Caution - InterAv "Spike Guard" Capacitor by
MikeremlaP
Okay guys, I cut the cap open.
See foto at

No foil that I can see. In fact, I'm not sure how this thing works. I thought
the idea was to create maximum surface area.
I probably should have buzzed the negative terminal to the can to see if

skyav8r
Howdy,
I have an Aeromech 8140B20 encoding altimeter with a KT76 transponder. Mode C is intermittent with ATC. Is it more than likely this is an altimeter problem or transponder problem? Sometimes when it is not reporting, i cycle the transponder off then back on and it starts reporting again. That...

consider installing an oversized bolt. The original bolt is an AN5-7. I am
confused about the designation on oversized bolts. Can anyone help ?

Cessna 172 with Wild Fuel Gauge Needle by
jls
Anybody know the reason for this? The needle on the pilot's side is
stable, but the needle on the co-pilot side swings wildly, especially when
the tank is full. A float moves the needle around the dial. Why doesn't
it stay still and be good like its brother?

How to Avoid Being Grounded. by
betwys1
I pulled my plane over to the wash stand to lose the fly squash this
evening.
It was a little harder than I expected, to pull the 20 yards or so.
So I used a gas bottle to fill the tires, and put the bottle in the
cockpit while I pulled it back to the hangar.
That's when I noticed the...

Hey everyone. I had a radio guy adjust my sidetone from the radio, and he

Cessna Glare Shield Cover by
Al Gilson
The glare shield in our 64 Skyhawk is original, therefore not the most
pristine to look at. Is there a cover available, such as the carpet
covers you see for autos/trucks, available for airplanes?
Yes, I know I can get a $200+ plastic cover rom Selkirk or others that
covers the entire glare...

Cessna 172 F Weight and Balance by
[email protected]
My partners and I recently purchased a 1965 Cessna 172F.
The POH has weight and balance data that you would expect, except that
it focuses on moment only, gives no arm figure. Usually no big deal.
BUT, we recently bought a 396 and it will do the weight and balance
data for you if you enter the arm...

Hello,
I'm interested in hearing from people who have 'real' first-hand
knowledge of the true costs of owning an older (early 50s) V-tail
