Our 2nd Nav/Com on our '79 201 is a KX170B. It has went on the fritz and will cost .7 AMU's to repair. We were looking to maybe replace it with a KX155 (14 volt), preferably w/o the glidescope. Does anyone have an idea on where we might find one for a reasonalble price? Any advise would be...

Folks, I'm hoping you can help me diagnose an odd EGT gage behavior. Background: 1965 Aircoupe with Continental C90-16F engine (has vacuum pump). Plane based in N. California so freezing temps not a factor (pre-heat not needed nor used). Has both a CHT and EGT on different cylinders, with the...

Does anyone use a PDA to record in a small spreadsheet the departure airport, your destination airport, and the Hobbs & Tach readings when you land? If so, what would be the brand and the main features of the PDA? Thanks

Well, in three days of flying a long cross country to West Texas from Wisconsin, my autopilot went nuts in the roll axis- wouldn't capture flight director or heading bug info, and just tried to do uncommanded turns. Altitude and pitch worked fine. Suspected a bad roll servo- could be driver...

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/skycraft_landing_lights.htm The pictures don't capture all the nitty gritty details of the installation. A couple of things to note: 1. The wiring does NOT go inside the wings, but is rather routed inside a flexible conduit that gets attached to the wing ahead of the...

If you have one, how do you like it? Do you ever notice that it does not return to the same indication when the airplane returns to the same heading (hysteresis error)? IOW, if you turn from 090 to 180 and back to 090 according to the HI, would your VCC come all the way back to 090, or would it...

Well, after only putting 12 hours on our Aztec since our annual, we've got a bad prop seal on our left prop. The prop shop is overbooked until OSH is over, so we've got it scheduled to go in Aug. 3. (One side benefit is that while the prop is gone we'll have time to put in our new side windows!...

I understand that if I had a CHT, and it had a redline (I don't have one at all, probably because the PA-24 doesn't have cowl flaps) I would need to keep my CHT or get something certified to be a primary CHT. Are there any rules regarding EGT? The one I have is pretty useless. It's an analog...

Still shopping for my first bird. Curious as to how much oil usage is considered "normal"?

I recently became a first time aircraft owner and I'm quickly realizing that with the uneven pavement on the ramp to my hanger, and the 2600lb empty weight of the plane, I'm going to have to resign to getting some form of aircraft tug. Looking at the Sporty's catalog, there are two types listed,...

I know everyone has an opinion... and I'd like to hear some of them! I'm a first time buyer, and I've come across a 172P for sale at a local airport. Its a 1981, 4000TTAF, 1700SMOH. No GPS, standard avionics (digital radios, 720CH, ADF, Audio Panel, Xpndr) No damage history and a current annual...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd throw this out for discussion and see what comes from some of the experienced people on the list. I'm helping out some at a local school. The owner of the school is a REAL penny pincher. He scrimps and saves anywhere he can. He'd reuse oil if he could (he already...

So many times we hear of poor service from some our supplies. This is the time to tell about excellent service and immediate turn around. My problem was with my intercom from PS Engineering. I had a constant noise in my headset. After one phone call and an email I sent the unit to PS Engineering on...

I discovered when I bought my plane that pretty much every aircraft tire I had ever seen was underinflated. The manual calls for 42psi in the mains on my plane, and if you can see even the slightest sidewall squishiness they're down in the low 30's and at the end of a month they're down below...

Hi All, Is there some software that will record your piolts log elcetronically, Free or shareware. Ideally it will compute leg lenghts (as crow flies from ICAO airport codes) If anyone can tell me it would be a great help. Yours hopefully,
