Well, in three days of flying a long cross country to West Texas from Wisconsin, my autopilot went nuts in the roll axis- wouldn't capture flight director or heading bug info, and just tried to do uncommanded turns. Altitude and pitch worked fine. Suspected a bad roll servo- could be driver...

As a member of this newsgroup for many years, I thought this would be a good place to get advice from my fellow pilots. My son is leaving for Afghanistan on the 21st of Aug from Camp Bullis. I am looking for a place to stay from Aug 20th - 22nd. Would like it to be near the "River Walk" area so...

Found this on JA Air Center's website the other day: http://shorterlink.com/?R7L145 This solves a problem we(my brother and I) have encountered in our 67 Skyhawk. We were thinking about fabricating some type of panel mount for our Garmin GPSMap 296 but just couldn't come up with a good...

Anyone out there willing to share how much an overhaul cost in your Cardinal's IO360? If so, what type of overhaul, from where, and how satisfied are you? In looking at Cardinals, I'm trying to get a handle on how much to plan for when it comes time for a new engine. Hopefully, that would be...

Why would a cold engine drip oil out of the breather? If you're bored or have any answers... read on. Lycoming IO-540 C4B5 Like some of the other owners in the group, we've had a mystery oil leak on one of our engines. Nothing severe, not enough to show up as "missing" on the dip stick. ...

The interior is finished. The work was done at Southern Avionics' new shop at Mobile Downtown Airport. http://tinyurl.com/gj5kt It took 3-1/2 weeks and, according to their manager, went 90% over their labor estimate. He is somewhat in shock about how long it took--it was their first small...
