Hello. I thought I'd bounce these off the group and see what people think. These are the UniRegs at the University of Wyoming for flying your own or rented plane on University business. I feel, as a low-time private pilot that they are overly restrictive, but I thought I'd see what the sage...

I am considering a new Piper Archer - anyone had experience with these and what have you found? Is new worth it if you can afford it? thanks Raj

We got closer this time. We actually had our verbal offer accepted. That's progress (for this, the 2nd offer we've made on an Arrow). Things were going well into the weekend. I'd tweaked the prepurchase agreement from the seller, made plane reservations to fly out and see/fly/touch/smell the...

Apparently, installation of the Airgizmo panel dock is quite the touchy subject up here in the Northeast. I know this has been a subject of a number of threads but I figured I'd relay my experience so far. Since I would like it integrated with my Garmin 430 and 340 audio panel (for the audio out),...

Has anyone heard of either a turbo or supercharger STC for an IO-360? In particular, an IO-360-A2B? It seems that there would be a HUGE market for a turbo upgrade. Adam PP-ASEL

I'm considering buying a 1978 Cessna 152 that the owner is leasing to a flying club. I'd continue to lease it to the club and learn to fly in it. (I have 3 1/2 hours now.) I'd hope that plane to earn enough money to cover most of its maintenance and insurance, including a new engine in a few...

"PiperSeneca@" wrote: What is the parts availability like for 1940's vintage Navions? Not bad at all. One guy just bought the contents of the Navion factory. From what I've heard, the people that bought the paperwork are trying to make the parts considered bogus, but I don't think they have a...

I may have the opportunity to ferry a Piper Pacer in the next 10 day Can anyone provide the requisit v-speeds?

Last year, an acquaintance of mine turned 85 and stopped flying and sold his airplane. He just figured that he had done it long enough and he wasn't as sharp as he used to be. He flew a lot right up until he sold his plane and he was quite experienced. I suspect for private reasons that he had...

Hi! I am a modeler and am starting on a 1/4 scale piper cub. I am going to build the J3P model with the Lenape 3 cylinder radial engine. Currently have a Saito 3 cylinder engine I am using on the model. Does anyone know of a J3P anywhere that is flying and I could photograph? Thanks! Cliff

I'd like to update the database for my Apollo GX55 GPS. $120 for the raw data is bad enough, but Jeppesen also wants $150 for a writer. The datacard is a PCMCIA card, so wouldn't it be possible to work with it with a plain old laptop or a $10 reader from Best Buy? I'm wondering if someone has...

This is a very lengthy but worth reading post. For the purposes of possibly saving someone's life or at least preventing serious injury to their wallets, I am posting below the text of an e-mail I sent recently to someone who had advertised a Cessna in the San Diego area. I was looking for a super...

Mary and I just returned from 6 glorious days at Sun N Fun in Lakeland, FL, where we enjoyed the most amazingly perfect weather I have ever seen at such an event. The nights were cool (almost cold the first few nights) -- perfect for sleeping -- and the days were sunny and warm. No humidity, no...

Do any of you have experience repairing a slight, but annoying, leak in a wet wing tank? Mine's on a 1980 182Q.
