General aviation is under attack: Many 'forces' would like it to go to the dust bin of history. Aircraft charter services, fractional ownership etc is growing leaps and bounds and as such, more than EVER, FBO's are LOADED with NON FLYING persons waiting to be picked up for a charter or...

I've posted twice before on the problems I have been having with my Narco radio's: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.aviation.owning/browse_frm/thread/981307ec4df68cc6 I've decided that I'm going to pull the radio and the connector tray and run new coax from the radio to the antenna, after...

G'day from Australia Help please. A friend of mine has "shortened" his Sensenich 74 x 50 propeller and is in need of another. Could anyone suggest as to where we could look for one.

I have a 1995 Piper Archer which is starting to get loud inside as the door seal is getting all worn and cruddy. I looked on the web to buy new door seals. I did not realize there was such a plethora of products out there. I am thinking about the Avtek air-squeeze product and wonder if anyone...

Hello - our 1972 skyhawk with original engine (2300 hrs) is in major overhaul. The crank was sent out and found to have a crack and is supposedly unusable. The mechanic quoted $3,000 for a used replacement and $4,000 for new. Engine is Lycoming O-320-E2D, getting upgraded to 160 HP + powerflow...

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...

Our Mooney has a 500 hour recurring AD for inspecting the Impulse Coupler. While they have it off they will inspect the points and condensers and replace worn ones. Our left mag was out of time by 5 degrees so they had to remove the magneto anyway. Jon Kraus PP-ASEL-IA '79 Mooney 201 Jim Burns...

I am stumped as to what could be causing thing and am hoping someone here can help me out. A couple of flights ago I noticed that my EGT gauge started fluctuating. Not fast but up and down a couple needle widths every second or two. Then on the next flight I noticed that the tach has started as...

When doing steep turns, I noticed that there is a little resistance to pitch changes on the yoke. It seems it binds a little in the bearing through the panel. Does anyone have a suggestion for the type of lubricant I could use on this? Do they make anything for this purpose?

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

Found this on JA Air Center's website the other day: http://shorterlink.com/?R7L145 This solves a problem we(my brother and I) have encountered in our 67 Skyhawk. We were thinking about fabricating some type of panel mount for our Garmin GPSMap 296 but just couldn't come up with a good...

I recently bought a Garmin 296 and found I can not upload route or data from the 296 to Flitestar. The Garmin 295 worked flawlessly. I have the serial cable and the USB cable. Neither one will allow this transfer. Does anyone have any better experience? If not beware...I wouldn't...

The interior is finished. The work was done at Southern Avionics' new shop at Mobile Downtown Airport. http://tinyurl.com/gj5kt It took 3-1/2 weeks and, according to their manager, went 90% over their labor estimate. He is somewhat in shock about how long it took--it was their first small...

I am moving to Madison, WI later this year and have heard thru the grapevine and on the internet that new hangars are being built at the Middleton, WI airport (Morey Field, C29). Is this true? Are any available? The airport folks referred me to the city of Middleton, but my calls have not been...
