***CAUTION -- SHAMELESS PLUG WARNING *** I've been promising this one for six months -- and we have finally finished the Mustang Suite! We took our most popular suite (it's popular because it's our smallest, cheapest Jacuzzi suite) and loaded it up with new wall paper border, carpeting, window...

Well I learned when doing a pre buy be sure you take it to the avionics shop and have all the avionics and instruments checked out before you buy my mistake only thing that was not checked at the pre buy waqs the avionics. I was more concerned about the engine and airframe. I had the...

Thielert has announced a diesel engine in the 230-HP-range, covering the gap between the existing 135- and 350-HP models. Great news, IMHO, since this is the kind of power many of the planes we fly need. First target for certification seems to be the 182. Time frame is 2007. Nice! -- Thomas...

I currently own 3 early model Cessna 182's (2 182A's, 1 182B) I'm interested in having one or two of them set up to tow banners. They are currently jump planes, and I'd like to use them part time to advertise my business. Can anyone point me to a company that makes the tow hooks for the 182's, and...

Hi everyone. I have a leaning question. The POH for my 152 says that the mixture should be leaned to best power after passing 3000 feet in the climb. However in other places in the POH (and the Lycoming site) they say not to lean when at 75% power or higher in cruise. My question: Is the...

I've got a friend with a Garmin GMA-340 audio panel with the marker beacons. It's got a high and low sensitivity switch on it for the marker receiver. When it's on High Sensitivity, everything works OK. When it's on low sensitivity, he can only pick up the outer marker. We pulled the antenna off...

Hi! I'm thinking about an upgrade of my Century 21 with the GPSS module from Century... Until now I couldn't find anyone who is using it?! I would like to get a real world reference and experience report. Anybody out there?

Hello, My father and I are looking for a place that sells featherlight airplanes. The make-it-yourself kind. We are just wondering if anyone has a new or used one to sell or where we can find one to sell. We have seen them at teh Weirs Beach in New...

Seems like this idiot posting things for sale that always has his name starting with A but everything else the same has taken over the group. Anyone got a strategy for filtering his crap out, so no time is wasted on it? I have to admit that it is starting to **** me off! :-) -- Jim in NC

This is actually a split off from the "Rotating Injectors Among Cylinders" thread. I prefer not to distract that thread any. I must say that I find the evidence presented in support on LOP to be uncompelling. Although it is certainly appealing at the gut level, it is a far cry from scientific...

I hate to keep bugging this group with my bizarre Cessna questions but it repeatedly proves to be a good source of information. History; Since I got my '61 C-172 with an O-300D several years ago it always ran smooth but had high oil consumption. Before the second annual several of the cylinders...

My transponder can't be seen by ATC anymore and I'm trying to narrow down the cause and plan for the repair. If it can be done simply by removing the radio and taking it somewhere to be bench tested, that'd be much easier for me. It's some vintage of a KT76. A couple of months ago, the altitude...

One of the members of my club has proposed that we add TKS de-ice to our two 182s. Apparently, such a system is to become available later this year. My reaction at first was negative. After all, in our near-NYC location, the utility of such a tool is limited to a few months a year. Surely we...
