I was looking through the Aircraft Spruce catalog this morning and stumbled across the Aerosheep Australian Sheepskin Seat Covers for .36 AMU's a pair. I though that this would be a nice addition to 43H's interior. Any of you folks go this route? Any other recommendations would be appreciated....

Anybody have any preferences between the clear fuel lube in a tube and the older, tan, waxy type you get in a can? I am about to service a poorly-accessible fuel selector valve and want to use the longest-lasting stuff. -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me.

Flyers, I would like to give a small PIREP of the new Lightspeed Zulu headset. I bought one for the Bluetooth capability, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it had much more to offer. The comfort and fit was equal or surpassed my Bose X. The ANR was about equal IMO to other headsets...

Does anyone have the L3 (ex BFGoodrich) WX1000+ Stormscope wiring (circuit) diagram or something of this sort with which an avionics expert can inspect the unit ? I have a friend, very good in avionics works and I need him to investigate why our stromscope gets intermittent power supply...

The airplane I fly (Mooney M20C) has a two place intercom. I have a Pilot PA-400 3BL portable 4 place intercom, to allow 4 headsets to be connected. I bought it used and don't have a manual. So, first, does anyone know where I can find a copy of the manual, either for purchase or online? It...

Hello, what year did the cessna 180 get 6 seats? Looking to occasionally carry more than 4 people out of a 1600 ft grass strip. Would a cherokee 6 be up to the task? The field is in KS, elevation 1400 ft asl, no obstructions on either end. Thanks, David

If you up there in the Cockpit, look out of the window and see an Lawnmower, don't be alerted, you are not crazy. They now have flying Lawnmowers. The same group of Hobby-ingenieurs also developed a flying doghouse and working on a flying Washmachine and a flying...

Hey folks, I'm buying an airplane with no electrical system. I want to outfit it with portable coms. I have a Vertex VXA-300 handheld with headset connector, a Lightspeed QFR Solo headset, and a David Clark DC10 headset. I haven't bought the intercom yet. Is there an easy way to get all this to...

What are you older chaps paying for insurance? I just turned 68 and am wonder if I'm going to have a hard time getting insurance in a year or two. I have a pretty simple plane (Tri-Pacer) and at the moment insurance is quite affordable. However I've heard some rumors that the insurance industry is...

I finally pulled my Mitchell (Edo-Aire?) vacuum DG and sent it off to Bernard Ducasse for overhaul. For those following the new vs. re-new debate, I'll let the group know how the overhaul turns out. After removing the DG, I covered the exposed ends of the vacuum hoses left dangling in the plane...

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...

Saw a Helio today. Bigger than a Courier with a turbine engine. Same setup otherwise. Pilot said it was one of two flying. It is a certified aircraft?

is Trade a Plane no longer on line?

Before I bought the plane,the owner had the generator removed and replaced with an alternator.Part of that installation included a circular cluster gage that has a voltmeter,ammeter,cht meter and egt meter.

Hello - Our Symtec pan heater has bit the big one, and we need a replacement. Unfortunately, the model we have is prior to them implementing the feature where you can detach a replaceable element from the mounting plate. And the mounting plate is secured to the block with some thermally...

I had a "mike stuck open" problem on my 1977 Piper Archer. The PTT switch tests out fine and seems that the KMA20 audio panel is the culprit. I worked all the front panel switches many times and the problem has gone away for the moment. The mike unstuck as I was working the Marker Hi Lo switch I...

Okay, here's the final tale of the tape: (These are GPS ground speeds, verified either in absolutely calm air or in two directions. Probably not a 100% perfect method, but close...) Without fancy pants: 136 knots at 23 squared. With repaired fancy pants: 143 knots at 23 squared. This is a 5%...
