Am I mistaken? I thought I saw a news-magazine segment on the Concorde that indicated it usually was fairly well booked. I believe the story line was that the seating capacity was insufficient for fuel and maintenance when we had to start paying more than 27 cents a gallon. -----Original...

Is there any information out there on the recomended equipment (lower cylinder cowling covers, oil cooler cover, lower cowling cover, etc) to install on a Continental 145 equipped 1967 172H when flying in temperatures below -20 degrees Celcius? I currently have the lower cowling around the...

For anyone who might be in the DC area on April 28th this should be a good evening! Margy (yes, I work at Air and Space so this is a shameful plug, but the event is FREE). This is the Air and Space Museum at Dulles Airport. The National Air and Space Society will be holding a special event on...

Here are photos of this afternoon's storm moving through northwest Tucson. I'm standing in front of my hangar at KAVQ. From the first photo until the last was about five...

Warrior Windows. A few weeks ago I asked if anyone has had any experience polishing out damage to plexiglas windows caused by a sloppy painter who got paint stripper on the plastic. No one has so I will answer my own question. No, the penetration is deep enough that the remedy will be...

It took more than a month, but my 206 is finally flying again after getting the wing skin replaced. A line guy had towed it into a flagpole. They did not have to make any modifications and everything is just as it was before. We ended up replacing the whole leading edge assembly rather than peel...

As I reading through my aircraft logs, I noticed several replacements of the Directional Gyro and Turn Coordinator. The plane is a 1978 Piper Turbo Arrow 3. Is is normal to need to replace these things every 4-5 years? Does anyone keep statistics or even projections for the mean time between...

Thanks to all for posting the Oskosh pics. I have enjoyed them. Ive never been there, but hope to make it one day. Thanks

Let me make apologies early...this is just some footage from a quick flight my wife and I took to Bennington, VT last week. It's not refined and was shot impromto with little to no forethought. For what it's worth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kfglGM8BaI Gene

I am a long time subscriber to Flying Mag. I have read Robert Goyer's articles on shared/fractional piston ownership, and decided to take a look at the numbers. His most recent article in the Dec2006 Flying states: SR22-G2 (1/8th share) = $71,900 (Note that $71,900 * 8 = $575k) $760 monthly...

I am in need of original manufacture's user manuals for the KLN89B. The manufacturer no longer produces the spiral bound manual that is required to be in the aircraft. Reproductions of the manual from the PDF document are not an acceptable substitute for the manual that must be carried in the...

Just a shot in the dark..... I'm in the process of overhauling the O-320-E2C (150 hp) in my '68 Musketeer Sport, model 19A, s/n MB-318. There is an STC available from Lycon to install pistons in the O-32-E2C to increase output to 160 hp. This has been done many times in the past on these...

For those of you upgrading and have excess equipment.... my VOR/GS/LOC indicator died and I'm looking for one of the following: GI 106A KI 209 ND 200-306 It's got to talk to an SL30. Remove the Dark Matter (the blackhole) to respond by email. Or

I just figured up the first year's annual operating costs on our Aztec. Using an average fuel price of $2.75 per gallon, we flew, hangered (partially heated), insured, and maintained it for $188 per Tach hour, slightly less per Hobbs hour. This does not include any upgrades or improvements. All...

karl G and Matt B, in lieu of our previous discussion about what appears to be too low JPI CHT readings in my aircraft, I finally had the opportunity to note the ambient temperatures for all of my JPI probes today, as the aircraft had been sitting for a few days without the Tannis heater...

Hi. I´m a student that is going for the PPL. I would like to listen the traffic and controllers but i don´t know how. I just bought a scanner MAycom AR108 but i does not catch the controller. My question is: - Does a handheld transceiber (jhp 500, icom 22 or so..) catch the controller while in...

I've finally located the manuals at http://www.pilotmall.com/page/1/PROD/26/17390 Mary and I own (and LOVE) the AvMap EKP-IIIC, the predecessor to the EKP-IV. We played with the IV extensively at OSH this year, and I fell in love with it. It's smaller, thinner -- yet still has a BIGGER,...
