Comfortable 4 seaters? by
Paul Tomblin
Our flying club's insurance company is reluctantly allowing us to insure
our Lance, but they have said that they don't like 6 seaters in clubs. A
year ago they told us that anybody who flew the Lance had to put at least
3 hours in the previous 90 days or do a "proficiency check" with a...

Your Chance to Design a Fly-In by
Jay Honeck
Okay, so I've been "volunteered" to be on the board of directors of the
biggest fly-in event in Iowa City's history, the Eastern Iowa Big Kids Toy
Show, scheduled for May 20 - 21, 2006.
See us at www.BigKidToyShow.com (Yes, they made me wear a -- *sob* -- TIE
for the photos... It was awful! ...

Transponder problems with ATC COMS - Video by
A Lieberma[_2_]
I was passenger on a $100 hamburger run.

Note, pilot is fresh on getting her VFR ticket and wanted to get some
ground ops experience so she asked me to come along. She also thought
it would be cool to capture her comms with ATC so I brought the
recorder...

OSH Sleeping by
Douglas Paterson[_2_]
OSH First-Timer (hopefully!) here. Assuming I can get the plane out of
annual in time, I plan to make the trip!
I'm curious about lodging. I snagged a room at the Super 8 on the field.
Outrageous prices, of course, and I also wonder if I'm missing an essential
part of the experience by not...

Nervous about Rotax by
Jay Maynard
I spent a day and a half at Sebring looking at aircraft. As I expected,
there are only a few that fit what I'm looking for. Of those, only one (the
AMD Zodiac XLi) uses a Continental engine. Everyone else (and, indeed,
nearly everyone else building an LSA period) uses Rotax 912s.
I'm not fond of...

Looking for the first plane by
Cecil E. Chapman
I won't be getting it for a couple of years and whatever I picked would be
an older plane. It will be for (or slightly before) my 50th birthday.
I wanted to ask what the group thought about a Cherokee 140 as a first
plane? In talking with my fellow CFI's most of them think I would find the...

Lowrance 2000C ??? by
Tri-Pacer
I just looked at one of these jewels yesterday and I am impressed. Is anyone
using one? How do you like it. I'd really like to hear pro's and cons. I'm
presently using a King Skymap IIIC and could probably sell if for what a
Lowrance 2000C would cost.
Thanks

Companies Allowing Employees to Fly by
Steve - KDMW
Question...
I have to do a lot of regional travel for my company and, due to the
work we do, most of my work is actually at airports. I've asked my
company if I can use my personal aircraft for a lot of this travel and
they denied my request due to what the company percieves as their
liability in...

Flat Tires? by
Jay Honeck
One of our least favorite jobs (thanks to our "Fancy Pants" with their
stupid, under-sized access doors) is airing up the tires on our Pathfinder.
I pull the plane back and forth while Mary fishes around for the stupid
nipple. If you want to hear a woman cuss like a sailor, just stop by...

Which plane for 5 small pax? by
Adam Aulick
I have the opposite problem from the usual "four seats doesn't
mean four pax" problem -- I'm looking for an aircraft with typical
four-place load (and price) to carry five small passengers and
minimal baggage. What aircraft are out there on the used market
(including hombuilts!) which can safely,...

Of clocks and learning curves... by
Jay Honeck
So I picked up this nifty Davtron digital electric clock/timer at Sun N Fun.
It's exactly the same model I had in my Warrior (Model 800), and I found a
good price for it. (Roughly 4 times what it's really worth -- a bargain in
aviation!) Our wind-up clock had become sporadic in cold weather, and...

Digital OAT by
Jim Burns
Does anybody in the group have a digital OAT indicator?
We've just put a new single piece windshield in our plane and moved the
standard OAT gauge to the pilot's side window. Now we've decided to put all
new 1/4" side windows in and rather than drilling a hole through a brand new
window, I'd like...

Depreciating aircraft parts, dealing with taxes, etc. by
Andrew Gideon
Most owners, I assume, have corporations which do the actual owning and
which provide a liability firewall. But how are taxes managed?
The issue I think I'm facing is we pay money into the corporation against
future events like overhaul, repainting, etc. These monies add up. But
since this is...

Question for Jim Wier (or other electrical guru) by
Mike Rapoport
In my 1974 Helio Courier, the avionics bus is powered by a contactor that is
activated by the avionics master switch. There is no circuit protection
between the contactor and the avionics bus. The wiring between the
contactor and the bus consists of two 12ga wires. There also doesn't appear

Temporarily removing fuel and replacing it into the same aircraft by
B A R R Y[_2_]
Does anyone know of a FAR that prohibits removing fuel, avgas in this
case, and then putting it back into the same plane? The plane is flown
for part 91 service only.
Examples:
1.) The plane is 50 pounds overweight for conditions. 10 gallons is
siphoned out into a clean, single-purpose,...
