REPLACE GO-300 ENGINE WITH O-300 ENGINE IN CESSNA 175 by
nucleus
Has anyone here done this?
I am considering the acquisition of a C175a with a runout engine
and replacing the engine with an O-300 engine. Is there a kit for
doing this?
Does the engine mount have to be replaced? I am guessing
the airframe is just a C172 airframe. Am I wrong? Does the
cowling...

cost of ownership by
The Weiss Family
I know this has been asked a million times, but I have to ask just one more
time.
I would love to know your real-world costs of ownership for your fixed gear
single.
A 172, cherk 180, etc.
I'm trying to figure out how much renting I have to do before it becomes
plausible to own.
Any advice as to...

Lycoming O-360 ring gear by
[email protected]
Hey all. Now that my holiday travels are over, I'm planning to do some
maintenance to my Cherokee. The ring gear has gotten chewed up over time, and now
will sometimes not disengage while the starter is rolling it over. Worn/broken teeth,
etc. I was pretty sure it was a 122-tooth model, but...

the aircraft annual even if it is a few days after annual due date? In
other words annual was done on 4/29/07 and now we are into May. What

In-Flight Engine Failure by
O. Sami Saydjari
Well, it happended. I have owned the plane (Piper Turbo Arrow III) for
3 months and the engine failed during climb out on Tuesday. Altitude
was 4400 feet. Luckily, the engine did not entirely quit and I made it
to an airport within 10 miles. TBO was 1000 hours away. Dissapointing!
When we cut...

Cost to install IFR GPS in a basic IFR 172? by
C Kingsbury
Googling the group yielded little so here goes...
1979 172, overall average condition with mostly original radios and
wiring (one RT-385 recently replaced by a TKM radio, M1 Loran from a
few centuries ago)
The Cessna 300 ADF has gone flaky. The box tests fine on the bench
which suggests a wild...

Fuel Prices and their Effect on Your Flying by
Jon Kraus
I did some checking around my area today (thanks www.100ll.com) about
what the fuel prices are, and was surprised to learn that my home base
(KTYQ) is charging $4.47 (the highest in the area), and that includes
our based-on-the-field discount. That is up around $1.00 from a little
over a year ago...

GNS 430 reception problems by
Kevin Clarke
Hi,
I'm looking for folks that might have a similar experience. Recently
upgraded the panel to include a GNS 430 and replace one of those old
NARCO all in one VOR instruments plus an old NARCO radio.
Anyway great upgrade. The GPS function works wonderfully. Filing /g is
the best. The NAV...

Lowrance 2000C by

Progress Report: I have had this unit for about 2 years, replacing

The unit developed a problem in the first 3-4 months, I called

Radio Replacement by
Jonathan Goodish
I have (2) KX170B radios which I'm very happy with, except that one of
them has been diagnosed with a bad MHz crystal on the comm side. The new
crystals are apparently no longer available from Bendix/King. The
avionics shop apparently scavenged a replacement from a used radio they
had in the...

PC power using aircraft ground by
[email protected]
I run a Motion LS800 for my EFB. I use a DC 12V to 19V power
converter to power my LS800 since I have a 12V aircraft system.
To minimize the number of wires, can I use a single wire to run +19V
from the power converter to LS800 and connect the ground from power
converter to LS800 thru the airfram...

Least Expensive Plane To Buy and Own by
Michael Adams
I am looking for some input on the least expensive airplanes to own. I've
heard so many horror stories about the $5000 or even $15,000 annual, or the
seat adjuster that costs $600, that I thought I would get some input on this
before buying. So I'm looking for low purchase price (used), low...

Avgas price and the light plane ownership by
M
Anyone worries about what the rising avgas price to the light plane
ownership in the U.S? I have absolutely no doubt that the average
avgas price will surpass $5/gallon in about 5 years. We'll probably
see a significant drop of GA flying, along with a big drop of the value
of used airplanes. ...

Best replacement for old Cessna navcom? by
Colin Kingsbury
Because a topic like this never gets too old ;)
1979 172 with original Cessna (RT-385 IIRC?) radios, the NAV frq display on
the #1 box failed and the partners now finally agree it's not worth
repairing.
I'm contemplating two options:
1. Replace with a slide-in replacement like the TKM series,...

Legal to Rent Yak-52? by
W[_3_]
Is it legal for a sport or commercial pilot in the US to rent a Yak-52
aerobatic plane for unassisted flight cross country? I guess these can
only be certified currently for exhibition/airshow. Is that likely to
change given they are still manufactured in Romania?
