We are based in NE Ohio and looking to overhaul another Archer's engine soon. We had a bad experience recently with core charges from Lycoming and have decided to do a field overhaul on this bird. We would like to fly the bird in so we are looking at companies within a reasonable distance of NE...

In the SF Bay Area, I've become desensitized to shop labor rates in the range of $90/hr. Plus or minus $5, this seems to be the going rate at PAO, SQL, RHV, or SJC. That's after you finally get your plane in the shop, which can take a day or two or seven. I recently had a very favorable...

Hey folks, I've been sitting here thinking about our upcoming get together in OSH, and I realized that not only don't we know what each other looks like, but -- worse! -- we don't know what each other's planes look like! This seems to be a major failing of this newsgroup, if you ask me. I...

I am thinking about relocating from Illinois to Ohio with my plane. Are there any suprises I need to be aware of like hidden taxes, state fees, etc regarding aircraft ownership? Bob

Calling all owners that leaseback a plane to a club or FBO or ?? I have found that financers offer different loans depending on the who uses the plane. For a club they want 10 years or less but for private they will finance up to 20 years. Maybe I just need to keep looking. I don't quite...

We are contemplating adding a weather uplink system and was wondering what experience you have had on the WxWorx or Anywhere Wx. We are leading towards the Anywhere Wx but wanted to get some comments on both. Thanks!! Jon Kraus '79 Mooney 201

Hey folks, I'm trying to decide which is preferable, a relatively low time plane with missing logs or a higher time of the same model with all logs. The first is a 65-year old plane with 1800 ttaf and 346 tsmoh. It's missing the airframe logs from 1986 and older. The other has about 3000 ttaf...

"He lives on two acres of fruit orchard in Grass Valley with his wife Gail Allinson, a Sheltie... Um Jim, you'll have to change that line if you want the women's vote. ;) Be prepared for everything to be taken out of context. Sounds like a real circus going on out there, Flint, Huffington,...

Several years ago I developed a software program to read engine RPM based on the sound that the engine makes. I now have a new version of this (free) software available which is much easier to use than the old verison. It runs on any Pocket PC, or any Windows laptop. You can use it to check the...

The message below was taken from AOPA website: ---------- Protect your freedom to fly by commenting on the ADIZ today. On Wednesday one AOPA member put up this challenge to his fellow pilots: "Let's see...we've got 400,000 AOPA members, 650,000 certificated pilots...and just 5,000 responses to this...

Hi r.a.o guys, Thru a local ad I found a 1/6th share in a 1969 Cherokee 140 (hershey bar wing). I've done some minimal due diligance on it and it looks, well, like an old 1969 rental. The nose-wheel cowling is pretty worn (looks like it's been glued several times) and the paint is original & drab....

Hi everyone, I thought I'd throw this out for discussion and see what comes from some of the experienced people on the list. I'm helping out some at a local school. The owner of the school is a REAL penny pincher. He scrimps and saves anywhere he can. He'd reuse oil if he could (he already...

Is anyone here in Australia? I'm looking for someone who can verify a company for me. They're called Aviation Salvage at the Bankstown Airport near Sydney. Their official address is: Aviation Salvage Hangar 505

P L E A S E get me a stock number. If I can get that, my local Sam's might be able to order it from distribution. Sams in Concord, CA used to have 15-50, I know they have 100. I'll look next time I'm over there, and write down the number. Paul

Last month in "GA News" there was a brief mention of a system that allowed you to turn on a power plug by calling a pager or cell phone. I was interested in it for controlling the Tanis heater on my plane, but a friend at work was describing needing something similar for his cottage to turn on the...

Greeting to All, I am investigating the possibility of purchasing my own plane in the next 12 months. With the soft prices on twin airplanes, they are starting to look a little more appealing to me than a big single. I have spent a lot of time investigating costs associated with maintenance so I...

Anybody know of a shop in the New England region that has experience installing these indicators? Our usual local shop hasn't and evidently there's a bit of learning curve. Thanks. Dave Reinhart

I have a strange, intermittent charging problem in my Mooney and am looking for a good electrical shop. I've changed out the alternator, battery, regulator, field wire, alternator ground wire and several other items and I'm still having a charging problem. I'm looking for a shop that knows how to...
