Sun N Fun '07 Redux by
Jay Honeck
Mary and I just returned from 6 glorious days at Sun N Fun in
Lakeland, FL, where we enjoyed the most amazingly perfect weather I
have ever seen at such an event. The nights were cool (almost cold
the first few nights) -- perfect for sleeping -- and the days were
sunny and warm. No humidity, no...

"We're with the FAA" by
Chad
I've read lots of stories about it and if finally happened to me, I had
my first ramp check. I flew into South Haven, MI (LWA) today to get
fuel, it's self serve, and as I was fueling two men wearing ID's around

read what their...

Overly restrictive business flying requirements. by
Wily Wapiti
Hello.
I thought I'd bounce these off the group and see what people
think. These are the UniRegs at the University of Wyoming for flying
your own or rented plane on University business. I feel, as a
low-time private pilot that they are overly restrictive, but I thought
I'd see what the sage...

Voltage Regulator replacement by
kontiki
Has anyone replaced their Delco Remy voltage regulator (the old
mechanical type for a 50 amp generator) with a new solid state
type by Zeftronics? CHief aircraft sells them, just wondering
what anyone's experience was.
Mine is old, acting up and charging too high. In the old days I

Airgizmo and Garmin 496 Install Saga by
Marco Leon
Apparently, installation of the Airgizmo panel dock is quite the touchy
subject up here in the Northeast. I know this has been a subject of a
number of threads but I figured I'd relay my experience so far. Since I
would like it integrated with my Garmin 430 and 340 audio panel (for
the audio out),...

Navion Parts Availability by

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...

turbo stc? by
The Weiss Family
Has anyone heard of either a turbo or supercharger STC for an IO-360?
In particular, an IO-360-A2B?
It seems that there would be a HUGE market for a turbo upgrade.

Aircraft storage by
#1ACGuy
How long can an aircraft sit unused before the fuel gums up and contaminates
the fuel system?
For instance, if I leave a motorcycle sit too long without a fuel stabilizer
added to the gas, the gas goes bad after a few months and gums up the carbs.
The entire fuel system is affected after a while....

I'm considering buying a 1978 Cessna 152 that the owner is leasing to a
flying club. I'd continue to lease it to the club and learn to fly in
it. (I have 3 1/2 hours now.) I'd hope that plane to earn enough money
to cover most of its maintenance and insurance, including a new engine

Flying without FAA medical or insurance by

Last year, an acquaintance of mine turned 85 and stopped flying and sold his

sharp as he used to be. He flew a lot right up until he sold his plane and
he was quite experienced. I suspect for private reasons that he had...
