Av Map -- An absolutely stunning color GPS by Jay Honeck
http://aviation.c-map.com/ProductInfo/AVMAP/ekp3c.asp Mary and I picked up one of these things in OSH, and I'm absolutely stunned that there has been virtually NO discussion of this almost unbelievable "hand-held" here on the groups. When my Airmap 300 started to get hinky, I started down the...

YAGQ (Yet Another Gyro Query) by [email protected]

Lightspeed -- Was:Oshkosh 2003 Redux by Jack McAdams
Everything was trimmed!! (-; Counterpoint to the Lightspeed QA 'issue': I have a 20XL and a 30XL. Both have performed flawlessly from the day I got them. Maybe I'm just lucky, but that never happens! To be fair, I don't listen to music in the air so I am unqualified to comment on the audio...

sump drain cleaning by Mike Noel
I have seen this discussed before, but couldn't come up with any hits on Google. The sump drains on one wing an at the engine are running very slowly, so I suspect they need to be cleaned. Also, the one that does drain well continued to drip after I had drained a fuel sample until I had...

Navion Parts Availability by Margy Natalie
"PiperSeneca@" wrote: What is the parts availability like for 1940's vintage Navions? Not bad at all. One guy just bought the contents of the Navion factory. From what I've heard, the people that bought the paperwork are trying to make the parts considered bogus, but I don't think they have a...

#2 OBS, what would you do? by Snowbird
Our #2 OBS is a KI-201C. Our avionics guy rescued it when it turned out to be inop after we bought the plane, by soldering in a $10 capacitor or some such, and it worked flawlessly for about 5 yrs. Now a 10 degree change on the OBS only produces half deflection. This time same avionics guy can't...

Static RPM in '74 Archer? by Bob Chilcoat
My partners and I have all noticed that takeoff roll and climb in our Archer is a bit long and anemic, respectively. The partner who has had a share the longest has said that normal TO RPM has always been around 2,250. One of us recently flew a Cherokee 180 (same engine) that climbed much better...
