Afternoon all, I am a proud NAvion owner and looking for other like minded crazy pilots. :) Shoot me an email of your location and type, pictures are great too. If you know of any laying about forlorn at an aerodrome near you, please send me pictures and locations (contact data if you know the...

I bought our Piper Archer just over a year ago from a Californian owner and flew it home to it's new base in Ohio. On the flight home, we noticed on long climbs that the fuel pressure fell off from an indicated mid scale reading to about one third scale. In level cruise the indicated pressure...

I don't know if this has been covered before, but how much is everyone paying for their hangars and what is provided? Mine is a T-hanger with a dirt floor, free electric and manual doors that are a bear to open and close. The hangar is damp of course, but not too bad. When we first secured it...

I have a 1978 C182 Q. I recently experienced my alternator turning off and the high voltage light coming on. I cycled the switch (1/2 master) and got it to reset every time, however, the interval between episodes varied. I had the Voltage Regulator and the Alternator replaced (new) and flew a...

Does anyone know if the Skycatcher will be IFR certified? It doesn't appear to be from what little I've found at the Cessna web site. Matt

Is there a fuel dip tube available for the Piper Warrior II (specifically, pa28-161)? When I flew the 172 I used a fuelhawk dip tube to measure how much fuel I had. In the warrior there are tabs in each tank at 17 gals but other than that it seems like guesswork. I sure would like to find a way...

Hello everyone, I finally installed an EDM700 on my '68 235C. What a big change in the way I operate now. Can I get some feedback from you O-540 drivers on what you have seen as "normal" in EGT & CHT? I am specifically interested in knowing about those at your run-up, on climb out, at cruise, and...

FYI: I am helping a 210 owner install a FlightCom 403 stereo panel-mounted intercom. After straightening out some shielding/grounding/wiring/input-level issues, and while testing the unit, I noticed that the music quality through his headphones sounded very "tinny", was obviously lacking in bass...

I miscalculated my health benefits. I expected to have to pay cash for my medical and for some diagnostic tests that I needed to have to get the medical, but my HMO ended up picking up all of it. So I have a signficant surplus in my healthcare flexible spending account that I must spend by the end...

I am a new owner of a '79 Mooney that has a Garmin GNS 430 GPS installed. I am needing to get a link or directions to the Jeppesen site that tells about how you can get the database updates. I have done some Googleing and am not having any luck. Thanks in advance!! Jon Kraus PP-ASEL-IA Student...

Hello, My name is Kate and I'm a journalism student from Ryerson University. I'm working on a story about how Cessna Caravans perform in icy conditions. I'm interest in speaking to anyone that fly's this model ( 208B). I would like to speak to you about how the de-icing process works. And about...

I recently made an inquiry to Garmin regarding their new requirement that GNS 430/530 owners pre-order the WAAS upgrade prior to November 2005 to guarantee the $1500 price their marketing department has been stating for the past 2 years... Keeping in mind the WAAS upgrade for these boxes are...

Howdy, I have an Aeromech 8140B20 encoding altimeter with a KT76 transponder. Mode C is intermittent with ATC. Is it more than likely this is an altimeter problem or transponder problem? Sometimes when it is not reporting, i cycle the transponder off then back on and it starts reporting again. That...

Feb. 24 - The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association on Tuesday provided initial support to four Massachusetts pilots - all AOPA members - facing a lawsuit filed by a few residents. The suit alleges that the noise signature from the aerobatics performed by the pilots caused significant harm; they...

Over some time the bolt holes in the link between the horizontal stabilizer and the trim mechanism have been elongated. To get rid of the play, I consider installing an oversized bolt. The original bolt is an AN5-7. I am confused about the designation on oversized bolts. Can anyone help ? Thank...

Why not wire one ear cup for your aviation and the other cup for ham operations? If there are no connections then you should be able to hear both. Use a hand held mic for one or the other. -- Cy Galley - Bellanca Champion Club Newsletter Editor & EAA TC www.bellanca-championclub.com Actively...

Anyone got one of these units? http://www.garmin.com/products/gnc250xl/ It seems to combine two very useful things (a VFR moving map GPS and a Com radio) into one compact unit. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993

Hello, I'm interested in hearing from people who have 'real' first-hand knowledge of the true costs of owning an older (early 50s) V-tail Bonanza. I've heard all the horror stories about the outrageous costs; but the thing is that I heard the same stories before I bought my *last* plane (a 1963...
