Does anyone have a pin out diagram for a Com 11A? Thanks! Kurt

Hi all, If you live West of the Mississippi River, may I humbly suggest that you make a stop in Iowa City, IA (KIOW) on Saturday, July 26th to partake in our annual Oshkosh fly-in pool party? Each year we serve FREE food, refreshments (adult and otherwise), music, and hangar flying at poolside...

I just got the first pictures of my (nearly) completed aircraft. They're on my LiveJournal at http://jmaynard.livejournal.com/336142.html . -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net Fairmont, MN (FRM) ...

I am getting close to this event. I was wondering how those that have already retired keep an airplane. I am fortunate that I have a moderately priced hangar, reasonable (this is relative) fuel for my area, and perform owner assisted annuals. But, I am concerned on keeping the flying going and...

Many 1960-61 Cessna 210 new unused NOS parts being auctioned on ebay now. Some of these parts may fit other year aircraft as well. Includes very hard to find and/or expensive nosegear doors, main nosegear ass'y, cowl skins, nose cowl, cowl flaps. Much more coming soon including rebuildable wings...

I have a KX-170 that's *sometimes* just not working right in my VFR Cessna 150. For the same price (about $1,300) I could get either A McCoy MAC-1700 as a slide in replacement for the 170b -or- An Icom 200 as an additional radio (with the flaky KX170b as backup). Any recommendations?

I just got a wing jack from Aircraft Jacks and I'm trying to figure out if I'll be able to safely use just one jack to get just one main gear off the ground. The jack instructions assume you will use multiple jacks and a tail weight to simultaneously lift both wings in a level attitude. Is it...

Hy, Just to inform you, a very nice French historical aircraft to sell at : http://www.planecheck.com?ent=da&id=8986

A fellow pilot/friend and I have been knocking around the idea of doing a 2-way partnership on an aircraft next summer. I have had my ticket since 1998 although I have only 150 some odd hours total. My friend has about half that. Relatively speaking we still consider ourselves newbie "students" but...

Flyers, This is just a quick flying story some might be interested it. My plane ('71 Cardinal RG) just came out of annual with a newly over-hauled prop and hub. The mechanic and I test flew the plane around the pattern.

Am I allowed to fly my plane to a near by airport in order to complete the aircraft annual even if it is a few days after annual due date? In other words annual was done on 4/29/07 and now we are into May. What do I need to do to get permission and how long can this extension be. Would this be...

Well, I get to wait another week for my airplane. It's going in the paint shop this Friday, and will be finished and tested next week. Yeah, I know I've waited two and a half months already, and another week isn't that big a deal...but I'm *really* getting antsy. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC ...

My Terra radio installation instruction says "Porper attachment of any antenna to the aircraft surface is of primary importance. Carefull clean all paint and corrosion off the mounting surface and apply an anti-corrosion treatment." Question 1, does "clean all paint" mean strip all paint to...

The A/C in question is a 1974 Bellanca 7ECA, re-engined with an O-320 so it's effectively a 7GCAA. It belongs to the Offutt AFB Aero Club and has seen very little use, often sitting for weeks at a time until a week ago when I began taking dual in it 2-3 times a week to get my tailwheel...

Where is it dictated that certain states/cities require ethanol in their auto fuel? I've been to the EPA website and get 1000 hits on ethanol, but none which show me the requirements. Thanks Dave

Since all I get now is flakes that don't want to even split 1/2 the fuel on a flight together and do not want to help with General Maint when using MY plane for their solo personal use and leave the tanks near empty when they park it I regret to inform all that the ride share in my plane is no...

My '74 archer developed an intermittent problem where the aileron would have a 'soft stop' at one end of the control throw. I thought a mechanic might have left a rag or some such under the floor that moved around and sometimes prevented full control deflection, so I removed the floorboard...
