Is there a doubler kit for the repair? This is the bulkead that holds the rudder on and also that the tailcone screws on to. 1962 Cessna 182E. The cracks are around the area where the rudder stops hit the screws mounted in the bulkhead. I hope that I don't have to buy a new one and a doubler can...

Hello, I'm wondering if its legal to put a 2nd artificial horizon in the plane as a backup if it is not certified? We may want to put one in the plane as a backup... but just wanted to know if we need a certified unit or not. Thanks, -dr

Flyers, For absolutely no reason, except that I want it, I have been taking Multiengine lessons (including Multi-Instrument and Commercial). The flight school has a Piper Seneca I (PA34-200) circa 1973. It fly's like a flying Bulldozer on Codeine (sp?). It's a beast...really. The controls...

Does anyone on this wonderful forum have the pinouts for a GLS-350(Collins Glideslope). Just bought it and need to hook it to my KX175 on the bench and check it out........Thanks!! John Prince N3DR

Hello community, imagine you consider byuing an older airplane, e.g. a Piper from the Pa-28 Arrow series: is there an age (or a year of birth ;-) you would not exceed? If yes, for what reason (e.g. may be that corrosion-protection was not usual before that year, or that copper was so expensive,...

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 to...

I found out a few months back that we're affected by the recent Hartzell prop hub AD...requires an eddy current inspection on the front half of the hub within 50 hours TIS then every 100 thereafter *or* annual, whichever comes first. So I made it to the prop shop this week and the good news is...

I'm a member of a local flying club which has ~30 members and 3 aircraft. A number of the club's long standing members have moved on in the last year or so and now its time for some of the other folks to step up and take the reins. One of the jobs that is open is the club maintenance officer. ...

Does anybody know if the .69 per statute mile as posted on eclipseaviation.com includes engine reserve? Also, going by the trip profiles on the website, it looks like the cost would be a lot higher on shorter trips... like the .69 is based on a max range trip, any ideas? Jeff A36

Does anyone know how to go about trouble shooting a Whelan strobe light? It is on a Piper Cherokee and is the "beacon" of the airplane. I had an extra bulb I don't know the status of and swapped it out, but still didn't get any emission. I'm thinking that its probably the unit, but I don't know...

Where can I get an old Scott Executive Mark III oxygen system hydro tested and serviced? I have one I'd like to buy cannulas for and fill but I don't know anything about its history. Portland, OR area would be best... If I have to ship that brick I might be better off buying new. -- Ben...

With my rebuilt Bonanza engine, I have been faithfully sending in every oil sample drawn from the 40-50 hour oil change to Aviation Laboratories for an oil sample. When I receive the report from the lab, I log it to an MS Excel spreadsheet in order to catch any trends. Currently I have seven oil...

I am slling my 1956 172, and will be in the amrket to purchase another plane. I am really leaning towards a 1968 - 1970 Arrow. However , have seen a couple of Archers that look interesting. Having a highwing I am partial to them - what are the thoughts on early 210's (money pits?). I have also...

I have just watched Dr. Strangelove (again) and have always wondered if the Slim Pickens quote "I will get them doors open if it harelips everybody on Bear Creek!" has any meaning other than the dialog. Any ideas? Regards, Jerry

I've been researching how to replace an old AC Spark Plug CHT probe in our Aztec. AC doesn't make them anymore and the replacement Rochester brand probe operates at a different resistance range requiring the gauge to be removed, shipped out and recalibrated. Not a fun proposition. Rumor, and a...

Anyone have any experience with the GNC-300XL IFR GPS/COM? Does it work well? Do you like the user interface? How is the screen? I want to have GPS IFR capability in my 172. What else will I have to install to get IFR cert for this unit? Thanks,
