

KX 170B Replacement by
Jay Somerset
My two KX 170B NavComs are getting a bit tired. The tuning gears have been
replaced, and after several years are now getting really stiff and hard to
turn again. Apart from the mechanical parts, the radios both work just
fine.
I am looking at three alternatives; having them repaired again,...

Missing flight plans by
Paul kgyy
Twice in 2 days I've filed VFR flight plans only to have FSS unable to
find them when I called on radio after takeoff. One was filed through
Duats at 9PM for noon next day (and left at noon). The other was filed
with a briefer at Terre Haute at 10PM for 8AM next day (and left on
time).

Piper Cherokee wing root seals - just an fyi by
Bob Noel
In the past I've seen people wondering why it was so hard to install new wing
root seals on cherokees. Well, today my mechanic did the job in just about two
hours. No doubt it helped that he's done it before.

'50s Cessna Door Handles by

A couple of days ago, there was a thread in here about '59 C-175 door handles
being replaceable by '60 DeSoto or somesuch handles. I'd like to know where you

questions on business use of my personal aircraft by
Bob
For those of you using your plane for business...
1. What is the tax deductable rate for hourly use of aircraft (e.g.
for cars it is $.36 a mile I believe)?
2. Is it better to own my aircraft personally (to prevent the
aircraft being owned by the company in the event of a lawsuit) and
then have...

"Your plane is overdue". I confirmed the number, but told them I

Cirrus vs Mooney by
Charles Talleyrand
As I understand it, a Cirrus has a much more roomy cabin, 100 lbs higher useful load, no retractable landing gear to maintain, is 10
kts slower, and costs $100,000 less. Why would anyone buy a Mooney?
Heck, a new Cirrus costs less than a recently used Mooney. Who here would pick a two year old...

Piper headliner (was: simple and cheap tricks for your plane) by
Prime
We have a Cherokee 140. I want to know if anybody knows the simple
and cheap trick to clean our headliner. It is actually in fine
condition, but it has a LOT of brownish spotting on it, apparently
caused by moisture (you know, condensation, leakage, etc. - not
that OUR plane leaks!). It looks like...

Pitot heat element failed. Options? by
Peter R.
Just this past week my Bonanza V35's pitot heat element failed. I had a
mechanic look at it to determine if the cause was power/wiring related or
if the element itself had failed.
Of course, it was the element itself that had failed, which apparently in
the Bonanza's case means a new pitot...

Franklyn vs Continental vs Lycoming: which is better? by

Gee, how's that for an incendiary topic? grin
In my ongoing quest for a plane, I've narrowed down the types I'm
looking at. Currently it's down to Stinson, Pacer/Tripacer, Cessna
170, 172, 177, and 180, Maule M4, Musketteer, and Bellanca Cruiseair.
Naturally I need to reduce this list a bit...

Annual Off to a Good Start by
Jay Honeck
Although I am starting to resent the whole annual inspection process.
More on that in a minute.
All compressions on our O-540 are 78 or better out of 80, so that's
always a relief. The oil filter was clean (as always), and the exhaust
system is sound. Those are three big-ticket items off the list...
