Hey all, long time lurker with a question. I just got an offer for a 3 yr posting far-far away (half a world actually, just heard they got their first private aircraft). Anyway, looks like I'll be parking my beloved Velocity for quite some time - not willing to sell her and their are only a few...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2443812151&category=26428&rd=1 Sensenich W72CK-42 propeller in very good condition. Propeller was purchased new from Sensenich eight years ago and when it wasn't pulling my Aeronca 7AC through the air at unholy speeds it was in my...

Is there one? I would like a brighter landing light -- but I ain't paying $800 for it! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

I did this flight with a discussion in mind with another Sundowner pilot. He was saying best he could do was 95 knots with 2400 RPM in his Sundowner which I thought were awefully low performance values.. Discussion with him does make me think, am I getting the most bang out of my 180 ponies??? ...

First time for me going down to near ILS minimums by myself. Video includes how I brief my IFR approaches. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCk_RRMemnM Video I think does a good job on demonstrating why the runway may not be always exactly in front of you after wind correction angle considerations...

For those of you who do not have experience with etanol as fuel here it goes. Engine compression is a little bit biger than a gasoline engine. It burns a little bit more fuel. The big problem is that ethanol is corosive. It will eat even carburators specially treated for ethanol. What I was told...

I now own a PA28R201T, Piper Turbo Arrow III. It is a great plane (although, as some of you know, I have had more than my share of "challenges"). At altitude it cruises at 170 knots. Cost to operate is around $90/hour (figuring maintenance and such). My range requirement is 660nm with 45...

I've got somewhat of a liking for Ercoupes and its derivitives. They seem to be inexpensive to purchase, and somewhat cheap to fly and maintain. For a fairly new pilot, who just want to fly for the fun of it, are they a good bet?

I've just bought a '62 Cessna 172 with the Horton STOL kit and madras droop tips and have a question: My dad took it up for the first time (it's in WI, I'm in NC) and was curious about if these modifications change the "V" speeds in any significant way...? Apparantly there is no change in the POH...

I am thinking of fitting K2U gap seals on my Archer. Are they worth the cost ? Thanks for all input Jim

In the 'Would you buy this engine' thread, Peter R. said "With the glut of aircraft on the market" and John Galban said "with the airplane market heavily favoring the buyer these days," I have been watching the for sale adverts looking for a Decathlon, and seem to note a LOT more aircraft than I...

How are these things being repaired, with a 1"-wide aluminum sheet doubler sandwiched between the corrugated skins? That's what one of the IA's here suggests, other than replacing the skins, which would cost an arm and a leg. TIA.

I'm working with a Cessna 172A, which is the '59 model. It has a full panel with a pair of KX170s, and an ADF. It has been modified with the 0-300D engine which supports a vacuum pump. This is the 6 cylinder engine with Millenium cylinders. I don't think they add much weight -- but it would be...

....in anticipation for Oshkosh? I can't wait much longer, or I'll bust! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com

Hey all. I'm pretty certain I've convinced myself that my "bad starter" and/or bad ring gear are actually my battery going bad. With the skytec starter, it makes sense that at high-load, the voltage could drop enough so the starter solenoid cannot hold the gear engaged to the flywheel. It pops...

Anybody who's interested in how the new AvMap EKP-IV looks when mounted on a Cherokee yoke, feel free to look at: http://www2.ari.net/jmasino/private/panel1.JPG http://www2.ari.net/jmasino/private/panel2.JPG http://www2.ari.net/jmasino/private/panel3.JPG I can't say that I'm exactly over joyed...

http://www.scn.org/~bk269/gps.html This is an interesting site that explains why some pilots (seemingly mostly running Garmin-brand portable GPS units) are having trouble with losing satellite lock. So far I've not had any trouble with our new 496 (and I've never had any trouble with the Lowrance...
