Please respond out of band with a valid email address. I have some questions I'd like to ask offline regarding the fire work if you don't mind. -- Jim Carter Rogers, Arkansas

I am considering moving to Florida, and I am wondering about the tax implications. I am currently in NY, and there is a high sales tax on used planes, but after that, no yearly taxes. I have owned the plane long enough that Florida won't be charging a sale/use tax. I was wondering if they have...

I am new to this newsgroup, and kind of new to flying. (Took lessons exactly 30 years ago = 53 hours). I am on my second lesson. Question. Trying to figure the cost of airplane ownership. Is insurance mandatory (Oregon resident) or is it strictly to insure MY airplane, if I wish. If mandatory...

Been using this stuff for a month now on the new airplane. So far, Iike it. It goes on like any liquid car wax. You let it dry for 20 minutes, then wipe it off. It wipes off a bit more easily than regular wax haze. The instructions say to apply it when temp. is below 85 F. and let it cure 12...

Does anyone know of a company/agent who will write a $1MM non-owner policy with $500K/seat rather than the typical $100K/seat? Matt

Would anyone know of a newsgroup about the russian Yak 18-T?

There has been much discussion about Home Depot fuel valves, homebrew wingtips, and the like. There has been much discussion about what is and what is not allowed by the regulations. Finally, somebody at the highest echelons of the FAA in Washington is trying to put some sense back in the...

Day 5 (Small Start) As I said in the “Day 0” installment, I ordered all new front seat belts and shoulder harness retractors from Chief along with the Airtex interior. The belts arrived and I proceeded to put them in. Since they are relatively easy to take out again, they did not have to be...

Now that I am an aircraft owner I wanted to do some training in my aircraft before I take it up into IMC. I have been doing the typical VFR types of drills on my own, stalls, slow flight TO/landings, I even shot some approaches in VFR but not under the hood to make sure all the gizmos worked. Now I...

Hello, I'm going through the paperwork to get a US "endorsement" (for lack of a better word) on my Canadian license so that I can fly N# aircraft. I understand that I need this paperwork done to legally fly an N# airplane. Has anyone gone through this and can point me in the proper...

Hello, Someone asked me today if there was an STC or something that would allow you to put an extra seat belt in the back of a Mooney. The Mooney has a bench seat in the back and this particular guy has 3 small kids (3,5,7 years old). Is it possible to add an additional seat belt? Whats the...

Long story: I'm looking at purchasing a 1974 PA-32-300 advertised as having a engine with 600 hours on it since new. After reviewing the engine logs and doing some digging online, I find that the engine was exported by Lycoming to Poland, where it was fitted to a PZL-104M. It stayed there for...

As I've been discussing in another thread, I'm evaluating a 1982 C172P for purchase. I was using $20k as the TOTAL cost of an engine replacement, but apparently that is high. I'd like to hear from owners that have experience with this. If I take it in at 2000 hrs, what am I going to pay (read: ...

Yeah, this is a conundrum... It has a bluish tint to it, which I assume that word is due to the active chemical molecule/element, as the usual liquid, lubricant stuff is normally clear... Now, the local FBO rented C-150's for decades, and for decades had stuck exhaust valves on a regular basis...

Hi All! Our 172 M is missing both, and one clamp assembly to hold it in place.. Any idea where we can get a coupla used ones? (we can paint to match our interior) Dave

Is there a list of flyins for the Dallas area somewhere on the web? Thanks Dave

The rep's at the RejeX booth said it is not necessary to wait the full 20 minutes to wipe it off as the directions state. Soon as it dries to a haze, wipe it off. Waiting longer makes it harder. They also said it may not work if applied over waxes or other coatings like Pledge. They also...
