Has anyone reading this group had to degauss a firewall? My Warrior took a lightning strike last July while parked, melting a bit of the propeller tip and magnetizing much of the plane forward of the firewall (so that the compass always points towards the propeller). The engine has now been...

We have had TIS in three of the planes in our partnership for a while now. I consider it a safety of flight issue. When it is working the number of unseen planes around you it displays is amazing. I really don't want to fly without it at this point. Unfortunately is seems that the data is not...

If property is rented to a Nevada organization that is exempt from sales tax (Indian Tribe), is the renter required to pay use tax in the amount of the unpaid sales tax?

On my first flight in the Aztec with a fellow pilot who was doing the flying, he stated to lean using the EGT (a recently installed Electronics International digital single probe device)to circa 1300 and no higher than 1350. The aircraft does not have a CHT. I am totally new to operating larger...

I have recently bought a 1960 Aztec with generators. Although these have been overhauled recently, i'd rather have alternators installed. I see InterAv have a generic kit. Has anyone installed this before? What is the time to install, and any issues with particular brand? Any feedback would be...

As I work my way through the sampler order with which Wal and y'all helped, plus some gifts, I am beginning to contemplate box purchases in the next few months. Bought a good sized cooler during the fall clearance sales so I have a place for such purchases to land. I do not know whether vendors...

Sorry for the delay this year, but extremely busy since returning from Oshkosh.. Pictures are at http://www.myairplane.com/oshkosh2004 This was our first time doing a booth, it was 7 days of terror and fun at the same time. Our booth had a crowd in front if it constantly from the time the doors...

Two possible causes, Newps... One is a broken wire(s) going to the instrument panel where moving the wire around to work on the lugs causes the broken ends to abrade and make better contact for a while, and then they reoxidize... This is high on my suspicion list since it is the same two wire...

Did you notice the blurb in AOPA EPILOT that Exxon has, and has been having, deposits of grey crud in their bottles of oil, but they say it is just fine and there is no need for them to replace it, or to pay to tear your engines down... Besides, there is a lot less of the crud in this months...

BTW, due to cross firing of the prefrontal lobes I kept calling the Unison LASAR ignition system the SlickStart... Slick Start is their solid state 'shower of sparks' box that can be added to most any magneto system for improved starting... About $300.. I have flown a plane with one and it worked...
